Video #1042727754
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!

7-piece folk-rock outfit Where’s Lawrence? (who were featured back in February) have two stellar performances on the horizon. They’ll be playing the St. Louis Music Festival on September 16th in St. Louis, as well as the Midpoint Music Festival in Cincinnati on September 24th. If you happen to be in the area, I would highly suggest stopping by. Need proof? Here you go.

Sean Kangataran LP // Melancholy Indie Rock & Plenty of Personality
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.

It’s no secret I’ve been on a Spirit Animal kick. After getting to know Steve a bit when we talked earlier this month, I developed a deeper appreciation for a record I really liked to begin with. I was curious to see how they pulled it off live and if this teasing little video is any indication, than this stuff makes for a killer show. I love the “Ants” portion toward the middle.

Interview with Steve Cooper of Spirit Animal - We talk Roots / The Cost of Living
I sat down (and by that I mean, spoke over the phone) with Steve Cooper of Spirit Animal and learned a little bit about where he came from and what inspired one of my favorite albums of the year, “The Cost of Living.” He told me to expect the album in late September, so if you like what you hear on the myspace, be sure to check back here for a review. In the meantime, enjoy the very intelligent words of Mr. Steve Cooper…

Chocolate Bread // …Until My Mind Stretches
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.

CircleBirds: You’re Reverberated, Melody-Driven Fix for July
A delicate balance between shoegaze and fast-paced, early punk-flavored drum beats: weird, right? Nope, no typo and no it’s not altogether a radical sound by any means. The Texas natives, CircleBirds, are doing something really cool and at the very least, original.
