Here is a download from The Innocence Mission's new album My Room In The Trees. The song is "Gentle The Rain At Home". If you are in the mood for some very soothing and well orchestrated music, songs that are carried by melodic piano, organ and gorgeous vocals, this album promises to be just that.

New stuff from San Francisco’s Finest Dearest. Their newest album is called Good Enough released on the label Bloodtown Records. The band kind of falls under the category of 90’s indie rock, with some tendencies towards low-fi. Both of the guitars can shift from intricate and melodic to simple and crushing quite quickly, fitting perfectly together with the vocals, and creating very dynamic songs. Finest Dearest is worth checking out.

Slow Trucks is a three piece from San Francisco. They are touring right now with a new EP called “Sometimes Friends Fight”. Their band dynamic reminds me a lot of Dinosaur Jr. A completely solid rhythm section, solid drums and bass lines, and as a whole the band is completely together. They have a sort of 1990’s lo-fi indie rock sound and their songs are straightforward, dynamic, and not to mention quite loud, with pretty vocal melodies and the guitarist knowing just the right times to let loose on the guitar. Seeing the band play live was a treat. Just the shear volume was impressive for a band of three. They were completely together musically, and they played a great show. They are on tour right now all down the West Coast.

I was sitting home feeling completely bored with a huge lack of energy weighing on me. In an attempt to shake it off, I turned to my good friend, Mrs. Internet. Today I discovered Sugar & Gold...mmmmm...Sugar & Gold...slurp! I will admit that I am sometimes late to the game in regards to cool bands. Who has time to know and get close to all things rad? But, I am thrilled to have stumbled upon Sugar & Gold! San Francisco is the lucky city to claim them, but they have been accepted in most cities with any good sense.
A lot of their catalog has a very traditional disco feeling. I like disco. I love all the debauchery associated with it! I can't even get through writing a sentence with out stopping to "dance" to it! The album that Loudvine is featuring, Get Wet!, is more on the electro-pop side, but equally delicious. I wouldn't doubt that the dance floor is filled with sweaty, gold-pants-wearing, home-wrecking, beautiful sluts. So, in my attempt to find said dance floor, I have sadly discovered that they will not be performing in my neighborhood anytime soon, but if you live in Brooklyn, Denver, Austin, Phoenix, or even freakin' Albuquerque, you'll be fortunate to catch an opportunity to dance with them (lucky ducks!). (On a side note, what the hell is up with bands not making their way to L.A. these days?) See them, buy them, love them, eat them!!

Sometimes finding solace in music can be peachy keen--well, it can be if you find it in Chicago's Very Truly Yours. Their album, "Things You Used To Say," is a sugary sweet trip down nostalgia lane. The title track is, to me, the epitome of the album's sound. It has just the right amount of subtle 60's vibe (no hippy stench) to keep you interested. This album is not one that is going to make you dance the night away or get you pumped up for some action (isn't that what all the kids say?). Instead, don't be surprised if you find yourself listening to it alone at night remembering all the loves of your life and what you never got a chance to say to them. Very Truly Yours' album,"Things You Used To Say," has its place in our lives and we hope you fall in love with this album. You don't even have to wait! It's already out. Currently, Very Truly Yours in gigging four dates in the east, but with a little interest from us they will make their way to the west.

I don't know much about Fargo, North Dakota...actually, here is exactly what I know about Fargo: the Coen Brothers put it on the map for me and super rad band called, Secret Cities, emerged from it. Secret Cities is a relatively new band signed to Western Vinyl. Other bands coming out from under Western Vinyl's umbrella include Dirty Projectors and Ola Podrida. Bright Teeth is the name of Secret Cities' double A-side single LP. "Pink Graffiti Pt. 1" is the track available for download here. It beckons the subtlety of electronics. The space between vocals and instruments is un-timed to my ears allowing inspirational moments abound! The other song on Bright Teeth is "Bright Teeth." I might call this song the older brother of the LP with darker beats and slicing synth. We are not making it available for download, but it would be a shame for you to not check it out. When Secret Cities comes to your city do show them props and see 'em! No tour schedule as of now, but keep them on your radar!

Hideous Men. That is all. Good day, sirs. No! This duo, Kristi and Ryan from Denver, Colorado, need no words to describe their awesomeness, but that would be a terrible injustice to all the people out there who read blogs to discover their new music fetish. Hideous Men is half dance-happy, as heard in "Talons," and half dream scape music that is fresh with bibs, tings, bops, hidden hip-hop beats, and hollow atmospheric discoveries to keep you on your ear-toes. I have listened to their self titled EP like six times and I already want to marry it. It promotes escapism and wakes you up to dance even when you don't wanna! Let 'em in, boys!

Every generation wants to claim the corner on...well...everything! Los Campesinos! does not apologize for representing their generation nor should they! If any band is going to represent the early 20 somethings it should be Los Campesinos! Los Campesinos! consists of eight members (all with the last name Campesino! haha!) and hail from Cardiff, Wales, UK. Their second album, Romance Is Boring, is an angsty collection of 15 fun, energy-filled songs. Their style range is broad. Once you think you've got their style pegged they switch up the vocal style, instrumental composition, and subject matter. "The Sea Is A Good Place To Think Of The Future" is an instrumentally stunning interpretation of themselves, showcasing their outstanding musical capabilities juxtaposed with common, humanistic subject matter. Romance Is Boring is freshly available for your consumption, came out on the 26th of January. And, they'll be touring the U.S. come April 22nd. So, if you're in New York City, Boston, D.C., Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, or L.A., you are lucky dogs.

Seriously, where to start when describing Hair Envelope? Hard to classify these kooks. Hair Envelope is a concoction of electronic circus jazz and experimental pop sounds infused with utter silliness to make really wonderful music.But then again, what do I know?...
Their sound, has a bit of that Talking Heads insanity to their vocals, but really Hair Envelope is a band that makes music for the fun of it. Hair Envelope is all over the place with their sounds, the type of music that needs to be listened a few times. But after listening to these guys, their madness starts to wear off on you and your see their genius is their ability to go from one musical extreme to another, while weaving a unique musical narrative. It will leave you wondering how did they pull it off?

I swear, while listening to their EP(Shareholder Report), I was taken from an all out Ornette Coleman-like horn-infused buzz to a funny rag time piano tune and back to them rappin' about "beats." And that was only on three of the tracks. The more I listen to these guys, the more I realize that ultimately Hair Envelope is really good at mixing electronic and rock together with a funny attitude that will take you for a musical journey that is truly unique. Definitely worth checking out.

Part Crazy. Part Jazz. Stir it all together with a nine-piece band that is bohemian to its core, some lunatic fans that love them and what do you have? The Pleasure Circus Band, which is starting to pop up all over Los Angeles...
What you get with this band is the power of a stirring and funky brass section of saxes, rhodes and electric bass, jamming along to the power of some celestial power they must channel when they perform and make music.

The Pleasure Circus Band is a doozie of a musical experiment blossoming in LA. There next show is on May 18th on isgoodmusic. I would definitely check them out.
