[Album Stream] Josh Ritter – The Beast In Its Tracks

Posted by michelleg - February 25, 2013

Likely to be his most personal album yet — as it was written during a particularly trying time in his marriage — The Beast In Its Tracks by Josh Ritter is a record we’ve been anxiously waiting for. But now we don’t need to look any further, as the entire LP is currently streaming a week before it officially drops! A bunch of new tunes from a gifted singer-songwriter that has the power to move and captivate with just his voice and a couple of guitar strums? Count us in.

[MP3 Playlist] Indie Dojo (February 2013 Round #3)

Posted by Allegra Azzopardi - February 19, 2013

Sure, the best things in life are often free but sometimes we have to pay a little something, something in order to make things a little better. We try to give you an abundance of free music here on the indie dojo playlists, but sometimes we have to contribute back to the indies by posting a non-downloadable Soundcloud link. So if you like it, go ahead and buy it. Same goes for the artists that are kind enough to share a free download or 2. Visit their facebook page, follow them on twitter, do whatever the social media revolution calls for. Ninjas helping ninjas. It sure is a beautiful thing.

[Indie] Pure X – Things In My Head

Posted by michelleg - February 13, 2013

For all two-and-a-half minutes “Things In My Head”, the latest track from Austin’s Pure X, shivers like an uncertain child, careful, cautious and maybe even a tad wounded. The gentle, yet lo-fi vocals of Nate Grace coupled with lazy reverb’d guitars make for an indie track that slides on by seemingly to go unnoticed, except for the fact that you can’t help but listen in for its pure, unadulterated intimacy. Maybe over and over, too.

Things in my Head

“Things In My Head” is off Pure X’s second album, Crawling Up The Stairs, out May 14th via Acephale.

As the calendar turns over, so do our sights for upcoming events in 2013. The experiences, shows, live performances, breathtaking nights and jaw dropping moments have passed, and a new set is just on the horizon. With the release of Coachella’s line up, we couldn’t help but get overwhelmingly excited. Postal Service? Sigur Ros? Baauer? Dillon Francis? There’s honestly just too many artists to name at this point.

We booked our flights. We booked our house. Our cameras are packed, and our Music Ninja shirts are laundered, pressed and ready for full on desert festival action. Yes, we’re going to make the pilgrimage deep into the California desert for what is set to be one of the most amazing musical weekends ever. We’ll be tweeting, instagraming and facebooking. Make sure to stay tuned.

Who are you most excited to see in 2013??

Good Field – ‘Tell Me Ida’ & ‘Our Roofless Home’

Posted by Blas Yaselli - February 12, 2013

Hailing from the live music capital of the US, Austin indie outfit Good Field are releasing their upcoming self-titled debut album today, February 12. Created as a new project from former members of Voxtrot and Brazos, the band has been well recieved, opening for groups like The National, Vampire Weekend and The Walkmen among many others.

Good Field is ‘an homage to cricket and deslate landscapes’, as described by Price who wrote some of the album in an isolate adobe by a cenote in New Mexico. The album, infused with folk instrumentation, is mainly influenced by shoegaze, indie rock and ’60s guitar tones with attractive rugged vocals and vivid lyrical story telling.

Preview tracks ‘Tell Me Ida’ and “our Roofless Home’ from the album below:
