I’ve only heard a couple songs from the upcoming Breathe Owl Breathe album Magic Central, and I couldn’t be more intrigued. This trio live and work in a Lincoln Log cabin in deep rural Michigan, where these songs were written and recorded, born out of their experiences living there. Magic Central is set to release 9/28 on Hometapes. I’m really diggin’ this one, “Swimming.” |

Urgency is Superhumanoids debut ep, and it’s been tickling my earbuds all week. I’m having trouble classifying their sound; they’ve got this Tears For Fears vibe for sure, but there’s definitely more to it than that. It’s new wave 80s in all the right places. Head over to their site to stream/download the entire ep for yourself. Pre-order Urgency on vinyl here. |

Can’t get enough of this song! Here’s the terrifically retro video for Here We Go Magic’s “Collector,” off their latest, Pigeons. Check ‘em out here in Dallas @ The Loft on August 3rd w/ Beach Fossils. |

Pete Hobbs, the other half of the indie-pop duo The Boy Least Likely To, is working on his own in a side project called Diving At Dawn. “A Lot Like Love” is his first song — a soft, genuine, and heartfelt acoustic tune with chiming pianos and finger picked nylon guitars, set to a tape delayed backbeat of floor toms and side sticks. This being his first effort going solo, I’m looking forward to seeing what else he’s got in store for us. |

The Spires’ Curved Space EP has had some serious playback in my car over the past couple weeks. Like I mentioned before, they’ve got this refreshingly simplistic lo-fi pop sound that makes for an EP that I can’t get enough of. It’s not officially out until July 13th, but in addition they will also be releasing Absent Minded Window Gazing, a five-song collection of tracks from Curved Space, that have been reimagined and remixed by the mysterious Grafton. It’s fantastic! Grafton, whoever he/she is, has given The Spires’ songs a whole new feeling and mood. With minimalistic industrial soundscapes and fuzzy undertones, Absent Minded Window Gazing is the perfect companion for those late-night drives. Here’s the original track, “Curved Space,” along with Grafton’s remix. |

| I’m really diggin’ this EP. Wonder Winds is Marmalakes first release and it’s jam packed with lively & catchy folk-pop tunes. From track 1 to the last, the EP grabs your attention and keeps it warm and snug throughout its short and sweet 23 minute run time. Hear the entire EP here, then head over to the Cactus Cafe in Austin on July 9th to check out their EP release show. Here’s my favorite off the EP, “Ode To Johnnie Martin.” |

| Here’s another feel-good summertime jam from Slow Motion Love Hug. Sean Wintrow treats us to another warm and fuzzy tune that is the perfect soundtrack for lazin’ around the pool soakin’ in the rays and sippin’ on an ice cold lemonade. Cheers! |
