New Gods Release Debut Album Beloved

New Gods Release Debut LP
Beloved OUT TODAY
23 October 2013

NEW GODS

HYPNOTIC, HYPNAGOGIC

DEBUT LP

BELOVED

OUT TODAY

Emerging from Melbourne, NEW GODS have justified their ironic band name in an entirely un-ironic way.  Their debut LP Beloved takes the best of 90s indie rock gods like Pavement and the Pixies, filtering it through the studio wizardry of Dave Fridmann and the tape-warp hallmarks of hypnagogic pop.  The result is truly unique.  Thematically coherent as it explores vast sonic territory, Beloved is a welcome left-field contender for the best album of the year.

EXPERIENCE BELOVED HERE

This is one of those groups that for me you would have to be in the mood for.  This isn’t one you would rock out to by any means.  This is one that you would put in on a lazy day or hazy day when the weather is dreary.  The group has a good sound, but in some songs the lead singer gets lost in the music and becomes muddy so you can’t quite understand him.  The interface above that they have with the release is really cool for us older listener’s (giving us a little feel of nostalgia).  I’m not sure if today’s crowd, unless they are into music, will appreciate the cassette reference.  The gallery is also a nice touch to give listeners a different experience.

“It’s so Hard” to Resist Lots of Love!

Lots Of Love’s ‘It’s So Hard’ Video
#1. on She Wired’s Broad Sheet

Lots Of Love’s Jessica Fleischer found unconventional inspiration for writing her twee confection “It’s So Hard:” a debilitating crush on her yoga teacher. “He was the first person who exposed me to the idea of self-love,” she said, “the lyric ‘it’s so hard to pay attention to your life’ actually came directly from him.”

The new video for her upbeat, retro-styled “It’s So Hard” is simple: a white background and a host of Fleischer’s alter egos, from a vampy cabaret crooner to a Fiona-Apple styled flower child, each cut revealing a new chanteuse.

Jessica is on a roll.  Once you listen to her you will be caught up within the music and it’s retro ’50’s/’60’s style.  Listening to her is a breath of fresh air.  But wait there is more, she is also a children’s book author with Little Luna and the Universe.  So when you are purchasing her album don’t forget about the book!  The music video to “It’s So Hard” is for you to enjoy.

Lots of Love Children’s Book Launch

Lots of Love’s Jessica Fleischer
Launches Her Children’s Book

‘Little Luna and The Universe’ 

 

 

 

On

Thursday, September 26th, 6-8pm
at Books and Cookies in Santa Monica.

RSVP : info@lotsoflovemusic.com

Five years in the making, Little Luna and the Universe not only teaches children about the bigger picture of the Universe on a scientific level, it also exposes them to spiritual themes of love and oneness that are necessary to fully grapple with the hugeness of our existence.

On the night we meet Little Luna, she dreams herself to a distant place in the Universe.  Far away from everything she knows, she must learn about the Universe before she can go back home and return to wake up in her bed.

She learns about galaxies, the solar system, and the names of all the planets. She also learns about the moon, and that the Universe and everything in it are one.  By the end of her journey, she understands that she is part of that oneness.



Jessica Fleischer has been playing music in some form or another for as long as she can remember. Her first release under the LOTS OF LOVE moniker, From the Start, was released in August. Recorded with Rooney’s Robert Schwartzman, it draws on everything from Electric Light Orchestra to the sound of 60s girl-groups, fusing nostalgia-steeped pop songwriting with a fresh and modern point of view.

Free Show at Silverlake Lounge

 


 

PRESENTS

MONDAY SEPTEMBER 23
at SILVERLAKE LOUNGE

 


 


 

Monday nights are usually dead in this town, but you can fix that by coming out to Silverlake Lounge next week for the third night of The MuseBox residency. This Monday we’ve got an extensive bill, headlined by La Dolce Vita with support from the Mo-Odds and the Moderates.

 

 

La Dolce Vita are fronted by Emmy Award-winning actor Michael Imperioli of the Sopranos, and they make the kind of scuzzy rock and roll that’ll have us all running out to buy CBGB/OMFUG shirts afterward. We’re thrilled to have them and we’re pretty damn sure you’ll dig their GBV-meets-Richard Hell vibe, too.

 

 

The Mo-Odds have built a reputation in Los Angeles for their insane live show. The Moderates are Long Beach’s favorite hook machine, and their new album Colour has picked up some nice buzz.

 

 

Don’t miss them. Come out to Silverlake Lounge on September 23, starting at 8pm. Oh, and did we mention it’s free? Because it’s totally, 100% FREE.

The Wyld Premieres Their Newest Single

Complex Premieres Latest Track
‘Odyssey’ From The Wyld

THE WYLDE’S NEW SINGLE

‘ODYSSEY’

PREMIERING NOW ON

COMPLEX MUSIC

 

The Wyld were nice enough to give away their debut album, ‘Preface‘, for free on Pigeons and Planes last month. Now they’re premiering their high octane new single, “Odyssey,” on Complex.
Stream it here.

The Wyld have a mix of Rap and Electronic Pop, very interesting.  This New Zealand group has the beats hitting you full force and the vocals are clear so you can enjoy the complete package.  That being said they have a sound that isn’t quite main stream, so it might take a few listens to let their music sink in.  Give them a chance you might find you enjoy them.  Click the links above to stream their song “Odyssey” and the Pigeons and Planes link to listen to their first full album.

New Zealand outfit The Wyld just finished recording Odyssey, along with the rest of their upcoming EP, Abstract, in the Red Bull Studios in Auckland.  Needless to say, the title is a perfect encapsulation of The Wyld’s gracious pairing of ballooning, smoothly layered lyrical flow and fever-pitch rhymes.  The song comes together strand by strand with drum beats, synths, Mo’s raps and Brandon Black’s welcomingly gentle harmonies weaving together a cord of musical adventure.
