SSG Music Reviews Kaia's Latest "Two Adult Women In Love"!

"With anywhere from two to six years between releases, Kaia’s inspiration has come in sporadic batches. Her music relies on candid reflections of her sensitive affectations to relationships, the music industry and (unsurprisingly) the Portland weather. Her fifth solo effort, Two Adult Women in Love, is an earnest culmination of the Oregon native’s teenage angst, mercurial love life, and overlooked songwriting abilities." Keep reading over on SSG Music.

MY OLD KENTUCKY BLOG LOVES OZARKS' "PYRAMIDS OF LOVE" VIDEO

"Ozarks is the main musical outlet of Robbie Augspurger, a suave and dapper young fellow with a fab cookieduster who, with the help of his buddy Eric Lee, records music that is hopelessly anachronistic, but somehow works. The duo’s self-titled debut drops on July 10th, and disarmingly charming lead single Pyramids of Love might just be the most carefree two minutes of your hump day. Have a listen.

MP3 : Ozarks – Pyramids of Love

Now that you’ve listened, feel free to move onto the video, which on the other hand, is maybe a little creepy. Something about those black leather gloves that makes me think Augspurger has a body he needs to dispose of in the very near future. Like right after rehearsal." READ MORE HERE.

Eliza Rickman's " A Cockeyed Pop Song" Song Of The Day On NPR

"Eliza Rickman's "Pretty Little Head" is simple yet intricate, a contradiction which helps give it the feel of a nursery rhyme that's just starting to teeter off the rails. Except for the bridge, it's built entirely around two chords, a minor/relative-major pair that trade off inexorably in two-bar cycles without regard to differentiating between the verse and the chorus." Listen on NPR here.

Brett Nelson Chats With Blurt About Electronic Anthology Project

"Nelson's first Electronic Anthology Project release focused on the work of Built to Spill. So why did he select Dinosaur Jrfor the second? "I kinda felt the music already had a poppy new wave [feel] to it, very melodic, always had a hook - the things that the new wave I liked in the '80s had, just done with guitars and noisier," Nelson says." Read on over at Blurt.

Darling Dork Reviews Johnny Headband's "Who Cooks For You"!

"Listeners will dance from the very first track. “Over There” brings the clapping, bass-raving summer to your room; the jangling percussion of “And Then Again” recalls city street troupes gone mad with cowbell, triangle, and every other musical surface they might put a pair of drumsticks to; “Hot Button Topic” (the one that mentions “cookies for breakfast”) is a cheeky delight with as much pop in its lyrics as in its music. Every track of this nine-piece album surprises and thrills." Read the whole review now over on Darling Dork! 

MAGNET LOVES CONDUITS!

"Take a deep breath and get ready to be amazed. The incredibly electrifying and melodic Conduits perform “The Wonder” live inside Omaha’s The Slowdown in a dark room under incandescent light. Their energy is a force to be reckoned with, and the song is brilliant all its own. It’s full of strong hooks that will leave you in suspense and only wanting more. Ms. Jenna Morrison is spectacular; her sinful vocals will lure you in and capture your soul." Watch now over on Magnet.
