Gentle Touch & Beach House

Good god, has it really been over two months since my last post!? My humble apologies to my 4 readers and I will try to update more often. Sometimes there’s not a lot of new music being released, but I will make a more honest effort.

Here are two bands that really caught my attention over the past months. The first band is called Gentle Touch. They’re a Swedish band that plays more of the synth pop genre and reminds me a lot of a German synth pop band named Camouflage. If you can’t remember Camouflage, they had a pretty big hit back in the 80′s with their song “The Great Commandment“.  Here’s a sample video of Gentle Touch

The next band is Beach House. They’ve been around since 2004, and released three albums so far.  Teen Dream, their latest album, is one that I can not stop playing. Whether it’s the music, melody or Victoria Legrand’s vocals I’m not too sure, but I just keep coming back to this album.

Please have a listen.

Tell me that didn’t get your ears perked up. I know you want more, so here’s some more.

Shows and Vids

Hi everyone. This post should be short and sweet, well probably more on the short side.

Au Revoir Simone will be playing at The Echo on July 7. I believe the tickets will be $14 at the door and $12 online.

If you’re looking for a site that keeps track of all the bands that you love and tell you when they go concert,  you might want to check out this site called songkick. It tracks your favorite bands, emails you when they play in your area, and it’s free!

Sambassadeur just released a video for “I Can Try” off their new album European. I found this video on a site called stereogum, which is another cool music website if you’re looking for more sites to peruse through. Enjoy
