Zombie Girl: Blood, Brains & Rock ‘n’ Roll

October 31, 2008

IR: Daily Dose Halloween Special

Experienced Canadian artist and designer Renee Cooper-Komor is the voice, body and spirit behind the ZOMBIE GIRL concept. Her mystical magnetism quickly attracted Sebastian R. Komor away from his natal Norway into her graveyard and took her no time at all to mutate him into the “zombie-fied” male behind the music and most of the lyrics of the project.

Gram Rabbit: Dirty Horse

October 30, 2008

Gram RabbitMy pick as we get nearer to All Hallows Eve comes from Jesika von Rabbit and fellow conspirators with the track Dirty Horse from Joshua Tree-based, Gram Rabbit.

Gram Rabbit emerged from the Southern California deserts in 2004, bringing a unique approach of psychedelic rock mixed together with heavy electro-beats and some dark folk influences.

You can find this eerie yet dramatic track Dirty Horse on the first album Music to Start a Cult To, and they have several sound samples for download at their website above. Also, you can pick up their music at iTunes and e-music.  [cs]

The Mountain Movers: Last Chance for Summer

October 29, 2008

From New Haven, CT, this is from their recently released album “Let’s Open Up the Chest”

Dan Greene of The Butterflies of Love started The Mountain Movers with New Haven friends to make more records. They have put out two full-length releases on Safety Meeting Records in New Haven: We’ve Walked in Hell (2006) and Let’s Open Up the Chest (2008) which was recorded on 2 inch tape at Seaside Studio in Brooklyn. They also have a picture disc split vinyl 7 inch of the hit Fate’s On Your Side. The first record was released in 2006 throughout the U.K. and Europe by Fortuna Pop records in London. In addition to supporting Let’s Open Up the Chest, they are hard at work on multiple recordings, which will be released in the near future. Live, they move from a 3 piece to a 6 piece, sometimes quiet, sometimes loud, but always dynamic, romantic, hypnotic, and entertaining. [MySpace]

The Twilight Sad: Cold Days From the Birdhouse

October 28, 2008

The Twilight SadFrom Scottish band The Twilight Sad, Cold Days From the Birdhouse opens with a reoccurring piano ping, steadfastly continuing throughout a majority of the song up until it ultimately tapers off in the end. We know its probably not the case, but we humor ourselves imagining one person hired for the feat during recording, making sure the timing is impeccable all the way through, focusing all their energy on pressing the single key over and over with sheer determination.

The track featured today is from The Twilight Sad’s more recent release, Fourteen Autumns, Fifteen Winters, which was released on Fat Cat Records in 2007. Check the purchase links below and check their current tourdates throughout Europe with Mogwai up through the holidays.  [cs]

The Happy Hollows: Lieutenant

October 27, 2008

From Negahdariland, California 

“Hello, we are The Happy Hollows an indie rock trio from mostly sunny Los Angeles, CA. We are inspired by metaphysical studies, political science, cats, counterfactuals, and the Iron Chef. Although our combined average height is only 5’7”, we strive to produce a big sound. Our raison d’être is simply to make music that is creative and catchy, and never to repeat what we have done in the past. Our band is fronted, anchored, and led by Sarah Negahdari (guitar, vocals) and held together by the Washington, DC rhythm section of Charlie M. (bass, vocals) and Chris Meanie (drums, vocals).” [Band bio]

Two Cow Garage: Brass Ring

October 25, 2008

.

After releasing 3 really incredible albums, Columbus, Ohio’s Two Cow Garage are back with the greatest release of their career. Having received comparisons to bands like Lucero and the Drive By Truckers, “Speaking In Cursive” finds the band moving past their influences and finding their sound. Comments on the new songs have compared the band to an alt-country Lawrence Arms which I had never quite thought of until it was brought up. Regardless of comparisons, the album rocks and will fit in nicely with your punk, alt-country, or rock records. [IODA]

October 24, 2008

ZSammySlowly piecing together his debut album called Be Let Down, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania based solo artist Zsammy deliberately crafts music at his own pace, taking time with each beautiful track. It definitely shows as every song I’ve heard thus far on his website hum with the care and effort that quality art is often imbued with.

Zsammy is offering several songs for free on his website and also on Garageband as well as iLike.

And… lest we not forget his presence on MySpace.  [cs]
