This demotrack is an extremely beautiful late night track by Hip Hatchet for his new album. He's still recording it, but if all songs are as good as this, it's bound to be great.
"I wanna go there," Ntjam Rosie wrote on Facebook when she posted this video. Yes, what an amazing landscape, I wanna go there too! Since she posted it, I've listened to it a lot, it's the perfect spring soundtrack! Hope you like it too :)
There are some rumours about the new Fleet Foxes-album being fully leaked on the web. I've got no clue if this is true, but above seems to be the 3rd song from the upcoming album, called 'Bedouin Dress'. I like it, compared with the already leaked tracks Helplessness Blues and Battery Kinzie takes it a 2nd place, behind 'Helplessness Blues', which is still my favourite FF-track of 2011. So far, that is..!
April 6th brings us the debut LP 'Past Life Martyred Saints' by EMA (aka Erika M. Anderson). This 1st song is so amazingly cool, that i'm really looking forward to this album even though this is the only song i've heard so far. It brings me back to the good old days of listening to my dad's 70s albums, aswell as to the years spent listening to Nirvana, Rage Against The Machine and Soundgarden. Not that EMA has anything to do with that, but this 1 song just gets me there. And those days were the good old days, which i'm allowed to talk about since i'm turning 31 this week (OMFG!). Stop reading, just listen to this epic song, clocking over 7 minutes and brilliant from start to finish!
SO3 has the honour of being this weeks Monday Morning Kick-Off with their new song 'Invincible'. Which is an incredible catchy tune that goes very well with the sunny weather we've been having this last week. It has the feel of Summer all over it & just makes you wanna dance around on the beach with a cold Corona.. and off to work i go.. *sigh*
YACHT is releasing their new album SHANGRI-LA this summer & this 1st single took a few spins today, but eventually worked it's way into my bed and now all i'm singing is about the Earth being on fire..
Dakotafish has released a new song called 'Great Ones' as a headstart to their upcoming new album, to be released in June. It's a great and atmosperic song that makes me wanna play it louder and louder everytime i hear it. I can't really say why i like this so much, but i know i really do! I think it's a Great One (okay, that's a really lame excuse for a joke, but i couldn't resist..).
Another track from the upcoming Fleet Foxes-album, which will be released May 3rd. This track has just aired on BBC Radio 1 and is called 'Battery Kinzie', a little bit more upbeat than the already released 1st single Helplessness Blues, but very much a Fleet Foxes-song with that folky sound & amazing vocals. Is it May 3rd yet!?
Generationals is releasing their new album next week & took the opportunity to share the complete album with the world untill then via the player above. This had me up & dancing from the 1st second and has already made my day completely worth it. This is gonna be on the speakers all day at work; Great album!
Smashing Pumpkins is working on their epic project "Teargarden By Kaleidoscope", which will eventually include 44 songs. All songs are available through the above player and free to download. Not all songs are masterpieces, but latest addition 'Lightning Strikes' is a great SP-rocksong. Keep an eye on their website for new releases on this impressive project.
This weeks Monday Morning Kick-off (this sounds better in Dutch actually; de maandagochtendplaat!) is from BOAT ft. John Roderick. Nice way to rock yourself into a new week AND a new season, cuz it's Spring and we should celebrate that with some great music! have a good week!
