New Hot and New for Nov 18th

Heavenly Beat is the side project of Beach Fossils bassist John Peña. His new single "Faithless" is a lovely and simple mix of lo-fi and cheerful beats behind rather depressing lyrics. It's an interesting combination that's quite a pleasant listen.

Heavenly Beat - “Faithless”

The Orwells, a band from Chicago, just released their third album entitled Remember When. One of the songs off of this album is "Halloween All Year," a fuzzily epic (or epically fuzzy) song that's somehow simultaneously loud and subdued. Here is what I believe to be a fan-made video for the song.

The Big Pink are releasing their new album Future This on January 17th. The song "Hit the Gound (Superman)" certainly adds to the Big Pink's spacey pop-rock sound we've become familiar with. Although it doesn't partically move music boundaries or have a hugely original statement, it's a fun road-trip sort of tune that's certainly worth a listen.

Los Campesinos have a new single out called "Hello Sadness" off of their upcoming album of the same name (which came out earlier this week). It's a cheery-sounding indie pop song with what seems to be one of the most uncomfortable-to-shoot videos I've ever seen.

"By Your Hand" was the first single off of the album and you can stream its pleasant music video below:
