Daily Dose Videos

Today s Daily Dose is a honey-dipped soulful number from bright young Nashville jazz-ling Rachel Pearl. From her forthcoming album Love Extravagantly, this is Baby Blue . Rachel Pearl’s voice is mesmerizing, transporting; her fashions are elegant, eccentric; and her mix of musical styles never fails to take her audience to places they don’t expect to go… A tousle of red atop shapely dress, she takes the old, mixes it with the new and constantly tests the boundaries of where music should go. Pearl has a way of turning every vocal performance into a lesson in chemistry between an audience and a true artist.

From their recent album Signal Morning, this is Athens, GA s Circulatory System with Round Again . After the split of the Olivia Tremor Control, songwriter W. Cullen Hart s first step was to create the Circulatory System. Featuring members of the former Olivias and other notable Elephant 6 luminaries, the Circulatory System s self titled first album is an exploration of the larger and the smaller, the here and the far away, and the now and the forever. Seven and a half years in the making, culled from hours of recorded material sculpted in at least seven different studios, the new Circulatory System album is an absolutely stellar document of song and sound.

Today s infectiously cheery Daily Dose comes to you from Cincinnati, OH group The Minor Leagues. Good Boys is taken from their new album This Story Is Old, I Know, But It Goes On , released earlier this week. [Warning: Contains one instance of NSFW lyrics!] Ben Walpole wishes he were British, fronting Pulp in 1995. Patrick Helmes wishes he were playing lead for Megadeth in 1988. But cruel fate has instead placed them both in the Minor Leagues, playing insidiously catchy indiepop for most of the last decade from their Cincinnati, Ohio homebase. The Leagues fifth album arrives on Datawaslost this fall, a kitchen-sink rock opera called This Story Is Old, I Know, But It Goes On.. Equal parts Pet Sounds and Dexy s Midnight Runners, the new record jumps and shimmies with the energy of its home-recorded roots 90s Brit-pop rubs elbows with 60s soul and even a touch of 70s glam-rock, all held together by clever hooks and vibrant production. It s this melange of orchestral pop sounds that s earned their previous albums comparisons to Beulah, New Pornographers, Blur, and the Elephant 6 collective, while managing to sound almost nothing like any of them.

Their new album I Can’t Go On, I’ll Go On comes out November 17th. The Bloodsugars are composed of frontman and primary songwriter Jason Rabinowitz, keyboardist Matt Katz, bassist Brendan O’Grady, and drummer Kenneth Salters, the same line-up responsible for 2008’s critically-acclaimed BQEP. Founding members Rabinowitz and Katz met in college, where they “bonded over music and emotion,” listening to records in their dorm rooms. They began making music together then and there, but it wasn’t until O’Grady and Salters joined the band that The Bloodsugars really arrived at their sound. According to Katz, “Each member brings something essential to the music,” whether it be knowledge of jazz, soul, Turkish garage, French house or straight-up pop, and it is this sharing of styles and sensibilities that really lends the band their unique sound.

From their album Truce Opium Combining such ludicrous and disparate sonic obsessions as Albert Ayler, Neil Young and Neu!, Athens Georgia s Dark Meat radiates a sound as layered, multivariable and insane as its improbable membership roll. The band s hometown scene, in fact, makes key attitudinal contributions to its expansive sonic tumult: Dark Meat inherits much from the halcyon days of Elephant 6 psychedelia. Not only has the band contained, at times, several key E6-ers, they ve also taken big cues in musical methodology: the band operates as a creative collective, with members coming and going, crossing over from other projects and other locales to contribute a dense air of aesthetic diversity that a homogenized, more self-contained band would sorely lack.

From Barcelona, Spain we bring you the post-punk sounds of The Last 3 Lines with their single Fish Tank , taken from their forthcoming EP Crows. The music of The Last 3 Lines consists of the most energetic britpop rhythms mixed with distortion, the post-punk decadent sound of bands like Sonic Youth, garage and psychodelia and in times reminds you of the 70 s. With their solid live show, The Last 3 Lines are quickly building up a reputation in the independent music scene in Spain.

From Oakland, CA, Saviours deliver a sharp burst of shredding, riffing metal for today s Daily Dose with We Roam , from their newest album Accelerated Living. Saviours have made the necessary adjustments to deliver the goods with revitalized rage and the smell of burnt blood in the air around them. The sludge of previous efforts is all but vanished, replaced with forged steel riffage, Austin Barber’s ragged vocals, and precise, metallic authority. New lead guitarist Sonny Reinhardt (ex-Watch Them Die) pushes the band into furious, locked in riffing, making that Motorhead-meets-Exodus-meets-Born Again-era Sabbath crossover record, the one you always dreamt of, a threatening reality. Full, thick production courtesy of Phil Manley (The Fucking Champs) opens up Scott Batiste’s drums and Cyrus Comiskey’s bass to the volleys of war.

From the album House To House on Spark And Shine Records It is hardly surprising that the Tripwires have leapt to the very forefront of Seattle s burgeoning power pop n roll scene, for this is indeed a quartet of considerable pedigree and startling showmanship. Leader John Ramberg wears red pants and sings in a voice reminiscent of his mentors, Sam Cooke and Pete Ham. In a Rambergian world story and melody are as inseparable as chicken and waffles. I have believed for years that John is the world s most under-rated songwriter, and this latest Tripwires effort is yet another horn o plenty bursting with compositional genius, adding to the considerable catalog of published gems from previous bands the Model Rockets and Stumpy Joe. You may also recognize John s B-Bender pyrotechnics from his long-standing role as lead guitarist in the Minus 5, a group that certainly needs no introduction, nor deserves one.

The Title Track from their new Album. See the video over there > Rep By Pop are a power pop trio playing infectious, danceable, synth/guitar rock. This Toronto based trio mix defiant, brooding and eager lyrics and vox with driving, sometimes funky drums and bass. Add a few absorbing synth lines for flavour. Influences dodge and dart from The Talking Heads to the The Cure to the Chili Peppers. Most of all they are an original with enough personality to back it up.
