Seattle based Throw Me the Statue covers "Sharpshooters" off the upcoming BOAT LP "Pretend to be Brave." out February 2013. The subtle simplicity and experimental nature that breaths around the minimal instrumentation just makes this track a joy to listen to. Check out more of Throw Me the Statue off their official site.
A Fairway Full Of Miners è il titolo del terzo album dei canadesi Boats - a distanza di quasi tre anni dal precedente Cannonballs, Cannonballs, pubblicato nel 2010 e ristampato l’anno seguente (la proposta di movimenta fu T.V. Scientist ), uscirà per Kill Rock Stars il prossimo 5 Febbraio, anticipato dal singolo Great Skulls : Great Skulls by Boats
I've not been so impressed with a folk group in a good while as I am with Boat to Row . When I pressed the little orange play button below, a velvety track started to flow luxuriously through my speakers, with notes of warming folk essence and beautiful combination of melody and instrumentation, making 'Winter in Bloom' a fab choice for our 21st installment of the AltSounds Advent Calendar . The track was originally featured on the For Folk's Sake's Christmas compilation album, but we're proud to offer you guys [...]
![[Listen] Boats- Great Skulls](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4681901_lg.jpg)
by Tiana Feng Winnipeg pop group Boats are releasing an album called A Fairway Full of Miners on February 5th. So far they have only revealed one track Great Skulls from it which you can stream below. It's bouncy tune and full of quirky synths, fun guitar jams and leaves the listener thirsting for more. Great Skulls by Boats
Sky Ferreira 's Ghost was one of our favorite EPs of the year , partly thanks to Ferreira's ability to hop genres while maintaining a sense of melancholy along the way. For this performance of the EP's title track for MTV Hive and Yours Truly, Ferreira is on a boat with just an acoustic guitarist accompanying her. (Why a boat? Maybe because the lovesick song mimics seasickness.) "Ghost" was already the saddest song of the EP, but this evocative take gives it an added weariness. Check it out up top.
(Valentin Mittelstet) I have to be honest here, the first time I heard Winnipeg's Boats , I wasn't exactly impressed, but the more I hear "Great Skulls", the first cut off their soon-to-be-released third LP, A Fairway Full Of Miners , I'm coming around to their quirky, improbably hook-filled pop. I'm a sucker for a supercool horn fill, and the trashy "junk-store" pop of this track is a much needed antidote to the sterile, poo-poo pop I've been hearing lately. Trashy as it [...]
Some new stuff, new to us and new to you for your Monday review. Enjoy! Discover: The Understudies Maybe picking up a used copy of Belle & Sebastian's Push Barman to Open Old Wounds this weekend has something to do with it, but I can't get sounds of The Understudies out of my head. This, after having heard the single, "A Girl Used To Knock About With", on the Odd Box Records SoundCloud page . One thing led to [...]

When it comes to catchy indie pop, Winnipeg's Boats are tragically overlooked. Maybe that will change as the band gets set to release it's third full length, Fairway Full of Miners , on heavyweight independent label Kill Rock Stars . The record has been set for a February 5th release date. Here's the track list for the album: Continue reading »
![[Indie] Blue Boats – I Am The Only One](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4599050_lg.jpg)
A few days ago Blue Boats released a new ditty. It's a great jam. It's balance of chill elements and emotionality make it a stimulating track for both the mind and body. Danceable yet cognitive, energetic yet relaxed, and overall considerate in terms of authenticity and originality. A listen is not too likely to disappoint if its low-key indie you're desperately turning your dial to find. And if you feel inclined to hear more, Blue Boats recently released Summer's Down in September with label Brapscallions .
The best moments from the best Vlog of 2012.
Ein Boot welches auch ein Jacuzzi ist und somit ein Jacuzzi mit dem man auf dem Wasser hin und her fahren kann und anstatt im kalten, oftmals wenig ansprechendem Wasser der Seen und Flüsse der Gegend gemütlich im dampfendem Nass des Hot Tub Jacuzzi Boat sitzend die Welt genießen darf. Und auch wenn mich mein Satzbau manchmal selber ein wenig verwirrt, muss ich doch sagen das solch eine Erfindung schon viel zu lange hat auf sich warten lassen. Daher mal nen Gruß an Hot Tug , denen wir das zu verdanken haben. [...]

photo by Dave Lichterman Although all good things come to an end, some good things can be revisited on video. The final installment of this year's Concerts at the Mural series, for example. Featuring sets from Fresh Espresso, Reptar , and BOAT , the night of August 24th captured the feeling of that bittersweet end-of-summer joy. Two local bands, one from outer space, the theme of the night was party! Relive the festivities by watching videos of the performance below and be sure to check out some photos from the night over [...]

2 Chainz is making a push as we await his B.O.A.T.S LP which is due August 14th. Today we get another leak this one featuring Tunechi himself, titled "Yuck". I dunno how to feel about the leaks from the LP, let's just say Codeine Cowboy will always be the 2chainz I know. 2 Chainz: "Yuck" Feat. Lil Wayne
Irish readers may be familiar with Hardy Bucks , a mockumentary series which originated online. Seems like one of its characters had a go at providing an alternative commentary at one of the perhaps less dramatic Olympic sports.
