I’ve neglected Newdust over the past few months to focus on school, and I feel terrible. But guess who graduated? This guy.
Anyways, enough horn tooting. I was reviewing ketones in my urinalysis notes, the chemical formed from the catabolism of fatty acids, and a common finding in the urine of patients who are starving, fasting, or have diabetes mellitus. Boring? Extremely. Totally worth it, though. I thought surely there’s a band out there called ‘The Keytones.’ Found ‘em, and I’ve been jammin’ their sweet rockabilly tunes ever since.

My sweet, sweet Marmalakes. Ever since their epic Newdust house show, these dudes have been rockin’ it solid in ATX, playing more shows then my fingers can count. Check out this fantastic acoustic performance of “Septimus Warren Smith” in this (equally fantastic) Red Swing Project video. Come help them celebrate their new EP In Arnica, at their release show @ the Austin Sottish Rite Theater May 5th.
Here’s a sweet track from longtime lo-fi electronic artist Luis Solis, aka Bacanal Intruder, off his latest limited edition cassette release, Do While, If Else. The album reflects the crafting of Solis’s sound throughout the last decade, a bold mix of folk, “toy-pop”, and ambient rock.

I got my wisdom teeth removed yesterday, and as I drifted off into a sweet, nitrous oxide & IV anesthetic-induced slumber, this sweet tune was just ending on kxt through my headphones…It was a transcendental experience. Here’s Gotye’s “Somebody That I Use To Know,” a somber conversation between exes in a terrifically executed pop duet, off their latest album Making Mirrors.
Le Sheik Rhat is the latest from four-piece surf-pop rock outfit Naive Thieves, a stellar EP that somehow managed to dodge my radar for almost a year now. Great guitar licks, soft, tasty beats, and killer melodies are jam-packed into this six track EP, making for one heck of a listen. Swing over to their bandcamp to purchase a digital or hard copy.
Here’s some sweet jazzy underground beats to get you through your Monday blues. Henry Smithson, aka Riton, lays down some great downtempo tunes, mixing synthesized p-h fat beats alongside old school jazz vocals on “Put That On My Momma” from his 2001 LP Beats Du Jour. If downtempo isn’t your thing, he seems to be on an 80s dance kick as of late. Check out some of his latest tunes on his website Riton Time.

Chamber-pop folk quartet Seashell Radio releases a light-hearted music video for “Bromide,” a song from their 2010 release What Do You Have Against Happiness? The band takes us through a bachelor’s daily routine as he prepares for a date that, unfortunately, doesn’t work out for him in the end. The video has a sweet little “closing credits” bonus song, too.
