Act like you’ve been here before
Smile less and dress up some more
Tie up your scarf real tight
These boys are out for blood tonight

Hop Along - Tibetan Pop Stars

Absolutely fixated on Hop Along as of late. ‘Get Disowned’ is a fantastic record. Strong from start to finish. Evocative song-writing. Wonderfully complementary and guitar-thrashing instrumentation. Perfectly imperfect vocals.

Fans of Joy Formidable will love Hop Along.

It’s an album that commands an immediate visceral reaction. Just brilliant all around. Highly, highly recommend it!

This. Song. Destroys. Me.

misery over dispute
Waxahatchee
Cerulean Salt

Waxahatchee - Misery Over Dispute - Cerulean Salt (2013)

One of the best albums I’ve purchased over the last year or so.

Flat out fantastic from start to finish. Immediate, visceral reaction upon first hearing it — in a good way.

Katie Crutchfield is flippin’ brilliant.

Jeane, if you're ever in Portland
Casiotone for the Painfully Alone
Twinkle Echo

Casiotone for the Painfully Alone - Jeane, if you’re ever in Portland - Twinkle Echo (2003)

Casiotone for the Painfully Alone this rainy Sunday evening in Portland. A favorite.

Love the minimalistic instrumentation and narrative songwriting.

Bummed that CFTPA is no more and the songs have been “retired”…

But, Owen Ashworth continues as Advance Base and I highly recommend checking out this latest endeavor — he’s touring in November.

        

Sunday Drive
Ladyhawke
Anxiety

Ladyhawke - Sunday Drive - Anxiety (2012)

From one of my favorite albums of 2012.

Anxiety is flat out fantastic.

       

Previous post: There’s no let down in Anxiety. Brilliant in every way, it’s an undulating journey, from song to song, that combines to form a hypnotic and highly addictive record. From heavy guitar beats to ’80s pop mastery to rich ballads to guitar riffing madness, the more I listen to it the more I can’t get enough of it — the true test of a great album.

Fans of indie-rock and ’80s, pop/dance music will instantly fall in love with this offering. It’s a must get and I can’t recommend it more highly. 

Ladyhawke.

Nonesuch
Tanlines
Mixed Emotions

Tanlines - Nonesuch - Mixed Emotions (2012)

This. Song. 

So flipping good.

Tanlines put out one of my favorite releases of 2012. A solid album from front to back. Just fantastic.

       

“Does part of you want to say
There’s a part of me over you?
No matter how long it’ll take
No more leaving without you
So say what you want to say
But there’s nowhere to run to
Part of me wants to say
There’s a part of me over you…”

Lyrics.

Sailingsong
A Fine Frenzy
Pines

A Fine Frenzy - Sailingsong - Pines (2012)

Love this song. Enough said.

Listened to this latest album from A Fine Frenzy for the better part of this past week. 

       

Another fantastic release. Alison Sudol has done it again!

I highly recommend checking it out.

Josh and Mer - Porcelain - The Tithe

Love this tune from @joshandmer upcoming LP, The Tithe. Josh and Mer produce emotive, dreamy, indie rock that’s grounded in thoughtful lyrics, flawlessly balanced instrumentation and vocals that complement each other perfectly.

***

Josh and Mer are on an ambitious quest to produce an animated music video. They’ve teamed up with an incredible animator (Austin Hillebrecht) and they’ve established a Kickstarter campaign.

Visit the Kickstarter campaign page to take an entertaining peak behind the curtains of the “From the Sea” Callioscope.

Having watched the introductory video, and read/heard all about the Callioscope, I’m intrigued and impressed by the vision and artistry. Imagination, an actual concept, vision, attention to detail… It’s rare to see that in music video production these days and, needless to say, it’s a large undertaking. 

Join me in supporting Josh and Mer and Austin as they embark on this artistic journey. They could use any and all help to bring this piece of art to fruition.

Yuck
Yuck (Deluxe Version)

Yuck - Sunday - Yuck (2011)

Another favorite ‘Sunday’ song. The vocals. The songwriting. That melodic guitar riff that perfectly accompanies… 

Just fantastic.

Cold winter months, and I’m thinking of you
how you’re not with me
I used to choreograph the animals in the sea…

       

Yuck.

Sunday Smile
Beirut
The Flying Club Cup

Beirut - Sunday Smile - The Flying Club Cup (2007)

Often brings a smile to my face and a single tear to my eye.

Quite poignant.

All I want is the best for our lives my dear,
And you know my wishes are sincere.
What’s to say for the days I cannot bear…

        

Quiet perfect.

Beirut.

With The World At My Feet
Big Deal
Lights Out

Big Deal - With The World At My Feet - Lights Out (2011)

Soaking myself in this album. Delightful tune.

Wonderful company on this rainy Saturday afternoon and evening.

With the world at my feet and the stars in my reach but you won’t be with me, you won’t be with me. I was waiting for you. Was waiting. I was sleeping. You been changing. You don’t have to say it’s done. I know, I know. You don’t have to say it’s done. I know, I know. With the world at my feet and the stars in my reach but you won’t be with me. You won’t be with me…”

Mmmm, fuzzalicious…

          

From a previous post:

Big Deal are the duo of Kacey Underwood and Alice Costelloe. And Lights Out, they’re debut album, is pretty much fantastic. The duo complement each other perfectly. Such a fresh and natural sound, not over produced and delightfully raw. 

I highly recommend the album.
