I saw these guys play at the Shugazi festival in Long Beach a while back, and they were really something else. Nothing is a shoegazey band from Philadelphia and just released their new album, Tired Of Tomorrow, a few months back on Relapse Records. Not only is the album really good, they are even better live. They played on top of a parking garage, and their sound was so big that it cascaded all throughout Long Beach that night. I didn't realize these guys were such a big deal until I saw all the die hard fans screaming for them to play their favorite songs. The crowd they were playing for were, for lack of a better word, a bunch of "Cool Kids," so it was interesting to see the crowd get really loud and excited for them to play. You can purchase the album from Relapse Records here, or you can purchase on bandcamp.

Rob Crow's Gloomy Place
Follow @Uhh_yup
New Rob Crow solo album is finally almost here! The new album titled, You're doomed. Be nice. will be available for purchase on March 4, 2016. He is also going to tour this album starting on February 29, and I will post the dates below. It's the first release since Pinback's Information Retrieved back in 2012, and it is definitely worth the wait. This album is the first solo album that was completed with a full band. Usually, it is just Crow writing all the parts, but this time he got ex Heavy Vegetable member Travis Nelson to help, along with other San Diego musicians. Every Rob Crow related show I have been to have been amazing. The songs are so technical and melodic that I get lost just watching. Please pre-order the album and go see the show when he stops by your town. He also hosts an amazing podcast that you should visit as well.

Yesway
Follow @Uhh_yup
A friend gave me this Yesway LP a few weeks ago, and it has been on repeat in my house ever since. This band is perfect music to have with a few friends over or even just laying around the house. Yesway consists of friends Emily Ritz and Kacey Johansing. They use overlapping vocals, along with guitar and drums. They come up as folk if you look them up, but I don't think I would limit their genre to just that. It is more upbeat than some folk stuff out there. Their music can be purchased via their website below.

Electric Peanut Butter Company Trans-Atlantic Psych Classics
Follow @Uhh_yup
Electric Peanut Butter Company was something I was a little hesitant to listen to. However, once I gave them a chance, they did not disappoint. These guys have some real hooks in their music. Very catchy, 70's cop theme songs. It could be an awesome soundtrack for going cruising down the street. There is a nice teaser of their album, Trans-Atlantic Psych Classics Vol. 1, below. They are a part of Ubiquity Records, and their music can be purchased via bandcamp.

Finally! Mew's album +-
Follow @Uhh_yup
I have been waiting six years for Mew to come back, and boy they came back swinging. They really brought their big guns with their new album, +-. This is the first album since 2009's No More Stories, and it is the first time with Johan back since 2005's And the Glass Handed Kites. This work is definitely more focused this time around. There are few long, rapid time changes this time around. However, they still are able to bring the signature Mew sound to it. I am not saying there aren't any long songs with multiple time changes; they have that with gems like Rows or Cross The River On Your Own. They were able to focus their sound in shorter lengths, like with Witness. All in all, I cannot talk about how great it is to be hearing Mew again. Their sound is so unique that I am always transported into a fun, mesmerizing world that is Mew. It is good to be back in that place after all this time. There album can be purchased via the link below.
