ArmyNavyPressPhoto

The California-based indie pop band Army Navy have now released their second album, The Last Place, through their own label, The Fever Zone Records! You can stream it in full at Aol Music. So you know what to expect, SPIN Magazine gave it an 8 out of 10, calling it “a feel-bad record you can actually feel good about.” Not entirely sure what that means, but judging from the first excerpt the band has made available for download, “The Long Goodbye,” it seems that Army Navy could easily seduce you with their sweet pop tunes. The band is also set to tour throughout the second half of the year so keep your ears out for more news!

Listen to “The Long Goodbye” below:

The band was formed in 2005 and this first track shows us exactly how well they’ve perfected their sound in those few years. You get to have a classic electronic dance beat mixed with an earthy feeling thanks to Mike Ingram’s banjo and a hint of the sound of horses riding in the background in the rhythm.

Song Review: Bright Eyes’ “Shell Games”

cover

“Shell Games” is the new single off Bright Eyes’ new upcoming album titled The People’s Keys. The song starts with Conor Oberst singing the metaphor-filled lyrics with the company of a piano. What seems to be a slow paced melancholic song is broken down by an explosion of synth, piano and drums that play in unison to create a great steady beat. With an almost electro-rock feel to it, “Shell Games” is a mesh of great lyrics and an interesting composition. Check out the song over at Pitchfork, and the new album cover above!

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.”

Parlovr Preview ‘Heaven/Hell’ on Stereogum!

Canadian power trio Parlovr have been exploding onto the scene with their infectious indie pop since their self titled debut was released in 2008 on Dine Alone Records. Since then the boys have been working on their upcoming EP Heaven/Hell/Big/Love which will be released October 19th.

The idea for the EP was based around a song “Hell,Heaven” which the trio were playing continually at live shows. Heaven/Hell/Big/Love was created as 4 or 5 pieces that weren’t directly tied together in a specific theme and were just written without any rehearsal before studio time. The result is an EP split with “Hell,Heaven” which is based on “thoughts of a childhood spent in the middle east” and “Big Love” which is about a “girlfriend who has the ‘look of a man.” Along with the two title tracks are “Where is the Sun” and “Tehching Hsieh” which both add surrealism and romantic dreaminess to the EP.

You can preview “Hell,Heaven” on Stereogum HERE and be sure to catch Parlovr at Pop Montreal October 2nd at Cabaret Just Pour Rire. The band will also soon be announcing US tour dates for this fall.
