Leisure – Plastic Soul [LP]

After too many to count active passes through Leisure’s new album Plastic Soul it’s evident that the young Cambridge, Ma collective stand out from the crowd. The bands north-european rock appreciation is clearly there. Singer Jed Rouhana gracefully takes vocal cues from some of the post-punk greats while in his wake follows a witty and buoyant mix of classic British post-rock. The title and closing track “Plastic Soul” is a 6+ minute opus with a melting sax line. Another standout for your repeat button is the ballad “Goodnight Cairo” which manages some worthy U2 caliber weight. Kick back for this one.

VAULT: Futurebirds – Ski Chalet (Live)

Georgia natives, Futurebirds are a reverb-heavy alt-country act that I’ve been spending time lots of time with. How can you not immediately fell in love with this song and live performance? Ski Chalet offers up a masterful introduction that primes the listener for five minutes of good ole rock & roll. The melodic transitions in this song are truly something else. Futurebirds have released one album Hampton’s Lullaby and two EP’s, Futurebirds and Via Flamina. Pick up one of their discs asap. By Trevor Meyer

Benjamin Francis Leftwich – With A Little Help From My Friends

Recorded mid-tour in a Boston hotel room, BFL covers a familiar tune in a familiar stripped-down fashion for this month’s MOJO magazine’s “Yellow Submarine Resurfaces” CD. His unique vocals and delicate guitar make for a great alternative take on the Beatles’ classic, of which is available for free download here. B3SCI readers in the UK should also check out this competition running alongside his busy summer festival season, whilst all else can sit tight until the first full-band EP lands later this year… By Nathan Hetherington
