New Tunes from Cooper

 

INDIE POP DARLING
  
MAKES WAVES WITH
EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE OF DEBUT SINGLE
 
LIVE ON THE FADER


 
Thursday, January 9 2014 – Indie rock has birthed a new voice in COOPER. The guitar slaying powerhouse debuts her first single “Heaviest of Weights” exclusively via TheFader.com. “Heaviest Of Weights” highlights COOPER’s infectious whimsical sound surrounded by emotion filled guitar strums and strong, yet angelic vocals.
 
The Fader says, “Montreal’s COOPER was recently signed to Mom + Pop by Sara Quin, of Tegan and Sara, and their affinity seems obvious—Big time pump-up, I bet this album’ll be great.”
 

      I like the instrumentals a lot in Heaviest of Weights. Their use of percussion and guitar was awesome and added a lot to the song for me. I’ve always loved strong instrumentals in a song. The rhythms of their songs were all really cool and I never got bored listening to them. The opening lyrics for Heaviest of Weights were a bit too sharp to me. It felt strange having such a cool, mellow opening and then having a jarring higher pitched lyrics come after it. It stopped me from enjoying the song as much as I would’ve liked. Overall Cooper is definintly a group that will stay on my radar and I hope all of yours too. I can’t wait to watch them rise to their full potential. I have a feeling their going to be a force to reckon with.

 

-April B.

This Makes Me Want to Buy a Bike

Just way to cool!  Honda show of it’s MSX125 (Known as GROM in Japan) during the Tokyo Auto Salon 2014.  The concept bikes had the color schemes of each of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  I’ve always like purple so I would take Donatello’s themed bike.  Beautiful job guys, looks like you had fun building them.

Electric Eye set to Play at SXSW

Electric Eye
Psych rockers Electric Eye band to watch for at Eurosonic and SXSW 2014

January 2014
Psych rock band Electric Eye from Norway set to play SXSW 2014

Hailing from Bergen, Norway, Electric Eye play droned out psych-rock inspired by the blues, India and the ever more expanding universe.

The four piece released their long awaited debut LP “Pick-up, Lift-off, Space, Time” in April 2013. The album received positive mentions in Norwegian media, which have spread to international blogs and radio stations. The album was a co-released in the US and the UK by Norway’s Klangkollektivet and London based Fuzz Club Records.

Throughout the fall of 2013, Electric Eye toured Scandinavia and Europe and were given rave reviews for their performance at Iceland Airwaves in Reykjavik.  The group continued on to headline the Oslo Psych Fest and were featured on the compilation LP released by Fuzz Club and Austin psych fest called “The reverb conspiracy vol.2”. 
Highly recommended to fans of The Black Angels, Secret Machines and Spacemen 3.

 

Electric Eye will play Eurosonic Noorderslag on January 16th.  Be sure to catch the Norweigan psych rockers as they make their debut SXSW appearence in Austin this March!

“This four piece are all about long jams and pushing their rack of pedals to the limit. The bassline starts and weaves a hypnotic trance like rhythm while layers of otherworldly sounds are added resulting in one hell of a racket. I knew this band would be good having checked out their sounds on the internet before leaving home but I didn’t know they would be this good. Fantastic!”
-Emmett Mullaney, louderthanwar.com

“This is by far my favourite record of the week and Electric Eye is strongly becoming my new favourite band, I would highly recommend this to fans of the likes of Hookworms, Follakzoid or any other Sacred Bones stuff, absolutely marvelous!”
-Norman Records, Leeds, UK

Ep. 9 MiniPop: Phoenix Ash’s Indie Sound

 

Ep. 9 MiniPop: Phoenix Ash’s Indie Sound

We are back, with the first podcast of 2014.  Our 9th MiniPop starts the year off with Richard, April, Matt, and Chris discussing the sounds of the San Francisco based, J-Rock influenced Indie band, Phoenix Ash.

The band has one album to purchase now on their website, Transcend, and then when they finish releasing the singles from the current album, From Dust, it will be available to purchase as well to add to your library’s music collection.  After listening to the show I noticed that I had the opening and closing mixed.  Phoenix Ash’s “Amberglow” is the shows opening and then “Setsunai” is the shows closing.  I apologize for the mix-up and will have to take this as a learning tool to pay more attention to detail if I am putting a show together when I’m sick.

The ComicPop Crew also got to visit with the band about their music and you can listen to the “Visit” by the link here: http://comicpoplibrary.com/news/ep-19-comicpop-visits-with-the-indie-rock-band-phoenix-ash/
