London's James Mathé released "The Load" at the beginning of April with his moniker Barbarossa . This solo project thrives off of simplicity, using Mathé's vocals to break the ambient backdrop of piano and drum machine claps. Even better, the track is ... Read More
Por lo regular cada semana les vengo a dejar 'La Canción de la Semana', pero en esta ocasión la verdad no sabía que venir a dejarles por acá, así que simplemente decidí seleccionar las 6 mejores canciones que fueron apareciendo a lo largo de estos 5 días -suuper original- y que definitivamente no se deben de perder por nada del mundo, aunque se encuentren en medio de un sismo en lo alto de un edificio, o en un flamazo. Mi favorita personal, y por mucho, sin duda es "Tell Me" al mando de Soft Metals , ya que no [...]
I discovered this Josef Salvat guy three days ago, browsing the excellent blog over at Hand Clap Movement . I receive great music, but so does everyone of us. None of us really receive the same thing, so it's kind of like being one of those penny pinching coupon cutting mom's you all probably know. You gotta hit more than one store to get the good stuff. Same thing with blogs - you gotta look around and see what's out there. I just need to tell my story, if you're drunk I'll get done quicker [...]
Hay días en los que simplemente no me apetece nutrirme de sonidos nuevos como el día de hoy, lo cual es algo lamentable ya que por lo regular esto suele levantarme el ánimo sin ningún problema. Pero hoy no, hoy es diferente. Hoy me encuentro ante un dilema existencial que consiste en luchar por ciertos objetivos, o simplemente estar expectante a que las cosas se vayan desboronando sin siquiera haber arrancado. "Sea Of Dreams" puede ser una canción que describa a la perfección las vibraciones que se han apoderado de mi cuerpo en esta semana que por lo regular, ha [...]
I was fairly certain I saw the Bat Signal(TM), but I couldn't locate it in the sky. I looked and looked until "All For Love" came into my headphones. We already featured some musical bliss via Night Panther with "Fire" and "Lioness" in a Red Lights feature..."All For Love" is the dot on that "I" for my growing love for this band. There is a lot going on in this track. Labeled as "sex pop", I can see where these guys get it from. Killer vocals just blister out of your speakers a-la those great [...]
In light of all the sad events in Boston over the past several days, I felt it appropriate to leave this jam here as my song of the week. Way Yes are a four piece from Columbus, Ohio setting up to release their LP Tog Pebbles . It's a strange album name, and "Get Healed" is the first track I had ever heard from this awesome band. I am quite certain it won't be the last I'll hear from them, and likely will not be the last you'll want to hear from them as well. This [...]
Hasta el momento no estoy tan convencido sobre el efecto que " Demons " tuvo en mi, pero afortunadamente The National decidió soltar un segundo extracto de su nuevo álbum la semana pasada, y por razones que en múltiples ocasiones les he mencionado por aquí, no pude venir a compartir "Don't Swallow The Cap" en su momento, así que por esta simple razón he elegido este corte como la canción de la semana para cerrar de la mejor manera con estos 5 días que, al menos en lo personal, han sido un tremendo infierno. Además, "Don't Swallow The [...]
You may have noticed Weird Mob on my latest Shorthanded Goals recap. If not, don't worry, I saved an even better track for your listening pleasure today. What's in a Weird Mob? Librarians. You read that correctly. Weird Mob are a Charlottesville, VA group consisting of two librarians, among other professions (five members total). Not the kind that told you to be quiet or put on the yearly Book Fair, nope. These librarians make poppy jams about some of the strangest subjects imaginable. They do a pretty spot up job of it too. To be quite sincere, even [...]
It feels like eons ago when we first stumbled on Casey Immoor, aka IMMOOR , one of the most promising indie electro acts we've been able to find since MUF's inception back in 2006. We don't say that lightly either, since ... Read More
"Wildest Moments" fue una de mis canciones favoritas del año pasado, y estoy seguro que también se colocó dentro de sus listados personales, así que me parece que esto de Jessie Ware ya no necesita mayor presentación, con todo y que A$AP Rocky ha puesto su granito de arena en este remix que aparece en la edición 'gold' que próximamente estará apareciendo de "Devotion". Bue, en lo personal me parece que una edición especial de su debut no debe de sorprendernos en lo absoluto, y menos si en ella se hacen presentes un par de tracks [...]
Song of the Week time here at Sirens. Buffalo Rodeo are a Bowling Green, KY band with a new EP on the way titled Home Videos . They released "Treehouse" yesterday and I've been jamming to it pretty hard over the past day. Grab those gas masks, folks. "Treehouse" is straight infectious. Opening with thundering drums and wild guitars, Buffalo Rodeo's energy will put you in a joyous state as early as yesterday. The verses are something of a relief after the breakneck pace of the intro and refrains, with a steady rhythm section and a sweet [...]
Active Child, aka Patrick Grossi, announced on March 25th that he would release a new track. No apparent reason or news as to why other than to keep the flow going from 20112s You Are All I See . Apparently keeping active , Grossi ... Read More
Charli XCX pudo haber elegido un mejor arte que encabezara su primer álbum de larga duración después de todo el hype que ha ido provocando desde hace casi dos años; sin embargo opto por la salida más simple, y parece que lo que encontraremos dentro de "True Romance" será un poco más atractivo que la portada. Pero bueno, no me enganchare tanto en ese tema, ya que el día de hoy ha emergido en la red un nuevo track de Charli XCX de nombre "What I Like", el cual ya había estado presentando en sus shows en [...]
Providence synth rockers Magic Man are blowing up everywhere. Why not on Sirens of Decay? To be honest, I didn't know the first thing about them. I had never heard a single track by the band until early yesterday. Even if I had seen one of their tracks I might've overlooked it due to the name of the band...it doesn't really give you a good sense of what they are about. If I had known I would've been there day one. So early yesterday an e-mail arrives with the MP3 of "Texas" nestled within and I was like, [...]
El fin de semana ha llegado de manera oficial, así que para que este Viernes tenga un poco más de onda, que mejor que darle una buena escuchada a este nuevo track que Primal Scream acaba de dar a conocer en forma de "It's Alright, It's OK". Además, confieso que para la canción de la semana no tenía nada preparado y esto ha venido a rescatarme de la ansiedad y la preocupación que me estaba comiendo por no saber qué demonios venir a dejarles (la verdad no). Anyways, "It's Alright, It's OK" es el segundo [...]
Blazing Hips...I could think of several superb logos you could design for a band with a name like that. Too bad no one has used that name yet, or have they? Two dudes from LA have came together under that moniker, formed during "a little whiskey-fueled brainstorming session at a friend's apartment." They aren't sure which person coined it exactly, but it stuck and with good reason. It's not a name you're likely to forget. Particularly after you hear them play. While this particular name and musical styling of duo Kelvin Stewart and Nick Tashjian may be new, [...]
Richmond's own White Laces are a known quantity here at Sirens. I was lucky enough to receive their previous album MOVES for review, as well as get a chance to write about the first single from that release. I've held them in high esteem since. That single was "Crawl/Collapse" , and the track had this tone that just felt...good. Those guitar licks were bliss for me. A bit shy of a year later and White Laces have churned out a five track mix of some studio/radio sessions recorded in Norfolk and Richmond, VA. Of particular [...]
A month after they released their debut EP, the five man band from Nashville named Pocono finally got the go-ahead for our Song of the Week. "Candlelight" helps to exhibit some of the group's rock edge as they feature a ... Read More
En la semana andaba viendo la aparición de Depeche Mode en 'Live On Letterman', y creo que lo que más me sorprendió de toda la presentación fue toda la energía con la que Dave Gahan se sigue montando sobre un escenario, e incluso aunque los más recientes discos de Depeche Mode no han sido de mi completo agrado, es uno de esos frontman que de ley se tienen que ver en acción cada que salga por el mundo para promocionar sus nuevas creaciones. En unos días estará llegando a las tiendas de manera oficial "Delta Machine" [...]
On An On ’s debut album titled Give In has officially received the rubber stamp of approval from me personally. While that may not account for much for some of you, or perhaps all of you, their single “Every Song” is ... Read More
