To coincide with their new album, Little Mountain , Juno Award-winning outfit Said the Whale has created promotional videos for all 15 album tracks. The series kicked off last week with album opener "We Are 19803 . Below, watch the video for song number two, "Big Sky, MT". Says the band's Ben Worcester: "It's a song about my late-grandfather and the roles that love and nature played in his life. The producers of this video did a wonderful job interpreting the meaning of the song into a story about a girl exploring the hills [...]

In this edition: Grand Duchy returns, De La Soul's First Serve, and this week's videos! Grand Duchy to release "Let the People Speak" When Black Francis and his wife, Violet Clark , formed Grand Duchy , few would have guessed the resulting "debut" album would be among his best efforts outside the famed band, The Pixies . On "Petit Fours", Clark's love of synth pop and electronic music won out over Francis' tastes in punk [...]
by teepoo Here's a new one from Said the Whale ! Their new album is set to release March 6th and I can't wait!
In today's post, we have a 2nd track from the forthcoming Bowerbirds album The Clearing , which I have to say is getting me more and more excited; we have a new track off a new Woodpigeon EP For Paolo that is pretty damn awesome; we have a couple tracks that I like from bands I don't know much about, some that I know a little more about ( Said the Whale , Damien Jurado ), and we have the "slow version" of Superchunk 's absolutely brilliant 2009 B-side "Blinders", the [...]

The line-up for this years Sasquatch Festival came out on Thursday night and it is a pretty decent looking list.

This is just a small sampling so head over to The Official Site for more info about bands playing and how to get tickets. Enjoy! Free mp3: Active Child - Hanging [...]

The digests will consist of all of the songs that are legal, free downloads for the week. In addition, we will be putting up a monthly Dang!

I was at Said the Whale 's very first show almost five years ago, so it has been pretty exciting to follow the band's rise. Its latest single is a Tyler Bancroft-sung number that's one of the band's most straight-up rockers to date. Die-hards may remember that this is actually a rewritten version of a prior non-LP track , although this version is a little heavier on the guitars and lighter on the synth. This comes from the band's excellent forthcoming LP Little Mountain .

"Heavy Ceiling" lets you know quickly that this is no slow jaunt through the city; between the quick bass licks of the intro and the moment that upbeat guitar darts out of your speakers and starts shucking and jiving leading into the chorus it's hard to deny this track. "Heavy Ceiling" is the first track we've heard off their upcoming Little Mountain which will be released on March 6th via Hidden Pony Records . MP3: Said The Whale - Heavy Ceiling

This band should need no introduction after the two solid albums they've released in their career, but here we are on the eve of their third album and the general population is still unfamiliar with this wonderful band. First, when I say the eve of their upcoming album, I mean it's actually due out on March 6th. The album is called Little Mountain and this particular song is the first single. If the The Shins turned it up to 11 and focused their talents in the indie rock world, it might sound something like "Heavy Ceiling". [...]
