Funk-filled, sax-laden new track from one of Mississippi’s finest, Dent May. “Eastover Wives” is smoother than Travolta via Saturday Night Fever and more addictive than whatever was floating around at Studio 54. Forest Family will be releasing this on 7″ vinyl along with the previously-mentioned “That Feeling” on September 14th. Copies are limited to 1000 with the first 500 in sexy lavender. Pre-Order here.

Just over a year removed from his LP debut, Mississippi’s favorite baritone-crooning heartthrob, Dent May, breaks his silence just in time for the Summer holidays. This time around he sheds the ukulele and picks up a Casio, showing us an entirely different side and a maturity that lives up to any expectations that might have been placed. Destined for pool/bbq party soundtracks worldwide, “That Feeling” is a refreshing breeze as these dog-days of summer are already upon us. B/w the ‘discofunk jammer’ “Eastover Wives” you can expect to see these featured in the Forest Family catalogue on a 7″ sometime in August.

There has to be something in the water in Mississippi. I’ve mentioned on countless occasions that the stewing scene there is set to be noticed on a more national scale and, for the most part, it has been. John Barret’s Bass Drum of Death is one of the key components for the state’s recent found success and with his latest offering he proves to keep it that way. It takes some serious balls for a dude to cover a Chiffons’ track but it takes even more when you hear that it’s “He’s So Fine”. Not only does Barrett pull it off, he does so with dart throwing accuracy. From the harmonious tracking (all of which are by Barrett himself) to the slice of Southern garage kick that’s added, this is one of the more perfectly executed covers that I’ve heard in a while. On the books for a July release via Brooklyn’s Daed Pizza as a 7″ single (keep an eye on their shop for a pre-order). Also, catch him on a half month tour through the Midwest on East Coast, all listed here.

Dent May (magnificent ukulele in hand) stopped by the Daytrotter studios and laid down four tracks. All were included on last years release, The Good Feeling Music of Dent May and His Magnificent Ukulele, and (yes) “Howard” is one of em. I still don’t get why everyone likes to shoehorn that Dent is “friends with Animal Collective”–because that has nothing to do with his sound–but the this Rock Island session is nothing shy of “magnificent”. Download available here and make sure to check out his first DT appearance.

Still going strong two weeks into our programming on, the great, Indie-Verse radio and we’ve got another nice lineup of tunes. We’ve got the local scene covered with some tracks from Fergus & Geronimo and The Uptown Bums. Also, my new collective friends from Oxford, MS, Cats Purring, have their fair share of play time. Listen to the show today at 1 PM CST and again on Saturday at the same time. We’ll be in Denton (at Rubber Gloves) tonight for our show with Crystal Antlers, Video and Uptown Bums. Come say hi. Head here for the link to stream. Hit the jump for the tracklisting.

Honestly, I haven’t been sleeping on this–although some serious ears have already caught on. Already in good company with Vancouver based Sweet Rot Records, Flight’s psych-noise is thick enough to give graveyards worldwide that trademark fog that only seems to be real in movies. Haunting vocal effects and a buzzsaw guitar worthy of severing limbs, blast this from your house if you forgot to buy candy and trick-or-treaters won’t step near yr porch. Paypal sweetrot@hotmail for a copy.
Complimentary:
We’ve already talked about fellow Oxford, Miss. noise mongers Dead Gaze and Bass Drum Of Death (best band names for Halloween?), but here’s to keep you cool to their collective, Cats Purring. A rad collab of dudes also including Flight and Dent May. Check it.
