Quiet Life: Cave Country/No Surprise [NSFW Video]
Abbey over at Sound On The Sound mentioned yesterday that Quiet Life has become her sunny day soundtrack. Yeah, that’s about right. The band has a northwest style of folk-rock that definitely has a summer feel, and it comes across nicely in the dual video for their songs “Cave Country” and “No Surprise”.

Folklore: Home Church Road [Album Review]
For a concept album about a post-apocalyptic world, Home Church Road sure does have the erratic presence you’d expect. Folklore, not surprisingly, seems quite comfortable in the realm of folk songs. But they do throw in plenty of wild, borderline punk ones to match. All of it lo-fi. Read More »Folklore: Home Church Road [Album Review]
Chad VanGaalen: Peace On The Rise [Video]
Diaper Island, Chad VanGaalen‘s awesomely titled new LP, dropped yesterday, and to celebrate the milestone he created a video. Mind you, videos from Chad are typically far from the norm, featuring original cartoonish art that’s a bit demented in a way. This is, like the oddities in his music, a very, very good thing.

Battles: Ice Cream [NSFW Video]
Here comes summer. You can tell as color is returning to the landscape. Perfect timing for Battles to release a video for “Ice Cream”, a song off their forthcoming LP, Gloss Drop. Now a trio, the band enlisted several guest vocalists for the new record, and “Ice Cream” features none other than DJ Matias Aguayo (Kompakt).

Fishboy: Alyson Revere [Video]
Oh Fishboy, you never fail to amuse. We interviewed Fishboy’s Eric Michener a few months back about his new LP, Classic Creeps, which finally came out this week. Yeah, we’ve been rocking to it since January and can contest to its total awesomeness. Well, in celebration of the release, Michener, aka Fishboy, put together a video for the album’s fifth song, “Alyson Revere”, and it goes a little something like this… Read More »Fishboy: Alyson Revere [Video]
Brontosaurus: Beware [mp3]
I heard Brontosaurus was a band fans of Black Heart Procession might dig, and after a few listens to their LP Cold Comes to Claim, I’d say that was pretty accurate. The opening track, “Beware” has that epic post rock meets prog rock darkness Black Heart tends to employ, and Brontosaurus make it their own with haunting organs and Califone-style folk vocals. And both Nicholas Kelley and Nicholas Papaleo, the duo behind Brontosaurus, take the lead on those vocals. Read More »Brontosaurus: Beware [mp3]
Francois Peglau: The Imminent Failure of Francois Peglau [Album Review]
It’s a little difficult to pinpoint the origins of Francois Peglau’s music. It’s pop, but from a cultural standpoint there are a number of influences. The most noticeable being French, you can also hear a little of Peglau’s South American heritage in his music. There’s also a strong hint of his current British home (perhaps inject a light Beatles reference). Read More »Francois Peglau: The Imminent Failure of Francois Peglau [Album Review]
