News: The New Tigers

No Comments

The New Tigers is an excellent fuzzy pop group that was recently signed to Nick Triani’s new label, Soliti. Their debut album is scheduled to be released on 21st of september, but you can already download the first outtake from the upcoming album. Pocketful Of Sand lasts eight minutes, which according to onechord.net’s unofficial rule book is at least five minutes too much. But I suppose this tune must be one of those exceptions to the rule, because I enjoyed each and every second of it. A wonderful song. I’m looking forward to the album. The press release namedrops Yo La Tengo and Galaxie 500, if you want to get some kind of idea before hitting that play button below.

Brown Bird – Salt For Salt

No Comments

Brown Bird duo from Rhode Island is getting prepared to release a new album Salt For Salt. The album will hit the stores and your heart in october, but the first single Fingers To The Bone is already available. In general, their dark folk might seem a bit scary for a pop fan at first, but in the end the quality of the songs won my heart over. Fingers To The Bone is such a great song. I’m looking forward to the album.

Sloan – The Double Cross

No Comments

The name of this blog/website already shows that I love Sloan. One Chord To Another is a classic Sloan album. Therefore it’s an amazing disgrace that I still haven’t reviewed their latest album The Double Cross. And I still don’t do much more than just say that the new album came out in may, it’s once again awesome and close to full amount of hearts. This amazing Canadian power pop / indie rock quartet is currently celebrating their 20th anniversary. Hopefully they stick around for another 20 years, because they are still one of the best bands around. This is a song called Unkind from the new album.

That’s all for now, but hopefully a full review later on. Perhaps I should do some kind of Sloan special now when onechord.net is celebrating 10 year anniversary. Something like One Chord to Another reviews One Chord To Another and The Double Cross.

Pickering Pick – Tiger Balm

No Comments

The latest release from my new favourite label, Yer Bird Records, is Pickering Pick’s wonderful new album Tiger Balm that came out on june 21st. Mr. Pickering Pick is able to write both heartbreaking and heartwarming songs and he has created a stunningly beautiful folk album that has the quality to go deeper than where any doctor could reach. The whole thing is a sweet work of art. If you don’t take my word for it, just listen to this amazing song called Like A River.
