STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
The first new music from The Orange Peels in two years premiering today at Brooklyn Vegan. "Thank You" (available everywhere Friday from Minty Fresh) "definitely pulls out all the stops as spiraling orch-pop." New album this fall, deluxe re-issue of 1997 debut album Square out this summer.
"Beautifully realized... He creates spry jangling wonders of power pop theatricality, mixing the beach-y vibes of the Beach Boys with Big Star’s vibrant melodies – and filtering the whole thing through the heartfelt AM dials of his youth." See the premiere of the lyric video for "Lost & Found" by Blesson Roy at Beats Per Minute. Debut EP out this Friday from Slow Start Records.
Fanatic is excited to be able to help in getting this album to a national audience ten years after the fact. Brooklyn Vegan has the news today: "Figg (ex-Carissa's Wierd, Modest Mouse, etc) releasing long-shelved LP," along with the track “Black Tar of Camden Yards,” which they call "a very lovely dose of chamber pop-informed indie rock."
“Dreamy and earthy... always with heartfelt emotion.” The Big Takeover premieres the lyric video for "In Tune With The Moon" by Blesson Roy (ex-Idaho, Pete Yorn). The "Time Is A Crime" EP is out May 8th.
"A child of the 1970s, whose love of AM pop radio has served him well... may be setting the pace for a new sound in a new decade." Jedd Beaudoin at PopMatters is the first to write about the new music from Blesson Roy, the project of Terry Borden, former member of slowcore pioneers Idaho and Pete Yorn's band Dirty Bird. Check out "In Tune With The Moon," available everywhere this Friday. "Time Is A Crime" EP out May 8th via Slow Start Records.
"In a world of overstuffed compositions and performances, this is a wonderfully restrained and sparse moment," says PopMatters today of this studio performance video from Kathleen Grace and Larry Goldings. The song is the 1937 classic "Where Or When," shot live in one take and featuring Goldings on this cool bit of kit called the Pocket Piano. The album version appears on the collaborative release Tie Me To You, out April 17th.
