FEARLESS SONS - NEW EP

Through the grapevine we are hearing that Fearless Sons (formerly Primitive Skin) is set to record their second EP at Adrian Grenier's WRECKROOM studios in Brooklyn. "Fearless Sons are a three-piece hard psych rock band from New York City. The band’s sound is a departure from and a reaction to the airy synth-pop sound that dominates the underground music scene today. The band roots itself in the musical aesthetic of musical icons like The Jesus and Mary Chain, Primal Scream, Spacemen 3, The Stooges and Nick Cave while also drawing inspiration from primitive urges, dark imagery and the human experience. Their compositions shift dynamically from one moment to the next, moving from hazy repetitive guitar riffs to explosive grinding choruses. Fearless Sons will take you on a ride through hazy ruins of time only to spit you back out onto the dirty city streets of New York." We are excited to hear what these boys put out. A lo-fi self-recording of one of the tracks off their upcoming EP can be found here:

ANIMAL PARTY - AND THE SUN WILL RISE

New video from San Fran. rocker Kiyoshi Foster and his latest project Animal Party. Classic, hard hitting rockroll. Looking forward to hearing the full length from these boys. The Sun Will Rise!

PALMS HOTEL

I was recently digging around on the interweb for new music and came upon an old demo from a group called Palms Hotel. It's gritty lo-fi pop reminiscent of Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti. It seems like the tracks are somewhat unfinished, but I like the lo-fi electro live sound none-the-less. The uploader says the tracks were converted to digital via cassette tapes. The tracks are streaming on soundcloud here: Post a comment if you know anything more about this group...

PRIMITIVE SKIN TO RELEASE FIRST EP

This just in...our friends Primtive Skin are headed to BIAS studios in DC to record their first EP in early December. We have heard some sneak peeks of the demo recordings of these tunes and are pumped to hear the final versions. We recommend Primitive Skin to fans of heavy psych and shoegaze, particularly those of you who enjoy bands like the Brian Jonestown Massacre, the Jesus and Mary Chain, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and Crocodiles. Look for the EP to drop around January/February 2012.

Barr Brothers, Self-Titled Debut Album

Amazing songwriters and instrumentalists Brad and Andrew Barr from the Slip release their full legnth debut as the Barr Brothers on Tuesday September 26. Go grab a copy or download one on i-Tunes. Those of following this group over the last year or so (and lucky enough to have grabbed a pre-release of the album at a live show) know that they are something really special. A beautiful blend of traditional folk, polyrhythms, blues guitar, african grooves, experimental rock, and wonderful lyricism. Somewhere between Ali Farka Toure, Ry Cooder, Paul Simon, Wilco, and Zeppelin. And by the way, the have a harp player. The song "Beggar in the Morning" might just be one of my all-time favorites.

BLORR @ Cameo Gallery

Florida's Bastard Lovechild of Rock and Roll aka BLORR aka Le BLORR played Cameo Gallery in Billberg last night. The duo jammed out a couple of new heaters in their set. Interesting use of bass and synth triggers by drummer Adam Winn to cover the low end and fill out the sound. All around a good show.

Check them out tonight and tomorrow night in Montauk.

Kiyoshi Foster, New Album, Title Track

Beautiful title track from San Francisco artist Kiyoshi Foster's new album "Tranquilizer."

SOLAR BEARS

Get up to speed on these guys! Slow dark haunting psych synth...I couldn't ask for anything more. Definitely a new favorite. A band to watch in the next couple of years. I am crossing my fingers that they tour the States.

"Hailing from Dublin and Wicklow, Solar Bears formed in early 2009. The band consists of John Kowalski and Rian Trench who met at sound engineering college. Sharing a love of world cinema, their music combines a number of different influences ranging from electronica to film composers like Ennio Morricone and George Delerue. Their sound is a mix of programming, acoustic instruments, synths and vintage tape machines. The freeform approach of their writing and recording lends itself to varying tones and colours. Tracks often have differing sound sources from each other creating a unique musical experience. " - last.fm

Settlers

Brooklyn band Settlers posted a few rough tracks on their myspace page. We expect huge things from these boys. Medieval folk with a touch of bluegrass laced with harmony vocals? How can you go wrong?

Hull

“Concrete, down tempo, doom, stoner sludge rock, metal…Hull is the shipwreck you wanna watch while sitting in a light house. Everything you want to hear and see from a band that is loud as fuck. An army of decapitated and limbless torsos, squirting rock booze out of every vein. Pick up their debut album Sole Lord here. They are currently working on a new album.”
