A Place To Bury Strangers – In Your Heart and Close Lobsters – Nature Thing

a-place-to-bury-strangers5

A Place To Bury Strangers’ new LP Exploding Head is shaping up to be one of our fav releases of the year.. and not just because of the name. “In Your Heart” has rightfully gotten hold of our attention for its pop sensibility yet powerfully cold composition. And in the spirit of “In Your Heart”, dig on this classic from Close Lobsters. These cats, who even opened for The Jesus and Mary chain back in 1986, rule! “Nature Thing” was recently re-released this month on a new singles collection titled Forever Until Victory and has found its way into our heavy rotation.

Kings of Convenience – Renegade

kings

“renegade” is new from bergen, norway duo kings of convenience. the song, taken from the group’s “declaration of dependence” LP, is stunning. “renegade”, as is characteristic of most great music, takes us, picks up, and transports us somewhere else; faraway spaces, tropical climes, warm breezes. listening to “renegade”, we’re already there, “letting go/in doubt of what is thought and what is real”. press play and join us and drift…..

The Stevenson Ranch Davidians – Feelin Good

srd-lifedeath-cover

LA county’s The Stevenson Ranch Davidians make some truly inspiring folk music on their new LP Life & Death. they’re a new favorite here at b3sci and how can you not dig the sunniness and stomping soulful vibes on “Feelin Good”?? sure their band name definitely sounds like a cult, but when they’re chanting “feel like feelin’ good” it’s like, YYYEP sign us up!! haha, still not sold? check this album artwork, these guys definitely party with this guy.. dig it dec

New T.V. Series – V

in November ABC debut’s a new TV series titled V. cool and all, but somewhere along the line ABC must have passed on this guy (see below). don’t ask us why, he’s clearly the real GEM. and since we’re not sure if it can get more epic than this cat, the contest goes, who can go the longest watching this video before deciding he’s insane??? reptile aliens feeding on children seals the deal here. but most importantly, how come he got hooked up with the advance of V and we didn’t?! wtf.
