The Hush Now – 3rd Album ‘Memos’ – June 17th

Boston, Massachusetts indie-pop rock quintet The Hush Now unveil their highly anticipated 3rd album. Described as “audio candy for the art school crowd”, compared and influenced by bands from a wide array of genres, such as My Bloody Valentine, Guided By Voices, The Cure and Hall & Oates, they continue to release consistently great albums that have matured and progressed, with the latest release introducing even catchier hooks and more subtle guitars.

SXSW and CMJ appearances plus plays on BBC 6Music and internet exposure of the self-titled debut album helped to fuel interest while the band got to work on the second album, “Constellations”, which the UK music review described as “a little Stone Roses, a dash of Guided By Voices, a smidgen of Flaming Lips and a dose of Yo La Tengo; one of those classic pop tunes that pop up from time to time and catch you pleasantly off guard.” After having made an impression on music critics and fans alike, they began to create “Memos”.

Written entirely by the band and produced, mixed and recorded by well known Mad Oak Studio’s head engineer and producer Benny Grotto, who has worked with the likes of Aerosmith and The Dresden Dolls, “Memos” may be their strongest, quality album to date. Upbeat melodies and catchy hooks reminiscent of bands like The Smiths open the album, before taking you through a jazzy, nocturnal ballad and a song with an air of a late 90s club sound.

The Hush Now are: Adam Quane (guitar/vocals), Noel Kelly (guitar/vocals), Barry Marino (drums/vocals), Pat Macdonald (bass/vocals) and Jon Rosen (keys)

Download:Kyle Andrews – “The Way To Wonder”

Singer-songwriter Kyle Andrews is still intent on making everyone smile – and thus he announces the release of his next album, Brighter Than The Sun July 23^rd via his own Elephant Lady Records imprint. He has several deliriously catchy albums under his belt and has become best known for his 2010 hit “You Always Make Me Smile.” The song was featured in a worldwide ad campaign and the videogarnered 2.2+ million views & was shot during an attempt to make the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest water balloon fight.  “The Way To Wonder” begins with light acoustic-guitar strumming and handclaps, quickly building up to an epic climax.

San Fermin Announces Debut Self-Titled Album On Downtown Records+Sonsick (Stream)

San Fermin Announces Debut Self-Titled Album On Downtown Records on September 17th

Brooklyn musician Ellis Ludwig-Leone, the songwriter and composer behind San Fermin, has announced his signing to Downtown Records and the subsequent release of his self-titled, debut album San Fermin on September 17. Ludwig-Leone, who studied music composition at Yale University, envisioned the album’s concept prior to writing the music or knowing who would perform it. Pulling inspiration from Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, he conceived the album as a dialogue between an earnest, unhappy man and a cynical, elusive woman. Upon Ludwig-Leone’s graduation he traveled to the Canadian Rocky Mountains where he wrote the album over the course of six weeks. “Writing for a group of unknown musicians gave the writing process a kind of operatic scope,” Ludwig-Leone says. On his return he enlisted the help of longtime friend and vocalist Allen Tate as well as female vocalists Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe (Lucius) to give voices to the characters he developed.

A pastiche of post-rock, chamber-pop and contemporary classical composition, San Fermin is strongly influenced by Ludwig-Leone’s unique background in classical music, and the album fittingly features instrumentalists from the likes of Bon Iver, yMusic, and Asphalt Orchestra. A composer of instrumental music as well, Ludwig-Leone recently finished a ballet score for BalletCollective (comprised of New York City Ballet members), to be premiered by ACME at the Joyce Theater this summer, and is currently arranging a piece with Sonic Youth‘s Lee Ranaldo for the Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop. He is an assistant to the composer Nico Muhly.

Coastal Cities new video for “Nothing Ever Changes”

‘Nothing Ever Changes’, is the second track from Coastal Cities’ forthcoming double A side single ‘Entropic / Nothing Ever Changes’, to be released through Once Upon A Time Records on 3^rd June 2013. The one-vocal line chorus and prominent synth lines of ‘Nothing Ever Changes’, bolstered by some very neat duet guitar work, show that Coastal Cities don’t just write songs, but write future festival classics. You can see why they couldn’t chose an A side for the single, and went with the double.

The video for ‘Nothing Ever Changes’ is a minimal, slick and highly produced product that really portrays the band’s exceedingly sharp look.

James Younger -Monday Morning (Stream)

James Younger left his home town of Manchester in Britain at the ripe young age of 21 and headed for the States. He hitchhiked across America, dissecting life in conversations with all those he came across and scribbling down stories in a notepad he kept in his breast pocket. These conversations and stories became the seeds that would grow into his debut album of pop/rock anthems, Feelin’ American – out on June 25 on Light Organ Records.

Anne Marie Almedal – Memory Lane

ANNE MARIE ALMEDAL ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM ’MEMORY LANE’ OUT JUNE 3RD THROUGH +47/PROPER MUSIC DISTRIBUTION AND RELEASES NEW VIDEO FOR “WINTER SONG”

Memory Lane is the latest album to showcase the visionary folk of Norwegian songstress Anne Marie Almedal.

“Memory Lane” is a sweeping collection of songs, timeless in sound, a panorama of nostalgia, with flashes of psych-folk, cinematic classicism all wrapped up in Anne Marie’s powerful voice. Her personal history takes in stints with art-rock groups, features with the likes of Dazed And Confused, long tours and long days – but as she settled in Norway with producer, and British husband, Nicholas, they began to collaborate on a more intimate sound – one influenced by seminal folk records, acoustic instrumentation and the icy, spectral surroundings of their adopted hometown.

From the subtle, sparse production twinned to a beautiful melody of opener “Back To Where It Started” right through to closer “The Wanderers”, the album skits back and forth between the organic sounds of their 60′s and 70′s folk influences through to a telling sign to their location – a confident approach to modern pop warmth twinned with the dark, introspective lyrics that the Scandinavians have been doing so well in recent years, the confidence is unmistakable. The record contains both hooks and heart, a testament to Anne Marie’s songwriting and vocal skills.

Already building further success in her home country of Norway, the support of legendary producer John Wood and folk legend Danny Thompson should help her find a place amongst the folk audience and wider in the UK too.

Produced by Nicholas Sillitoe.

Mixed by John Wood (producer/engineer for Nick Drake/John Martyn/Incredible String Band/Nico/John Cale/Cat Stevens/Kate & Anna McGarrigle/Pink Floyd).

Features:

Danny Thompson (Pentangle/Nick Drake/John Martyn/Kate Bush/Talk Talk/Everything But The Girl)

Kjetil Grande (Grammy award winning guitarist),
Katharine Blake (Miranda Sex Garden)
Conrad Lambert (Merz)

Recorded & mixed in Kristiansand, Norway & State Of The Ark, London.
