![[Album Review/Listen] – Fruit Bats – "Tripper"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3630327_lg.jpg)
Tweet Buy the album from Amazon - Vinyl / MP3 / CD Fruit Bats' fifth LP, "Tripper", kicks off with an urgent acoustic guitar, strumming with a kind of determination akin to the beginning of a long road-trip, an escape. The addition of a driving bass drum and a spindling, dirty electric guitar reinforce this sentiment, with Eric Johnson's nasal voice echoing a youthful, anarchic chorus proclaiming that "well, the world might end [...]
Remember that stunningly beautiful album cover of Wild Honey's Epic Handshakes and a Bear Hug? (Lazy Recordings, 2009). Well, Guillermo Farré and Co. have accomplished somewhat of a rendition to that image in the band's very first music video "1918-1920," one of the album's most memorable pieces. This time the frame isn't as savage as that of a tiger devouring your head or a monkey jumping on your back. Instead, we're presented with a wonderfully witty adventure featuring an aged couple and their also elderly dog. The clip's opening image shows two birds dancing [...]

The Spanish indiepop band Mittens will finally release their debut album "Deer Park Mirage" on May 17. I've been enjoying the music of this band for some time now, and I'm really looking forward to this release. Those of you who downloaded and enjoyed Wild Honey 's free album "Epic Handshakes and a Bear hug" will definitely have something to look forward to. Guille from Wild Honey is one of the members and one of the songwriters in Mittens, and his music in WH is not too far [...]

finally the second compilation for the lemonjohn-blog is finished! it's always a great pleasure for me digging in the neverending creativity-garden to filter out 12 tracks from the past few months which i think you shouldn't have missed. i didn't search in order to get some tracks to survive a long party-weekend, but for a bunch of songs for the days when you can come to rest, and find some time to listen to music closely. artwork-design by elena anna rieser ...there's also the possibility to get one of the very [...]

EPIC HANDSHAKES AND A BEAR HUG, WILD HONEY Lazy Recordings, Spain Rating: 83 By Carlos Reyes If you're able to look away from such a beautiful artwork, let point out that this album has been standing around me for a while. The psychology behind it makes this album hard to analyze and harder to give a rating. [...]

A falta de pocas semanas para que acabe 2009, no tengo problema en destacar a Epic Handshakes and a Bear Hug , el primer álbum de Wild Honey (el nombre del grupo, título de un álbum de The Beach Boys, es toda una declaración de principios) como uno de los mejores discos del año. Guillermo Farré realiza un trabajo de pop delicado, elegante y cuidado al detalle. Grabado en su casa y mezclado en Nashville con Brad Jones (Josh Rouse, The Shazam), el disco está disponible en su web desde hace algunas semanas en formato [...]

Wild Honey Wild Honey - Whistling Rivalry Una piccola canzone che parla del ritrovare vecchie fotografie, del sentirsi coinvolti e commossi da quelle immagini, e al tempo stesso rassicurati da come tutto quello che rappresentano sia ormai passato e lontano. L'album di debutto di Wild Honey è in free download sulla sua pagina Bandcamp , ma si può anche comprare (cd+LP a 12 euro) sul suo sito . Wild Honey è il progetto [...]

I am not going to say much, but I just had to make a post about this today. WILD HONEY 's debut album is now available for free download on his Bandcamp-page , where you can also get his wonderful EP from last year, also this for free. I've had the chance to listen to this album for almost a week, and it has become a favourite of my whole family. Beautiful harmonies, excellent melodies and although my hopes were high after listening to his EP and the "Hal Blaine's Beat"-single, this is [...]

I realize that I post a lot of news and finds on my twitter @eardrums that never gets published on the blog. I'll try to post some of it here and also some of the stuff I get in my mailbox that I never manage to do something about. I'm hopeless with continuity, but I will at least try to do this weekly. Let's start with some "VERY SHORTIES" and below this, you will find a lot of free goodies: [...]
