I’ve been camping on these Free Kisses tracks for waaay to long to not have them up here already. While I’m stuck indoors ‘cos of this flood campaign (seriously 3rd day straight of rain) I’ve, at least, got these woozy gems to keep me company. Check out Karen this week at a variety of East Coast and Midwestern venues with Cloud Nothings.

It’s been months since I’ve caught any words from The Lawds and, just yesterday, I get an email with a new track. It seems Richard has relocated away from London and even “got a drummer and bassist and everything – it’ll be like one of those real bands off the TV!” Well, if you thought their months away would have given them time to polish/clean up their sound, you’d be wrong. “You Keep Me Waiting” is just as raw (if not more so) and honest as ever–and that’s exactly why we like these guys.

Beko DSL, your digital single source, just posted new Woodsman tracks (another band on our SXSW KICKASS-A-THON) these two new tracks are a bit different from the first Woodsman stuff we were blessed to hear; the new tracks have shimmery yet faint vocals attached are drive a little more up beat. Im only putting up one track because the other is a epic 9-min jam sesh, but I suggest you check out the Beko website and dive into the amazing back catalogue they have going.

Our brothers across the sea, Transparent, posted the remix to Cloud Nothings hit “Hey Cool Kid” a couple of days ago. The remix was curated by the great Memoryhouse who all to often wrinkles my brain. This particular remix is slow as oversweetened-mushy-molasses thats gently falling of the plate of rad. If you didnt already know, Cloud Nothings just put out Turning On on vinyl and as I just got it in the mail I can tell you first hand is a beautiful listen.

I know very little about Phillip Oskar Augustine next to the fact that his name is epic and his music is uniquely genuine. His cassette Unknown Patterns (JD homage?) is out today on one of my favorite cassette labels, Bathetic Records. The track below is straight from the tape that you can purchase here.

Fergus & Geronimo will be playing both our NX35 showcase and our SXSW party and has a tasty morsel for all who will be attending in the form of a new song. “Turning Blue” is late-70s sunny power-pop majesty; this is by far the most merry song the Denton band have released and has a picture-perfect place setting in the easy-riding Texas Spring we’re headed towards.

Just in time for Spring, Weed Diamond’s latest, “Snowmelt”, is set as the a-side for 7″ single release. Since it’s over the top good, it would only make sense for our friends at Transparent to press this gem. With “Oklahoma” on the flip, these two sunny pop tunes are perfect for keeping those icicles off yr eaves. On top of all this, we’ll get to hang with both WD and the Transparent dudes in Austin in the coming weeks. Limited to 300 copies, order now.

Somewhat similar to Spectrals‘ drowned doo wop sound, Manchester, UK’s Boy or Bison has recently sent over a few tunes. From the looks of it, they’ve only been around since early last month so there is little to no release information on these guys. In fact, all I really KNOW is that they’ll be supporting Best Coast next month when she tours the UK.

If you were listening to our radio steez last week, you might have heard us play some Soft Healer. Just as relaxing as their influences “essential oils, moonlight, and burnt stage” these laid back tunes have been an inviting way to stay in for the night. Also, they’re from Austin so I’d expect to see them at a number of shows during SXSW.

We were fortunate enough to hear Crystal Antlers play “Dead Horses” at funfunfunfest and our very own shindig at RGRS last October, a great bunch of people they are. I knew when I heard “Dead Horses” it would translate well to recording and Im sure its magical on vinyl, if youd like to contribute to the cause, the band is self-releasing a 7-inch with this song and “Little Sister” through their website. You can even download the tracks NOW for free; the band will be making their way through Texas again in a week and a half for SXSW and at the end of March into the great European unknown with a thorough romp through the entire continent.
