A couple artists I'm posting on 'cause I'm grateful for the submissions. SOUTHERLY-Youth First, Southerly, possibly one of the best-named bands I've heard in a while. They sound...Southerly. On Greyday Records which, like the band's name, is a perfect label for them. They sound like a grey, southerly day. Dark, Americana indie rock. Love the album cover, too. Good stuff. Suffer All Abandoned Do We Believe YASH KAPOOR-Saight [...]

![[MP3] Southerly: "Do We Believe?"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3714808_lg.jpg)
Southerly , aka singer/songwriter Krist Krueger is about ready to drop his third full-length, Youth , on September 20 via Greyday Records . In anticipation of the release, Krueger, from Portland, Oregon, has released a new mp3, titled "Do We Believe?". A strong piano line leads the way as Kreuger builds the song up with surging horns and a full-fledged chorus. The orchestral end of "Do We Believe?" makes me believe, that's for sure. ...Now that I got that out of my system: Southerly - "Do We Believe?" [MP3] [...]
Here's a new song called "Without A Cause" from Portland, OR based band Southerly . Those unfamiliar with the group should know that it's basically a straight up side project from Portland based songwriter Krist Krueger. This track will appear on a new upcoming album from the band Youth due out September 20th on Greyday Records . It's got a great driving rock sound. Download: Southerly - Without A Cause [MP3]

Some artists seem to prefer a sound that is constant, well structured, and predictable in the kindest sense. Krist Krueger, a.k.a. Southerly , is not one of these artists. But this is not to say that he is a frantic-minded artist hell bend on chaos, for he is actually quite the opposite. Krueger simply denies the crutch of conformity by offering up a hundred different tastes and feels of indie pop that he can squeeze into one album. And this is exactly what you will hear on his third release as [...]

Here is an artist who is truly "on the radar" and approaching fast. Southerly is the moniker of Krist Krueger from Portland. Krueger will release his third LP, Youth , September 20 on Greyday Records . Krueger shows a lot of confidence in his new material by offering a song a week from Youth until its release. What's available is nothing short of fantastic. Often dark, Krueger's compositions rely heavily on adept multi-tracking of samples, instruments, and vocals. Krueger does not settle on a sound, rather each track becomes an exploration. From the [...]

Memorial Day is meant to be the holiday in which we do without the grand gestures associated with other holidays, like stuffing our faces, decorating our homes and yards with over-sized representations of capitalist deities like Santa Claus, and exchanging gifts we neither need or want (unless it's a Nintendo 3Ds). But when it comes right down to it, Memorial Day is just another excuse to have a day off in the early dawning of summer and to sleep in and, once more, fill our faces with the dead, burned flesh of animals. If you are the type, however, to [...]
