Soft Moon Releases Haunting Live Video

TSM

The Soft Moon delights in a brand of fuzz-punk that leaves you feeling slightly uneasy in a good way. Luckily, Moon (aka Luis Vasquez) has released a video for one of his live performances. The haunting music is even more affecting when it’s accompanied with the flashing, colorless video, as it is for the song “Tiny Spiders.”

Soft Moon released a self-titled debut late last year on Captured Tracks, and is now out touring behind it. Check out his schedule after the video (found here).

Young Man announces dates for SXSW

Young Man has received some internet love for his warm bedroom pop so far, with even Bradford Cox giving them a nod of approval.  Makes sense considering their tracks sound like they could have been recorded in a cozy attic or crawlspace, albeit with a window and some light.  Fresh off releasing Boy EP on Frenchkiss, Young Man intends to make the rounds at SXSW this year and has announced the date, time, and location of those shows (how nice!).  Not a minute wasted from the announcement, AOL Spinner included Young Man on its “Top 100 acts at SXSW 2011.”

Looks like everyone is telling you to go check them out.

Young Man SXSW dates:

Wednesday, March 16 – Official Frenchkiss SXSW Showcase At The Parish – Austin, TX
Thursday, March 17 – 1pm Set – Piano’s Party at Club 1808 – Austin, TX
Thursday, March 17 – 430pm Set – IGIF Presents Floating Fest At Lovejoy’s – Austin, TX
