STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
Surprise! The title track from the upcoming new album 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 by The High Water Marks is streaming the day before release over at Under The Radar Magazine. "'Proclaimer of Things,’” they say, “offers up plenty of the potent melodies and propulsive hooks that have become the band’s signature. An irresistible power pop gem." Well, damn - that's what's up! Link in bio. Pre-save the song and prepare for the album drop via Minty Fresh Music on February 4.
I love sending music out into the void and getting feedback from actual human beings that strips me of my ‘sending music out into the void’ feeling. The Nervous Hex is here for fans of Sonic Youth, Galaxie 500, Yo La Tengo, and The Feelies, and the band’s Ryan Traster says the lyrics “explore the idea of looking inward to spark revolution, whether that be a personal revolution, cultural revolution, or both. Side-stepping the notion that there is going to be a savior that swoops in and really changes things.” See the lyric video today via New Noise Magazine.
The self-titled debut EP drops Friday, November 5 via Dead Stare.
“She’s pretty amazing. There is nothing to not like about Jenny Parrott, be sure to get more of her in your life." Wise words from the venerable Folk Radio UK in its "Song of The Day" coverage of Jenny's new single "Georgica" that will be streaming everywhere tomorrow, October 22.
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘐 𝘚𝘢𝘸, Jenny's follow-up to 2017's 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘋𝘰𝘸𝘯 (named a "Top 10 of The Year" in the Austin Chronicle) is out November 12.
Local peeps can head over to Hole In The Wall ATX for the record release show that evening. RSVP here.
More love from the UK for Linda Draper’s current single "Tether.” I love how Jonathan at Americana UK frames Linda's defiant lyrics on this tune: “Linda Draper is having none of it – this pretense that when disasters strike they strike us all equally and we’re suddenly all in a unified state.”
As she sings, “Talk is cheap, still they keep speaking in their crooked tongues / Trying to sell me the idea we’re all in this together / I beg to differ… I beg to differ / We were never all in this together / There is no tether nor was there ever." From the upcoming LP Patience and Lipstick, out January 21 on South Forty Records.
We All Want Someone To Shout For describes "Jenny" by The High Water Marks as "shimmering 90s-esque dream pop and slacker rock" with an "absolutely infectious sound that is a total earworm." I have no argument with any of that!
New album Proclaimer of Things is out February 4 on Minty Fresh.
Have you not yet heard "Tether," the first single from the upcoming Linda Draper album Patience and Lipstick, because you've been thinking, "What's this upcoming Linda Draper album all about?" If so, head over to Adobe and Teardrops and hear it! According to the site, the song “deftly weaves together the crises we've faced in the last quarter century -- and provides a path forward.” They’ve also got an interview with Linda that will answer some of your questions.
The full LP is out on January 21 via South Forty Records.
Today, enjoy Hilarie Sidney from the The High Water Marks as she chats about the band's upcoming album Proclaimer Of Things (February 4, Minty Fresh) as well as her Elephant 6 and Apples In Stereo history in Denver with the city's own Westword. Check it out and feel a mile high!
Good afternoon! Feels like Monday, actually Tuesday. Today, the lovely Ditty TV has included the new single by Jenny Parrott on its latest "Ditty Dozen" Spotify playlist.
Here's a little insider info: I love this song. Jenny's real, and she's keeping it real… So if you like country-fried tunes that don't mince words, check out the link in the bio. New album 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘐 𝘚𝘢𝘸 is out November 12.
From New York to North Yorkshire, it’s Linda Draper! York Calling has coverage of “Tether,” the first single from upcoming LP 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘓𝘪𝘱𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘬, which the site calls “haunting” and “evocative.” Link in bio. Look for the full LP this coming January from South Forty Records.
Much appreciation to Glide Magazine for the continued support of Gregory Ackerman, this time by sharing 𝘚𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘞𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 track “All This Thinking.” Gregory tells us that he wrote the song during “a period of extreme anxiety” and that it helped him find “a way out.” As with all the songs on the new album, “All This Thinking” is a great listen for unburdening the mind.
Thanks to Surviving The Golden Age for posting about the fab new High Water Marks single "Jenny.” New album Proclaimer Of Things is out February 4 on Minty Fresh Music. According to the site, “While the song is reminiscent of 90s alt-pop bands like Rentals (with less synths) or Superdrag, there are little psychedelic nods to (bandleader) Hilarie Sidney’s Elephant 6 past.”
They're finding Jenny Parrott bloody brilliant over in the UK too (forgive me)! Thanks to Americana UK for the "I Thought" love.
Streaming everywhere now… album out November 12.
Big Takeover says, "At its core, Linda Draper’s ‘Tether' is a protest song. It is a message of passion, blunt truth, and Draper’s personal reality, and it calls for patience." I'm all for patience, but I also want you to jump on the premiere of "Tether," which serves as “a perfect example of Draper’s special way of twisting a dark tune, tinged with the appropriate cynicism, into a sing-along.”
The single arrives this Friday. Pre-save it at smarturl.it/1s2cbw.
So excited to be working with so many incredible women this fall, including the incomparable Jenny Parrott. I mean, you can make comparisons if you 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵, but better to just check out the singular songwriter’s "I Thought" over at Americana Highways. It's the first single from her upcoming The Fire I Saw, out November 12, and I love this lyric: “These arms can’t stand an ever loving man. And these eyes can’t see a never changing me.”
Pleased to share yet another new Blesson Roy track from the Ana Left Spain + 2 EP!
As project mastermind Terry Borden told New Noise Magazine, which just premiered the song, “No Other” is about “basking in the beauty of nature and new found love.” Full EP available tomorrow (Friday, September 24) from Slow Start Records… Pre-order Ana Left Spain +2 now.
