North College Hill from The Minor Leagues released via Datawaslost North College Hill is the new album from The Minor Leagues , the latest in a string of releases from the Cincinnati seven-piece to pair stinging melancholy with insidiously catchy melodies. The Minor Leagues' last two records covered the end of a relationship and the end of the world in overblown concept-album fashion, and this new album continues the streak with ten songs of bittersweet rust-pop about North College Hill, lead singer Ben [...]

Some time ago, about two years three months to be precise we posted about The Minor Leagues . A lot has happened since that post eons ago. This is what we said then… Ben Walpole wishes he were British, fronting Pulp in 1995. Patrick Helmes wishes he were playing lead for Megadeth in 1988. But cruel fate has instead placed them both in the Minor Leagues, playing insidiously catchy indiepop for most of the last decade from their Cincinnati, Ohio homebase. Since that time the band has been busy but has apparently [...]

The Minor Leagues' last two albums dealt with concepts like the end of a relationship and the end of the world. Have they cheered up for their latest effort? On the evidence of this track, Secret Codes – no, they haven't. But that doesn't matter. As long as they pump out new music of this quality they can feel however the fuck they please. The song is taken from the album North College Hill , which is out on January 31. Have a listen to the track here: Secret Codes
As written a few days ago ; no New Year's resolutions, but it's my intention that I will try to check out more of the stuff arriving in the mailbox this year than I managed to last year.

Some great music (at least I hope you think so as well) and next to no writing... + The Minor Leagues - Ghost Maps [...]
Va un chaval a una farmacia: - Oiga, me puede vender un preservativo, porque esta noche voy a cenar con la familia de la chica con la que salgo desde hace tres meses y después, a ver si cae. Bueno me va a poner dos, porque esta chica tiene una hermana que no esta nada mal, e igual cae también. Bueno mejor me va usted a dar tres porque la madre es una cachonda que pone los cuernos a su marido y ya metidos en harina... LLega la hora de la cena y aquí tenemos al [...]
The Minor Leagues are a seven-piece indiepop band from Cincinnati, and their new single "Ghost Maps" is now available as a free download from the band's website. The songs are incredibly catchy!

The new album is due out in October, once again from the good folks at Datawaslost Records and sees the local popsters pushing more quality music, but this time with an especially local bent.

„Ach, das ist aber mal ein schöner Song!" So oder so ähnlich hätte ich wohl ausgerufen, wenn ich etwas ausgerufen hätte, als ich «Ghost maps» , die neue Single der amerikanischen Band The Minor Leagues zum ersten Mal hörte. Wunderbarer Indiepop, schmachtend-sanfter Gesang, ein Cure-light-Bass, alles leicht melancholisch, alles toll. Ihr merkt, ich bin begeistert (und froh, dass ich mal wieder eine Promomail geöffnet habe). Hatte ich schon erwähnt, dass es dieses und ein weiteres Lied zudem als kostenfreien Download gibt? Gibt es. Link zur [...]
( Editor's Note: I submitted my dissertation proposal on Sunday. I defend it on Tuesday. I have not checked my internet-based music blog electronic mail for something like a week; I've been deep in the EBP literature, tweaking and polishing the proposal. Spiked in a fancy rhetorical twist courtesy of Steve Forness at the twelfth hour. Oh yeah. I dipped a toe back into music today and a couple of solid cuts stuck. You get those and a celebratory remix. Oh yeah, ) The skinny on The Minor Leagues: [...]
