The Horrors – “Weighed Down” (London, England) You can pre-order it here.īRMC are: Peter Hayes (vocals/guitar), Robert Levon Been (vocals/bass/guitar), and Leah Shapiro (drums). This single is from the group’s forthcoming seventh album, Wrong Creatures, that’s due in January via Vagrant Records. It’s an exhilarating ride from the start to its unexpectedly abrupt finish. By the time they unleash the fury at the first chorus, you’re in a full-fledged hurricane of heavy rock. The song starts out with the ominous churn of guitars that portend a coming storm. “Little Thing Gone Wild” has the same intensity as the tracks on their 2013 LP, Specter at the Feast, with plenty of gritty, punk snarl. Has it really been four years since the last Black Rebel Motorcycle Club album? Lest we doubt the San Francisco band’s brilliance and relevance, they have shared a scorching new track to melt our faces. You can pre-order it here.īlack Rebel Motorcycle Club – “Little Thing Gone Wrong” (San Francisco, USA) Hallelujah Anyhow drops September 22 via Merge Records. It’s another instant classic from the North Carolina folk rocker. We loved the twangy banjo on the album’s lead single (“ Standing in the Doorway”), but Taylor outdoes himself on this one. This gently rollicking track isn’t an all-out rocker, but it’s spirited and irresistible. “Domino (Time Will Tell)” has echoes of Nick Lowe and Van Morrison woven throughout. The album’s latest single proves why Taylor is a master of Americana. He’s already proven his talent with stellar indie releases (like last year’s Heart Like a Levee), but his upcoming Hallelujah Anyhow may be his best yet. Taylor will be regarded as one of this era’s finest songwriters. Years from now, Hiss Golden Messenger frontman M.C. RIYL: Van Morrison, Nick Lowe, Megafaun, Phil Cook Hiss Golden Messenger – “Domino (Time Will Tell)” (Durham, NC USA)
Nau is currently on tour in Europe until early October when he returns to the US for shows starting October 17 in Los Angeles. Some Twist is out now via the fine folks at Seattle label Suicide Squeeze Records while The Load arrives this Friday. It’s almost eerie how he channels My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James with soulful crooning. Nau sticks to basics here, letting the vocals shine with powerful intimacy. The simple acoustic guitar is the perfect vehicle for this understated song. “Diamond Anyway” is a pure gem of campfire charm that features the gorgeous vocals of Natalie Prass. Now he’s wowing us with a stripped-down outtake from an upcoming EP of outtakes from the Some Twist sessions. Earlier this summer we shared his “How You’re So For Real” single from his new album, Some Twist. We have been fans of Michael Nau for years, not simply because he’s an impeccable songwriter, but because his music has restorative powers. RIYL: Cotton Jones, Jim James, Kevin Morby We kick things off with a pair of true American troubadours and end with a pair of Portland artists. While not all six of the songs in this playlist are from the Americana genre, these selections run the gamut from folk and rock to electronic pop. Since the 18th annual AmericanaFest is happening this week in Nashville, the Melodic Tonic September 13th edition has a strong American focus.
