Mother Mother is a band I fell for so long ago. Their 2008 debut O My Heart is a personal favorite of mine so its only natural for me to be a little hyped by the release of their second album Eureka, released just last month. Mother Mother are indie rockers who know how to blend so many different elements together into nice alternative pop music. Far In Time is just so musically flowing and over all well polished. Most of the songs on Eureka have a constant pace that is quite exciting, yet at the same time relaxing. I may have a personal bias towards Mother Mother, but I’ll defend to the end that more music should be made with the amount passion these guys (and gals) put into their music.
PS: I was gone all weekend so that is why there have not been any new songs the past two days.
EDIT: Seems The Kills record company has taken down Blood Pressures from soundcloud. I will post a secondary link ASAP.
EDIT#2: Well apparently Blood Pressures is no longer available to stream on any service via web. Domino Records has decided to take down the album from all streaming services.
Edit#3: Well i’m not going to leave you hanging high and dry. You guys will have to settle with the equally awesome track Satellite while I wait for Domino Records to take their boot of my face.
The Kills – Satellite
Edit#4: THE BOOT IS BACK ON MY FACE : /
What a hell of a way to kick off a new album! The Kills new album Blood Pressures drops today and what better way the celebrate then to share the album’s brilliant opening track with everyone. This song is dripping with that signature sound I have come to love and associate with The Kills so much. The Future Starts Slow is all about never giving up on the one you care about no matter how hard you have to struggle to keep yourselves afloat. The new album is full of tracks that analyze the dark corners of relationships and the complex twists and turns encountered as we try to please one another. I have had to joy of being able to listen through all of Blood Pressures and I am very very pleased to say The Kills have a released a solid piece of art that rivals their amazing 2008 albumMidnight Boom. The more I listen, the more it grows and it maybe too early to say but I have a feeling this an album I will associate with “Best of 2011” at some point in my life.
Jon Fratelli brings us his solo style from Glasgow
There is something really catchy about about the simple indie rock song Rhythm Doesn’t Make You A Dancer. That chorus line pierces right through me and hooks me back in every time with the statement- Put your money right where your mouth is, Don’t go deaf or blind just to find this. Jon Fratelli has plenty of experience in writing crowd pleasers as he was a main member of the popular alternative band The Fratellis (Best known for the song Flathead). Jon has also recently disbanded his mildly successful Fratellis side project Codine Velvet Club (Best known for the song Hollywood) in pursuit of a career as a solo artist. If Mr. Fratelli is capable of continuing to deliver little gems like this one then going solo is looking like it just might pay off. His debut album Psycho Jukebox is set to be released sometime this June.
I never really could understand how such an amazing band like Kasabian can go so unnoticed in the States. In 2009 these guys released the brilliant concept album West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum. The album received massive amounts of praise in Britain but is still relatively unknown in America. It actually defies all logic that such a large number of people are unexposed to a band like Kasabian. They do such a good job infusing rock and various electro styles that you’d think Americans would eat it right up. A raw and unprocessed sound, combined with sharp precise lyrics, helped to make West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum one of my absolute favorites of 2009. I really can’t tell you enough times that you should go check out this incredible british musical group.
I was really taken aback by King of Leons latest album Come Around Sundown. I did not expect to go track by track through the album and find a solid tune each time, but hey them Leons sure showed me. To be honest Come Around Sundown has easily become one of my favorite albums of 2010 and for me it beats Only By The Night as far as KOL albums go. An overall relaxed and laid back tone is present throughout Come Around Sundown, the perfect vibe for a nice easy going car ride or to just simply sit down and enjoy the mellow feeling. Pyro is a great example of what their latest album has to offer and I highly recommend you do yourself a favor and check out their other new songs.
