Reminds me of Hysterics if they had a production budget.
Lest you worry that Savages might’ve lost it since their unfuckwithable debut, I present to you this new song they played at a recent stop in NYC.
I was just listening to Elsa’s I Do EP about a week ago and wondering if they were still kicking around, and *huzzah* a new song from the band magically appears. If I’m being completely honest, this one hasn’t clicked with me yet, but they built up enough goodwill with their previous work for me to give “Never Come Down” a few more listens.
Seriously, though, you’ve heard I Do, right? What a great debut. Just enough dream in their pop, these kids.
Well isn’t this convenient timing? Jim just played the original “Davey Crockett” on the show this Sunday, and then Hinds (fka Deers, who released two of my favorite singles last year) go and post up their stellar cover of the classic.
Toronto noise strikes again.
Let’s go Outback tonight. There’s been a ton of great live albums being pumped out lately, especially from Third Man and Castleface. Polyvinyl is throwing their hat into the ring with Snare Lustrous Doomings, a live Of Montreal LP with a tracklisting that reads like a greatest hits album.
It’s just about that time of year for Thee Oh Sees to inevitably drop a new LP. “Web” is off Mutilator Defeated at Last, out May 18th on John Dwyer’s own Castleface Records. If the rest of the album follows suit, it seems like it will be of the Carrion Crawler/The Dream variety of Oh Sees burners, as opposed to their more Kinks-ian leanings featured on last year’s Drop.
…and if you were curious as to how “Web” sounds live, I’ve got some good news for you! Check out the video below.
Looking to kill some time on a lazy Sunday? Settle in and watch this documentary on the Tuareg Desert Music Festival that took place near Timbuktu in 2011, just months before rebels overtook the area and began enforcing sharia law.
Once you’re done with the film and checking airfare to Bamako, why don’t you tune into the radio show tonight? We’re on 9PM til midnight every Sunday. 88.3FM if you’re in Pittsburgh, or streaming at www.wrct.org everywhere else in the universe.
