Hear it! New Young Galaxy

February 20, 2013 by morningaftershow

young-galaxy-at-the-vogue-theatre-15
Vancouver indie pop band Young Galaxy march closer to the April 23rd release of Ultramarine (Paper Bag).  We already heard “Pretty Boy” which I was obsessed with… That song is so sweet and romantic.  The track also falls into your more traditional vein of Canadian indie pop.  Today’s reveal from the record might be considered slightly more interesting…Nothing But Hope and Passion described the cut as “African Groove.”  Silent Shout says, steers “dangerously into the sun but steers wide of disaster.”  Neat.  Can’t wait to fire it up!

Young Galaxy, when you coming to visit us in Victoria?  Ugh… just SXSW?  Alright, I understand (but I can dream about Rifflandia VI can’t I?).

Go with yourself.

Daughter battles jealousy and gets a remix

February 20, 2013 by morningaftershow

Daughter-The-Wild-Youth-EP1
UK darling indie folksters Daughter will have their 4AD debut in March with the release of If You Leave.  The North London group began as the solo project of Elena Tonra and has since evolved into a trio.  Their music is simple and so beautiful.  A slinky edit of their The Wild Youth ep song “Love.”

The Bowery Boogie Blog has lots of insight into the world of Daughter…. I am interested in this Zebra Safari edit making the rounds on the intertron and thinking it might mike sense in the Lounge if the bartenders don’t call me “sad” and demand something “dancey.”

Jealousy is an ugly emotion, but it makes for a beautiful song.

They call him the seeker: Listen to Jim James

February 19, 2013 by morningaftershow

jimjames-1359152539
Sitting around at the Veneto Lounge on Friday night…. head Bartender Simon was having a pint of something delicious and beer with Aaron from Habit Coffee.  The talk turned turned to music as it does with groovy people and both of them were talking about Jim James.

We know, love, and remember Jim James from the rock & roll band My Morning Jacket.

Both gentlemen had great things to say about Jim James’ album Regions of Light and Sound of God. And they are not alone in the praise.

Check out the song “A New Life.”

Brand spanking new Phoenix! Listen to Entertainment

February 18, 2013 by morningaftershow

phoenix
The album and single art is tragic, but the new sounds from Paris’ Phoenix….pretty good.

The premiere single off Bankrupt (April 23rd, Universal) is called “Entertainment.”

You’re getting a synth-driven, forward moving, Phoenix sounding song.

Stereogum says THIS!
and Spin says THAT!

Happy Monday!

Happy Monday! A weekend of emails to answer on Monday morning brought many new song developments to share.  One f the more exciting ones, new music from Ben Gibbard’s (Death Cab for Cutie) Postal Service.

The song will be part of April’s ten year reissue of 2003’s Give Up.

The song once again taps female vocalist Jenny Lewis (Ril0 Kiley) for a contribution.

Death Cab goes on tour for the first time in ten years… beginning at Coachella and winding its way up to Sasquatch in May.

sir sly
Jesiah alerted me to another slinky song from LA’s Sir Sly bouncing around the internet tubes.  Their Ghost ep is out NOW in NA (Neon Gold) and on March 4th in the UK (National Anthem).

Sunset in the Rearview Mirror compare these guys favourably to another California band that is red hot right now, The Neighbourhood.

Happy Friday!

Happy St. Valentine’s Day

record girl

Traveling back in time on Valentine’s Day for a romantic song from Broken Social Scene.  I had a minor obsession with this song when  I first made my way to Victoria.  You’ll find this cut on You Forgot it In People.

I heard it the other day randomly and it filled me with warmth…so I’ll share it with you today.

Go with yourself.

“appeals to both the thinking and the banging head.” The music of Red Fang, We Hunt Buffalo, and Death Grips

February 13, 2013 by morningaftershow

8PG BKLT.qxd
I’ve been feeling Portland’s Red Fang the last couple days.  These guys rip…so good that the ONLY thing that would make them better is if they were called The Hooded Fang.

The record is not new, Murder The Mountains was released back in 2011.  Since the Sasquatch 2013 lineup announcement, I’ve been listening to lots of the bands taking part.  Red Fang have stood out as a band I wish I could see there.

The song I chose for you off their album is called “Dirt Wizard,” because it had wizard in the title.

***

Another band that I think has the potential to take Sasquatch to DEFCON 1 is Sacramento’s Death Grips.  Music to freakout the norms.

***

Lastly, let’s travel across the Salish Sea and enjoy the latest feature track from the Fraser Valley’s We Hunt Buffalo.

Loud it up.

Go with yourself.
