Rough Francis "Maximum Soul Power" arrived today... All kinds of bad ass rock and roll

Mark Morris - Flash of Darkness

Been waiting for this for awhile and it's fab. Always had a soft spot for the Bluetones and it's great to hear his voice and songs again.  Includes a Shins and Kavinsky?s  ?Nightcall? from the Drive soundtrack.

Eternal Summers

Eternal Summers

See, like this.  I know nothing of this band (or is that an album?).  I think people should be required to add some context to their posts, both here and in "What are you listening to?".  A link to the band's page would be nice.  Or a statement saying, "This sounds exactly like early Bee Gees, I think you'll love it!".  That said, I've found that Hutch's recommendations are nearly spot on for my taste. 

So what are we to make of this Eternal Summers that you speak?

[Hexenjagd]

LOL.

I usually add a link to iTunes or Bandcamp or a short writeup.

Eternal Summers is founded by the Roanoke, VA duo of Nicole Yun and Daniel Cundiff, but added bassist Jonathan Woods for the recording and release of 2012′s Correct Behavior. Opening with Pitchfork-deemed Best New Track, ?Millions,? Correct Behavior is, as you would expect with the addition of a new member, sonically fuller than their debut album Silver and earlier EPs including Prisoner and the material collected and released as The Dawn of Eternal Summers.

Early on, Eternal Summers was writing jangly post-punk stompers (Pogo, Able To) and languid dream pop ballads (Safe at Home, Lightswitch). And while Correct Behavior still reaches the upbeats (I Love You) and the slowbeats (Good as You), album opener (Millions) blends the disparate aspects of their back catalog into a coherent sound that is uniquely theirs. It is bright, fresh and bridges any gaps that might arise from what they once lovingly called dream-punk.

The LOL was in regards to the fact that I pretty much said the same thing in the 2012 or 2013 new albums thread; since people kept posting random bands without links or anything.

If only there was a band who sound exactly like the Bee Gees

[azaghal1981]

Only gave that Eternal Summers one listen while the Pandora stream was up. Reminded me more of their first record than Correct Behavior.

Are you guys enjoying the new Beck album?

I've probably listened to it a dozen times in the past week.

[azaghal1981]

^ I actually still need to hear this.
