Beachwood Sparks – The Tarnished Gold

Something to look forward to. The new Beachwood Sparks album The Tarnished Gold will hit the stores and my heart on the 26th of june. It will be a tough task to wait a month for this beauty. Beachwood Sparks is a band that I love dearly and especially the debut album holds a very special place in my heart. Canyon Ride and The Reminder. Oh my. They were truly stunning back then. Sweet harmonies, west coast country sounds and psychedelic pop melodies. Based on these two songs I’ve heard from the upcoming album, they are nowadays equally stunning. More about this when the album actually comes out. I just had to make an early start, because this is something that I’m extremely excited about.

Video of the Day #101: Hallelujah The Hills

I’ve been meaning to post this Hallelujah The Hills video Get Me In A Room for a while now. At first I thought it was just alright, but I keep on getting back to it and nowadays I think it’s damn good. There must be something very addictive about it. I can’t say I’m too familiar with this Boston-based indie rock group at this point. I only found Hallelujah The Hills few weeks back when Gregor from Captains Dead started praising their new album No One Knows What Happens Next on twitter (and that guy has a great taste in music). I finally downloaded the album a couple of hours ago and I’m really liking it so far.
