Goodbye Quarter 1 and now we enter Quarter 2 of 2014.
Looks
like spring is here to stay in Atlanta as we have had multiple days in a
row over 70 degrees. I anticipate the explosion of pollen to happen
any week now.
MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA
I
have been a fan of this Atlanta band since their first album. The new
album, "Cope" is more raw than their previous few which I like. It
came out yesterday but I have already have listened to it about 3 times
through-which is rare.

METALLICA
Despite
their complete lack of self awareness, being an 80's metal kid, I still
have a soft spot in my heart for Metallica. Whenever I begin to give
up on them, Metallica seems to suck me back in with a solid cover. This
is no different, for the new Ronnie James Dio tribute album they did a
great melody of Rainbow songs during the Dio years.
Audio - "Ronnie Rising" http://bit.ly/1i2aCUZ
TEMPLES
I am a little late to the party on this one but if you like Tame Impala this English band is definitely worth checking out.
Video - "Mesmerise" http://bit.
DEAN WAREHAM
Surprisingly
this is Dean Wareham from Galaxie 500 & Luna's first proper full
length solo album. It is exactly what you would expect and that isn't a
bad thing at all. A bunch of tracks were produced by Jim James of My
Morning Jacket. This is my favorite track so far.
Audio - "Love Is Not A Roof Against The Rain" http://bit.ly/1lneunz
MILO & OTIS
I
just stumbled upon this track today from Chicago alternative R&B
duo. This song is all about texture and mood. Very Bon Iverish
Audio - "Neighbors" http://bit.
YOUNG THUG
There
isn't any upcoming artist that seems to be getting more press than
Young Thug and a lot of it has nothing to do with his music. The
mixtape "Black Portland" came out a few months ago but I have found
myself going back to this particular track mainly for it's weird
melodies. There isn't anything out there like it and no matter what
you think about this song you will find it sticking in your head like
that last bit of peanut butter in the jar.
Audio - "Florida Water" http://bit.ly/1s83K0o
AVA LUNA
After
making you listen to Young Thug, I figured I should take it back a few
notches for you. This track is a nice laid back treat. If you like
this song, you should note the album often goes in a few different
directions including sounding like Gang Of Four or Wire.
Audio - "PRPL" http://bit.ly/
DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE
I found this site that had some interesting things done with cassettes http://bit.ly/QFMYYl
The whole site is pretty great if you are into art & design http://bit.ly/1hhGPGW
I hope you all have a great week!
