The Family Crest & The Lighthouse and The Whaler @ SXSW

Vivid LIVE 2012
The Family Crest and The Lighthouse and the Whaler were fans of one another, but hadn't met until SXSW 2012. After seeing each other perform, they decided to collaborate on a mash-up. Filmed in one-take at a Howard Johnson hotel in Austin, TX, here's what happens when you combine "Falling Off the Wagon" by The Family Crest and "The Adriatic" from The Lighthouse and the Whaler's forthcoming album. ...... ...

HEAR THIS: The Lighthouse and The Whaler

Dripping in emotional energy while still maintaining the joyous feeling that is indie pop, it's impossible for us to comprehend that this band is still unsigned.

New Singles Round Up

Family Machine - Quiet As A Mouse
Here are a few of the new singles that have come our way recently that are well worth a listen. The Diamond Center are purveyors of very fine lush, shimmering neo-psychedelia. A new 73, California / Bells will be out on the 13th March and you can listen to the woozy, pulsating goodness of the title track here. Next up, and while a touch more raucous, Bear Driver are in a somewhat similar vein with their brilliant new single Big Love , which is a [...]

The Lighthouse And The Whaler - Mercury Lounge (New York, NY; Feb 6, 2012)

The Lighthouse And The Whaler - Mercury Lounge (New York, NY; Feb 6, 2012) You could be forgiven for mistaking The Lighthouse And The Whaler for another whale-related indie pop outfit. For a while, it seemed like Freelance Whales had cornered the market on warm melodies, glockenspiel, and precious pop songs. And at first blush, especially on standout track "Pioneers," the Cleveland-based Lighthouse (I know) sounds a whole lot like that Brooklyn band. On Monday night at Mercury Lounge, after a warm-up from BK natives Ravens & Chimes, The Lighthouse And The Whaler kicked off with that "Pioneers," and immediately showed that the comparison stops at the name. Freelance [...]

Live Video: The Lighthouse and the Whaler

Live Video: The Lighthouse and the Whaler It's fitting that Cleveland band The Lighthouse and the Whaler recorded their forthcoming album at Bear Creek Studios near Seattle, as their 2009 self-titled debut drew many favorable comparisons to successful folk pop bands from the Northwest, like Blind Pilot and Fleet Foxes. 20122s This is an Adventure is sure to build upon their bright and poppy folk tunes by adding more layers and more sophisticated instrumentation. In anticipation of this new album, we're presenting videos from their in-studio session from this past Spring, which includes a song to appear on their new record. Check it [...]

Tinkling. No, it's not what you're...

Tinkling. No, it's not what you're thinking. That's how "Pioneers", the title track off of The Lighthouse and the Whaler's upcoming EP begins…with a beautiful tinkling quickly laced and injected with electronic sounds that put me in sunny day territory with a floppy hat and a beach ball. The track is tightly crafted - it feels like it's own joyride through rolling hills of green and skies of blue; always driving, building into something memorable. I can see the commercial licensing dudes scrambling to secure the rights as we speak. Connect: Facebook [...]

"Pioneers" by The Lighthouse and The Whaler

"Pioneers" by The Lighthouse and The Whaler Bears aren't the only Cleveland band spreading the sound of sunshine pop this winter. The Lighthouse and the Whaler offer similarly bright sounds on "Pioneers." There's bells and brilliantly colored guitars and warm, shimmery keyboards. It would be pop-perfect for an automobile advert featuring carefree thirty-somethings doing those things carefree thirty-somethings do as they showcase their affordable, environmentally sensible, yet stylish new car. This isn't a dig. Rather, "Pioneers," is the type of track that could boost both the band's profile and their bank accounts. MP3: The Lighthouse and the Whaler - Pioneers [...]

Pop Montreal 2011 – The Lighthouse and the Whaler @ Quai des Brumes

Pop Montreal 2011 – The Lighthouse and the Whaler @ Quai des Brumes The first show that I went at Pop Montreal 2011 on Saturday. I decided to go to Quai des Brumes to check out this band from Cleveland, Ohio called The Lighthouse and the Whaler . I was curious about this band since this was the first time to check them out.

The Lighthouse and The Whaler [Album Review]

The Lighthouse and The Whaler [Album Review] The Lighthouse and The Whaler might be the best thing to come out of Cleveland since Major League. SafariMan, our resident Cleveland expert, had a great comment right after we first received the album: "These guys just went Blind Pilot on me." In their initial email to us, they said they were often compared to Fleet Foxes. I think I forwarded it to Oz and joked that I am often compared to Brad Pitt. I'll admit that while I liked the album at first, I didn't really hear the comparison on the first few spins. And then I [...]

"Under Mountain, Under Ground" by Lighthouse and The Whaler

It should come as no surprise that Cleveland's The Lighthouse and The Whaler have garnered significant airplay on Seattle's influential, free-form radio station, KEXP . You can't walk half-a-block in the Northwest without running into a coffee shop and a beardo in that coffee shop who plays in a folk band. And, The Lighthouse and The Whaler sure have the easy, folksy groove down pat. More than that, however, when you check the rustic, plucked strings and the cleanly played piano on their single, "Under Mountain, Under Ground," it quickly becomes apparent that their airplay may [...]
