Tyrannosaurus Dead – Pure // Apart

The British fuzz-pop band Tyrannosaurus Dead has a new EP coming out this May! They’ve released the first single from Pure // Apart on their bandcamp and though “Sadie” will always remind me of P.S. Eliot, their new song Sadie rocks my world. So catchy from beginning to end. The full EP will be out on Odd Box Records in May. You can see the album art and track names here.

Tyrannosaurus Dead’s earlier EP, Lemonade, is amazing so if Sadie leaves you wanting more you know what to do.

The Postal Service Returns

In case you haven’t heard THE POSTAL SERVICE (Ben Gibbard of DCFC and Jimmy Tamborello of Dntel) are reuniting for a few shows this spring! They have stressed that they will not be releasing new music, but hey! thank god, right because that could ruin everything.  The only date announced is Coachella 2013 so get to buying those tickets and then listen to Give Up all day to remind yourself why we all have to go to Southern California this April.

Places to Hide- Getting Old EP

Places to hide from Charleston, SC/ Atlanta, GA are a (basically) female-fronted pop-punk band who have released one small EP which had one large impact on me. I’m crazy about it.  It’s got just enough of a folksy influence and heart. It’s six songs long, three of which you can hear on their bandcamp.  Word on the street is that they have a full length coming out pretty soon.

Favorite Christmas song this holiday season:

I just wanna watch how you’ll age and the way your clothes change.

Samira Winter- The Dreamiest Girl in Boston

Though some of Winter’s music was recorded in Brazil, some is recorded in Boston where she’s a senior at Emerson College, thus she still earns the title of ~*dreamiest*~ girl in Beantown, The Hub (of the Universe), The Athens of America, etc.

She’s lived all over (Brazil, Mexico, Florida) but ended up in Boston playing kickass solo shoegaze music! Her new EP was released on her bandcamp last month. Here’s the music video for the title track, Daydreaming:

Also, check out the band Primary Effect, which includes Winter and two others. “The name of the band refers to a term in psychology in which people are deeply marked by their first experiences.” Pretty dope dreamy indie music from 2011.
