Darker My Love – Dear Author
Darker My Love info
a few days ago we featured a cover-tune from LA collective Darker My Love from the forthcoming The Psychedelic Sounds Of The Sonic Cathedral: A Tribute To Roky Erickson And The 13th Floor Elevators collection. today we’ve got “Dear Author”. a NEW track from Darker My Love’s forthcoming Alive As You Are LP expected August 15 via Dangerbird. “Dear Author” isn’t shy to showcase some classic britpop influence. and we love it.

Hugo – Bread and Butter
Hugo info
so word has it, Hugo knows his way around a Jay-Z tune or two. funny how statements like “99 problems but the bitch ain’t one” transcend so many music and cultural barriers. “Bread and Butter” is just as simple and to the point, but doesn’t have anything to do with Jay-Z (roc nation aside). proper folk-rock with the soul of ny city. need we say more?

noel-gallagher

“Everybody Is On The Run” is an unreleased, and yet to be heard again, song from Noel Gallagher recorded during an Oasis soundcheck in Brazil early May 2009. Oasis nerds like us understand that it rarely gets better than the sound of Noel alone with his guitar, and this tune is no exception. a melancholy track, incredible melody, so simple, so soulful… so NOEL! that being said, the cheif’s new album is gonna be mind blowing!! c’mon now.. even George Martin considers “Noel to be the finest songwriter of his generation.” this record is gonna be MEGA! a rumored track listing and album release date (8/10/2010) is listed below. also below are a few clips of other unreleased tracks that may show up on his solo album…

“NG – 8/10/10

1. Revolution Song
2. Stop the Clocks
3. The Magic Can’t Be Right
4. Lazy Days and Sunny Rays
5. If there’s a god
6. Everybody’s on the Run
7. Let it come down over me
8. If i had a gun
9. I want to Live in a Dream in My Record Machine / Purple Parallelogram
10. Its Over now”

Noel Gallagher – Everybody Is On The Run (Soundcheck at Citibank Hall, Rio de Janeiro Brazil 5/9/09)
