Recurring PFW favorite Quilty has been featured on Break Thru Radio. Click on the above link to hear some superb live tracks (as well as several interview segments).
Brooklyn based rockers Quilty (previously known as KC Quilty, and featured on PFW in the past) are offering a FREE DOWNLOAD of their song “Shark Week” in honor of Shark Week 2010 (which officially started today). If you haven’t taken the time to check Quilty out yet, you have absolutely no excuse not to at this point — download “Shark Week” via the link above!
Seeing that the summer is just about coming to a close (with Labor Day less than a week away), I thought it would be appropriate to spend a few days reminiscing on some of artists/songs/albums that have kept me company over the past few months.
Without a doubt, Two Door Cinema Club’s Tourist History has been one of my most frequently repeated albums of the summer. Although they were first introduced on PFW in the Spring, their record only seemed to become more and more appropriate as the weather got warmer. If you haven’t taken the time to give this Northern Ireland trio a chance yet, I urge you to do so now!
Very interesting (semi-creepy) video for MGMT’s “Congratulations.”
An album doesn’t need to be groundbreaking to be a solid effort. Kangataran brings commonly beloved instrumentation to a familiar genre, and does so with enough grace and quiet expertise that the final product is wholly charming.
Remember last week when I mentioned to expect more from Kele Okereke on PFW in the near future? Well here it is. This is actually an acoustic version of his song “New Rules,” which serves as a nice break from the actual album (which many have criticized for being too electronic). This was part of Baeble Music’s “Guest Apartment” series, the rest of which can be seen here.
Our friends Chocolate Bread have made that dangerous, coveted maneuver of releasing a full-length record. Yep, 9 tracks of ambition, carefully crafted melodies and a veritable oasis of lyrical poetry. The group, after having garnered some attention as more of an acoustic act, built this album around the formation of a full band and really ran with it. The inclusion of intelligent, danceable instrumentation and some brilliant lyricism make …Until My Mind Stretches a momentous achievement.
