Hot Lava - The Auctioneer The Sad Cobras - Medusa Reducer DUDES. NEW HOT LAVA . GET PSYCHED. Who are The Sad Cobras ? I dunno. Friends with Hot Lava I guess. And they make good music. Appropriate for a split with Hot Lava. So that's cool. BUT 3 NEW [...]
Revisiting an artist we've featured in the past is always a treat, so it only stands to reason that our collective attention span might grow exponentially when two previously-mentioned bands are involved in a combined new release. We originally featured Richmond, Virginia based Hot Lava in January 2008 with a quick follow-up for their debut album Lavalogy in March 2008. Since that time, they've
It's not many 73 records which give you six songs of listening enjoyment, but this is what Hot Lava and the Sad Cobras have achieved on this split EP. Both have one epic song which just exceeds a Tolstoyian two-and-a-half minutes, but everything else is well under the two minute barrier - not a second wasted. In all honesty, I am not that taken with the Sad Cobras songs, so I will instead focus on Hot Lava, whose debut album Lavaology I really enjoyed. Basically, this has the same, slightly frantic charm as the album. Taskmaster [...]
Although the Eternal Summers duo was not together, Daniel was a madman on the tambourine and is accompanying Reading Rainbows on their current tour. After a six pack of Stella and a bag of freeze dried shrimp, my friends have since sent me their newest ep. Somewhat similar to their Philly BFFs, their tunes are dripping with pop psychedelia and good vibes. Now in the middle of recording a long player, plus another EP to be released in the UK by/with A Grave With No Name . As for now, head over to t heir [...]
La disquera Kindercore Records (famosa no sólo por haber editado el primer disco de Kings of Convenience sino por todo el drama que vivieron sus dueños cuando otra compañía les quitó el negocio ) está ofreciendo como cada año un álbum navideño a través de su sitio oficial. Este año los dueños de la disquera han compilado un EP llamado XMAS IV and Hanukkah! , el cual contiene 4 canciones de bandas como Grape Soda y The Sad Cobras y por supuesto es gratuito. [...]
Kindercore has been gracious enough this year to offer up this years volume of their annual Christmas EP titled "XMAS IV and… Hanukkah!" for free!!!!! This year's compilation includes tracks from groups Grape Soda (with members of The Buddy System and two songs about Hanukkah!) and The Young Sinclairs plus a song from Deidre of the Sad Cobras with the Magic Twig Family Band (members of The Young Sinclairs, SUNKING!, Sad Cobras and Boys Lie). Feel free to listen to the tracks from the compilation below. Also to show appreciation to the label for offering up some great tunes for [...]
Allison from Hot Lava recommended Virginia's The Sad Cobras to me and I am really digging "Body Cast" from their full-length, No More Graves . I love the minimalistic, Unicorns-esque synths and how the song has multiple parts with lead singer Deedraye varying up her vocal treatments, from nervy and awkward to light and pretty. It's a sweet suite of quirked-out 90's pop. Plus, "shake that Vertebrae" is the new "shake it like a Polaroid picture." No More Graves is available now via the band's MySpace page . [...]
So we've been away from the blog for a week of painful home buying negotiation and a mountain of related paperwork we certainly wouldn't wish upon anyone. The chase (no pun) to become true adults and happy homeowners is far from over but we needed to take a deep breath in returning to another submission of music we love... in other words, please be patient with us. Today's featured audio treats
Have a look at this beautiful Sad Cobras t-shirt. It was last scene being awesome in someone's dresser/drawer which is where it is right now being awesome as usual. It's about the most beautiful tee in the whole world and uses expensive laundry detergent and dryer sheets all the time. Whoever owns this shirt is more relevant than you are, for sure. Whoever owns this shirt just sold their turntables and bought guitars to make something real. First Hot Lava soaked us in grape baking soda and GI Joe anime, now VA's Sad Cobras [...]
