[MP3] Maur Due & Lichter remix Zero 7 and José González’s “Futures”

Remember Maur Due & Lichter? The electroacoustic Austrian duo whom I fell in love with after listening to their debut album, Another Day. Well, they’re back with a bonus remix of Zero 7 and José González’s tune “Futures” from The Garden. Maur Due & Lichter’s take on the song makes it an even glitchier Zero… Continue reading [MP3] Maur Due & Lichter remix Zero 7 and José González’s “Futures”

[MP3] Scattered Trees: “Four Days Straight”

Two Roll Call Records artists in a row (plus a mention on our Tumblr)! Must be some sort of…record. “Four Days Straight” was recently released as a single, with a b-side cover of John Lennon’s “Instant Karma”. Word on the street is that The Album Leaf is finishing up a little remix of it, which… Continue reading [MP3] Scattered Trees: “Four Days Straight”

[MP3] Rubblebucket: “Triangular Daisies”

Everyone loves candy, Rubblebucket makes candy pop, and if a=b and b=c then everyone should love Rubblebucket. Rubblebucket, based out of Brooklyn (but formerly of Vermont), recently released “Triangular Daisies”, the title track off their new EP out October 19 on Roll Call Records, for free download. A smooth, jazz/pop fusion of a song, “Triangular… Continue reading [MP3] Rubblebucket: “Triangular Daisies”

Sacred Animals releases debut EP, Welcome Home

After Abby’s little love note to Radical Face (aka Ben Cooper) and his latest (brilliant) EP, Touch The Sky, I found it appropriate to post about Sacred Animals’ debut EP, Welcome Home, which was released October 1. Cooper had a special version of his own “Welcome Home” track on Touch The Sky, so I’m hitting… Continue reading Sacred Animals releases debut EP, Welcome Home

[MP3] Lelia Broussard: “Satellite”

A while back (almost a year ago) I wrote about I HEART Inc’s second annual Bombshell Alliance, in which a compilation featuring rising singer/songwriters accompanied the event. Well, if there is to be a third annual Alliance, it won’t happen until mid-November, but the singer/songwriter I profiled as part of the event last year was… Continue reading [MP3] Lelia Broussard: “Satellite”

Ladycop

Ladycop is a Brooklyn band who’s been around for a few years, but with the release of their latest album, Waves, they’re ready to strike it big. Waves, released in September, is full of swooning indie rock with pulsating guitar and generous synth. Tracks alternate from hushed acoustic beauties to spacey, echo-filled segments to slow-building cathartic anthems.… Continue reading Ladycop

Evan P. Donohue

Evan P. Donohue is a budding multi-instrumentalist based out of Nashville, making a name for himself with eccentric rock and a dash of retro. Donohue’s low, powerful voice blossoms against a breezy backing. Playful harmonies work their way into several lively songs. I’m not even sure what the best context is to listen to this… Continue reading Evan P. Donohue

I Hate You Just Kidding

There’s really nothing like a guy-girl duo in music, with the ebb and flow of the baritone and soprano working wonders. I Hate You Just Kidding falls under the category pretty well (did you expect anything else from a band called I Hate You Just Kidding?) using a toasty and tasty blend of pop folk… Continue reading I Hate You Just Kidding
