The fine folks at Daytrotter welcomed in Portland's Parson Red Heads this week for a wonderfully warm and harmonious set of songs. Led by the demure vocals of songwriter Evan Way, the group's sonorous approach marries perfectly with Daytrotter's intimate recording process. All four songs on the session come from the softly radiant folk rock of the band's most recent album, Yearling , their most resonant work yet; and below we've got the session's lead track, "Seven Years Ago." Check it out and then click it here to get the rest. The only [...]

A few years back we reviewed King Giraffe by The Parson Red Heads. For some reason we missed the boat in reviewing their excellent 2011 effort, Yearling. Thankfully others picked up our slack as they are now starting to gain some traction out there. Since we last left them, they have left Southern Cal for Portland. Yearling sees them blending another wonderful album full of psych-pop and folk. The album is chock full of beautiful three and four piece harmonies that put you in a better place. They are going to be doing some West [...]

Ah, first dates. They're often awkward, tedious evenings—a well-mannered exercise in bestowing a cool and lasting impression on a potential suitor. But they're often quite revealing. For instance, how often have you found yourself thumbing through a new friend's record collection to divine who they are via their taste in music? Even the most cursury glance reveals far more than a polite conversation masked as a dinner date. Such is the crux of our weekly First Date feature where the bands spill it themselves, all first-person [...]
