State Bird - I Saw The Light from Mostly Ghostly

Here is a moment we have been wanting to share with you for a long time. You can even go over to Pitchfork.tv and check this video out with several others(yes that pitchfork). This video has been several months in the making. Countless hours were put into the stop animation of the video by TRM partner Mike Russo. Hopefully the song and video make you want to get out of your seat and dance right along with us.

For the August Song of the Month we actually have 3 songs! It is the rest of the new State Bird EP entitled 4 New Songs. They recorded the songs live with a few overdubs before their appearance at a summer festival. Originally there was only 50 copies made but we all loved the songs so much we wanted everybody to get their hands on it.  Feel free to download and pass around the ep. If you want to support the band please purchase their full length Mostly Ghostly.

We have been getting some reviews of State Bird’s new single and MP3 of the month. We are going to be releasing the entire 4 New Songs ep on Monday August 18th from our website.

From Tuneage

“I Don’t Love U Anymore” comes off their upcoming EP 4 New Songs and does a great job of showcasing what the band does well. Plus, for a title that implies downtrodden subject matter, the song is surprisingly bouncy, and I think it’s a great song for the pre-Friday blues.

Full Review: Here

From Mixtape Maestro:

Sampling musical textures from the Caribbean, South Africa and other sources of exotic noise, “Anymore” makes the always-awkward confessional ring with a jangly, effervescent glee.

Interstates debut record Run Run was reviewed by our French friends Beehave.fr

In French:

Run Run illuminera votre été de moments forts dans n’importe quel contexte, et il y a fort à parier que vous deviendrez vite accros aux souvenirs qu’évoqueront pour vous les géniales mélodies de cet album.

Translation:

Run Run will illuminate your summer(s) with powerfull moments whatever you go through, whatever you’re up to, and wherever you are. And you can bet you’ll get hooked to all the memories those marvelous tunes will print into you.

Full Review: French / English Translation

Our newest artist Max Justus got a review of his first single called Seven. A Limmerick Ox called it:

With backbeats steadier than the Rock of Gibraltar, synth pads glowing like sharp, glittering neon, and keystrikes coming at you like laser beams, it’s your smooth, sunglasses-at-night theme for whenever it’s just you against the naked city.

New Press:

Instrumental Analysis:

You have hollering, chants, horns and intermittent walls of sound. Throw in some Pilgrims and you’d have one hell of a party.

Quiet Color:

I never thought I’d like a track called “I Saw the Light” not by Bat for Lashes. My itunes is confused.

July MP3 of the Month: State Bird - I Don’t Love U Anymore

This month’s song is brought to you by State Bird.  If you have followed the label at all this year you would know how much State Bird has been at work. They have spent quite a bit of the year on tour and promoting Mostly Ghostly. Right before they headed off to Cornerstone this year they decided to record 4 new songs live at their home studio.  "I Don’t Love U Anymore" is one of the ep’s many gems.
