The Raw Nerves are a four-piece group of soul lovin’, garage rockin’ misfits from Auckland City, New Zealand. There’s been quite a surge of bands from down under in recent months and these guys are another worth keeping on the radar. For those who recently caught the new EP from Thee Holy Ghosts, this is probably for you. Continue reading “The Raw Nerves – s/t LP”
HOUNDSTOOTH is a five piece band from Portland, OR with a curious alternative-country twang. Their new 7″ Beachbummer here will eventually lead up to a debut album in early 2013. Continue reading “Houndstooth – Beachbummer 7″”
Shawn Foree – better known as DIGITAL LEATHER – released another cassette EP on the seemingly unfitting Southpaw Records label earlier this year. As expected, it’s a dazzling and eclectic release. Continue reading “Digital Leather – Yes Please, Thank You EP”
Sydney, Australia band BLOODS dropped their first vinyl release titled Goodnight back in May. It’s a short and poppy two-track offering, giving us just one more reason to love everything that’s happening down under. Continue reading “Bloods – Goodnight 7″”
Tim Presley of WHITE FENCE is no ordinary dude. This guy makes melted, lysergic, psychedelic-pop songs in his sleep, almost like he went back in time to the 60s and brought everything he could back with him. Continue reading “White Fence – Family Perfume Vol. 1”
We’ve been hearing from these Denver-area bands via Snappy Little Numbers for a good while now. This new 7″ from FRIENDS OF CESAR ROMERO just might be our favorite one yet, except this time they’re not from Denver. Continue reading “Friends of Cesar Romero – Red Headed Strangler 7″”
Pop-punk innocence is the name of the game for THE UNWED TEENAGE MOTHERS. Their brand new 7″ EP on Speakertree Records proves this while also possibly being their most promising release to date. Continue reading “The Unwed Teenage Mothers – If You Think You’re Lonely Now 7″ EP”
WHITE PAGES are a trashy pop-punk trio from Cambridge, MA. None of the four songs on their debut 7″ from Can’t Stand Ya Records even last past the minute-and-a-half mark. Continue reading “White Pages – Please Kill Them 7″ EP”
It’s taken some time, but WHITE LACES are finally back again and this time it’s with their debut LP titled Moves on Speakertree Records. The album is due to hit the shelves on August 21st in an edition of just 500 pressings with the first 100 coming on green vinyl.
Today we are pleased to premier a track from the album called “Invocation,” which is only a small, teasing piece of the whole incredible album that is to follow. The track features a tense, psychedelic haze that washes over everything (a definite staple of the White Laces sound) which is filled out by quivering, crystalline guitar hooks that sound irresistibly feather-weight and intricate. Underneath the song is driven by a groundshaking rhythm section of pulsing bass lines and frantic drumming, all coming together for a dazzling and bleary-eyed wave of vibrant color that sprawls out in all directions. The band recorded everything live to tape with the exception of Landis Wine’s soaring vocals and a couple synths, which definitely helps give this track its stunning, immersible qualities.
Please listen to “Invocation” here and here only, then download it courtesy of Speakertree Records via Soundcloud!
