Fazerdaze Releases New Video
Today we have for you, "Little Uneasy" from Fazerdaze (Amelia Murray). Check out the Garth Badger directed video below.
You can pick up "Little Uneasy" HERE.
Today sees the releases of a new video for recent single, Little Uneasy which Amelia explains is a song; "about trying to be ok with uncertainty, and being kind to yourself in those times while you figure out what the heck you’re even doing. So with that, I quite like how I’m not too confident on the skateboard, I'm a bit unsure of myself and I feel that works with the song lyrically."

The Goldhearts Release New Album
Today we have for you The Goldhearts. They've just released a new album that made me think of Belly, the band, not my mid-section. This album would have fit right in with the 90's women fronted rock bands of the time. Check out the track "Here's The Thing"
The Goldhearts released The Rise and Fall of the Goldhearts on May 27. You can pick it up HERE.
The Jacques Release New Single
The Jacques released their new single, "Eleanor Ring Me" on May 20. Check it out below.
You can pick up "Eleanor Ring Me" HERE.
Two minutes and thirty seven seconds is probably the perfect length for a pop song. Eleanor Ring Me could well be that song. Revolving around a riff that will stick in your brain, a voice that rasps out the words and a beat that walks along the sidewalk this is the sound of a band about to embark on their next musical journey.
Stage Republic Releases New Single
Today we have for you "Big Blue River" from Stage Republic. The single was released May 19. Check it out below.
You can pick up the single HERE.
Stage Republic produces Pop music with a little bit of the eighties and a lot of now.
From their home in Amsterdam, their music is reminiscent of eighties superbands like Duran Duran or Peter Gabriel, underpinned by strong Dutch beats and Raven's trademark voice.

If I Dropped By…with Haley Bowery of The Manimals + Show Details
Today, we dropped in on Haley Bowery of The Manimals.
The Manimals are taking part in Spring Fling 98 at the Knitting Factory this Sunday, May 29. Doors are at 6:30PM and it will cost you $10…more details after our visit.
Here's what we found out when we dropped by.
* * *
Quirky NY Chick (QNYC): ... and brought a friend who didn't know your music, what song of yours would you play for them and why?
Haley Bowery (HB): “Teeth” from our new album, SEVEN. It’s a concept album and it veers into a few different styles that are new for us, but “Teeth” still feels like classic Manimals. It’s a glam-rock stomper with tons of attitude that belies its emotional core.

Gypsy & The Cat Release New Video

| Photo credit: Charles Lanceplaine |
Check out "I Just Wanna Be Somebody Else" from Gypsy & The Cat. The clip was directed by Thom Lawrence. You can pick up the single HERE.
Gypsy & The Cat's Xavier Bacash explains the video concept was created by the duo's director and friend Thom Lawrence, who was ultimately conducted by the song itself. "The video highlights escapism in all of our quotidian days. We all at some point want someone else’s car or house or hair or job or life; it’s a very normal mental process in the everyday," he says.
"At the golf range, we felt it was important to show how people are so close to each other and out for the same thing, but at the same time they are like islands that won’t ever touch or speak."

Augustines To Play Rough Trade NYC, 6/30 + New Album

Doors: 8PM / Show: 9PM

The Augustines are set to release their new album, This Is Your Life on June 10. You can pre-order it HERE.
Their third album sees Augustines experimenting and traveling down new roads. Drummer Rob Allen elaborates: “we wanted to spread our wings a little bit on this record. We had in the past flirted with samples and what-not, but never really on the percussive side. We had great fun messing and experimenting with older analog instruments like 808’s and 909’s as well as more modern instrumentation, like the Roland Spd-SX and Maschine. For me it’s clear. This record shows we’ve tried to grow as musicians and not stay in our comfort zone. To grow as people. To improve”

Emily Jane White To Release New Album In July
Emily Jane White is scheduled to release her fifth album, They Moved In Shadow All Together on July 8. You can pre-order it HERE. Check out the beautifully bewitching "Frozen Garden" below.
The 11 songs on They Moved in Shadow All Together focus conceptually upon the symptomatology of trauma, a pattern of experiences marked by a fragmentation of the self. These songs contend with the impact of trauma on individual and collective identity – the shattered pieces within the psyche left to cope after tragedy, and the dissociative co-habitance of belief and disbelief that results. White wrote “The Black Dove” in support of the anti-racist struggle against police violence. In “Womankind,” she mourns the continuing epidemic of violence against women, and the silences that suppress the truths of survivors.
White’s new body of work recounts for us the terrain of her empathic inner world. The breadth and depth of her maturing voice are evident. Her layered vocals effect a sense of camaraderie, a space populated with voices, angelic perhaps, definitively ethereal. She studied classical singing while working on this album, which enabled her to broaden her vocal range.

The single is from her new album Modern Times…see, the title fits in tying it all together. Check it out below.

Sweet Jane Releases New Album

| Photo: Tajette O’Halloran |
Sweet Jane, Sime Nugent and Alice Keath, released their new album, Monday to Friday on May 13. Check out the hypnotic and hazy "Everything Changes" below.
You can pick up Monday to Friday HERE.
A lot of the songs on Monday to Friday speak to the contrast between the vast and the minuscule, the profound and insignificant, facts and feelings; growing up and realising how fallible our beliefs, memories, and aspirations are in a post-Santa reality, and where to look for that wonder we all seem to need once we realise we're just monkeys wearing runners. We didn't want to explain it as we're no closer to knowing, but it was good to let ourselves hang out there for a while.”

Desert Sound Colony Release New EP and Video
Desert Sound Colony released their new EP Signals on May 13 as well as a video for the title track. Check it out below and you can pick up Signals HERE.
Lead track Signals emerges draped in mystique, blending an intricate guitar loop with whispered intimacy and a dash of dance-floor ambience. Displaying the band’s careful hybrid of intimate song-craft and chugging grooves, Signals weaves a beguiling spell. B side Moon Juice ascribes to their deeply melodic and psychedelic aesthetic with guitar licks and fleshy bass-lines building into a deep and charming press-repeat lullaby.

Photographer Adriana Mateo Releases New Book
Adriana Mateo debuted her new book earlier this week. The book, AM Jazz: Three Generations Under the Lens, features a collection of black and white photos of jazz artists around the world.
The black and white photos, some hundred in all, are shot on the sly. The photographer is present, invisible, her camera a silent instrument. The focus is on details of what is happening inside the studio or on stage as musicians work together. "Capturing these particular moments was very special for me. I can remember each one," says Adriana. "They represent a bond I form with these artists."
You can pick up AM Jazz: Three Generations Under the Lens HERE.

Hanging was one of the first songs we wrote collaboratively. Spencer was working with this cool 3/4 groove when I heard the sideways breakdown section. We ended up with this sort of psychedelic doo-wop number about things turning upside down.

Phantoms Release Cover of JJ Cale Penned Classic

"We've wanted to do a cover of an older song for a while. Nothing was really coming to us until last Friday when we were a few drinks deep and ended up at a Thai karaoke restaurant at 3AM. This young Thai man was doing an electric guitar cover of 'Cocaine' by Eric Clapton, but he wasn't singing, so we jumped on stage and sang along with him. It must have been in the haze of vodka and pad kee mao that we decided we should cover it as well." - Phantoms
