Saharan Gazelle Boy - Something I Want to Know About You

I spent a good chunk of this week going through hundreds of unread EOTB emails and was happy to find this new single from Saharan Gazelle Boy, the solo project from Darin Seal of Capybara. From the second the beat dropped in the beginning I knew I would like this tune. It’s a really lovable number with a catchy chorus and a well composed pop style. I really hope there’s a cool music video in the works! It doesn’t look like Saharan Gazelle Boy is performing live yet, but make sure to see Capybara at SXSW if you’ll be there.

Neon Indian - Sleep Paralysist

The new Neon Indian track “Sleep Paralysist” picks up right where his album left off. It’s loaded with heavy bass and a storm of effects that reflect front-man Alan Palomo’s mad scientist approach to music making. This song was recorded at Terrible Studios, owned by Chris Taylor from Grizzly Bear- he even helped with mixing and mastering! Who’s seeing them at SXSW with me? Who’s seeing them at SXSW twice with me? At least make sure to get the new track here.

A B & The Sea - Bone Dry

I wanted to post this last week, but had to spare an extra time at home to sleep. My buddy Ty is working with this band A B & The Sea and came up with a great way to get the word out about these guys. It’s a widget that unlocks a new song each time the number of downloads reaches a certain number. Brilliant! This handsome foursome who hail from Wisconsin are starting to make some noise now that they’ve established themselves in SF. The other night they supported Edward Sharpe at our closing night of Noise Pop! Make sure to check out the first single “Bone Dry.” It’s an instant hit!

Club 8 - Western Hospitality

Thanks for being patient during my short hiatus. If you live in the Bay Area, I hope you checked out Noise Pop festival  - which I was very involved with the past few weeks. Early last week my buddy Dan turned me on to this Swedish group and literally the next day this track showed up in my inbox from Labrador Records. While their new album The People’s Record won’t be out until May 18th, they’ve offered up the first single “Western Hospitality” as a preview of what’s to come. The record is going to be chock full of euro-meets-afro pop that will surely reach a lot of ears. The Swedes just know how to lay on the charm so damn well. It’s really hard to resist them. The sun turns into this guy whenever their music is played…I swear!
