Atlanta’s MOOD RINGS have just dropped an early demo for their upcoming LP, Dream Infinity Live In Fantasy. This is a slow burner, mood mellower. Really quite different from the previous stuff on Sweater Weather Forever – I dig.

Plymouth, UK’s Gorgeous Bully make…well gorgeous lo-fi rock and roll. Play it loud. Play it proud.
mp3: Gorgeous Bully – Never Cry
That track is from their upcoming Art Is Hard release, The Young Obese, that comes in the super-awesome cigarette cassette box format. Get it here. There’s also loads of good tracks for listening and downloading at their own Bandcamp and Soundcloud. Here’s one from there:
mp3: Gorgeous Bully – That Kind Of Girl

Denver’s Balue is making their high elevation dip down to the coast…at least for the 5 sea salt coated pop rock tracks of Worry Toobs. Seriously if I were to guarantee some music for some joyous listening today, this simmering set of songs by Eli Thomas would be it. Get it.

So it’s been over a year since Ann Arbor’s Lou Breed aka Jeremy Daly released Stoned Out: Miami Beach…but it deserves a mention. The ice is thick here in Bmore, but LB is melting it with some sick lo-fi psychedelic rock spins. Tap into the multicolored joy for free over at his bandcamp. Meanwhile…
mp3: Lou Breed - Psychedelic Gymnasium

I really can’t find to much info on these Koban folks out of Vancouver, but man does their sound take me back. You could lump them into that goth industrial sound that they categorize themselves in, but I hear so much Melvins, Pixies, and Sonic Youth blistering through the bleakness one moment, then another second I get some Misfits/Danzig shadows casting. Seriously it makes me want to cry…cries of joy. !!!
mp3: Koban – L’ombre

Sometimes you just have to love Facebook. The other day I was scanning me Facebook feed and came across James of White Birds (formerly of Drink Up Buttercup) hyping Philly’s Market East. Never heard of them, but at that point seemed as good as any to do the incredibly difficult task of clicking on a link [tongue-in-cheek]. Woooooooooooow. Market East is a trio that plays gorgeous subway platform acoustic harmonic pop in the same vein as Simon & Garfunkel. This is beautiful vocal pop music at its purest form. No fancy effects, layers, or what have you…just a crackly mic and an absurd amount of talent (and the knack for writing songs about the ladies). I was particularly taken aback when they drop everything except the vocals on “Ainsley”.
mp3: Market East – Sofia

Hmmm. I’m in complete synth overload right now. That’s a good thing. Philadelphia’s Crozet lay the electronic dreams down thick on their newest We’ll Be Gone By Then – full on based out synth ripe for any neon adventure. Get it here.
Stream the full thing over on SoundCloud.

Lissy Trullie – Madeleine (Selebrities Remix) + (Jewellers Remix)
In March we get the debut LP from Lissy Trullie, and I’m super pumped about it ever since hearing the first single “Madeline” back in November. Now we have two delightful remixes of that track. The first is a glamourous electronic sparkle from Selebrities. The second is a haunter by Jewellers.
