Kansas City’s Dan Eaton makes frenetic mellow music. It’s got that slow rumbling bass that you feel in your solar plexus on a big system, but is just chill enough for a late night makeout sesh. Throw in some 80s synth hooks and a warped glitch-art video and you’ll understand where he’s going with this.
Nathan at The Record Machine tells me the video was “inspired by Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper designs.” Directed by Mike Russo + Dan Eaton. Sport LP is out now.
Almost exactly a year ago we released a new ep from Saharan Gazelle Boy called Strange Teen Heart. We also released a fewvideos for a few of the songs made by multi instrumentalist member John Paul Giago. Well he is back at again this time with a video for Amy Needs A Vacation. Our good buddy yvylnyl was awesome enough to give us a premiere for it and call it favorite from last fall.
Saharan Gazelle Boy has mostly been on hold while Capybara has been finishing their new album but we have been hearing some rumblings recently that some new music is on its way soon.
Here is the brand new album from State Bird! We are excited to release their third full length album Healin The Pain. It was recorded at the Bunker in Brooklyn and then Mixed at John Vanderslice’s studio Tiny Telephone Booth. It is a full on departure of everything you previously had heard from the band. it takes the sound that they started to do last years Holy Spirits ep and takes it a step even further. Gone are the neo-folk sounds before and replaced with walls of guitar fuzz. Jam on!
The debut release for Ad Astra Arkestra is now available on iTunes. You can stream the entire record above. It will make its debut on 12″ vinyl next month. I Hear Local Music called the first single Reverse Fishing “It’s paranoid, unhinged and epic” We feel like that is a pretty apt description.
