HORRID RED "NOTHING IN MY HEART"

check out the wonderfully woozy et murky, infectiously bleak et nihilistic, NDW-imbued mantra Nothing In My Heart, from Aachen, Germany/San Francisco-based punk-wave trio Horrid Red from their phenomenal new album "Celestial Joy" (2012).

Nothing In My Heart features some gorgeous reverb-swooning, Robert Smith-y guitar hooks, enjoy!!!

SOPHIA KNAPP "CLOSE TO ME"

next up is the wonderfully nostalgia-steeped, shimmery et funked-out, disco-infused single Close To Me from San Francisco-based sassy songstress Sophia Knapp off her forthcoming debut album "Into The Waves" (2012).

Close To Me has a definite 'Sound and Vision' vibe going on. is it just me or is there something about the font et the arched windows on the cover art for "Into The Waves" that evokes a kind of deconstructed version of Fleetwood Mac album covers, in particular the 1975 self-titled "Fleetwood Mac" album cover et the font from the "Rumours" cover. like i said, maybe it's just me! enjoy!


MP3: Close To Me

"Into The Waves" is set for release February 28th on Drag City, it will be available on cd, lp. pre-orders are open now if you want to get in early. it will be available digitally from itunes.

"Tumble down ...

the hill with me ...

Don't be afraid ...

of what you cannot see."
