NIGHT BEATS ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM
SONIC BLOOM,
DEBUTS NEW TRACK "OUTTA MIND"
THE REVERBERATION APPRECIATION SOCIETY STARTS RECORD CLUB, RELEASING GOLDEN ANIMALS LP
AUSTIN PSYCH FEST LAUNCHES LEVITATION FRANCE
The Reverberation Appreciation Society, the label arm of Austin Psych Fest, is proud to announce the release of the new Night Beats record, Sonic Bloom
on September 24, 2013 on vinyl, CD, digital download and cassette
(co-release with Burger Records). In conjunction with the announcement,
Night Beats are debuting their new track "Outta Mind" off Sonic Bloom, available for posting HERE.
Recorded in a Tacoma, Washington warehouse, Sonic Bloom
is an explosion of reverb soaked rock and soul blended with sharp drone
numbers and classic rhythm-and-blues founded tracks. From the haunting
psychic groove of 'Seven Poison Wonders' to the sparse Zombies
influenced 'Playing Dead' to the squealing ruckus of 'Rat King', Sonic Bloom harkens back to the outer corners of rock and roll radio of yore.
The
Seattle-based band have spent past few years relentlessly touring,
hitting over 20 countries. The trio -- featuring Danny Lee Blackwell on
guitar/vocals, Tarek Wegner on bass/vocals, and James Traeger on
drums/vocals -- will keep up this pace, touring this fall in support of
Sonic Bloom. US tour dates coming soon, European tour dates below (with more to be added).

Jake Bellows's Debut Solo Album New Ocean Streaming At Spin
Jake Bellows's Debut Solo Album New Ocean Streaming At Spin
New Ocean Out August 6 On Saddle Creek
"The 11-track LP features previously shared stunners "I Know You" and "All Right Now",
and also makes way for "left turns into drunk-in-the-sun bossa nova,
blue-eyed-soul ruptured by fuzz guitar, [and] love songs that are not
necessarily ballads" - SPIN
"Bellows' woozy voice waxes, wanes, woos and philosophizes, revealing the work of a songwriter who knows the best music is not a one-way conversation." - Buzzbands LA

Watch: New Ocean Album Trailer via YouTube
Jake Bellows is set to release his debut solo album New Ocean on August 6 via Saddle Creek. In anticipation of the release, SPIN is running an exclusive album stream a week before the street date. New Ocean was recorded at Omaha's ARC Studios with engineer Ben Brodin (Before the Toast and Tea, Conor Oberst), Ryan Fox (The Good Life), Todd Fink (The Faint), and Heath Koontz (Neva Dinova). New Ocean is now available for pre-order on CD & LP via Saddle Creek and limited edition cassette through Majestic Litter.
Jake Bellows had quit music. Or so he thought.
After fronting Neva Dinova
for more than 15 years, which included five full-lengths, a split EP,
and countless tours, he packed up his dog and moved from his native
Omaha to his girlfriend's hometown of Los Angeles. Two days before he
left he recorded 18 demos with musician and engineer Ben Brodin at
Brodin's insistence. Once in L.A., Bellows got a job installing
sliding-glass doors and sold his Les Paul to buy a Datsun pick-up truck.
Though he had no plans to form a new band, he played the occasional solo show, performed with Whispertown,
and continued to write songs. In early 2011, an invitation arrived from
Omaha's Film Streams Theater for Jake's old friend Ryan Fox also living
on the West Coast, to perform an original live film-score. Fox enlisted
Bellows and Brodin to collaborate and the trio began to compose and
discuss improvisational ideas over long-distance. Since they were all
going to be in Omaha and had a long history of playing in each other's
bands, Brodin and Fox nudged Bellows into booking studio time to record
some of his dormant songs.
Fox
and Bellows drove from LA to Omaha that November. They entered ARC
Studios for a feverish recording session, arranging and writing parts
on the fly with an impromptu band including Heath Koontz, Todd Fink,
Whispertown bandmate Morgan Nagler and other old friends. Committing
quickly to intuitive arrangements the band recorded 17 tracks in a
little more than a week. They worked remotely on the record throughout
that winter and spring, adding overdubs in basements and bedrooms
across western North America.
The
new music is underpinned by philosophical conviction and shaped by an
interest in physics, cosmology and mythology. Bellows returned to music
with a renewed sense of the intrinsic value of art and its ability to
express the commonality of human experience. His debut full-length, New Ocean,
offers a mix tape of different kinds of songs hanging out on one record
- love songs that are not necessarily ballads despite their
introspective gauziness, with left turns into drunk-in-the-sun bossa
nova and blue-eyed-soul ruptured by fuzz guitar. Bellows believes that
songs change the fabric of the universe through the very frequencies
they emit. As such, the record attempts to create the world he wants to
see instead of reflect the world that is.

"Dreamy,
breathy vocals layered over uptempo beats and synthesized
instrumentation that nimbly maneuvers between a sense of 21st-century
melancholy and jubilation, without ever quite committing to either,
characterize White Prism's newest self-titled EP" -Interview
"So
yeah, she’s got the vocal goods. But what good is a killer voice if it
doesn’t have equally awesome music backing it up? And Cranitch has
that" -NYLON

HEAD IN THE DIRT (PRODUCED BY DAN AUERBACH) OUT NOW VIA INNOVATIVE LEISURE

VIDEO: "Pay No Mind" - http://www.nowness.com/s/azii4r
Today Hanni El Khatib is sharing the video for "Pay Me No Mind," taken from his new Dan Auerbach-produced album Head In The Dirt. The video is directed by Simon Cahn, who recently co-directed short film 'Mourir Auprès de Toi' with Spike Jonze as well as directing Hanni's recent video for "Penny."
Speaking on his continued collaboration with Simon, Hanni said, "Simon has a very specific type of humor that he always injects in his work. I like it when creatives don't take themselves too seriously. "The video for 'Pay No Mind' is "all about having fun," says Cahn.
