Plants & Animals-Lightshow
Just talking with Troy tonight at work about upcoming albums to look forward to, Plants & Animals came up. We both agreed their last album, 2010's "La La Land" was pretty fine. We were also reminded how much we enjoyed 2008's "Parc Avenue". Something about a good mix of laid back tunes with just enough rock smarts keeps these guys solid. We'll see if they can keep up the trend with "End Of That" due out on February 28th. Here's a song called "Lightshow" to get us all ready._________________________________________________________________________________
Jack White-Love Interruption
As we all know, Jack White can only sit idle for so long. And it's been about a year since The White Stripes dissolved. Seems like the listening public is ready for White's solo debut "Blunderbuss" due out on April 23rd, so that's two more months of a wait. Fortunately, White picked a great debut single with "Love Interruption" to get ceremonies started for whatever blunderbuss is....Something tells me to look it up in the dictionary to find out..._________________________________________________________________________________
Memoryhouse-The Kids Were Wrong
Well, if you liked Beach House's "Teen Dream", why not try residing in a different house for the time being until Beach House follows up that ethereal beauty. Canadian dream pop band Memoryhouse will be releaseing their debut album on February 28th entitled "The Slideshow Effect". Just like Beach House, it's another two piece gal/guy outfit (It seems to be the trend lately...guys, if you know a girl with a good voice and you like to write music, maybe you should start a band. Girls, vive versa). "The Kids Were Wrong" is an offering from "The Slideshow Effect"________________________________________________________________________________
Van Halen-You And Your Blues
Two text messages from friends and a tweet from another has me just downright curious...Is the new Van Halen that good? Or is it expectations have to be so low that that they've put out a competent album. My first listen to a song is happening right now (Oh, a Sammy reference, sorry guys). It's been since Mr. Belvedere was on the air since I purchased a Van Halen album and I doubt that will change. But I'm gonna pay attention. Diamond Dave deserves that respect, right? Well, here's a little bit of "You and Your Blues".________________________________________________________________________________
Wild Nothing-Nowhere
Quite simply, I really love Wild Nothing. Their 2010 debut was an honorable mention for album of the year for me and their EP "Golden Haze" released a little later in the year had quite a few good songs on it for an EP. It's Jack Tatum's outfit and if the shimmering guitars and dissonant vocals continue to shine the way they did before, I'm all ears! Here's Tatum and Wild Nothing's latest single "Nowhere". No date yet for a new, proper release.
