JD McPherson: I Can't Go Anywhere with You (feat. Bloodshot Bill)
We previously featured the single "Sunshine Getaway," which previewed Nite Owls, the new album from this Oklahoma-born, Nashville-based singer and guitarist best known for a 60s-style rock 'n' roll sound. On the new collection, writes No Depression, "He’s smoothed out the rootsy edges and incorporated a slew of pop influences, from The Beach Boys to girl groups to New Wave, while retaining the gusto that’s always informed his music." This track is perhaps the closest to his previous style, and he's joined by Montreal-born rocker Bloodshot Bill.
Belfountain: Give It Up
We're dipping back into Some Hearts, the debut album from this indie-folk-rock project fronted by Canadian singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Chris Graham. Canadian Beats calls the LP "an authentic, roots-inspired collection that provides an earthy mix of old and new, always familiar yet full of surprises."
Carnival Xhibition: The Simulator
From Florida comes the rock'n'soul duo of Lashawn Bowens and Daniel Edell, who combine various blues, rock and folk influences. They cite influences including Tina Turner, Mumford and Sons and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. "We are bringing back an old feeling that has a new sound," says Edell. This single arrives ahead of their first full-length album, due in February.
Never the Name: Quasimodo's Love Note
This is the debut release from a New Jersey indie-rock group headed by bassist Will Blakey, also a mainstay of the Bryan Hansen Band. We look forward to hearing more soon as the new outfit prepares its debut album for release next year.
The Cure: All I Ever Am
Pulling out another track from Songs of a Lost World - one that Billboard points out features bassist Simon Gallup, the longest-tenured Cure member besides Robert Smith. "Gallup’s rumbling bass lines have always been a major component of the Cure’s signature sound, but his highly distorted bass is front and center in the mix on Songs of a Lost World like never before. That’s really hammered home on 'All I Ever Am,' which features Gallup playing a very catchy melody that probably would’ve been played on piano on an '80s Cure album."
