Although it's not as immediately catchy as its predecssor, Little Tybee's third LP is a richer, riskier, and more satisfying effort.

Atlanta's Little Tybee have an accessible, infectious sound all their own, but it's forged through smart, subtle experimentation. Mixing the charm of indie pop, the comforting feel of folk, and the technical prowess and forward thinking of jazz, this band moves gracefully from enveloping, adventurous instrumentals to pop ingenuity. To give you a frame of reference, imagine a cross between Fleet Foxes, Local Natives, and Annuals. The band just released their sophomore album, For Distant Viewing , yesterday via Paper Garden Records. Hear the title track and one of my favorite tracks from the album below. [...]
This Atlanta five-piece’s third album is an excellent road trip through America’s musical south. Live stream sample it here...

Born from the ashes of The Brock Scott Quartet, Little Tybee has been making orchestral folk/pop records since 20092s self-released Building A Bomb .

Beautiful, inspiring, humbling. The new video from Little Tybee , set to the title track of their forthcoming album, is a stunning marriage of images and sound that will leave you yearning to leave behind the easy comforts of home for the adventure and mystery of the open highway. Filmed and edited by frontman Brock Scott, the production is essentially a love poem dedicated to life on the road, a gorgeously orchestrated sequence of endlessly shifting shots and slow pans that show the band traveling from one spectacular locale to another—from the redwood forests to the Gulf Stream waters [...]

Now come with me if you will on a journey into the strange world of Biscuithead & the Biscuit Badgers . Their latest single ' Dinosaurs ' sees these cheeky chaps go prehistoric! If dinosaurs ruled the earth again then surely Biscuithead would support them on their first tour, so long as Tyrannosaurus rex gets the prawn sandwiches he likes. We all like a joke but seriously, this Leeds based quartet is known for their theatrical performances and tackling very serious issues such as cheese, facial hair and what [...]

One of the better albums of the 2000's was Eagle Seagull's self-titled 2005 release. After the band's breakup in 2010, primary songwriter, Omaha's Eli Mardock , started working on his own solo matierial that manifested itself in the NE Sorrow is Born EP, released earlier this year. The EP is more of a teaser to his debut solo LP Everything Happens for the First Time slated for release in the spring of 2013. One of EP highlights is the emotionally [...]

"Cine Privê" translates literally to "Private Cinema", a reference to Domenico Lancellotti's early aspirations of becoming a visual artist. The Brazilian musician's first love was drawing, and a love for film arose naturally from there. Several resounding film scores struck Domenico, who became fascinated with the compatibility between visuals and music, and to a fairly specific extent. "I like music that was conceived to support a certain image or scene. In these cases, the music interacts directly with the nervous system," he says. "When I’m going to record an album, I look for a photo that’s in line with the image [in my [...]

I have to admit this isn't a combination I expected to enjoy. But, one should never judge as School of Seven Bells ' contribution to Civil Twilight 's remix EP turns out to be pretty fantastic. Stream below:

Watch Civil Twilight / Ra Ra Riot's "River" Remix Video on YouTube Though Civil Twilight has quite a bit to brag about, including having been on tour with MUTEMATH over the past couple months and recently exceeding the 100k Facebook fan mark, this may still be a first introduction for many of you. Originally from Cape Town, South Africa, the band is now based in Nashville after having recorded in various locations between London, NYC and New Jersey. Back in March, Civil Twilight released its sophomore [...]
