We love Run Toto Run‘s music here at Eardrums, and when the videos match their music so perfectly as this one, we love Run Toto Run’s videos too. This colourful and creative video is directed by Nick Bentley, and this is just how I see Run Toto Run’s music: colourful and creative… Run Toto run has several really good new demos up on their myspace, – songs that probably will be on their debut-album. This single, “Catch my breath” can … →
Shout Out Louds have made a video for the first commercial single from their new album “Work” titled “Fall Hard” (single being released digitally on February 2). It’s directed by Shout Out Louds bass player Ted Malmros and his brother Tom Malmros. “Work” will be released late February on Merge records. You can still get their free mp3 “Walls” from the band’s website (zip-file): http://www.shoutoutlouds.com/Walls.mp3.zip The Swedes will be touring North-America in May, and these are the venues: 01 March … →
I have planned to write about This is Head several times, but for some reason, the words have never found their way to the screen. The band from Malmö, Sweden, have released a vinyl 7″ and a 12″ in limited editions + digital downloads on klicktrack/itunes, and soon, their debut full length album will be released by Adrian Recordings in collaboration with the band’s own label Enkelt. When This is Head finds titles for their releases, they do it “enkelt” … →
Aahhh! A new single from Chariots of Tuna is better than Christmas, and this one is actually better than most things I can think of! I adored their debut single, as you can see from my review, but the band has really progressed since then, and this is even better than I had dared to hope for. The songwriting is even more to the point, the vocals are more focussed and better, and these two songs are two gorgeous pop-treasures … →
UPDATE: Jason from the band has updated us on the release-options of the album. See below for a comment from both me and him. I’m satisfied now! Brooklyn’s Boy Genius will release their second album “Staggering” January 26th 2010 via Greenpop recordings. This band only gets better and better. I liked their debut album “Anchorage”. I liked their 2009-single “Blame Love” even more and I love almost everything on “Staggering”. I will get back to the “almost” later in this … →
The UK duo Paisley & Charlie have released a very nice two-track single on Holiday Records, and like everything else on the label, this is also released for free. “Sebastian (Come Home)” is a lovely piano-driven pop-song with nice acoustic guitar-details, a lazy beat-loop and a really good chorus that will stay in your ears after the music has stopped playing. While Charlie does the main vocals on this one, Paisley sings on the next song, “Marble Halls”. This is … →
This morning has been spent listening to Dimbleby & Capper, the solo project of the 22 year old Laura Bettinson from London. As she says on her myspace, “there’s only one of me, not two. The ‘&’ is insignificant.” Bettinson’s music is extremely catchy and playful,- full of soul and rhythm, and I bet that we will hear a lot more from her in 2010. Check out the fantastic “Slick Maturity” on her myspace page. Her debut ep will be … →
Just a short post today about one of my favourite bands, LAKE. If you haven’t got their albums already, get both their “Oh, the places we’ll go” and the 2009-release “Let’s build a roof” (both available from emusic and other digital shops). The band recently visited Daytrotter and did a wonderful session there. Check it out here: http://www.daytrotter.com/dt/lake-concert/20030508-3950.html (Lake also visited Daytrotter in 2008, here: http://www.daytrotter.com/dt/lake-concert/20030322-3950.html Click this link to see their new video for “Sing 99 & 90″, as … →
