WATCH THS: The Loom – “For The Hooves That Gallop, and the Heels That March”
October 25, 2011 by Steph
Brooklyn’s The Loom’s debut album Teeth is coming out November 1st on Crossbill Records and their single “For The Hooves That Gallop, and the Heels That March” has this pretty video that was premiered on NPR. It’s visually stunning and the song is an eerie folk track with a sultry sax melody, jazz percussion that moves the the falsetto group vocals like a spoon through molasses, and an accosting and powerful driving guitar. I’m not sure I entirely understand the concept for the video, but try to watch it and just absorb beauty. Tour dates for these guys below the break.

The Fling & Yukon Blonde on tour
October 24, 2011 by Steph
The Fling
It seems like not that long ago I was interviewing The Fling’s frontman Dustin about heading out on a West Coast tour. The Long Beach Dangerbird band is already heading back out on the road, co-headlining with an awesome Canadian band Yukon Blonde.
The Fling’s album When The Madhouses Appear came out this past March and since then, they’ve been busy touring and being awesome.
- Yukon Blonde
Yukon Blonde hasn’t wasted any time either. They band spent the last year and a half on tour in North America and Europe. I caught them a few months back at The Echo, before the release of their Fire//Water EP, out on Nevado Records on October 11th.

October 21, 2011 by Steph
The Brit duo are back and still incredibly catchy pop with a slight hip-hop twinge bringing a video inspired by San Diego via 1999. Dig it.

WATCH THIS: Lydia – “Dragging Your Feet In the Mud”
October 15, 2011 by Steph
Welcome back, Lydia. You tug at my heart strings and romanticize the world like high school young love. This video for “Dragging Your Feet In the Mud” does the same, chalk-full of images from Los Angeles’ Griffith Observatory to PCH on the California Coast. It’s been a long while since I’ve seen these guys, but they’ll be back in LA on November 5th at The Roxy on their new release Paint It Golden.

WATCH THIS: Robert Raimon Roy – “Little Egypt Wavy”
October 14, 2011 by Steph
This is funkier than Jazz from Fresh Prince doing the running man. Holy Shit! This video, directed by Peter J. Brant, is the first look into Roy’s third album Le Tigre Blanc.

HEAR THIS: Breanne Düren – “No One Else” (Tokyo Police Club Remix)
October 13, 2011 by Steph
Those awesome folks over there at Some Kind of Awesome premiered this track about a week ago. While playing local gigs at the University of Minnesota, Breanne met Adam Young of Owl City and was recruited to sing backup on tracks like “The Saltwater Room” and “Honey and the Bee.” Before you pass any judgement, check out some of her originals from her debut EP Sparks, which was released in March of this year. Then check out this great Tokyo Police Club remix of “No One Else.”

WATCH THIS: LCTRISC – “Sunbird”
October 12, 2011 by Steph
This video for Sweeden’s LCTRISC is so beautifully done and pretty heart-wrenching. Not to mention the song it’s shot for, “Sunbird,” is incredibly infectious and ethereally beautiful. I dare you to only watch this once.
