SONNYMOON – ” Grain Of Friends “

Sonnymoon from Boston, Massachusetts. consist of Dane Orr (instruments) and Anna Wise (vocals).

Sonnymoon’s music is woozy, magical, mysterious, hypnotic, quixotic. Other words that occurred while we were listening to their self-titled album, released this autumn, included: squelchy, fantastic, phantasmic, , orgasmic. It is liquid and loose, unconventional and unorthodox. It jerks and juts out at ridiculous angles, but it can also be smooth and easy on the ear. At various points it will seem as though you are listening to an electronica record, at other times to an R&B one, a jazz one, an avant-garde one, even a pop one. Some of the songs will sound like all of the above, at once, while others will make you wonder whether you are listening to a brand new, as yet unnamed genre.

Actually, the two members of Sonnymoon met at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, where Dane Orr was studying saxophone and Anna Wise was studying singing. proggy synth-pop and psychedelic soul weren’t quite as free-flowing and far-out as this – their standout qualities are Orr’s individualistic approach to computers and keyboards, and Wise’s vocals, which are more of a series of cute hiccups than anything that could conventionally be termed “singing”. The songs on the album rank alongside the finest we’ve heard all year.

Burial Sound is a drone rock band from Boston. Featuring Katherine Murray – vox, guitar, keyboards Chris Powers – bass, vox, keyboards, Chris Oquist – drums, dragon tree

A while back we premiered an unearthed listen crushing debut single Burial-Sound featuring ex-members of ribs-ex-autochrome this bruising debut single from the Boston trio ,which featured members of some of the city’s more beloved rock, psych, and post-punk bands. Now with a few days before their show at Great Scott in Allston, the crew are showing off a more seductive sound with new single “Dark Years,” a seductive little number that hovers and grooves with a nice sense of urgency
What “Dark Years” is also doing is continue to build on their lovely sound

Boston duo Sonnymoon are known for genre-hopping quite a bit—their sound has encapsulated smooth electronic pop and downcast Rhythm and blues and vocalist Anna Wise appeared on Kendrick Lamaar’s 2012 LP “Good Kid” ,M.A.A.d city So it’s no surprise that “Pop Music” the first taste of their new LP “The Courage of Present Times”, is another sonic curveball with tart synths and whispered vocals that sound closer to what PC Music do than anything that would appear on a Kendrick album.

KRILL – ” Foot ” and ” Torturer “

Krill has built up a fiercely loyal fan base over the past year or two, but you may have missed them unless you live in New York or Boston and keep careful tabs  on the musical renaissance sprouting up around the label Exploding i​n Sound Records, which has been churning out stellar albums by bands like P​ile, Sp​eedy Ortiz, and ​Porches.​ since 2008.

http://

Exploding in Sound re-released Krill’s second album, “Lucky Leaves”, earlier this year, and the songs garnered enough attention to get them touring more and working on a follow-up, which is slated for release in February. Fans have told the band that “Lucky Leaves” sounds like “Modest Mouse on pot,” but Modest Mouse never wrote songs as proggy and knotted as Krill,

KRILL – ” Purity Of Heart “

A five-song suite from locally beloved Boston threepiece Krill, “Steve Hears Pile in Malden and Bursts Into Tears” is ostensibly a concept record about a maybe-fictional twentysomething who asks the very-real Boston band Pile to jam with him before getting politely rebuffed. “If I could have made something good, I would have by now,” sings frontman Jonah Furman, embodying the spirit of a laidback dude pretending he wasn’t just totally crushed. The rest of the tracks are less conceptual, but all contain Furman’s slightly unhinged lyrical self-deprecation — including a lengthy metaphor about viewing oneself as literal shit on “Turd” — and the band’s darkly pretty grunge rock.

QUILT – ” Held In Splendour ” Best Albums Of 2014

Quilt – “Held in Splendor” released on the label Mexican Summer,
American folk music is often held as sacred, bound by hallowed traditions both acoustic and spiritual. So it seems almost too easy to name your ragtag, 21st-century folk band Quilt, but it’s difficult to describe this Boston-bred trio any other way, their cloth cut from equal parts the Byrds, Mazzy Star, and the Mamas and the Papas, though the stitches threading their follow up record together are far from linear. Alternating psych-pop textures, radiant Eastern rhythms, and acoustic licks, “Held in Splendor” defies what we typically talk about when we talk about “folk” music. 

Maybe when Quilt named the album, they were describing its sound. More mature – and significantly better – that their self-titled debut, “Held in Splendor” is more ornate, more psych, more 1967 than 1966. Though the psych-folk tossback trend of the last few years leaves mixed results , Quilt has more firmly established their sound within the genre.  Following thier 2011 self-titled debut on Mexican Summer, Its full of cascading harmonies and billowing textures, punchy rhythms and snarled guitars, wonderful depth and resplendent peaks. Mary Mountain takes hazy Summer of Love memories on a mid-summer road trip in a gleaming muscle car. Tired & Buttered invites Booker T over for an energy-addled jam in the garage. The Hollow twinkles like Fleetwood Mac and Galaxie 500, with sweet singing backed by the lap steel sighs of young acoustic guitar . Held in Splendor is an album of personal poetry , confessions and aspirations”really, these 13 tracks are their own playground, brimming with the sort of unapologetic energy and wonder that turns simple songs into absolute anthems. This has been one of my most played records this last year,

The NEW HIGHWAY HYMNAL – ” Television “

 The New Highway Hymnal turned a number of new heads with their closing set at the Allston DIY Fest, a quintessential event for the young Boston music community. By now, the band has released one album 2012’s “Whispers,” and one EP, evolving from basement psych to trying their hand at more shoegazey realms, and will continued their summer festival tradition at the helm of Fuzzstival 2014. The band released a new single, “Television,” once again going for a new spin on their signature reverby sound. The tune is a positive reflection of the addition of new guitarist Charlie Northern (also of TeleVibes). Not only does it gain another full-bodied dimension, pushing the gazy aesthetic even further, but the band sounds more vibrant than ever, adding a more melodic, almost surfy feel, and allowing its calamitous sound to be tamed by oohs and whistles. It’s a promising sign of what is to come for NHH.
