Sonny Smith :: This Is My Story, This Is My Song

I've been mesmerized by the music of San Francisco's Sonny Smith from the moment I first heard his breakout 2009 single, "Too Young To Burn." Whip-smart, playful, and timeless, Sonny's music draws on everything from classic folk singer-songwriters like Woody Guthrie and Jonathan Richman to Doo-wop, Beat poetry, surf-rock, and 50s girl groups. Releasing music under his own name, with his band the Sunsets, and in fictional groups that utilize a revolving cast of friends like Earth Girl Helen Brown (Heidi Alexander of the Sandwitches), Zig Speck and His Specktones (Ty Segall), and the Loud Fast Fools (Tim Cohen of the Fresh & Onlys), Sonny has earned a reputation as one of contemporary music's most prolific and creative talents. And Sonny doesn't just churn out records—he makes consistently great ones, like this year's superb Hit After Hit. Don't believe me? Dial the time machine back 10 years and play This Is My Story, This Is My Life—his second release, and a classic.

Luke Temple :: Don't Act Like You Don't Care

Don't Act Like You Don't Care may have been recorded at the same time as Here We Go Magic's debut LP, but the album, once referred to as the "Country Record," is a far cry from the hazy dream world of songs like "Fangala" and "Tunnelvision." Temple, inspired by jazz recording engineer Rudy Vangelder's early work with Blue Note Records, recorded the songs to a 4-track in two 4-hour sessions with a handful of friends and microphones. The result is a warm, intimate, and playful collection of songs that prove more instantly rewarding than anything Temple has concocted as Here We Go Magic. Channeling characters like Fats Domino and Harry Nilsson, Temple's songwriting and voice are driven to the forefront here, feeling as timeless and confident as ever. From the microphone static that coats the solo acoustic guitar sung "Ballad For Dick George" to the 4/4 electric piano-driven jaunt "More Than Muscle" and irresistible bluegrass-tinged "Ophelia," Don't Act Like You Don't Care often sounds like a lost bit of dusty attic or thrift store found treasure—a freshly dusted-off surprise that this fan can't wait to play again and again.

Don't Act Like You Don't Care is out August 16th via Western Vinyl.

Goodbye Portland

I'll miss the record stores, especially Mississippi; I'll miss the parks and farmers markets; Dove Vivi's cornbread pizza, Por Que No's chorizo tacos, and Broder's pytt i panna; the beer, especially Upright #4; affordable everything; seeing bands at Doug Fir, Mississippi Studios, and the Cherry Sprout Produce Market; having an independent coffee shop that roasts their own beans on every corner; surfing on the coast; the crowd at last Thursday; the three different color-coded recycling bins; and the bike paths. (I won't miss the endless rain nor the pretentious and jaded bartenders; the lack of jobs; or the people who stop at intersections when they don't have a stop sign.) But most of all, I'll miss sipping coffee in my hammock on the front porch, especially on a sunny Sunday morning with a book or newspaper in hand, as kids and dogs play, yell, and bark in the park across the street. Goodbye Portland.

Woods - "Find Them Empty"

The prodigious catalogue of Brooklyn's Woods continues to grow. Following their impressive June-released full-length, Sun & Shade—one of Everybody Taste's favorites of the year—Jeremy Earl and company will be releasing a 7" on July 19th via their Brooklyn neighbors, Sacred Bones. The 7" features two new tracks: "Find Them Empty" on the A-side and "Be There" as the B-side. Preview the A-side below, and if you're sold on this crunchy psych-garage single, head over to Sacred Bones to pre-order.

Video: Beach Fossils - "Adversity"

The Beach Fossils have put out of one the year's best EPs in What A Pleasure. Over 8 songs, the band's clean-toned and highly melodic guitar-driven pop finds its way into your ear's every nook and cranny and digs it's soft reverb-coated claws in deep. But it's not with force or complexity, rather, the Beach Fossils secret weapons are old pop standards: simplicity and repetition. Snag the essential vinyl at Captured Tracks.

Your New Favorite Band: Hundred Visions

Matt Oliver's Twitter account continues to dish out excellent musical recommendations. After introducing me to the new "Wino Strut" single by his former Sound Team bandmate Bill Baird, Oliver mentioned a band he'd recently recorded at his Big Orange Studio in Austin for Daytrotter: Hundred Visions. The band, also from Austin, is a juggernaut of rollicking drums, deeply rhythmic guitars, and resonant and wailing vocals. Over the course of the debut three-song "Last Cab From Tunis" 7", it's easy to fall under the spell of Hundred Visions' ferociously propelled post-punk fuzz, Southern-brewed funk, and playful sprinklings of cowbell and handclaps. And according to their Daytrotter session, they sound even better live. Clearly, this is a band that's going places. Make sure to grab Hundred Visions' Daytrotter set and buy their digital 7" (with accompanying vinyl on the way) from Bandcamp.

CSS - "Hit Me Like A Rock"

São Paulo electro-pop band and Apple commercial veterans CSS—an acronym for Cansei de Ser Sexy or "tired of being sexy"—have returned with their first new single since 2008, "Hit Me Like A Rock." The fantastically bubbly and synthy track features an excellent guest turn on vocals by Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie. The song is a cut off the group's forthcoming third full-length and supposed return to form, La Liberación, due out on August 29th. CSS have also created a mixtape for the baking of an apple pie. Don't ask me why, but you can snag that right here. (via)

Best of 2011: The First Half

THE BEST ALBUMS

1) The Sandwitches :: Mrs. Jones' Cookies
"In 2011, there is perhaps no band more aggressively honest and loyal to their distinctive sound than the Sandwitches." Review
The Sandwitches - "Lightfoot"

"He's In Love With Janie Jones"

He's in love with rock 'n' roll.

He's in love with gettin' stoned.

He's in love with Janie Jones.

There may be no better verse in rock and roll than that one above sung by Joe Strummer on the Clash's 1977 eponymous debut album. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll—the popular music's mission statement and mythos—is whittled down here to just three simplistic lines. As Nick Hornby put it in High Fidelity, it's one of the "five best side one track ones of all time" (though on my US version, it's the first track on the second side).

Strummer and Mick Jones wrote the song about English singer Marion Mitchell, who went by the stage name Janie Jones and achieved notoriety by donning topless dresses, playing a role in bribing BBC Radio 1 disc jockeys with sexual favors, and singing the kitschy Halloween single "Witches Brew." While Jones's novelty music won't impress many these days, the song that she inspired The Clash to write and record sounds as fiery, raw, and immediate as ever.

Summer Camp - "Nobody Knows You"

One of last year's biggest blog sensations, Summer Camp, have dropped a new track via Pledge Music, a fundraising site geared towards helping bands release records. "Nobody Knows You" finds the London-based duo in typical top form: catchy vocal melodies, buzzing synths, and big sweeping choruses all intact. Download the track below and make sure to follow the band either on Facebook or via Pledge to keep track of news on their forthcoming full-length.

The Skatalites :: Plus

As Motown had the Funk Brothers—the incredibly talented Detroit session band that played on the label's every hit, from "My Girl" to "Tears of a Clown"—Jamaica and ska music had The Skatalites. A group of extraordinary jazz musicians that included players like saxophonist Tommy McCook and trombonist Don Drummond, the Skatalites were one of Jamaica's first and finest ska bands, recording with vocalists like Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, and Toots & The Maytals.

Plus, also released as Skatalite!, is the fifth release by producer Duke Reid's Treasure Isle label (named after his family's liquor store) and contains 12 tracks culled from recordings he cut. Songs simply don't get better than the Justin Hinds sung "Carry Go Bring Home," which I gushed about separately a few months back, or the playful Stranger Cole and Queen Patsy duet "When You Call My Name." And the instrumentals here are just as compelling, if not more so. Take the cheerful jaunt "Yard Broom" with its walking bass line and dynamic trading solos by tenor saxophonists Rolando Alphonso and Bobby Gaynair and trombonist Rico Rodriguez. There's truly few genres of music this fun and celebratory, which some attribute to Jamaica's independence from the UK, achieved in 1962 just as the ska sound was taking off. It's tough to find this on vinyl, but do yourself a favor and pick it up digitally via Amazon or iTunes.

And if you haven't heard Bob Marley's first hit, "Simmer Down"—written in 1963 to quell the violence in Kingston—you're in for a treat. Hear that beautiful brass? That's the Skatalites.

John Gold :: A Flower In Your Head

"I spent about eight years living in this apartment on Wilton Place in Hollywood...it had everything I needed: a nice tube amp with a few shelves of LP’s, plenty of musical instruments, and a couple good microphones... My mom gave me our upright piano that now doubled as a desk to write on. When I was a little kid, Harry Nilsson made up a song for me on that same piano. I had a feeling that someday I’d sing songs, too. " — John Gold

Harry Nilsson? Yes, Los Angeles native John Gold clearly grew up surrounded by music. Thankfully, that pours over into his own songwriting. Within the first minute or so of Gold's third full-length, A Flower In Your Head, you get the sense this guy not only knows exactly what he's doing, but he's probably playing half the instruments and fussing over every knob in the studio. The songs here are all densely-packed with layer after layer of rich sonic treats: from bubbling bassy synths to emotive polyphonic strings, giant drums, and playfully sung and whispered chorusing background vocals. Combining elements of power-pop, country, and rock with psychedelic and classical music, Gold's palette is as diverse as it gets. But the record's grand production and varied instrumentation only serve to supplement the songs, not supplant them. Gold knows it's all about the song: the lyrics, the melody, the killer hooks, not just the glitter and glam. And in the end, that's what makes tracks like the piano-thumping "Skyscrapers," giant bass-driven "Honeymade," and the album star, "Baby It's Your Life"—co-written and previously released by Benji Hughes—so irresistible. "You got to have fun with your life," suggests a chorus of voices on "Baby It's Your Life." And on A Flower In Your Head, it's clear Gold has taken his own advice.

Analog Edition Zine: The Role of the 7" in 90s Lo-fi Rock

Every week, one article from the print edition of the Analog Edition Zine will be added online, until all 64 pages are available.

This week, check out "The Role of the 7-inch in the Lo-fi Rock Movement of the Early 90s or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Hiss" by Jason Dean of the daily blog, 7 Inches. In his detailed and insightful history, Dean argues that "Lo-fi democratized the music of the time, a musical revolution as important as the psychedelic evolution of The Beatles or The Ramones' invention of punk rock."

After the jump, read Dean's article and listen to a selection of the lo-fi cuts he discusses by bands like The Mountain Goats, Smog, and Pavement.

Mister Heavenly: Eccentrically Super

With a cast that includes Man Man's Honus Honus, the Islands' Nick Thorburn, Modest Mouse's Joe Plummer, and—as a touring member—actor Michael Cera, Mister Heavenly is easily one of the more bizarre supergroups in pop music's history. Honus and Thorburn are the two larger-than-life musical personalities that dominate this outfit, instantly flying their respective freak flags and taking over songs like "Pineapple Girl" with ferocious hooks and eccentric lyricism. The two are an irresistibly odd pairing. Take the gravely Honus Honus-sung verse in "Pineapple Girl" that begins, "I don't desire to be a clueless creature / Just waltzing through the woods, waiting to get eaten." Two Honus lines later comes Thorburn's verse: "I am besieged by the vagaries of power / I'm all alone and lonely in this tower / I'm not that evil but there are some people / I might have to harm them, don't mean to alarm you." It's almost too much: the absurd metaphors, the wordy banter, the violence. But because the melodies and musicianship are so sharp and dynamic, it works. And it's damn good.

Mister Heavenly's debut LP Out of Love drops August 16th via Sub Pop.

The Rosebuds - "Woods"

When not making soft-rock jams with Gayngs, Ivan Howard is one half of North Carolina duo The Rosebuds with Kelly Crisp. The pair, once married but now split, have been releasing albums together since their 2003 debut The Rosebuds Make Out. Their 2005 song "Blue Bird" happens to be one of my all-time favorite tracks: a cooingly soft and meditative bit of pop that feels akin to dipping your ankles into a cool stream of water on a hot summer day. I can't say I've been quite as affected by The Rosebuds since—that is until hearing the band's newest record, Loud Planes Fly Low. Take the intoxicating acoustic track "Go Ahead" with its shimmering wordless chorus and emotive organ; the electric piano-led, sensual, slow dance "Second Bird of Paradise," which takes a few cues from Gayngs; and perhaps most compelling, the grand, explosive, and rollicking single "Woods." Married, split, whatever—Howard and Crisp know how to make music together, and here, they are in top form pulling at all the right pop heartstrings.

Buy the Loud Planes Fly Low now from Merge Records.

Fresh & Onlys' Mixtape for Italian Vice

The Fresh & Onlys made a mixtape for Italian Vice to help promote their recent tour stop in Milan. Here's a clip from the Vice article, rather hilariously translated by Google: "Each of the four wretched of the Tenderloin has chosen three songs. Three: as the Father, the Son and that other stuff that you salt when you take MDMA. So if you thought Sunday night to stay at home with the / your partner or just to get drunk in front of the TV with a bowl of orange Listerine taste the answer is NO. You must come to see the Fresh & Onlys." Snag the wonderfully eclectic mix after the jump. Also, make sure to buy the group's Secret Walls EP, released in April.

Futurebirds - "Wild Heart" (Live at Bonnaroo 2011)

The Futurebirds played the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, TN on Thursday and Archive.org has the full set up for download. The Athens band has already put out one of the year's best EPs in Via Flamina, and if you haven't caught the group in concert yet, you can now check out live renditions of some of those grand and gorgeously ramshackle tracks, like the Stevie Nicks original, "Wild Heart."

Bill Baird - "Wino Strut"

Matt Oliver of the great TV Torso recently linked via Twitter to the Bandcamp page of his former Sound Team bandmate, Bill Baird. Waiting for me there was "Wino Strut," a woozy, warm, and ambient bit of psych-rock. This song has seriously crept it's way under my skin. I don't know much about Baird, just that he releases songs under his own name as well as the Sunset moniker, and has a serious knack for experimenting with analog recording. "Wino Strut," uploaded to Bandcamp just last week, was recorded in Austin at Baby Blue Studio by Quentin Stoltzfus of the band Mazarin (Stoltzfus wrote the incredible "Another One Goes By," popularized by The Walkmen). I highly recommend snagging Baird's "Wino Strut" from his Bandcamp and then exploring the musician's rich and eclectic catalogue over at Autobus Records.

Mathieu Santos - "I Can Hear The Trains Coming"

Ra Ra Riot bassist Mathieu Santos has a 7" coming out on Old Flame Records on July 26th. And yes, the shimmery summer single "I Can Hear The Trains Coming" has a wonderfully fun bass line (along with the odd background sound of a modem dialing up). The 7" is in an edition of 300 green-colored records and is paired with the B-side "Northern Mentality" (MIDI Demo). "I Can Hear The Trains Coming" will also be included on Santos's debut solo LP, which you can look out for later this year on Barsuk Records.

Pre-order the 7" at Old Flame Records.

Bluebrain - "The Pull"

Bluebrain are a Washington, DC-based duo that's done some incredibly inventive site-specific music in the past, including this beautiful mobile app-based album that's meant to be played while perusing the city's National Mall. This past Record Store Day, the duo teamed with DC label Sockets Records for another creative endeavor: a 7" that features an A, B, and C-side. What that means is you can play the A-side, "The Pull," the B-side, "The Push," and then play the two sides simultaneously to create the C-side. I don't know about you, but I want one—or two.

Update: Only about 30 are left out of the edition of 300.

Tashaki Miyaki: Mysteriously Groovy

Tashaki Miyaki is a mystery. All I know about her (or them) is there's a Bandcamp page and three songs floating around the interweb that are absolutely irresistible: simple and giant room-filling gain-heavy guitars and a pillowy soft voice, doubled up, and coated with an airy touch of reverb. Call it shoegazey, lo-fi, whatever. I call it pop music—and it's quite good. Here are two covers and what appears to be an original? Hat tip to Cactus Mouth, who features Tashaki in a wonderful covers compilation—Tears On My Pillow, Pt. 1.

Hot As Sun - "Come Come"

Here's a funky summer jam from Los Angeles-based band Hot As Sun. "Come Come," along with the rest of the duo's self-titled debut EP, was written on and inspired by the Omnichord. Here, bassy blasts from the Omni, bubbling synths, and a snappy snare lend the song a sweaty R&B and late-night dance party vibe. You can snag the rest of the Hot As Sun EP on Bandcamp.

Rumble PDX Tonight: Radiation City, My Goodness & Housefire

There's a free show tonight at the East End in Portland, OR featuring a three-headed monster of burgeoning young Northwest talent: Housefire, My Goodness, and Radiation City. Lately, I've been chewing on Radiation City's "The Color of Industry"—a Fruit Stripe-caliber stick of variegated pop bubblegum that absolutely bursts with flavor in its nods to lush Phil Spector production and girl-group harmonies. This richly addictive track is off the band's forthcoming LP, The Hands That Take You, out via Portland's Tender Loving Empire this Fall. But why wait? Catch the band perform the song live tonight—for free.

Review: Dawes :: Nothing Is Wrong

Dawes are rock classicists. They're not interested in reinventing the wheel or breaking new rock & roll boundaries—at least not yet. Right now, this Los Angeles quartet is simply grinding away and honing its chops. And on their sophomore album Nothing Is Wrong, those chops are mighty sharp. The four members of Dawes clearly grew up listening to the likes of Neil Young, the Band, and the Laurel Canyon crowd, as brothers Goldsmith and company play in a bubble of 1970s rock aesthetics with purring organs, room-filling guitar solos, and grand, sweeping, everyman choruses. But this is no nostalgia act nor rock revival. Dawes are very much a contemporary band with their own distinctive sound—they're just one that happens to appreciate the subtleties of recording live to 2" analog tape.

Woods cover Terence Boylan: "Who Do I Think I Am?"

As you may already know, I adore the new Woods LP Sun & Shade. I think it contains some of the band's finest melodies and pop hooks to date ("Pushing Onlys," "Hand It Out") along with what is perhaps their psychedelic opus ("Out Of The Eye"). Earlier today, I caught the Needle Drop's review of the LP and learned that another album favorite—"Who Do I Think I Am?"—is actually a cover. The song is originally by Terence Boylan and is off his 1968 record Alias Boona. While sites like Altered Zones, Pitchfork, and yes, Everybody Taste, dropped the ball on this interesting tidbit in their reviews, TND's Anthony Fantano nailed it (though I have to disagree with his opinion of the album). Check out and compare the two tracks below while you still can, as Alias Boona is unfortunately out of print and very hard to find.

A New Classic: Diego García's Laura

On his debut solo record Laura, Diego García, the Argentine-American singer and former frontman of post-punk band Elefant, channels a very classic and lush sound that at once recalls the intimacy of Leonard Cohen and the elegant production of Lee Hazlewood. Although García sings the entire record in English, the intonation and cadence of his singing voice often makes the songs sound as if they are in Spanish. It's a clever trick and one that pairs beautifully with the sharp flamenco-like lead acoustic guitar work. Over the record's 9 tracks, there's perhaps no moment more perfect than the chorus of the title-track, "Laura": García's sweetly heartbroken and pillowy vocals float on waves of reverb across a slow march of drums and a grand arrangement of strings. It's a rich combination of textures that might as well have been plucked off a 1970s Julio Iglesias or Nancy Sinatra record—simply timeless.
