Music is more of a force, able to stir one's emotions, awaken one's senses, and unite people under a common denominator. It is an essential part to my life.Mishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00096037532594922354noreply@blogger.comBlogger308125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526596130356653043.post-87097025497222564562014-03-03T11:04:00.000-08:002014-03-03T14:06:25.113-08:00A Belated FarewellWell hello there blogosphere! It's great to see you again! It has been a while since we've last spoken (over a year actually), and so it wouldn't surprise me if this post ends up being broadcast to an empty audience, but lately I've been feeling the urge to get something off my chest....<br />
<br />
It may seem random that I'm publishing this write-up after all this time, but that's kind of the point. Every once in a while I'll revisit Audio Splash and scroll through the archive for a variety of reasons; sometimes it's to pull up a piece of writing I liked so I can send it off to a potential employer, other times it's to refresh my memory on some of my favorite bands that I followed, but often it's to remind myself of what I am capable of creating when I have a passion and put my mind towards something. I started Audio Splash when I was 19 years old without <b><i>any</i></b> knowledge of blogging or coding, why? Simply because I loved writing and I loved music. It may never have looked professional, and it may have had its fair share of difficulties adapting to a fast-changing social landscape, but for nearly three-and-a-half years I found myself invigorated, teeming with the self-motivation and energy to write about music everyday and do my best to introduce the best musical content to my readers. No, it never did reach Hillydilly or Indie Shuffle status, but the fact that I carved out my own little niche, had dozens of bands e-mailing me for recognition, and developed friendships with emerging, talented musicians gives me a sense of pride. The fact that I played my own little part in promoting <i style="font-weight: bold;">their</i> story makes me incredibly happy.<br />
<br />
I loved managing Audio Splash, I really did. The excitement, the creation, the sense of community, the feeling of having power over something that was mine, the sense of being apart of something bigger than myself...it was infectious. So if that's the case, then where is Audio Splash now?<br />
<br />
Well, that's why I am writing this post. Whenever I happen to stop by Audio Splash I see an open-ended entity, a publication that was either dropped suddenly or given up on. The lack of care that was put into wrapping up a project that was so important in my life nauseates me. For whatever it's worth I feel like I owe an explanation for why I stopped, and on a personal level, I've realized I desire closure.<br />
<br />
The truth is, when I graduated college I left for a gap year on a soul-searching trip to try and figure out who I was and what my true ambitions were. I first fulfilled my lifelong dream of doing a ski winter, an aspiration I've held since middle school, and moved out to Park City to work at The Canyons Mountain Resort. While there, my friend told me of an employment opportunity in Peru that seemed right up my alley, which I applied to and luckily got the job. I stayed in South America for a month after to backpack around Peru, Bolivia, and Chile in what would be my first solo journey.<br />
<br />
I don't regret a single second of it. I learned more than I ever could've dreamed of over the course of those seven months, and I've never felt more <i style="font-weight: bold;">alive</i> than I did then. I needed it. I needed the chance to explore, to open my eyes to this stunning planet and grant myself the unique experience of becoming a more understanding, well-rounded individual. I needed to foster and cultivate my personal growth.<br />
<br />
The sacrifice, of course, was Audio Splash. I needed to work two full-time jobs as a ski bum to afford my outrageous rent in Park City, and so the very little time I had to devote to Audio Splash severely cut my availability to write, thus reducing the quality. I couldn't keep up with it the way I wanted to, and as the character of my posts started deteriorating, I began to lose satisfaction in what I had created. The time that I had always worried would eventually come finally caught up with me, and I came to the painful conclusion that it was time to end it.<br />
<br />
Why didn't I say goodbye? Why didn't I have the class to bid farewell and exit gracefully? The honest answer is that I'm not entirely sure. I don't think I wanted to believe that it was actually over, that I had given up on my brainchild and abandoned my mission. I wanted to believe that I could start it up again and continue doing what I loved. I always told myself I would bring it back, but that I would do it <i style="font-weight: bold;">right </i>and make the improvements I felt Audio Splash deserved. When I returned from South America after a few months, though, I had fallen out of routine. Having spent a long time out of the blogosphere, the world that once felt like home and gave me solace had become alien. I felt lost, and that scared me. As saddened as I was, the reality set in: Audio Splash as I knew it was over.<br />
<br />
So here I am, unleashing an outpour of emotion and putting an official lid on a chapter that should've been sealed away a little more than a year ago. I still miss it, oh boy do I miss it. I would love to start up another music blog and take the lessons that I learned here and apply them to something new. In fact, I just might do that, because I long for the feeling I achieved doing what I did. Before I do that, though, parting ways and saying adieu with <i style="font-weight: bold;">this</i> Audio Splash is a necessary step.<br />
<br />
With that said, I wanted to say thank you. I could never have maintained the blog for as long as I did, and with the passion that I did, if it wasn't for all of <i style="font-weight: bold;">you</i>. Without your support I don't think I ever would've had the motivation to march forward and deliver the content that I did. It was a wild ride, and if you enjoyed it even as much as a sliver of the amount I did, then I can lay this to rest graciously and joyously. If I ever do start another blog, then I hope to see you there for the next adventure.<br />
<br />
Thanks again. Seriously. It means so much to me. If it wasn't for all of you to keep me going, I never would've discovered this area of interest that gave me so much delight. I would be a different person without it. Thank you for giving me a medium of expression, a place where I could be myself. I will forever be able to look back at Audio Splash as my creation, something that was mine, something that makes me so proud to reflect on.<br />
<br />
For that, I will always be grateful. <i style="font-weight: bold;">Thank you</i>.Mishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00096037532594922354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526596130356653043.post-88159083684773805472013-01-08T10:12:00.000-08:002013-01-08T10:12:27.354-08:00Trails and Ways<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

By this point I think it's far to say that the Oakland four-piece Trails and Ways had a phenomenal 2012 year, pretty much bringing the house down on the blogosphere with popular tracks like "Nunca" and "Mtn Tune". It didn't take much to fall for them over here at Audio Splash, and apparently others were convinced too, for Trails and Ways has been scheduled to play at this year's celebrated SXSW Music Festival. Tying all of this in with the fact they came out with a fresh EP today, I'd say the band has gotten 2013 off on the right foot, setting themselves up for an explosive year (and hopefully a debut LP!). I don't want to get too far ahead of myself though, first things first; their new release is called <i>Detornar-se</i>, which is a Portuguese reflexive verb meaning both "to unmake" and "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A9tournement" target="_blank">détournement</a>". The former makes a lot sense considering that <i>Detornar-se</i> includes eight remixes of their previous singles that were stripped down to the bone and then rebuilt in a variety of musical styles. Some sound like a product of witch house, some include dubstep tendencies, and yet others seem indebted to synth pop. It's a must-listen for fans of Trails and Ways, and the best part is that they've offered it as a free download over on their <a href="http://trailsandways.com/" target="_blank">homepage</a>. Below I've posted two of my favorites from the EP, a Wallpaper. remix of "Mtn Tune" and a Bunnynoser remix of their "Sure Thing" cover. To stream the rest of <i>Detornar-se </i>(as well as check out other tracks) you can head over to their <a href="https://soundcloud.com/trailsandways" target="_blank">SoundCloud</a>, plus for more information and updates either <a href="http://www.facebook.com/TRAILSANDWAYS" target="_blank">Facebook</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/TRAILSANDWAYS" target="_blank">Twitter</a> works!

It has been a fun ride following Astronauts, etc. after the release of his debut single "<a href="http://audiosplash.blogspot.com/2012/08/astronauts-etc.html" target="_blank">Mystery Colors</a>". Since that day around five months ago, Astronauts, etc. (the solo project of Anthony Ferraro) has gifted us with hypnotic atmospheres and beautifully crafted melodies that drift lazily amongst the haze. It seems, though, that Ferraro has had an itch for experimentation, for his new song "Charity" takes all the aspects of an Astronauts, etc. composition and puts a darker twist on it. Although still full of synths, atmosphere, and hypnotism, "Charity" exhibits Ferraro's break from wistful textures and displays his more dramatic, haunting flare. I've posted the track below, which he offers for a free download, but if you'd like to hear more you can head over to his <a href="https://soundcloud.com/astronautsetc" target="_blank">SoundCloud</a> for some additional material. His <a href="http://www.facebook.com/astronautsetc" target="_blank">Facebook</a> page has more information if you'd like to check it out. Enjoy!<br />

A year ago today I was doing the same thing I am doing now, looking ahead onto a new year that is full of wonder and possibilities. There is no way I can fully know what to expect, and it's impossible to look into the future and get a solid grasp of what the music world will throw my way; right now, it's all up for grabs. What's going to be my favorite album of 2013? What is going to disappoint me? Which band will release a debut album that blows me away? These are the same questions I (and all of us for that matter) was faced with at the beginning of 2012. I didn't have answers, I didn't have a clue. It's for this reason that I love lists, if nothing else it's a reflection of the year that passed, a representation of the artists you listened to and the albums that grew to symbolize a small segment of your life. It's all there, neatly organized in a countdown. For me, that's why I do lists. I don't do them because I want to brag about what I listened to, nor do I think my list is better than everyone else's. No, I do it because it gives a certain portrayal of who I am for that year, it shows what I was into and what I cared about. Going through the years of previous lists, it's fascinating to look back and see how I've changed and how my music tastes shifted. Each list fills in the answers that you asked yourself at the beginning of each year, and it exhibits that child-like excitement and curiosity that you felt 12 months prior. To go back and observe that introspection is a wonderful thing, and the best part? You get a chance to do it at the beginning of each and every single year. The music side of me now has a clean slate going into 2013, and whenever a part of you has an uncertain future, how can you <i>not</i> help but feel a flurry of anticipation? That's how I feel now, and that's how I felt then, way back in January of 2012. Now, though, my questions have been answered, and 2012 will slowly disappear behind us (but that doesn't mean we won't forget it) as new and inspiring music makes its way into our ears. So, without further adieu, here are my favorite releases of the year that passed....<br />

So there ya have it, 2012 in a nutshell! As with every list I'm sure you agree on some while you completely disagree with others, but that's the beauty of music...no one has to agree on anything, we all just listen to what we like. Anyway, I look forward to what will hopefully be a stellar 2013 music year, there are sure to be some great releases heading our way (Beach Fossils and Toro Y Moi, I'm looking at you) as well some debut hopefuls (ON AN ON, my fingers are crossed!). Here's wishing everyone a happy new year, and hoping that your holidays were merry! Thank you all for reading, it has been a pleasure writing for you, and I hope to see you guys soon!!!</div>

The last time that I <a href="http://audiosplash.blogspot.com/2012/07/summerays.html" target="_blank">checked in</a> with Summerays, the solo man Luke Teeters' newly released single had me feeling nostalgic about my college life and the graduation of some of my good buddies. But that's what beach rock tends to do to me, instill some nostalgia, and Teeters is wonderful within this style of music. In preparation for the release of his debut album, <i>Summer Daze</i>, Summerays has premiered yet another winner through the blog <a href="http://start-track.com/" target="_blank">Start-track</a>. The leading single is called "Ahoy There!", and it's what you'd expect from an idea born in the sandy coasts by the water. The short, sun-filled, feel good ditty is accompanied with another new song, "Sunshine", which has been released via a music video. Have a listen to both below, and then visit <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Summerays" target="_blank">Facebook</a> for more information. <a href="http://summerays.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a> and <a href="https://soundcloud.com/Summerays" target="_blank">SoundCloud</a> also have some additional tracks from previous releases. And remember! Keep an eye out for <i>Summer Daze</i>, which will be released Bandcamp style on January 1, 2013 on a pay as you want basis. Get ready!<br />

Ahhhh yes, the last Friday before the Christmas holiday week kicks in to full gear. Well as the stress builds leading up the 25th and shopping crowds pack into malls like sardines, here's a little gem to help you take your mind off things. "Fairy Flash", the new song from the French producer CIRC, is a hypnotic lullaby of sorts, attacking the seratonin receptors of the brain. As the busy shopping times are upon us, let this cradle you in a blanket of warmth. Head over to <a href="https://soundcloud.com/circ" target="_blank">SoundCloud</a> for some more tracks.<br />

EIMIC is a little tough to figure out; the band is currently located in Moscow, and as such a majority of their information is in Russian. I can't speak the language, and I sure can't read it, so finding out about them is a little more difficult than usual. With this in mind, here's what I <i>am</i> able to tell you: the group contains three members, they've released two LPs in the past (<a href="http://eimicmusic.com/4" target="_blank"><i>4</i></a> and <a href="http://eimicmusic.com/automaticmovements" target="_blank"><i>Automatic Movements</i></a>), and they've recently released a new song called "Illusion". Judging from their photos, it also seems like they've been around the block a few times, having already garnered a pretty steady following. Their pictures display large, elaborate <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150848976759217&set=pb.47375754216.-2207520000.1355958511&type=3&theater" target="_blank">light shows</a> complete with <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150861401819217&set=pb.47375754216.-2207520000.1355958511&type=3&theater" target="_blank">backdrops</a> dedicated to their name, and seem to show that they've played in <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150956942269217&set=pb.47375754216.-2207520000.1355958511&type=3&theater" target="_blank">festivals</a> that have attracted nice volumes of people. I could see "Illusion" fitting that mold very well, for the sound is massive and ambitious. Using some electronics to help their point, EIMIC (which stands for <b>E</b>verything <b>I</b>s <b>M</b>ade <b>I</b>n <b>C</b>hina) is able to create an arena-filling, atmospheric rock ballad that is driven home with distorted, fuzzy guitar licks. Put on some nice headphones and you're in for an experience! I've posted "Illusion" below, including the psychedelic music video if you're interested. Afterward, check out more of their stuff on <a href="https://soundcloud.com/eimicband" target="_blank">SoundCloud</a>, with more info coming at you from <a href="https://twitter.com/eimic" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/eimicmusic" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, and their <a href="http://eimicmusic.com/" target="_blank">homepage</a>. Happy deciphering!<br />

The Philly glo-fi group Work Drugs has begun prepping music fans for their 2nd album, so consider yourselves lucky, because that means new songs. Arriving in time before the apocalypse, the band has put out a new single in celebration of their two year anniversary, "Young Lungs". At least now we have two days to enjoy it before the world ends. "Young Lungs" contains a lot of what you would expect from Work Drugs; it's a smooth, synth-filled jam complete with their newfound tool, the sax. The difference is that "Young Lungs" is one of their noisier, more complex tracks to date. Here, you won't find much empty space, and it's nice to see that extra capacity being used. As mentioned before, "Young Lungs" will appear on their sophomore album, which is slated for a 2013 release. Have a listen to it below to get a first taste. For more, you can visit their respective <a href="http://www.facebook.com/workdrugs" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/workdrugs" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, <a href="http://workdrugs.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a>, and <a href="https://soundcloud.com/work-drugs" target="_blank">SoundCloud</a> pages.<br />

Over the past couple of the weeks I've begun to realize that New York City's disco-infused group THAT WORK is one of the metro's best kept secrets. Having only released three songs without an EP or album to their name, the band appears to be hidden with only 228 followers on SoundCloud and 390 likes of Facebook. I am sure those numbers are going to skyrocket in the upcoming months, for these guys are just too good for them not to. Their most recent song, "Act Like You Know", carries a synthy flare much in the same light as Holy Ghost! When stripped to the bone, THAT WORK's material is indebted to older disco influences yet also finds ways to incorporate sounds that are much more relatable to the modern era. "Act Like You Know" continues this pattern, coming across as an edgy, cutting jam that leaves the perfect amount of room for a dancing option. I've posted their new song "Act Like You Know" below, along with an older track entitled "Secret Lover". Check out their <a href="https://soundcloud.com/that-work" target="_blank">SoundCloud</a> for other songs and remixes, and then hit up <a href="http://www.facebook.com/THATWORKNY" target="_blank">Facebook</a> for any extra info. Enjoy!<br />

What I wasn't expecting was how well they were going to go about it. Hints, a four-man group, is pretty new to the scene, having just released their first single <i>Vol. 1</i> on November 20th. Despite this, the band has already displayed a wonderful sense of craftsmanship; they sound confident and self-assured about the style they're trying to achieve, putting out two songs that are consistent in the jangly, bass-heavy, upbeat new wave genre that dominated the '80s. The first track on the single, "Ritual", even includes a wonderfully constructed guitar solo that sets up "Built a Church" quite fashionably. The great thing about <i>Vol. 1</i>, though, is that it's not a exact replica of what you would expect from the era they're indebted to. Hints are not about the overdone synths, the cheesy dream effects, or the corny lyrics, for at the base of it all they're a fantastic rock band as well, extending a welcoming hand even to those who may be turned off from the '80s no matter what the cost. Check out "Ritual" and "Built a Church" below, and then head over to their <a href="http://hints.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a> to snag a free download.

Philadelphia's dance pop band Potpourri of Pearls writes the kind of music that makes your ears perk up. Soaked with influences of disco and '80s-era synth pop, Potpourri of Pearls has a quirky style that is unusual in just about every aspect. Their debut album <i>Why does Coco cry?</i>, which came out in late November, will keep you guessing around every track. Part of the reason for this is that their music contains dozens of elements and goes through a multitude of changes. Just listen to "Shadow on My Shoulder"; at times the song seems void of sound, almost coming across as no-wave, while at other moments it's entrapped in a haze of atmospheric synths. Sometimes it's a mix of both. At the very least I've got to give credit to them for experimenting, they've certainly created a unique, and oddly catchy, world within their album. To get a hold of <i>Why does Coco cry?</i> you can head over to their <a href="http://potpourriofpearls.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a>. You can also take a visit to their <a href="https://soundcloud.com/potpourriofpearls" target="_blank">SoundCloud</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/potpourripearls" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/PotpourriOfPearls" target="_blank">Facebook</a> for more.

Stumbleine has been around for a while, dishing out beautiful atmospheric dream beats at a high rate since 2010. Whether it be a single, EP, or full-length LP, Stumbleine has dominated the front page of Bandcamp's chillwave tag, partly due to the incredibly expedient distribution of material. There has been so much, in fact, that a large majority of prior output has been removed from the internet, and yet there still remains an adequate pool to experiment with and listen to. While I have not followed Stumbleine voraciously throughout this time, I must say that this year's new album, <i>Spiderwebbed</i>, is the most-developed and cohesive that I've heard so far. I had always liked Stumbleine, but over time I began to feel he had fallen into a repeating run-of-the-mill chillwave sound, a common problem within the genre. <i>Spiderwebbed</i> proves me wrong, putting my money where my mouth is; from start to finish we're treated to an inescapable dream-filled landscape of swirling electronics, the main element being the swirling, spacious synths that soar to striking heights. Each track delivers its own charm, switching tempos and alternating tones, to give a remarkable listening experience. He has also added subtle accents of dub beats, which have really paid off, presenting <i>Spiderwebbed</i> with a unique flare. Enough of me, to actually listen to or buy the album take a visit to <a href="http://stumbleine.bandcamp.com/album/spiderwebbed" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a>, and then head over to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/stumbleineuk" target="_blank">Facebook</a> to show some love.

Today I was introduced to the Atlanta-based duo New Animal, and while I might be a tad tardy on this one it's better late than never, right? The band consists of members Kris Hermstad and Derek Burdette, two dudes who have been buddies since their middle school days. Despite all the years, they didn't collaborate musically until 2010, after which they put together three releases over the course of a year, including a self-titled debut. The range in their songwriting is impressive, touching upon a multitude of genres and writing styles including kraut rock, lo-fi, and electronic expressions. What caught my eye, though, was their most recent single "Falling Up", which came late this summer. If this is the culmination of everything they've done then I can't wait to hear what comes next. In an atmospheric haze of psychedelic pop, "Falling Up" is an emotional reflection on "the ability to let go", an idea that is captured using somber tones mixed with a high-pitched, brooding vocal track. Check it out below, then hit up their <a href="http://newanimal.net/" target="_blank">homepage</a> or <a href="http://www.facebook.com/NewAnimalNewAnimal" target="_blank">Facebook</a> if you want to learn more. <a href="http://www.spinner.com/2012/09/25/new-animal-falling-up-free-mp3-download/" target="_blank">Spinner</a> is offering a free download if you choose to use it.<br />

Don't you love it when your day gets off on the right foot? I woke up today, quite unenthusiastically, expecting a day full of bullshit classes when all of a sudden I found out that Beach Fossils had announced a new album and single. In one full swoop my day became much, much better. With bassist John Pena involved in his solo act <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpm0IcFOL8M" target="_blank">Heavenly Beat</a> and lead guitarist Zachary Cole Smith doing his <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_nnRIuRsos" target="_blank">DIIV</a> shindig the past year, I wasn't sure when this was going to happen. Alas, the answer is here now; <i>Clash the Truth</i> will be released on February 19th, 2013 via the always brilliant <a href="http://capturedtracks.com/artists/" target="_blank">Captured Tracks</a>. Along with the announcement they have also released the first single from the forthcoming LP entitled "Careless". It's instantly recognizable as a Beach Fossils brainchild, utilizing carefree guitar riffs that glisten with every pluck. The track is also drenched with lush atmospheres, indicating that we might see a bit of a divergence from their past work. Have a listen below, and then pick up your gift of a free download <a href="http://soundcloud.com/capturedtracks/beach-fossils-careless-1/download" target="_blank">here</a>.

Around a month ago I posted on the then new single, "<a href="http://audiosplash.blogspot.com/2012/11/villa-kang-hazy-mountains.html" target="_blank">New Wings</a>", that was released as a compilation of Villa Kang and Hazy Mountains. I had known about Villa Kang for quite some time prior as I had covered him on previous instances, but Hazy Mountains was a relatively new name to me. I went to do a little investigative work and ended up downloading his second EP, <i>Lapis Lazuli</i>. The days following this have been wonderful, and exploring his music has become quite a treat. What really put me over the edge in helping me realize this was the last track "Window Vision", which I first heard while blasting in my car on a late night drive. To fully appreciate this song, and much of his others, you've got to listen start to finish. "Window Vision" is a perfect example of the never-ending sprawl Hazy Mountains tries to achieve, using soaring synths to set aside an expanse of dreamy spaces. The wait, the growth, the build...it's all worthwhile. Have a listen to "Window Vision" below, then be sure to head over to <a href="http://hazymountains.bandcamp.com/album/lapis-lazuli" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a> to grab it. There, he is also offering a new album called <i>Breeze</i>, something I'll most definitely be checking out in the future.<br />

Gifted with a heavenly voice that floats comfortably on top of a beautiful construct of wistful guitars, it's no surprise that the main vocalist of Foxtails Brigade, Laura Weinbach, anchors the San Francisco band's new single "The Unloved". The tracks comes off of the group's newly released album, <i>Time Is Passed</i>, which actually came out two days ago on November 27th. "The Unloved" is a delicately put together piece of drifting strings, gently guiding each and every note along slowly. The subtle picking, accented with drawn out violins and fragile percussion, creates the dreamy wash that looks at the "lonely and forsaken". The end result is quite gorgeous, and is worth a listen even if just for Weinbach's mesmerizing voice. I've posted an embed below for streaming with another track available on <a href="http://soundcloud.com/foxtailsbrigade/tracks" target="_blank">SoundCloud</a>. If you're looking for the album <i>Time Is Passed</i>, you can find it on their <a href="http://foxtailsbrigade.bandcamp.com/album/time-is-passed" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a> page.

It's hard to imagine that the Sydney band the night was once a solo project. At this time the whole goal was recruiting guest musicians and having them appear on any future releases, which they did in 2008 with an EP. Now, the whole one-man band idea is a distant memory with six members making up the team. Most recently they've been busy prepping their six track EP, <i>i am, and say.</i>, for an early 2013 release, and their driving single is "Like This". The track solidifies the group as a unit, not a solo endeavor; it's full of sounds that build up and crumble, spreading the strings over a three-and-a-half minute spectrum that simmers as it builds. "Like This" also includes a tinge of melancholy, the emotion seeping through the empty spaces of the song, thus helping the band sound genuine and honest. Check it out below, then hit up the <a href="http://soundcloud.com/thenightishere" target="_blank">SoundCloud</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thenightband" target="_blank">Facebook</a> pages.

After a busy afternoon of running around, all I wanted to do was kick back with some music to calm my racing mind. I was lucky, because Neeco Delaf's new release "Walking Alone" was just what I needed. The song isn't entirely fresh, though; it appears on Delaf's debut album <i>You Don't Know</i>, which came out earlier this year on October 7th. The version that appears on the LP is largely instrumental, give or take a few whispered vocals, but this recent reenergized rendition incorporates the beautiful voice of Rubyrax, a musician from Toronto. The addition is absolutely stunning, and it complements the slow, drawn-out beats of the original "Walking Alone". The track is chill by most standards, giving you a legitimate reason to lay down with a good pair of headphones and close your eyes. I feel like my brain is dripping with a tranquil serum. I've posted "Walking Alone" below for you to find out for yourself, then be sure to head over to his <a href="http://soundcloud.com/neecodelaf" target="_blank">SoundCloud</a> for some extra songs. You can also purchase <i>You Don't Know</i> over at <a href="http://neeco.bandcamp.com/album/you-dont-know" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a> with additional info over on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Neeco-Delaf/161709843928921" target="_blank">Facebook</a>.

So I come back from Thanksgiving break and amongst the e-mails I received in my past week of dormancy is one from the Swedish group Last Lynx. Lemme tell ya, the quintet from Stockholm hit it right on the mark...their new song is just what I wanted to hear to kick things back into the gear. "Killing Switch" is the newest song to come from Last Lynx and the first original tune being released for about 11 months. The track has instant likability, hooking the listener with a steady drum beat and infectious guitar lick. The bass helps carry the song throughout its duration, aiding the edgy rhythm in cutting forward. All in all "Killing Switch" is undeniably catchy, and it's sure to warrant multiple listens. Have a listen to it below, then be sure to head over to their <a href="http://soundcloud.com/lastlynx" target="_blank">SoundCloud</a> for more tracks and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/LastLynxMusic" target="_blank">Facebook</a> for more info on the band.<br />

When it came to starting Mr. Moccasin, the duo that comprises the band has been quoted as saying that they wanted their music "to play with impossibilities and chance". One doesn't need to look far to see why; lead singer Hanna Badalova was born in Baku, Azerbaijan where she developed an interest for poetry, a hobby that would act as a medium for telling the stories of her family fleeing genocide in pursuit of greener pastures in Baltimore. It is here that she met Jared Fischer, who shared a passion for music and had actually been in a band for quite some time. Somehow, someway, despite starting their lives half a world away from each other, the two met. Chance; it's what Mr. Moccasin was born from. While this isn't an entirely uncommon occurrence in the world I mention it because it's important to the band's identity, and it shines through in the group's new single "Black On Black". Coming from the forthcoming album <i>XAHA</i>, the track is an adventurous dive into the use of atmospheric, guitar-driven rhythms. "Black On Black" draws a line between rock, folk, and punk, incorporating such styles and sounds without putting too many cards into one genre, instead coming across as universal. Still, utilizing these aspects Mr. Moccasin is able to create a unique quality that sounds as equally ambitious as it does genuine. Considering their history, anything else would be a surprise. Check out "Black On Black" below, and then be sure to grab the song for free over on <a href="http://bleekrecords.com/track/black-on-black-2" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a>.<br />

If there is one thing that can be said about Josh Kumra's new single "Waiting For You", it's that his inspiration for the song comes from a wide array of origins. He uses his raspy vocals to accentuate the underlying blues, acoustic, and rock tones that serve as the foundation. As "Waiting For You" builds along its path, Kumra creates drum beats and guitar licks that appear to lurch forward in an attempt to escape the speakers its caged in. The accumulation of these separate elements creates a unique and catchy song, one that makes it clear why he has been growing in popularity across the pond in the U.K. "Waiting For You" is the first track available to hear from Kumra's upcoming album, which doesn't have a title or official release date yet. Still, if anything "Waiting For You" clearly displays Kumra's songwriting potential, and will certainly get a majority of people excited to hear the full LP.

Sometimes it's just nice to get lost in the wash of breezy, jangly guitars and cavernous vocals that comprise the dream pop genre. The instrumentation has a funny way of lifting the listener skyward, suspended along a journey, until the song gently places us back on solid ground. "Location", the current single from the Brooklyn band Backlights, follows a similar methodology. Starting with slow and delicate guitar picking, "Location" begins to take off near the middle of the song, introducing us to busier noises and more enthused vocals. The build of energy pulls us in, bringing the listener through a wonderfully serene sonic voyage. The track comes to us off of the newest EP by the band, <i>High Ceiling Nice Fiction</i>, which was released earlier this year on October 20th. As of now, <a href="http://backlights.bandcamp.com/album/high-ceiling-nice-fiction" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a> is offering "Location" as the singular stream on the EP with other songs available for purchase (as well as the EP, obviously). I've posted "Location" below, so be sure to check it out, and afterward you can find out more by visiting their <a href="http://www.facebook.com/backlights" target="_blank">Facebook</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/backlightsmusic" target="_blank">Twitter</a>.

The Philly boys are at it again! Work Drugs, the glo-fi outift that has steadily increased their popularity over the past couple of years, is out with a new single entitled "Beyond Greenpoint". Singing about the life outside of "micro-bloggers, designer dogs, and high priced haircuts", the new song slows down the tempo and adds their smoothest saxophone to date. This time around, Work Drugs is coming at you with a little bit of charity as well. Over on eBay, the band is offering up <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=321018468753" target="_blank">one test pressing</a> of their new album <i>Delta</i>, which is only one of four copies in existence. The best part is that 50% of the proceeds go to the Hurricane Sandy Red Cross Fund, a worthy cause in light of the recent storm. What's more is that Work Drugs has also released a music video to go along with the new track, it's a video collage produced by the Italian artist Marco Scago. I've posted the video and audio stream below with an available download located on their <a href="http://soundcloud.com/work-drugs/beyond-greenpoint/s-2x95T" target="_blank">SoundCloud</a>. For anyone interested in seeing the band live, they have two shows coming up; one on December 8th in Philadelphia at Ortlieb's Lounge and another at the Glasslands in Brooklyn on December 22nd. Be sure to check it out!<br />

It's been a while since we've heard from Villa Kang, with approximately six months separating his newest single, "New Wings", from his last, "Touch of Evil". In whatever he has released, Villa Kang has done a great job of allowing atmosphere to seep into his songs. Even way back on "Hallucinating Arkansas" we feel a sense of space, like his synths are trying ever so hard to break free from the room. The newest track finds the Toronto producer refining these ideas, and teams up with German musician Hazy Mountains to do so. The matching is ideal, the glo-fi oriented ambient Hazy Mountains complements the need for Villa Kang's cavernous melodies. To tie it all together, "New Wings" has a fluttering chorus that acts as both unique and familiar, like something you've heard before that you can't quiteeeee put your finger on. The song is available for streaming below, but you can head over to Kang's <a href="http://soundcloud.com/villa-kang" target="_blank">SoundCloud</a> for a download. He also has <a href="https://twitter.com/villa_kang" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/villakang" target="_blank">Facebook</a>.

A lot of times I get the feeling that garage rock gets misrepresented as being dirty or grungy, and occasionally I get the sense it's a personal attack on a genre I respect so much. Clearly, that's not the case, and every once in a while I have to remind myself of that. The Aves, a Brooklyn-based quartet, have helped to further prove this fact with the release of their sophomore <i>Anywhere Else</i> EP. Indebted to older garage acts, The Aves carry that influence and yet are able to morph it into a clean, jangly style. "In Vogue", the stand out track on <i>Anywhere Else</i>, exhibits the group's ability to tap into a pop-oriented mindset and churn out unique, melodious, and addicting rhythms. Here, you will find no dirt or grunge, but instead an infectious garage rock tune that warrants one's attention. Check it out below, and then head over to their <a href="http://miradorrecords.com/the-aves-anywhere-else-ep/" target="_blank">page</a> at Mirador Records for a download of the EP. Happy weekends everyone!<br />
