Crushed Stars: Farewell Young Lovers

Posted on January 13, 2014January 13, 2014 by Nikki Smith

Farewell Young Lovers is the most current album of Todd Gautreau and Jeff Ryan, out January 21st. The euphoric album opens with the upbeat “Flowerbomb,” for which they just released a video. Crushed Stars has kept their dream-like style since their earlier albums such as in In The Bright Rain and even their cover of “99 Red Balloons.”

The album takes on a somewhat psychedelic sound in “Our Interest in Claire,” but still eloquent, as if this would be the theme song to watching a lava lamp move. Then “Fly,” a lullaby of sorts, follows with a sprinkling of piano keys and harmony from a female voice. “Poppies” takes an instrumental approach, an intermission in the album. The second half opens strong with “Haters,” a sound different than most of Crushed Stars’ tracks. “Haters” is easily the most energetic, but still maintains that weightless feeling of the entire album. Finally, “Crocodiles” ends the album on a peaceful note.

The album is languid and simply beautiful. Everything should move in slow motion while this album is playing, and that goes for all of Crushed Stars’ albums. It can sing you to sleep (as it did to me late one night), ease your daily woes, or make you see objects in a softer light. Farewell Young Lovers is a unified album that brings to mind summer sunsets, nostalgia, thoughtfulness, and contentment. The album opens optimistically and closes with a sweet farewell.

Although Crushed Stars has a continuous and particular style, they are very versatile as shown in this album. They are able to evoke a feeling of high-ness and also one similar to a dream state. “Fantastic Birds” for example, Gautreau describes, “And we are like fantastic birds/ With our voices still unheard/ Under a canopy of trees/ Laughter and iridescent streams.” The vividness continues in “Haters”, “Singing in the churches with our hearts too full of hate/Shining on the surface but they won’t get through the gate.” Crushed Stars ends appropriately with “Crocodiles”, bidding farewell to all the young lovers, “So long my friend, we’ll see what tomorrow brings.” A complete album made truly with love and delicacy.

The Casket Girls: “Day to Day”

Posted on January 9, 2014January 9, 2014 by Kate Foster

Got someone’s hand to hold on Valentine’s Day? Whatever your relationship status, we suggest you make your way to 529 in Atlanta to catch The Casket Girls. Straight out of spooky Savannah, this ethereal trio just released a new single off their second album, True Love Kills The Fairy Tale. And much like the group, we don’t believe in coincidences – they’re coming on February 14 to sweep us off our feet.

First things first, though: this kickass single. “Day To Day” is a mystical track from CG’s upcoming album, True Love Kills The Fairy Tale, featuring shoegaze-y beats by Ryan Graveface, of Black Moth Super Rainbow fame (or you may know him from our awesome interview last year). These instrumentals remind us subtly of My Bloody Valentine, but the beauty is in how they mingle with the harmonies of sisters Phaedra and Elsa Greene. Light but not too frothy, their voices play well with quite an intense backdrop. What we’re most impressed by, though, is how this release manages to be both moody and uplifting at the same time.

Don’t be afraid to let your mind wander when listening to the track – after all, the chorus puts you in a dark fairy tale sort of mood with lyrics like, “Day to day/Straight from the rabbit hole/But we’re still going down.” Feeling like Alice yet? Good. We’re betting that’s no coincidence either.

Don’t forget to mark your calendars for the release of True Love Kills The Fairy Tale, out February 11 through Graveface Records.

Concord America + Vinyl Mag

Posted on January 9, 2014January 9, 2014 by Emily McBride

Concord America – not only the “best band name ever” but also the coolest dudes ever.   If you’re anywhere around Atlanta, you may know them from their killer performance at The Stuffing (they were personally asked to play the Manchester Orchestra-hosted event by Andy Hull himself…no big deal).  Or if you’re a long-time Vinyl Mag fan (Iloveyou), you may know them from when we reviewed their album, Shag Nasty, about this time last year.  The point is, you should know these guys.  And you should also check out our interview below.

Show Dates

Feb 1   –  The Green Room   –   Athens, GA
