perfectmidnightworld : "The Fall" by Frankie Rose // Interstellar (2012) It's far too early in the year to tell anything of note, but if i had to choose the one album that's received more plays from me than any other, it's without a doubt, Interstellar by Frankie Rose . I've already done my fair share of hyping this wonderful new release, but I figured one more track on a slow day wouldn't hurt anyone. "The Fall" is the closing note of [...]

London pop rock outfit Veronica Falls drops its first single since the release of its 2011 album, Veronica Falls . It was one of my favorite LPs last year, and was so due to its infectious hooks, close vocal harmonies, and moody fall-appropriate atmosphere. This new track, "My Heart Beats," is noticeably more sunny. In fact, I'd say the mood of this track and those on the self-titled are almost night and day. The rhythm has a lot more drive to it, the melodies are much more upbeat, the vocals don't carry any [...]

Spectrals - Get A Grip from Slumberland Records on Vimeo . For someone managing to have distinctive vocals reminiscent of a throaty Housemartins-era Paul Heaton, along with a soupçon of a smooth-sounding Ritchie Valens; Spectrals main-man Louis Jones keeps it casual and real on his Slumberland/Wichita debut, "Bad Penny". Jones' particular recording style (via producer Richard Formby) and the layered harmonies that are let loose through the shiny-jangle of his guitar playing, bring a genuine warmth and sweetness to the album, lending a unique depth to all of the songs [...]

San Francisco's, Terry Malts are all set up for the release of their debut album Killing Time , which is set for February 21st, via Slumberland Records . Their sound is a power-pop meets chainsaw-punk, which has given them the title as most talked about band out of San Fran in ages. The album is 14 songs deep and runs at a total of 34 minutes in length, as the songs jump out at you quick and don't slow down. After a careful, week long consideration, the trio decided to go forth on Slumberland's request [...]

A funny little song from the forthcoming Neverever EP, Shake-A-Baby . The title: "Mexicoco." It's the kind of song that would have been a surf pop hit in the 60s if it had a better recording going for it. I can see leagues of teenage girls chewing gum and gossiping about guys on the phone while this song spins on a 45 through a nearby record player. While it's kinda kitschy, Neverever seems more than aware of that, and that makes the total package a little tongue-in-cheek. So just catch a wave and bop your head to [...]

Weekend Red EP Slumberland Records [2011] Fire Note Says: A possible preview of what's to come. Album Review: The Red EP is a nice teaser for what 2012 brings our way from lo-fi rockers Weekend. Opening track "Sweet Sixteen" shows off some of Weekend's hazy talents as the track is very slow moving and uses frontman Shaun Durkan's voice to [...]

Sophomore slumps need not apply here. "Interstellar" is the second album from Frankie Rose scheduled to be released next month via Slumberland records and the release stands as one of the more eager ones in this early year. The resonance of Rose's vocals drenched in a panoramic 802s euphoria creates a scenario where we find out if Echo and the Bunnymen would've been led by a female vocalist. Frankie Rose-Know Me [mp3]

ALBUMS OF 2011 #45 - #41 #45 Crystal Stilts - In Love With Oblivion - Shake The Shackles ( MP3 ) Brooklyn garage rock at its finest; 'In Love With Oblivion' comprises of crisp and courageous, and occasionally gallant post-punk from apparent veterans of the scene Crystal Stilts . The 2011 Slumberland release is afflicted with the dark and incommutable vocals, strange key changes and strikingly full melody. An instant classic of the era it evokes, summed up thematically in the black and white colouration of above album cover. [...]

I always miss California this time of the year. The gray has settled in for the winter up here in Seattle and sun, sand and sea are distant memories you store in the back of your mind like Frederick the mouse to brighten those cold, grey days. The Sea Lions who come from Oxnard, California know a thing or two about the sun, sand and sea geographically speaking at least and their new album is a kaleidoscope of color to sustain you through the winter. The Sea Lions were one of the core bands [...]

Manatee reminds me that sometimes the cyclical nature of the world doesn't just bring hardened pieces of poo back to the surface. That sometimes in our cannibalistic musical society a band emerges that actually takes the influences of the past and does something absolutely awesome with it. Manatee makes me think of the punk rock [...]
