Railcars 12″ EP Giveaway

railcars

If you’ve been following FensePost for a while, you may have heard of Railcars. We premiered a song off their EP Cathedral With No Eyes back when it was just a demo, and we had great things to say about their debut 7″ single Cities Vs. Submarines as well. So yeah, we’ve been a fan of these guys for some time. Railcars is an experimental noise pop outfit from San Francisco fronted by Aria Jalali, and we’re now giving them more love by giving away a copy of last year’s Cathedral EP.

Ólafur Arnalds: Þú ert sólin [mp3]

olafur-arnalds

Ólafur Arnalds is a Icelandic neo-classical artist whose work is at the forefront of the clash between classical and indie music. After debuting in 2007 with Eulogy for Evolution, the Arnalds is now set to release its follow-up LP, …And They Have Escaped The Weight Of Darkness. The first single is “Þú ert sólin” and it translates roughly to “You Are The Sun”. Stacked up next to Eulogy for Evolution, Arnalds continues his to impress with a song both emotive and uplifting. “You Are The Sun” is an ample title, conveying the warmth of sun rays on a cool spring morning. It doesn’t have the power he packed into the frantic closers of Evolution, “3326” and “3704/3837” respectively, but it matches them in creativity, brilliance and sheer genius.

The Ambience Affair

It’s not every day that a simple 4 song EP can blow your mind faster than a shotgun in a grunge musician’s double wide trailer. The Ambience Affair‘s sophomore EP, Patterns, does just that. Unless you have been well in the loop since their first EP, Fragile Things, this is sure to be the group that will be leaving you with questions such as, “where the hell have I been?” or “should I cut the world apart because I didn’t hear these guys earlier?” These guys could easily be your favorite indie rocker’s favorite indie rockers.

10 (ish) Reasons Why Sub Pop May Dominate 2010 [Label Spotlight In A List]

Earlier this week I noted in my review of Avi Buffalo that Sub Pop may very well dominate my end of year list, and that being notable as we near the 1/3 mark of 2010. After thinking about it, I figured it was time for another list in Label Spotlight form. Now, the typical Label Spotlight covers the unknown record collectives throughout the world, but as some of my favorite releases so far this year have come from Sub Pop, I figured What the hell… Let’s go for it!

The Dø: At Last [Video]

The Dø

The Dø are a French meets Finnish duo who released their debut LP, A Mouthful on Six Degrees Records earlier this month, which prompted the infamous Pitchfork to state the album “is as ambitious and fun as any coming-out party in recent memory.” After giving it a listen, I can attest that it is pretty damn fun. “At Last” is an easy favorite with over-pronounced words sung in a sexy foreign accent and a laid-back, calm guitar strum that dares you not to fall in love.

Shiny & The Spoon: Shiny & The Spoon [Album Review]

  • Cyndi 

Shiny & The Spoon

There is something young and lovely about a ukulele. By its simple and unassuming sound we are taken to images of sun-lit woods and sweet-air beaches. We hear a ukulele and we know something good is bound to happen. Such is the spirit of duo act Shiny & the Spoon. Comprised of Amber Nash and Jordan Neff, the two Americana folksters work whimsically together in creating bare-boned songs of hazy nights and mellow mornings, sounds capable of churning loneliness into solitude.

Simon Bish: Butterfly Girl [Track Review]

simon-bish

The butterfly is always the easiest and most admired insect to ingest the world of indie rock/pop/whatever with great reason. A butterfly begins its stages as just another creepy, crawly tree dweller before it bursts into the world as a multi-colored miracle floating amidst the very trees it once depended upon to slowly push its existence around. Cue the beautiful girl that strikes her heart and makes an obvious comparison, and you have British songwriter Simon Bish and his wonderfully derived song “Butterfly Girl”. Bish’s tremendously soft and sweet pop melody is at its most tender moments when the violins join the chorus from the fires of simplistic hell and whirl the Brit pop goodness faster than the wings of a, well….butterfly!
