Album Review: Amanecer by Millionyoung

This came out like a month ago and the only new songs on it are the last three but it is so good! I have always been a fan of Millionyoung and I'm so happy he is still putting music out! I also heard through the grapevine that there will be another new album really soon that wont just be a collection of his really early work but will actually be a legit new album!

Ok now I know a lot of us don't have like an hour to listen to this album so if you're reading this right now wondering what songs are the best off Amanecer I would definitely say you need to make sure to listen to "Desperate Measures" but also songs like "Cynthia" "Feel the Same" and "Weak Ends". They're my favorite!

Temple Songs - Someone Get Her Outta Here

How has everyone's week been? My week has been really great. The first week back in college is always great because you're back with friends and the work-load is very low.

Anyway I was thinking last night what I would put on the blog today and I just couldn't find anything. I mean yeah I guess I didn't look super hard but it's ok! Because Temple Songs is a great band! This song especially is great with the droned out singers voice and the psychedelic/surf rock cords in the background. Definitely check these guys out!

They were (and still are to some extent) very mysterious when they first formed and currently have 1 album out called Go Tell Fire to the Mountain

Lorgnette - One Hand on a Hexagram

So first day of classes was a success. I'm an art student if you couldn't guess that so pretty chill classes. I mean, I still have to do Gen-Ed classes like History, English, Foreign Languages and what-not but it's fine.

But anywho check out Lorgnette and their awesome song "One Hand on a Hexagram" which strangely says it was released October 20, 2012... Time traveling synth-poppers? We may never know.

If you like "One Hand on a Hexagram" by Lorgnette you can listen/buy it at their bandcamp page here: http://lorgnette.bandcamp.com/track/one-hand-on-a-hexagram

They're Perdition, and if you dig this kind of music you should totally check them out! Below are links to all sorts of things, like their Facebook page, their bandcamp, and other stuff. Enjoy guys!

Wild Nothing - Shadow

Is everyone ready for Wild Nothing's new album Nocturne to get here? It's gonna be so cool! It's due to be released on August 28th so we only have a couple of weeks left until it's here!

In unrelated news, I'm going back to college on the 19th so that's pretty rad. I don't think being back will badly affect these posts but then again I need time to study and get good grades. I promise it wont be like how this blog is when it started (making like 6 or 7 posts a month).

Anyway if you haven't ever heard any music from Wild Nothing you can check him out here.

The XX release new song!

So yesterday, the awesome electro-pop band The XX released a new song called "Chained" and it has all the great elements that their debut album XX had. A great beat and rhythm, amazing vocals, and stellar crescendos that they have had in all their music is present in "Chained" and it sounds great.

"Chained" is a song off their newest album Coexist which is due to be released early next month.

If you would like to preorder Coexist you can do so either at their website: http://thexx.info/coexist
Or you can find it on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/preorder/coexist/id542012437

X Nihilo

Another great find today. Maybe even better than all the others although that could just be because this is post-rock. I have a soft spot for post-rock after listening to bands like Sigur Rós and Little Kingdoms. But honestly, X Nihilo is a really stellar band and has a lot of potential. Make sure you keep an eye on these guys.

You can download their free demo here: http://xnihilo.bandcamp.com/

And you can find their facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/X-Nihilo/224708267615666

Low Voltage Rangers

So I totes-magotes missed my dentist appointment today, so........that was a thing that happened. Also, Low Voltage Rangers released their first album. Well, that didn't happened today, but I felt I'd still talk about it.

It's pretty good. Low Voltage Rangers is a band from Milwuakee with a kind of alt-rock, electro-pop sound to them, which is really new. Not the whole "We're a band from Milwuakee" part, but the mixing of alt-rock and electro-pop thing. And it sounds really good! Songs like "Columns" and "The Mourning Grew Flowers" I think are really good examples of this. In fact, I was reminded of Blink-182 when I first listened to "Columns".

Here are just a couple great songs from Phantom Forces. If you like these songs definitely go check out the full album at their bandcamp page! Not all of us have $7 though, so at least go and like their facebook page. See you guys tomorrow!

Album Review: Gossamer by Passion Pit

First of all, if you can't listen to this track as it is and don't mind getting Spotify, go do that right now. I'm just trying out the whole "Hey man, did you know that Spotify can be in your blogs and shit?" thing that Spotify always tells me about every like 10 mins. The fact that you have to be logged into Spotify to use the player just makes me hate Spotify even more.

Anyway, holy slug! Passion Pit has finally released another album! Gossamer is definitely one of my favorites to date! I have always loved Passion Pit and this new album just adds more love-wood to the love-fire. It burns brightly today. I feel that Gossamer has more funk and rhythm than their previous albums, Manners and Chunk of Change. Songs like "Constant Conversations" definitely show this with their slowed down tempo and the way lead singer Michael Angelakos sings. Like most Passion Pit albums it has a lot of electro-pop and dance elements in it, especially in the opening song "Take a Walk" and in others throughout the album.

Make sure you grab this album from their website!

John Peña leaves Beach Fossils

Well it's official guys and girls, John Peña has left Beach Fossils to pursue Heavenly Beat full time. It really sucks that he wont be playing bass for Beach Fossils any more but Heavenly Beat has such a great sound I know it wont be all bad. His newest album entitled Talent just came out on the 14th and it really is good. Peña perfectly meshes together ethereal and pop in all of his songs. There's even a little electro-jazz at times. 

Below you can listen to "Messiah", the second song off his newest album Talent


You can buy Talent here

Hey guys, even though I'm still in Pittsburgh (and am currently checking out of my hotel to come home) I just couldn't leave you guys hanging today. So yeah it's nothing too undiscovered but The Naked and Famous just like The Knife are two bands that you should totally add to your music library. Really great musicians.

Hey guys! How's your week been so far? I hope it's been good. If any of you are baseball fans, I went to the Nationals game yesterday. So yeah...be jealous.

Anyway here's a brand new video from Super Fossil Power which looks to be just a bunch of hipsters jumping around and dancing to Super Fossil Power. The song is pretty good and you should check it out. This song is currently "Name Your Price" on Bandcamp so show them some love...and money...
