We All Want Someone To Shout For

exlovers are releasing their debut album Moth this May via Young & Lost Club . “Starlight, Starlight” is the first single from the group. It’s a track that flirts with shoegaze, shimmering with youthful memories of better times. The video only supports this, with faded memories of our past.

I first started listening to exlovers after discovering, “Just A Silhouette” in 2010. Here we are in 2012 and we are finally getting their debut LP. Can’t wait.

Download a mp3 of “Starlight, Starlight” below, and hit the jump for video.

Crystal Castles’ Ethan Kath has confirmed that they are working on a new album. Hat tip to Beats Per Minute for pointing out the NME article where Kath spilled some details. They will officially start working in February, and hope to release the album sometime during summer.

They relocated to Croatia to record because it’s a good place where they can “cut off from everything.” Members from the band’s forum have posted the interview, which is a great read. Check it out below, after the jump.

Hailing from Sacramento is Autumn Sky, a very talented up-and-coming singer. She is a big hit locally, and is now ready to capture a wider audience. With her tremendous skillset, it’s definitely going to happen.

She’s currently working on her 2nd album, The Hallelujah Chorus. “I Light Afire” is the first track she’s sharing from the album. It’s a peaceful sounding song that is bound to brighten your day in some way. Autumn described the song like this:

It’s a song about waking up on the *right* side of the bed — one of those mornings where you seem to get out of bed dancing, and the sun greets you on the way out the door.

Sounds good to me. Take a listen to “I Light Afire” below and get to know Autumn Sky. If you like the song, support her by buying the single on iTunes because she truly deserves it.

Harriet caught my attention with their great first single, “I Slept With All Your Mothers”. It’s taken from their debut EP, Tell The Right Story which you can stream in full over at Paste.

The EP is going to be available to download for free starting on January 31st at Harriet’s website. One listen to the EP will have you feeling warm inside. What are ya waiting for?

L.A. band Lady Danville describe themselves as a vocal-centric indie-pop band. After a few highly enjoyable listens to their new track “Operating, I’m a fan. It has this hugeness in it’s sound that is really atmospheric and uplifting.

It’s the title track of their new EP which is due out on iTunes on February 14th. A month ago the band were in a car wreck, thankfully they are ok. It inspired them to make these songs, along with the album art that you see above.

Hopefully the rest of 2012 brings sounds as good as this.

As I’ve told you guys before I go to Binghamton University. I am also a part of BUMP, which is a group that tries to get good, smaller acts to play at our school. We just booked the always amazing Atlas Sound, and I couldn’t be more excited. The date of the show is Saturday, February 4th and it’s taking place at the Undergrounds. Admission is only $5.

I got two chances to win free admission to the show. Leave a comment with your favorite Atlas Sound song below, and give me a reason why. The two best answers will come for free, and will have $5 extra to spend at the bars. Sounds like a good deal to me.

Tickets are only $5 so I encourage you to come even if you don’t win. The show is open to students and the public, and the price is the same for both. It’s going to be a great show, for a very fair price, in an intimate venue. Win-Win.

Good luck, and I’ll see you there! Check out the official facebook event here.

Watch Wilco get all Popeyed out in the cool video for “Dawned On Me”. The band wins the affection of Olive Oyl which freaks out Popeye. It’s pretty cool to see the band in such a historic cartoon. Up next? Wilco Spinach.
