Paul Brill is, in simple terms, a Renaissance man. With stints as a musician, songwriter, composer, herbal smokes salesman, valet, and marine biology instructor, well-rounded is an understatement. But the bulk of Brill's background is in composition and soundtracking. He has scored multiple award-winning film and television programs, ( Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work, Freakonomics ) many of which have been nominated for Emmys. That's why it's so surprising that, in contrast with his serene, more minimal and desolate film compositions, Brill's original songs on Breezy are largely light-hearted, barely-experimental, upbeat pop songs. Think [...]
Now that we're coming up on the end of the first month of 2012, the number of new releases from indie and alternative rock artists and bands are starting to stack up. Last week, we featured new releases from a bunch of DIY bands - most of who sent us fresh, legal tracks from just [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
Aaaaand... we're back. After a slow start to the year, this week provides a relative bounty of new releases, including the latest from London-based group The Duke Spirit , who, according to our Music Director, Don Yates, "add a bit more studio polish and musical sophistication to their bluesy psych-rock sound on their third album, a solidly crafted set ranging from tension-filled rockers to atmospheric ballads." Fellow Brits The Big Pink also drop a new album, their second, and if their super-catchy single "Stay Gold" is any indication, it's going to be full of hooky, fuzzy dance-pop [...]
To celebrate today's crop of releases, here are new mp3s from Paul Brill, Dare Dukes, Herman Dune, Guided By Voices, Liftoff, Walter Rose and Seeker Lover Keeper. Also, vote for your favorite of today's new releases.
Paul Brill will release his follow up to the electronic-heavy Harpooner on Jan. 17. with "Breezy", which will be released on Scarlet Shame records. Read more »
Pop music, like so many cans of Pringles, can never seem to stop. Paul Brill's new single, "The Royal Oui," is wonderfully reminiscent of some of the better aspects of pop/rock; it opens with a gripping hook and races through its run time at breakneck speeds. Brill sings with the nasal quality and velocity of [...]
Turnpike Glow is a Italian rock outfit currently residing in the UK who are prepping for a release in 2012. They self-exiled themselves to work on their music. If you dig that space-rock stylings of Phoenix this should be right your alley. The Turn The Pike And The Glow MP3 Sunny Guy MP3 by Paul Brill from Breezy as follow-up to Harpooner (2006).This guy has been a studio guy for some time working with much rock royalty. A modern [...]
The official start of Fall in the United States and Canada is September 23. So if you've got a few things left to accomplish on your Summer To-Do List, take heart - you've got just more than a week left. The following collection of songs admittedly has little rhyme or reason, other than they are [...]

El disco saldrá a la venta este otoño y se avanza con un tema de lo más veraniego, Sunny Guy . Mp3: Paul Brill. Sunny Guy
Enjoy the sights and sounds of Paul Brill's first new song in 5 years called "Sunny Guy", which couldn't get much happier when it's already named so bright and cheery. The song comes from his upcoming album Breezy , which you should be hearing more details about in the next few weeks, so keep your eyes peeled for that. IS IT FRIDAY YET!?!?!?!?
Filed under: Video of the Day Artist: Paul Brill Video: 'Sunny Guy' Highlight: "I fell in love with Beck Underwood's' work through Elizabeth Ziman ( Elizabeth and the Catapult ) and the video they did together ('Perfectly Perfect'), which is brilliant and beautiful," Paul Brill tells Spinner. "Turned out that Beck's husband, Larry Fessenden, was someone I knew from the film-scoring world -- he's a wonderful director, editor, actor, etc. So we took our carnival up to their place in upstate New [...]

It's been only a few short weeks since I've discovered the charming and whimsical music of The Paper Raincoat , an inventive duo consisting of Brooklyn artists Amber Rubarth and Alex Wong . Moments after their myspace page loaded in my browser, the catchy song "Sympathetic Vibrations" started filling my room with a unique sense of hope and curiosity. I found myself intrigued in a way that I haven't experience in a long time. It's really quite wonderful to discover a promising new act only to find that [...]
Here's an old mix that I made for a friend. It started out as an introduction to Alt Country, but turned into more of a mood mix than anything. It's still one of my favorite mixes that I've made. It's got some pretty sad bastard material on it, but I don't think of it as depressing [disclaimer: I have a huge appreciation for sad bastard music]. I think of it as a somewhat introspective Sunday afternoon listen. Hope you enjoy it. Let me know what you think. Jay Farrar - "Hanging on [...]
I woke up around 4 a.m. and couldn't fall back to sleep until about 20 minutes before I had to get up. That doesn't usually happen to me. I almost got up at 4 and came down to write something for today because, as you see, I didn't have anything prepared, but I was too lazy. I was in that place between being awake enough to be distressed about it but not awake enough to move. Milosh -- "Couldn't Sleep" mp3 off Meme ( [...]
This will probably not be a big hit: I am very, very, very sick of summer though. I've always been a fan of the cooler seasons, first of all I would take a nice autumn or winter day over a day at the beach any time, I think coming out to the car and suffocating in the smoldering ninety-two degree heat is one of the least enjoyable things ever imaginable. Here is a mix for those of us who enjoy grey more than blue, autumn leaves to green grass, Christmas to the fourth of July, and [...]
Well, June's almost over, which is crazy, but I have a handful of CD's I received this month that I really enjoyed. Some you've heard plenty about, some I've yet to even touch on. The latter is what this post is for. So without further adou, here's my favorite tunes I listened to in June. Once Soundtrack My favorite movie of the year, and by far favorite soundtrack of the year. Shoe in for the top 25 of the year, but it'll be tricky deciding where to put it since most songs are [...]
