It's the coolest part of being involved with a music blog, and for people who love music as much as we do, it can truly make your day: The discovery. More specifically, the discovery of artists like Peter Kirk. Why Peter Kirk, you ask? Because his music makes me feel like I've hopped inside the [...]
Swim Deep - "The Sea" / "King City" Because: Grunge Pop isn't really a thing, but Swim Deep come close, and their songs make you feel just a little like Aquaman/Namor and a lot like a secret hipster. Houses - "The Beauty Surrounds" Because: I have no idea what those young folks are doing [...]
Anyone who's stuck with The Wounded Jukebox for a long time (thank you, by the way) is more than familiar with our affinity for young Texan Conner Youngblood. It's been a treat to hear Youngblood's sound grow and add interesting new twists, all the while remaining unmistakably his. His music is like the smoke billowing [...]
No commentary this week, as I've just downed a large dose of Nyquil, so I'm likely to throw some bad puns around if I go on for too long. Only to say that everything is lovely, most especially the video treatment on The Belle Game's "Wait Up For You." It's a lovely pair of song [...]
We are less than one month now from the release of Heza, the new full-length from NOLA natives Generationals. This newest single, "Put A Light On," seems to be a sort of combination between Matt & Kim and Phoenix, with its head-bobbing guitar jangle and simple vocal harmony turned up just a smidge too loud. [...]
It's hard to believe it's been about two years since The Cave Singers released No Witch. I was just listening to "Swim Club" the other day. But, I'm always happy when they come out with something new. Naomi is due out March 5th. It's sounding awesome and you can stream the whole album here. [Facebook] [Twitter] [Website] [...]
Norwich, England foursome Port Isla are back with a brand new single (their first being the wonderful "Sinking Ship"), this time following in the way of Mumford & Sons; dressing up a Pop song in a Folk manner, giving the new "Adventurers" a scenery with some trees and dirt, all on your way to your favorite [...]
There’s a new movement in Americana music with which I feel somewhat conflicted. I hesitate to use the word hipster, but for lack of a better word, there’s a hipster/country trend going on that is completely void of authenticity or vision. (It goes without saying that making music for the sake of “being cool” is [...]
Norway's Highasakite is all set to release their In And Out Of Weeks EP on March 5th (via Propeller Records). The band has a knack for sounding like moments when you try to remember a dream the morning after, but they use some amazing Pop rhythms and percussive frameworks to do it; making something innately complex seem [...]
We brought you the first single from Ruby Taylor, aka Yumi And The Weather, awhile back. Well Taylor is now bestowing a new song and video on us all, and it's an awfully strong effort. It's debatable what the bag of sand means to the clearly-troubled, beard-ridden man. Guilt from a chance encounter gone horribly [...]
Before I saw her live, I had fallen for Tristen's 2011 album Charlatans at the Garden Gate for its earnest storytelling and melodic twang that showed the 29-year old Nashville transplant had strong songwriting chops. But when I witnessed her singing in person - heard her thoroughly impressive voice emerge from her tiny frame as [...]
Well, that didn’t take long at all, 2013. Thanks for delivering the first album of the year to instantly burrow its way into my mind and accomplish what all of my favorite albums do on the first listen: challenge me and make me feel as though I’ve always had this album in my collection. I didn’t know [...]
Mychal Cohen - "Sentimental Guy" Because: Campfire OK's lead singer is certainly allowed to go off and sing and skate underneath neon lights whenever he chooses. But all we have is this video (and this song "Good For It All"), and now I wants me some more. Young Dreams - "First Days of Something" [...]
Human eyeballs are attracted to disaster. Whether it's rubberneckers on the road, or Reality TV, we all want to know; What's happening to them? Maybe the same is true of music videos that lean heavily toward the "odd" column. Personally, if it's downright frightening, I don't include it on Moving Pictures. Sometimes though, [...]
And now for an excellently buffed Pop song from Providence, RI group Magic Man. Complete with high tension electronic warbles, synthetic fuzz bass drums, and a bouncing chorus about missed opportunities with past loves (complete with a speakeasy piano intro), the song named after the romantic capital of the world (or a gal) will best serve [...]
Not that I needed further evidence Haim have created an awesome sound that hearkens back to the 19802s, but the three-pack of sisters from Los Angeles have supplied it with "Falling," their newest single, and the accompanying video, which is some strange amalgam of Flashdance and Wet Hot American Summer. The ladies do their best [...]
I'll be honest. I don't watch that many music videos. I mean, sure, I probably watch more than the average human being by virtue of what we do here at The Wounded Jukebox. But compared to visual afficionados like Matt, with their weekly collections of the most stimulating and inventive entries into the world of [...]
Pick a Piper -- "All Her Colours" (ft. John Schmersal) Because: Pick a Piper is a solo/side project by Caribou's drummer Brad Weber, and it has all the percussive wizardry you would expect, plus a falsetto-gilded guest spot by Caribou singer John Schmersal. The Postal Service -- "A Tattered Line Of String" Because: It's the [...]
Seven videos. Enough for you to contemplate one each day of the week. But mostly, it's all ear and eye candy this edition, featuring nostalgia, musical fruit (sans the toot toot), and whatever heavenly camera techniques are used by Clubfeet on the "Everything You Wanted" clip. Goodness gracious it's hard to look away from that [...]
News of a new album from French pop savants Phoenix has trickled out bit by bit in recent months, and yesterday marked the release of the first single from the band's forthcoming LP Bankrupt!, entitled "Entertainment." It features the same awesome, janglin' guitars that populated my favorite album of 2009, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, and it [...]
