Turbo Fruits Announce Tour With Pujol

Nashville group Turbo Fruits play a very specific type of smokey, BBQ-brand rock and roll. Apparently it is striking the right chord with a few people.

The group, named one of the five best new acts in Nashville by Spin, has announced plans for a U.S. tour with fellow Nashville natives Pujol (incidentally also on Spin’s list).

Furthermore, the group will be putting out a 7-inch on October 12th, called Where The Stars Don’t Shine.

Following their well-received debut album Would Work, the band is premiering its first video off of the album.

Violens Premiere New Video, Announce New Tour Dates

violens

New York group Violens (sic) just premiered their first single off of their upcoming album Amoral.

The song is called “Acid Reign (In Trees Mix)” and the video features Caroline Polacheck of Chairlift directing.

Here’s what she said about the video.

“The R&B version of “Acid Reign” is so deep (the way kids say “deep” in middle school), almost too close and lush for comfort. Jorge is from Miami, so when I heard the song, I imagined a Miami heartbreaker-alter-ego in passionate, solitary mourning.”

You can get a looksee at the new video right here.

CFCF Releases A Second Mixtape

CFCF (aka Michael Silver) has released a second mixtape into the wild.

Do U Like Night Bus? is out now via The FADER. What is a night bus?

“night bus is a silly little term that originated on Hipinion that describes not a certain genre but a certain feeling of music,” Silver Explains. “Can’t quite describe what it is but Eno, G-Side, David Sylvian, DJ Screw, Angelo Badalamenti, Lil B, and the Akira soundtrack, are all super night bus.”

Silver predicts that his music will be part of a much larger trend.

“We could imagine this mix as a zeitgeist as far as what might happen in music in certain circles in the next 365 days aka people are probably gonna be REAL INTO slowing shit down and kind of already are.”
