Saturday Looks Good to Me founder Fred Thomas talks to NBHAP about maintaining an indie pop band, changing band line-ups, and the Great Lakes The post Interview: Saturday Looks Good to Me - "Jump in and start your life afresh" appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .
Nothing out of the ordinary for Tracyanne Campbell and co. Sticking to a formula that quite clearly works, and welcomingly reminiscent of classics like 'Lloyd, I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken' and 'French Navy', with 'This Is Love' and 'Troublemaker' creating instantly memorable hooks. Following on from the 31-second intro to this album, the opening minute of Desire Lines sets the happy, jazzy and upbeat tone for the entire album. Camera Obscura kind of disappeared off the planet following the 2009 release of My Maudlin Career , but they’re back with this blissfully [...]
Camera Obscura doesn't so much come roaring out of the gate as much as they saunter into the room on "This is Love (Feels Alright)," the first song on their excellent new record, Desire Lines . It's a slow burn of a tune, letting the listener become reacquainted with the group's dainty touch and whimsical sense of sound that is simultaneously modern and yet straight out of the 19602s. No longer ready to be heartbroken, the band sounds confident in their abilities as songwriters, making an album that is as wistful as it is universal in its expression [...]
Belle & Sebastian + Yo La Tengo Stage AE (outdoors!) 07.13.2013 / Doors 7:00 / $35 Words by Brendan I was very excited when The Warhol Museum announced this show as part of their Sound Series . I'm just as excited now to announce that we can help you attend this show! Belle & Sebastian and Yo La Tengo are veritable indie rock legends, both of them. What's more, this is Belle & [...]
Surf-pop twopiece, Best Coast have confirmed they've finished a new EP which they'll showcase on their upcoming summer tour. The band have announced a series of North American live dates throughout May, June, July, August and through into September, where they'll be hitting the road with the likes of Belle and Sebastian , Guards , Bleached and Lovely Bad Things . Beth Corsentino told MTV : "We recorded it a couple months ago in LA, but we're not on a [...]
In a week where one of the highest profile new releases of the year introduces its nostalgia-reveling sounds to the masses, Fred Thomas's Saturday Looks Good To Me quietly returns in all its 60s pop glory. One Kiss Ends It All is filled to the brim with plenty of pop chestnuts, but it's also the home to an array of modern production flourishes, bringing in twists and turns to the band's twee-as-fuck foundation. The result is an album that uses the pop sounds of Burt [...]
Kjell B Persson Know what the worst thing about not going to SXSW this Spring was? Not missing SXSW, but not having my previously annual late-Winter vacation. In fact, save for a weekend jaunt to New York last November, the last time I got out of the 416 was Labour Day - that's well over eight months ago, and right mental. And while I'd like to say that the European theme of this post is a hint as to where I'm getting away to, it unfortunately is not. I still hope to make it across the Atlantic later [...]
Torches really brought it on this EP. Okay, I know "it" is really vague; let me explain. These four songs are ruggedly dark with soaring harmonies and daring guitar lines. Each song displays a new side of the band, yet the entire EP is cohesive in its own right. If The People Stare find the band hungry for more and working on all four cylinders. Their influences seem to range from Of Monsters & Men to Belle & Sebastian , especially the latter on [...]

Os Hero & Leander são 6 ingleses que fazem pop descomprometida. Em volta da voz de Emily Sills e Gary Cansell criam orquestrações honestas de violino, baixo, piano, percussão e guitarra, com melodias que se aninham no nosso ombro. O sexteto tem arrancado comparações a bandas como Belle and Sebastian, Camera Obscura ou Arcade Fire, pela pontinha folk que mergulham em cada tema, mas sempre mantendo a atitude indie borbulhante. Mas foram os Beatles que a banda homenageou, pedido emprestado o título de uma das suas músicas, "Tumble", para dar o nome ao álbum de estreia que será lançado [...]
Matt Spalding At the risk of being overly literal, it probably goes without saying that a band called Editors would hardly be averse to making changes. But the Birmingham band's decision to push synthesizers to the fore on their third album, 20092s In This Light And On This Evening , might have been a little more stylistic revision than they or their fans bargained for. It didn't fare nearly as well, commercially-speaking, as either of its predecessors - fans apparently preferred them when they were aping Joy Division rather than New [...]
La palabra " Pastie " no existe en la lengua francesa , así que lo más probable es que su inclusión en el título de esta asombrosa canción de Belle and Sebastian corresponda en realidad a una mala traducción de "l'apathie de la bourgeoisie". No deja de ser una teoría, pero encaja bastante bien en el particular universo que Stuart Murdoch retrataba con afilada escritura en 1997, y cuyos ingredientes principales eran alta literatura, angustia juvenil,religión y sordidez a partes iguales. La otra posible explicación viene de una declaración hecha por John McKeown, líder por entonces de la banda The [...]
Como habitual, por cá fica o resumo do que de mais importante se passou na minha página alternativa do Facebook. Esta semana foi um bocado curta em termos musicais. Os temas ficaram mais concentrados em dias específicos não tendo uma distribuição regular ao longo da semana. A semana teve o seu início assinalando o Record Store Day com a remistura do tema "After You" dos Pulp (c/ James
>> The fact that we haven't bought a Tullycraft record since the release of 1999's singles compilation (fittingly titled The Singles ) is more a sign of poor decision making than of a lack of enthusiasm for the delightful indie pop institution. We can still remember the excitement in college back in the dark ages when those first singles were arriving at the radio station, a time when people still somewhat suspiciously referred to Seattle-based Tullycraft as the "new thing from the Crayon guy." Fronted by Sean [...]
Ahead of this afternoon's announcement I make a point of the pointless... It's nearly May and there is still no announcement from the organisers of Electric Picnic , until later this afternoon of course. With Longitude ( Kraftwerk , Phoenix , Foals , Vampire Weekend ), Forbidden Fruit ( Chic , Four Tet , James Blake , Austra , Daughter ), Iveagh Gardens ( Tallest Man On Earth , Grizzly Bear , Beach [...]

I know it's been a little while since I've posted a soundtrack playlist, but during my hiatus my wife and I welcomed our beautiful daughter Madeline Grace into the world. This led to me brainstorming a great movie soundtrack to honor her appearance into my life. Only one came to mind: Juno . Juno is one of those movies that resonates with so many different types of people. From one aspect, it's the story of an eclectic uncompromising adolescent (played by Ellen Page) coming to terms with who she is while dealing with an unplanned [...]
Annie Dressner's self produced EP, East Twenties, hits all the perfect notes of melancholia meets love and candles.
