Bright Moments - Drifters
2012 had more than a handful of impressive debut full-lengths, including Alabama Shakes' Boys & Girls , Porcelain Raft's Strange Weekend , and Jack White's Blunderbuss . The tracks below don't even begin to scratch the surface of debuts this year, but these are a few of my favorites. The buzz band of 2011 did not disappoint. If you have yet to give this record a chance, you're only hurting yourself. It's more than just "Southern rock". It's rock and soul [...]

DC's favorite sons Jukebox the Ghost return to the District tomorrow night for their second headlining stint at the 9:30 Club. Hot off the release of their third studio album, Safe Travels , and an impressive sold-out performance at the Bowery Ballroom in New York, the DC-by-Philly-by-Brooklyn three piece are bringing dream pop maestros Savoir Adore along for the ride. It only makes sense then that the two be wed forever in holy remix matrimony. Check out Savoir's electro-pop treatment of the lead single off Jukebox's Safe Travels , "Somebody," [...]

Por Augusto Dallachiesa Son varias las bandas que revisan una y otra vez en su propia batea de discos para rastrear las huellas y empezar a componer a partir de esa búsqueda. El año pasado, los estadounidenses de Yacht demostraron con Shangri-La que, sin caer en la tentación de imitar al pie de la letra a LCD Soundsystem , pueden armar algo interesante para los oídos ávidos de novedades musicales. En este 2012, pasa algo similar con [...]

When we reviewed the Bright Moments' debut, Natives , back in February our trusty reviewer went so far to say that "it insulates all the cold corners of my musical universe". This is Pop in full motion, gloriously assembled by the man behind the moniker Kelly Pratt. We wanted to thank Kelly for the music, the songs and the sounds, but after careful consideration felt a Call Back would probably read better. Bowlegs: Which album has been a major influence in your life, and why? [...]

You may remember "Tourists", the Natives single from Kelly Pratt, aka Bright Moments, as having an Eastern-European influenced sound.

Kelly Pratt has an enviable heft of indie cred to his name. The mass of wind instruments on Arcade Fire's Neon Bible? That's Pratt. LCD Soundsystem's later-day horn section? Pratt was part of it. Those trumpets and vocal harmonies found in Beirut? Our man Pratt. The talented multi-instrumentalist recently took on the solo moniker Bright Moments and released his debut LP, Natives . Now, through the tried tradition of remixing, Pratt can add another indie star to his list of collaborators: Passion Pit . Well, at least Passion Pit's [...]
