I'm still catching up on cool new releases that have flown by me in recent months. Here's another one. The Soft Pack from sunny CA has a new release out. It came out in September when I was sleeping, clearly. It's called 'Strapped' and it's full of catchy cool songs laced with 70s pop vibe and loads more. photo courtesy of You Me and Charlie The band is just finishing up a month-long tour across the East [...]

Our guest earlier today live on the Morning Show, Sera Cahoone tops this week's list of new releases with her third solo effort. The Seattle singer-songwriter - formerly, and sometimes still, drummer - improves upon her last two excellent albums with what our Music Director, Don Yates, calls, "an often-gorgeous set of haunting country-folk with a rootsy, atmospheric sound fleshed out with acoustic guitars and pedal steel along with occasional banjo, violin, keyboards and more on a consistently strong set of poignant, emotionally bare songs pairing her increasingly assured vocals with accompaniment by her ace regular backing band [...]
The Soft Pack are an indie rock foursome from Los Angeles. They are releasing their new album, Strapped next Tuesday on Mexican Summer Records. Odenkirk is best known for his acting/comedy/writing in Mr. Show, his role in The Larry Sanders Show as Sanders' agent Stevie Grant, and more recently as the lovable and loathful corrupt ...

Former Muslims and old favorites The Soft Pack return come September 25th on Mexican Summer with the single below titled Tallboy . Am feeling this new Blue Oyster Cultish sound if it is any indication of things to come. Also love any song where a guy sounds fed up. He is over it, whatever it is. Dunzo, as they used to say. Is this a sample listen or does the song just fade out ? I'm imagining that guy just left the band playing in the middle of the song [...]
Uma lição já ensinada por Madonna , Gwen Stefani e bem aprendida pelo grupo de rock The Soft Pack - quer tornar seu single mais grudento e irresistível? Soletre o refrão. Tallboy , ou t-a-l-l-b-o-y , como é dito no refrão, é uma das músicas mais suaves do Soft Pack até hoje, e também a mais radiofônica da carreira da banda. Sim, mais radiofônica que a explosão de guitarras de Answer to Yourself . Tallboy é o segundo single divulgado de Strapped , novo [...]
As previously reported , San Diego’s The Soft Pack returns on September 25th with their sophomore LP, Strapped , via Mexican Summer. Already we've heard the opening track "Saratoga" , and now the band's serving up its seaside dancefloor anthem, "Tallboy". Horns, an organ, and shag carpet rhythms hint at major growth spurts within the band's sound. Stream the psychedelic clip below. Consult the album's tracklist and the band's forthcoming tour itinerary below. Strapped Tracklist: 01. Saratoga 02. Second Look 03. [...]
We have another track titled "Tallboy" from The Soft Pack's upcoming LP Strapped , out September 25th on Mexican Summer . The song is a maturation of sorts from the band with inclusion of sweeping organs and horns. It almost sounds like it could be a Killers tune with the Brandon Flowers-exque vocals. In addition, MOKB Presents will be bringing the band back to Radio Radio in Indianapolis on October 11th. Be sure to not miss out on this one. They always put on [...]

Probably the best thing about the Soft Pack is that groove – you know what we’re talking about; dudes have one of the best drummers and one of the best bass players in the indie rock game right now, and they take every possible opportunity to establish a driving, kraut-y groove that’s just one of the things that makes this band so irresistible. But it’s also telling of their talent that they can depart from that formula and craft a really fantastic song – we’re talking about “Tallboy,” the second [...]

A principios de Julio me desperte con la noticia de que The Soft Pack estaria editando un nuevo album de larga duracion, mismo que en su momento la verdad es que no me llamo mucho la atencion ya que con su debut no lograron convenserme del todo, pese a que tenian muy buenos ratos dentro de el pero, cuando empece a escuchar " Saratoga " me fui percatando de que estos chicos han tomado un enfoque mucho mas interesante dentro de sus composiciones, asi que he optado por darles un adecuado seguimiento dentro de este blog. Pero bueno, [...]
