Chairlift - Amanaemonesia 

A few years ago, I saw these kids play a show at The M Room here in Philly, opening for Ariel Pink on a swealtering muggy summer night.  I wasn’t sure what to expect, but as it turned out was one of the best live shows I’ve ever experienced. Caroline Polachek and her band were fresh out of Colorado, having moved to NYC to pursue their musical dreams which were about to spark later that fall when their single “Bruises” blew up on an iPod Nano commercial. They absolutely mesmerized the room. It was so clear they had deep wells of untapped power.  Ariel was, as you might imagine, completely un-hinged but insanely good and writhing on the grimy floor amongst the audience while he sang. 

But I digress.  Listen to this single.  You’ll see. Watch for this song to drop on Terrible Records in 7” vinyl, and likely more.

Saturday treat: Mumford & Sons

Almost two years ago, I wrote my first guest post for tuneage. It was on Mumford & Sons. The band has since exploded - being nominated for a grammy, featured on major movie soundtracks and playing shows across the world.

A new (fairly high quality) Mumford & Sons track is making the rounds online. It comes from a live session the band did for a Colorado radio station.

The song is currently Untitled but I couldn’t help my excitement in sharing this beautiful track - Marcus Mumford’s crooning voice, heartbreaking lyrics and those fantastic harmonies have me hooked.

Big fan of Mumford & Sons.

Just a test!
