With sharp, slashing guitars and spirit animal soaring vocals, "The Cure For Shyness" is a bit of a different look for New York's Lightouts . The single leans heavy on some '90s riffage before diving headfirst into a neat solo that puts a bow on the whole affair.
1. La Sera - "Please Be My Third Eye" (Vivian Girl, Katy Goodman returned this week with Sees The Light , her second solo album under the La Sera moniker. Ditching the dreamy haze of her debut like a bad boyfriend for a more direct and poppier approach, the new album bristles with energy and charm.) http://www.myspace.com/iamkaty goodman Download: http://www.hardlyart.com/mp3/L aSera_PleaseBeMyThirdEye.mp3 2.

Listen to and download the new single from Lightouts , "The Cure For Shyness" . I require precisely no convincing that Lightouts are brilliant, but if you're in any doubt then by all means check out their new single, "The Cure For Shyness" . It preserves all the scuzzy, '90s-rock joy of their first few releases, while B-side "Deep Ends" also brings in some shoegaze touches and an undeniably Pumpkins chorus. I'm going to be honest, here: I really, really miss rock [...]
Brooklyn's Lightouts is what happens when two veterans of disparate music scenes come together with one goal in mind: making structured, catchy-scuzzy jams in the vein of '90s pop-rock. The band's new single The Cure for Shyness plays like a scrubbed-clean, sobered-up Guided By Voices (appropriately, track three is a GBV cover), all smart, simple songwriting and fun, radio-ready riffs. You can stream the single, its b-side "Deep Ends," and that reverential cover of Guided By Voices' "The Official Ironman Rally Song" below: Continue reading: New: Lightouts - The Cure for [...]

Filed under: News , Monthly Mixtape Flickr What happened to February 2012? It didn't even snow in New York City, which by our calculations is one of the 10 pillars of the apocalypse. And with Rick Santorum nearing the Republican Party presidential nomination, we have retreated within our headphones to wait around for the nuclear fallout. So head down to your basement and unplug from the world around you by checking out these 29 great [...]
Based out of Gowanus, the NYC neighborhood best known for its polluted canal (which helps keep the area's rents relatively affordable), Lightouts boast an appreciation for punchy tunes filled with power chords. After playing CMJ and local Brooklyn haunts The Knitting Factory, Union Hall and Rock Shop, the band has caught some buzz. They released their fourth single, "The Cure for Shyness" on February 7 th , an energetic anthem which displays an evolution in their musical aesthetic towards faster bpms and fuller wall of sounds. Be sure to catch them at SXSW and you can listen [...]
Last month , we introduced you all to the Brooklyn, N.Y.-based, fuzz-rock duo Lightouts and their "The Eloise Suite" music video. We are pleased to bring to all you milk-loving indie fans the release of the band's latest track, "The Cure for Shyness". Starting with a quiet 25-second introduction, the band erupts into a guitar-driven anthem. "It's definitely a call to action," Lightouts' frontman, Gavin Rhodes, said to MTV. "The cure for most ailments usually involves movement." The band will be releasing their debut album Want sometime later this year. Listen to "The Cure for Shyness" below. [...]

It is fitting that the melodic, nostalgia-shaded dance-pop Lightouts have covered lo-fi indie legends Guided By Voices. Since the duo's emergence into the NYC hipster scene, Lightouts have been compared to groups that first graced our ears through cassette tapes: Joy Division, Smashing Pumpkins, the Stone Roses. "The Official Ironmen Rally Song" is a mid-period GBV [...]

Fan de The Cure y el rock de los 90, Gavin Rhodes encontró su media naranja musical en Greg Nelson, conocido músico de la escena musical de Nueva York, a quien atrajo a través de un curioso anuncio. Juntos formaron en Brooklyn, lugar de residencia del primero, Lightouts , proyecto cuya idea inicial es editar varios singles, todos de forma gratuita, que posteriormente darán forma a un disco conceptual de título " Want" , en el que meditan sobre el significado de seguir nuestros instintos.

Lightouts , the Gowanus-duo, dropped their 4th single (and first of 2012) curiously titled "The Cure For Shyness". This track features beautiful melodic rock, intertwined with Lightouts signature 90s punk motif. At first listen, you might hear the likes of Interpol's Paul Banks from the vocals. We highly recommend you let this one marinate. Lightouts is a grower, like hair on a horse (pun entirely intended). For more Lightouts, head on over to their Soundcloud page .

Mark Lanegan's Blues Funeral comes out today, and if you couldn't tell how excited we were to feature an exclusive album preview this past week and you somehow thrilled we were to host the Mark Lanegan Band live this morning from the Cutting Room Studios in NYC, go back and listen to the performance again later today on our Live Performances Archive and you can practically hear John Richards' head explode when Mark calls him "bro." Awesome. Though Mark Lanegan lives in sunnier southern climes now, he's definitely a legend of Northwest [...]
