takes me back to the 90's (but in a good way ^^)

Last year, King TV's 'When She's Around' was featured on the very first Beech Coma release. Intimacy and hedonism high-five each other throughout the song as guitars switch from almost silent to screeching in waves - it's an utterly brilliant and thrilling song. When I first emailed frontman Louis Milburn about working with the band, I distinctly remember him asking me never to mention his age - just 17 at the time - as he was worried venues would stop booking the band.

Having just turned 18, and Louis is astoundingly prolific. Two further King TV releases under his belt, he also started writing solo work under the name Lou E late last year and released the beautiful and uplifting 'Teach Yourself'. Behind the scenes, given the number of different demos he has sent me since, I would guess there are in excess of 25 finished brilliant Lou E songs waiting to be unveiled - and today I have the utter pleasure of sharing my favourite, ‘Just One Thing’.

Taken from Vol. 3, out March 9th, ‘Just One Thing’ is a sprawling affair that really belongs over a sun-drenched road-trip scene in a cult 80s film. Juxtaposing everything that ‘When She’s Around’ is about, warm acoustic guitars slowly rise up like a heat wave from hot tarmac, whilst Louis’ vocals take you away with him as the dream-like, hazy melody slowly becomes lodged in your brain. 

Beech Coma Vol. 3 is released March 9th on cassette, t-shirt bundle and download - pre-order here - http://beechcoma.bandcamp.com/album/vol-3-2

NOTS // COSMETIC
131GONE
Release Date: 9/9/16

Second full-length statement from Memphis' NOTS, Cosmetic fearlessly attacks the rough edges between desire, deceit, appearance and reality. Not chanting down Babylon, Natalie Hoffmann screams straight into its face. In this Game Of Death, Nots run through the maze of mirrors with sledgehammers. Oh, the sound of mirrors smashing. Let's smash some more.

Nots are still a wild guitar band, but above and below the guitar, bass and drum pound, Alexandra Eastburn's analog synth blurps melodies and nonsense, teasing squiggles of freedom which defy the false grid of modern life. Cosmetic? Emetic? "Monotone Lust" indeed. With Hoffmann on guitar & vocals, Eastburn on synth, Charlotte Watson beating drums, and Meredith Lones steering a solid path through the chaos on bass, Nots are neither content with the smug "stare at your shoes" approach of bands from both coasts, nor an Earth-hugging "we need to get back to nature" hippie copout. There might not be any answers here. That might be the point. Nots have arrived at the next level of their attack with a confidence and a music that lays waste to the wasteland without romantic attachment to a thing.

Recorded with Keith Cooper and Andrew McCalla in Memphis. Mastered by Jason Ward at Chicago Mastering. Album Art by Natalie Hoffmann.

NOVA ONE - violet dreams

From Fran's debut album out 11/15 on Fire Talk.

Pre Order / Pre Save: ffm.to/franaprivatepicture

The trick is to make a confession entertaining. A Private Picture, the debut album by Chicago’s Fran, delivers a collection of extremely personal experiences that have been distilled and abstracted to the point that you can see yourself in their imagery, find analogs to your own emotional history in their scenarios –when you hear them, it’s a conversation. It’s therapy, if therapy was allowed to turn you on and make you shake what you got. At its core, Fran’s music is about sharing a truth -–telling it, confessing it, yelling it—in the service of human connection. Or, as Jacobson puts it, “I feel that I am a songwriter for the same reason I wanted to be an actor. I want to tell the truth. I want to challenge myself to get closer and closer to the core of an experience, an emotion- I want to say it, sing it, in a way that says exactly what it is. I cry when I write songs because I am constantly making discoveries, about myself, about the world, about the best way to convey and connect and get closer.”
