Atlas Genius - 63 Days

September 30, 2017 | Kerri

Now I'm packing to leave you for 63 days
And you think I won't miss you in six million ways
And the time of your life, spent wondering why
I don't call when I promise to
Ooh, now darling

One of the more obvious band clichés "lyrics based on experience from first big tour" Atlas Genius still draw me in with their fresh, modern sound. I love that the first new release in two years from these Aussie boys has me just as excited about them as their first release ever. "63 Days" is an early single for their forthcoming third album. I hope to catch them at Antone's here in Austin later this month.

Upcoming Shows

Charlotte Gainsbourg - Deadly Valentine

September 29, 2017 | Keith

Charlotte Gainsbourg is probably better known as an actress than a singer, but she's got a string of albums and some hits under her belt, the most notable of which is her cover of "Hey Joe". With her latest single, the provocative "Deadly Valentine" she brings some seriously funky beats with wedding vows delivered in a rhythmic chant that flows over the top as it rises and falls. Can't wait to hear the remixes for this one. Her new album, Rest, is out soon. Check the fun video below.

Grizzly Bear - Mourning Sound

September 28, 2017 | Kerri

I made a mistake
I should have never tried
I took the cake
Finished every slice
I moved away
Still playing off the fights
For every day
I share our love delight

I stare at the face
Looking through my eyes
I move at a pace
That I cannot survive
I'm hauling away
I do it all the time
Let love age
And watch it burn out and die

"Mourning Sound" was the first single from Painted Ruins the widely acclaimed new album by wonderfully atmospheric, sometimes psychedelic, Brooklyn indie quartet Grizzly Bear. This album is slightly less dreamy than previous recordings, but remains completely them. They've recently released the fourth single and another surreal video to go with (below).
