The Milwaukee-based quartet’s debut, There’s No Sky (Oh My My) was self-released in 2009. Like fellow Brew City rockers the Goodnight Loving, Jaill brings a healthy dose of jangle to their punchy garage-rock, topped with a distinct mid-western flare.
“Breaking Walls” – Chief from Modern Rituals – out August 20th “Night and Day” – Chief from Modern Rituals – out August 20th The band has garnered the attention of praise of music writers and fans across the country, and should continue on that course following the August 20th official drop of their debut album, Modern Rituals. “Little Girl” – Sparklehorse & Danger Mouse (with Julian Casablancas) from Dark Night of the Soul (pre-order) – out July 19thĬhief is a four-piece band out of Santa Monica, California comprised of 20-somethings Evan Koga, brothers Danny and Michael Fujikawa and Mike Moonves. Dark Night of the Soul will be released on July 19th. The LP was supposed to be released last summer but squabbles over copyright terms kept the release of the LP in limbo, until now. Other collaborators on the project include The Flaming Lips, Black Francis, Suzanne Vega, Julian Casablancas, and Vic Chesnutt, another influential musician who died tragically in the past year. Only months before his tragic death in March, Linkous recorded an album with Danger Mouse and director/producer David Lynch. Also known by his birth name, Mark Linkous, Sparklehorse was one of the most influential alt rock artists of the 1990s and early 2000s. One of the greatest losses in the music world this year has been the untimely death of alternative rock icon Sparklehorse. “You and I” – Washed Out (featuring Caroline Polachek) from TBA (TBA) This song reminds us so much of the 1990’s pop sensation, Enigma. No word yet on a release date for Washed Out’s debut LP. The track features Caroline Polachek of Chairlift. The new song featured here, “You and I”, was performed at SXSW and has been making its way around the web in recent weeks. Greene’s style has often been referred to as the “chillwave movement”. A few bloggers got wind of his songs via his MySpace page, and before long, Washed Out was everywhere on the web. Washed Out is the moniker of Ernest Greene, who moved back home to rural Georgia last summer, and began recording songs in his bedroom studio and posting them on his MySpace page. And the wait was worth the achy legs and sunburned necks. On the morning of the third day of South by Southwest in Austin last March, there was a line a block long outside of Emo’s of folks who were waiting to see Neon Indian and Washed Out perform.
