Jason Brewer, singer and main song writer of The Explorer's Club , is gearing up to tour in support of their second full length, Grand Hotel , that comes out on Ridge Rock Music on February 14th. He took time out of his busy schedule to talk food in the south with us including some places they may be stopping on their next journey. Explorer's Club is based in Charleston, SC and has been, if I'm not mistaken, for their entire existence. Have you always [...]

A Place To Bury Strangers Onwards To The Wall [EP] Dead Oceans [2012] Fire Note Says: Another stellar listen from Brooklyn's A Place To Bury Strangers! Album Review: Brooklyn's A Place To Bury Strangers roars back onto the music scene with their new EP, Onwards To The Wall . The 5 song set features the louder "industrial" backbone you have come to expect from the group [...]
So we typically toss a video onto a post when highlighting a new band or a show preview or something and let you draw your own conclusion about it. Sometimes we throw a change-up... strike that - let's call it a round up. Most of these videos are of bands we have previously talked about here on Draw Us Lines, so we won't be telling you much about those bands themselves, just some musings that really aren't worth a damn. If a picture is worth 1000 words, then a video must be worth a million. Hold on to your hats! [...]
Earlier today another wonderful new Bowerbirds track began to circulate around the Internet. I might be late, but my adoration for the band never wanes, so I've got to toss out support for their excellent The Clearing ; the album hits stored on March 6th via Dead Oceans . Beth Tacular takes the lead on this track, but she's not alone for long, as the song drifts in and out with multiple vocal accompaniments. If this track isn't stoking the flames of your musical fire, [...]
I remember blogging about this track when it first dropped, but now we've got a new music video paired with it. Plus, I wanna remind you A Place To Bury Strangers has a new EP, Onwards To the Wall , dropping in February on Dead Oceans! Were these pictures taken in instagram ?
Earlier this morning on Twitter, I referred to "The Reflection of You", the brand new...
Bear In Heaven have released the new single "The Reflection of You" and the cover art for their new album I Love You, It's Cool out April 3rd via Dead Oceans and Hometapes. You can actually hear the full album now streaming on their website. The catch is that the album has been slowed down 400,000% and has been playing nonstop since December. The full stream will be over upon the album's release date. Crazy gimmicks, gotta love indie music. Grab the new synth-heavy track below. Read more »
One of the records I'm eagerly anticipating this year is A Place To Bury Strangers ' Dead Oceans debut, Onwards to the Wall , coming February 7. Oliver Ackerman utilized the Hipstamatic "1969 Ina" filter with loads of tour footage in this clip for the EP's absolutely fucking stellar jam, "So Far Away". If I was on ABC's The Bachelor my first rose ceremony would involve all of the ladies' reactions to this song. I can't think of a better way to weed-out the really [...]
Tweet Listen to and download the new Gauntlet Hair track "My Christ" , from their album "Gauntlet Hair" . It's been almost two years since we were smitten by Gauntlet Hair 's all-encompassing chest-thumping sound, and now they're releasing the third single from their debut self-titled album. Previously we've heard, and seen, tracks "Top Bunk" (one of my [...]

I Lost You 2. So Far Away 3. Onwards To The Wall 4. Nothing Will Surprise Me 5. Drill It Up
This Music Wins Albums Of 2011 #1 // 40 - 31 continued from part #1 #40 Girls - Father, Son, Holy Ghost (True Panther Sounds) Arguably Girls ' most courageous attempt yet, here the San Francisco surf rock band venture in to the realm of classic rock, not stopping short of cheesy licks, walking bass-lines or even gospel choirs. The soulful backing singers and hammond organs characterise most of 'Vomit', a song which strikes at [...]
[mp3] Bowerbirds: "Tuck the Darkness In" The internet is a fickle place, and one of the biggest problems we have with blogs, is their extremely short memory and, at times, lack of faith in the long term careers of artists. Now - of course - this is a two way street. We'll care about bands that make second and third albums worth caring about. That rule is paramount. While we're no saints here when it comes to blogging - we think a band worth standing by for the long run is Bowerbirds . [...]
Esordio su Dead Oceans per il duo di Chicago formato da Andy R e Craig Nice , sodali e impegnati a comporre musica dall'età di 15 anni. L'album omonimo dei Gauntlet Hair fatica un pochino ad entrare nelle grazie dell'ascoltatore di turno, giacché l'avant pop orchestrato dai due non possiede sicuramente il dono dell'immediatezza, ma poco male: una volta preso confidenza con il sound, le 9 tracce che compongono il lavoro vi si riveleranno senza indugio alcuno. Che sempre di pop si tratta, ma è così carico di riverberi, di effettistica lo-fi e [...]
Blackout Beach is Frog Eyes frontman Carey Mercer's solo project, and its third album, Fuck Death, shares many characteristics with the work of his full band. There are the requisite unintelligible lyrics and obscure cultural references, nods to Agamemnon and "Chinese soldier poems." There is the deliberate and sometimes frustrating obliqueness. The songs are [...]
Je ne prétends pas répondre à mes propres attentes avec cette chronique, mais il me semble que rien de satisfaisant n'a été écrit sur Dracula , troisième et définitivement meilleur album de Nurses . C''est que l'album du trio de Portland séduit, étonne et suscite une sorte de consensus sensoriel mais, même après plusieurs écoutes, ne donne pas beaucoup de clés logiques de compréhension. Objet bizarre, on lui reconnaît une unité logique enthousiasmante mais on ne saisit pas très bien comment il fonctionne. Depuis la naissance du téléchargement et de la lecture aléatoire, ça devient de plus [...]
North Carolina's Bowerbirds will be gracing us with a new album of their stripped down folk on March 6th. The Clearing ( Dead Oceans ) features eleven new tracks, some of which were recorded in Bon Iver's Wisconsin studio. Stream/download the album's surging and harmonious opening track "Tuck The Darkness In" below.
After the release of Upper Air , I am pretty sure that anyone who has had a listening experience with Bowerbirds has fallen totally in love with the group. They create sweeping folk songs, carefully crafted and destined to delight listeners. You might have to wait until March 6th to hear the Clearing , the group's new record for Dead Oceans , but you can preview a track from the album right now. It's a really incredible track with [...]
Blackout Beach Fuck Death Dead Oceans Records [2011] Fire Note Says: Blackout Beach does not disappoint on third LP as Carey Mercer once again will challenge your brain. Album Review: I don't think there is any argument that Carey Mercer (Frog Eyes, Swan Lake) has released some complex records and on his third long player, under his Blackout Beach moniker, you may add Fuck Death [...]
