New Song From Dancing Heals + New Album

Australian based Dancing Heals have released a new song, "Something."  The track is from their upcoming second album, You Will Never Be Younger Than You Are Now, which is scheduled for release on July 5.  Check out the song below.

One week after announcing the July 5th release date of their new album, You Will Never Be Younger Than You Are Now, and Australia tour, Dancing Heals are back at it again. Having just released their second single off the album, making it available as a free download, the new track is a trademark Dancing Heals heartbreaker with soaring guitars. Titled “Something”, this is the follow up single of "Always on My Mind," which was released earlier this Spring, both taken from the forthcoming LP. The Heals have just finished shooting a music video for the track, working with local director Thomas Elliott, of Achtung Films which will be out later this Summer.

Their new album, You Will Never Be Younger Than You Are Now, will be available on digital and CD formats in July on DEL GRANGO RECORDS, distributed by MGM Distribution.

Caught My Ear: City Light - "Sweet Death"

City Light have released the track "Sweet Death".  Check it out below.

City Light is the electronic-pop project of singer/songwriter Matt Shaw and producer Nick Andre. They first came to prominence in 2010 with the album, Burned Out Bright. The band began as a long-distance audio experiment with the Seattle singer and San Francisco producer collaborating on tracks and with friends such as Andy Fitts (Airport Cathedral/Aqueduct) and Marc Bianchi (Her Space Holiday). Burned Out Bright received a glowing reception wherever it was heard, including landing the band as Filter Magazine's Undiscovered Band Of The Month. In 2011 Matt moved to San Francisco to give City Light full attention. Since then the band has toured with Her Space Holiday, done spot dates with A.C. Newman and Holy Fuck, and contributed post-production to How To Dress Well's album, Love Remains. With their 2013 album, Memory Guide, the band has reached new heights. Combining Nick Andre's hip-hop influenced, electronic-based indie-rock production with the poetic lyrics and hook-laden vocals of Matt Shaw has created a sound that is reminiscent of electro-pop giants The Flaming Lips, The Notwist, and The Postal Service, yet at the same time, is inarguably original.

Tallulah Rendall Releases New Video

Tallulah Rendall recently released a video for the first single from her upcoming third album, The Banshee And The Moon.  Check it out below.

If I Dropped By… with Joe Salgo of Of Clocks And Clouds

This week I posed my "If I Dropped By..." question to Joe Salgo from the Brooklyn based band Of Clocks And Clouds.  They've been busy working on new music which we hope to hear very soon.  Continue reading to see what I found out during my hypothetical visit to his home.

Quirky NY Chick (QNYC): ... and brought a friend who didn't know your music, what song of yours would you play for them and why?

Joe Salgo (JS): Our new single "What You Need" which we plan to release very very soon...
