It somewhat fitting that we get an email from The Fresh & Onlys about their new 7″ as I have just lost a bid on ebay for three Fresh & Onlys’ 7-inches at the last second; shame on my bidding strategies. Somewhat disappointed but not discouraged, this new Second One To Know 7″ falls into my email’s lap, thanksfully. Its two great songs and is from their super-exclusive Bomb Wombs cassette on Fuck It Tapes and you can purchase it at Insound. The a-side is below.

The output of quality music, so far, by the band Fergus & Geronimo really cannot compare to their counterparts. In my humble opinion, the band is at the forefront of a burgeoning new branch of music; I think its the soul vibes that do it for me. By my count they are already pre-ordering one new 7 inch on Transparent and have released two more thus far, on Woodsist *sold out* and the most recent on Tic Tac Totally!, the latter of the two I actually ordered for myself recently. The band is listed as a “casual project” as of now, and no shows are up on the band’s Myspace but I am willing to bet they will have a show soon; maybe a free show this Friday, Sept. 4th at our friends’ Rubber Gloves with Sleep Whale and Dust Congress, you can never know for sure though.

I found this track about a month ago only to be featured on Woods‘ myspace page. Not exactly sure what plans were in store for “Get Back”, I recently discovered it to be on the latest issue of the Yeti Magazine compilation. If you aren’t familiar with Yeti, they release quarterly publications with poems, art, and stellar compilation albums filled with mostly unreleased tunes. As a matter of fact, their last playlist could supply me with posts for days to come as each track is worth more than one listen. Back to the gem in mention, “Get Back” lays down more folksy feelings and has that signature Jeremy Earl falsetto. Could be that this will be featured on a future Woods release or maybe this is as far as it will reach.

Real Estate, is led by former Titus Andronicus member Martin Courtney and current Ducktails guitarist Matt Mondanile. Their breezy pop music heard on “Beach Comber,” signals an altogether different vibe from past/present endeavors. The New Jersey based band is now recording a debut LP for Woodsist and based off music available now from Underwater Peoples will be one to look for in the future. I did not hear about these guys from our friends over @pitchfork, (see our June 5th mixtape) but they have an interview up from last week worthy of a read if interested.

Yet another “supergroup” in the making. Already dropping some heavy news yesterday, Vivian Girls are in the headlines once again. Tentatively named The Babies, the Girls (Cassie Ramone, that is) and Woods performed recently at an afterparty for Woodsist/Captured Tracks festival. The sound quality is typical of a live recording, sub-par, and is a teaser of sorts to keep us all hungry for a proper recording.

New project from Glenn Donaldson (The Skygreen Leopards) and Josh Alper, The Art Museums. Not much information on these guys for the time being, other than they will be releasing their tunes under the stellar Woodsist label. Imagine someone had just traveled back in time and handed an electronic beat machine to Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Yeah, this stuff is good.

complimentary:
If you don’t already know, The Skygreen Leopards have a brilliant release in Gorgeous Johnny for us to look forward to. SGL will be playing this 11th in the San Fran area with LPs for sale (proper “shelf” release on the 21st via Jagjaguwar).

Another new single from one of our favorite labels, Woodsist. Ganglians new single “Valient Brave” is a slow-starter, but a minute or so in things start to pick up. I enjoy this quote from Ganglians describing their sound on Monster Head Room: “This album is pure naive headphone acid pop to drive to, at least that’s what was going through our heads.” Well I know I’m ready for some acid pop driving!! (not safe by the way) Enjoy the tune from these Sacromentonians (?).

Lately, it’s been nearly impossible to argue with the artists that Woodsist Records have been producing. Once again, this proves to be true. A favorite of mine (if you’ve been on this site in the past I’m sure you already know this!), The Fresh & Onlys, are already in the works of pushing their second album this year. Still in the womb, Grey-Eyed Girls, should be released prior to their tour later this fall. “Happy to be Living” gives us our first glimpse of what to expect and does not disappoint in the least. Whether its graveyard dogs barking or a creaking noise that could only come from Norma Bates’s rocking chair, the F&O’s paint an eerily beautiful look into mortality. Keep an eye out for the new LP, and get acquainted with their already released s/t. Word on the street is these guys should be on our block sometime this October.

I’ve had the latest Fresh & Onlys LP (out now via Castle Face Records) on repeat for the past two weeks. Let’s put it this way, I can’t listen to anything else because the lp has melted and now become a permanent fixture on my record player (miss you side b!). I know, I know this is like my third post on these guys in the last month, but this is probably one of my favorite albums of the year so far. Insound, and their reccommend mp3s, has recently offered up this free download of one of their key tunes “Peacock Wing”. A perfect harbinger to the hot summer days, the F&O’s deliver a mix between California beach pop and quick guitar riffs/high hat beats that give the song some attitude. I’ve been talking with these guys the past few weeks and they will be dropping a new Woodsist LP late fall and we should expect to see them on tour sometime in October (yes, I have a feeling they will be coming to Denton).
