Tweetvaso link I've been working on a review of the North Highlands record for far too long at this point. I haven't been able to give it the time necessary to organize my thoughts sufficiently about their amazing record Wild One, so it's been several weeks too long in giving it its proper due. I hope...

[photo from North Highlands Facebook page ] North Highlands are one of Brooklyn's most promising new indie-folk bands. Their 2010 Sugar Lips EP gave us a taste of their talent, as Brenda Malvini's sweet vocals and keys are accompanied by a full band of accomplished musicians. In October, the band released their first full length album. Wild One is the full realization of those talents, as eleven-song album features infectious and expertly crafted melodies. At the Cameo Gallery on Saturday of CMJ week, [...]

Brenda Malvini used to live in North Highlands (outside of Sacramento) and describes it as "a gnarly suburb trapped in time. It sounds like a beautiful name but it's not a beautiful place." Though she'd move to Brooklyn, NY, Malvini fronts a band named after her old town. North Highlands , the band, just released their debut album Wild One (Stream it here ) last week. Our writer Ace Ubas sent over some questions to Brenda about the new album,...

Una herramienta que se ha hecho muy popular en los últimos años es la nube de palabras. Con ella podemos hacernos una idea general de lo que quiere transmitir una persona en un discurso, un partido político en su programa electoral o las palabras más buscadas en una determinada web. Si tuviésemos que elaborar una nube de palabras con las principales preocupaciones que tenemos en mente seguro que entre las ganadoras estaría la crisis económica y sus posibles consecuencias. Aunque a veces dé la sensación de que viven en otro mundo, los artistas también tienen muy [...]

Género: Indie pop. Los cuatro chicos y chica de las tierras altas del Norte, que poco tienen de montaña ya que son de Brooklyn, están trabajando en su debut previsto para inicios del 2012, pero mientras tanto nos dan pistas mediante sus actuaciones, donde Steady Steady es bailada por el respetable. Refrescante, animada, con cuerdas que se pueden enrollar en tus sensores. Ay esa mandolina. Summer Camp - Down [Right click for download] {lang: 'es'}

North Highlands - Steady Steady
Take one look to current events and it's obvious that the dreams of many aren't exactly being realized. Created and inspired by the growing pains of a recession, North Highlands ' debut ventures through the bittersweet side of growing up. Wild One is meant to be an album of longing, a desire for moments and events that never seem to come. It's a dizzying head rush of emotions carefully backed with instrumental layers and airy melodies, all softened by the striking, smoky vocals of lead singer Brenda Malvini. Malvini's husky whisper is [...]
Click image to download full album Sounds like: Metric, Twin Sister, Feist "North Highlands - Hiking" What's so good? Brooklyn's North Highlands has released their album, Wild One , this past week, and I'm guessing that it's being received quite well. They've already gained critical praise from notable media outlets (including here on Indie Shuffle) and that was even before Wild One [...]
Brooklyn's North Highlands released their debut full-length this week. It's the sort of intricately homespun and delicate indie-pop I'd call "polite" in an unpatronizing, earnest, and positive way, though it is on a painful post-CMJ morning like this that it stops being polite and starts being soothing balm for a battered brain. Think Twin Sister with less Stereolab and a more gentle breeze, and stream all eleven of Wild One 's tracks below. "Lion Heart" and the previously posted " Benefits " are nice starting points, if you need some. [...]

Gauntlet Hair – Gauntlet Hair (Dead Oceans) Mais uma da série “estreias promissoras de 2011”. O Gauntlet Hair é uma dupla estadunidense (ao vivo vira um quarteto) que comete a improvável mistura de Durutti Column com rock garageiro e enormes referências aos anos 1980. Assim, o disco de estreia, homônimo, causa impacto à primeira audição e não necessariamente um impacto positivo a ouvidos acostumados ao que as pistas de dança do mundinho “indie” oferecem. Além do DC , há uma ligação quase doentia com um The Cure [...]
