can the former mr. cassie really sing? haha, don’t look at us to decide. but we can dig “all my love’s” killer chorus/prechorus hooks & head-nod worthy rhythms. anyone else hear some morrissey influence in the “even if i don’t have all your trust” line?

The Most Serene Republic -“Catharsis Boo”
off their latest …And the Ever Expanding Universe, “catharsis boo” amiably mixes counter-melodies, harmonies and syncopated layers of traditionalesque instrumentation in less-traditional ways. and while sooo many others don’t, these canucks actually justify all 7 pieces of their band.. they’d make a mean hockey team my friends

Those Darlins – “Snaggle Tooth Mama”
an ode to snaggle tooth’s everywhere. you know who you are. my college roommate had a bad case of the snaggle tooth girlfriend. said it hurt like hell. from their June self-titled release, those darlins sound is unapologetic

Diving With Andy -“Sugar Sugar”
yes. and yes. “sugar sugar” is the title track off french trio Diving With Andy’s new and second full length. they’ve just became my favorite new french thing, which is good cos La Petite Boulangerie was starting to piss me off anyway. does mustard really need to go on everything? btw any translators in the house? EVERYTHING i find on this band is in french, and i’ve no idea what they’re on about..

Muse -“United States of Eurasia”
this obviously is what it is. so we wont yak about the obvious, rather we’ll yak about what it is… minus the obvious. right, so isn’t king of the hill hilarious? thx to rave for the heads up.. muse’s new track is no doubt good and f’ing rocks, but is it really theirs? something tells me The Resistance due September 14 will be a whole lot more like Black Holes and Revelations, and a lot less like Origin of Symmetry.. just a hunch

Sarah Borges & the Broken Singles – “Symphony”
“symphony” is the closing track on sarah borges just released “the stars are out” lp on sugar hill. sarah’s influences range from mahalia jackson to x to merle haggard. we can dig that and we can dig sarah. when we hear “symphony, we hear a writer that truly loves what she does.

the deeper we dig into Fanfarlo’s debut album Reservoir, the better it gets. this UK based band simply make indie pop that does what it wants, and as contradicting of a statement as that should be, we all know what it means. they’ll be at the Troubadour in LA on September 15 and so will we.

Ceu – “Vira Lata” (Feat. Luiz Melodia)
29 year-old sao paolo singer-songwriter céu collaborates with mpb artist luiz melodia on “vira lata”. dig the nice early 70’s sao paolo feel to this. “vira lata” is the sort of song that transports you… i’m thinking a beachfront on the litoral norte about 730pm-ish, a bit of a sea breeze, some good food, the company of close friends, probably a bit of music, etc and this guy. ceu’s sophomore LP “vagarosa” is out now on six degrees.
