Someone has a new album coming out, and their name is Oberhofer. Or should I say his name is Oberhofer, Brad Oberhofer to be exact. The 21-year-old boy from Brooklyn has been making beautiful music for a while now. One of his best songs being, “o0oOo0Oo.” Actually, I take that back; all of his songs are quite pleasing to the ears. Although he has released lots of amazing songs in the past, Timecapsules II is his first LP release. From the buzz that he has created from his two EP’s, his new album is sure to be everyone’s latest obsession. Listen to his songs just once, and you too will be hooked on his harmonious vocals, jangly guitars, and light-hearted melodies.

Old Oberhofer: “o0oOo0Oo”
New Oberhofer: “Heart”

Malcom Lacey aka Arrange hailing from Fort Lauderdale, FL mixes ambient vibes with delicate vocals. “Sun Shower” is off of the new album Five Years with the Sun. Ethereal and charming with a twinge of sorrow, “Sun Shower” is the perfect song to reflect on a beautiful Friday!

The four piece punk band from Brooklyn plans to put out their next record Blowout this year. If it sounds anything like their recent release, ‘Son of an American,’ it will be a power charged record for sure. The song is extremely catchy; it is one I have been listening to non-stop for weeks now.   The So So Glos is my newest guilty pleasure, because it brings me back to my childhood and my Warped Tour days.

Listen: Son of an American

King Krule- The Noose of Jah City

London’s very own Archy Marshall is only a 17-years old boy who looks far too young to produce the deep vocals that engulf his first EP. The Noose is haunting yet dreamy. You will float slowly through this track, and through the remainder of his five-track album.

RIYL: Youth Lagoon, Twin Shadow

Rostam Batmanglij- Don’t Let it Get to You

Vampire Weekend and Discovery member Rostam Batmanglij released his second song from his solo venture. The sound is similar to Vampire Weekend’s african influences, but with a much more distorted and experimental vibe.

RIYL: Vampire Weekend, Animal Collective

Guided by Voices: The Unsinkable Fats Domino

As of 2010 the indie legend GBV is back and has just released their new 21-track album, Let’s Go Eat the Factory. If one album isn’t enough, their second album Class Clown Spots a UFO of 2012 will be released May 22nd.

Sharon Van E is a singer/songwriter straight out of Brooklyn, New York. Although she was born and raised in New Jersey, she ventured off to Tennessee to attend college, where she was influenced by a wide variety of music genres. After she returned to New Jersey, Kyp Malone from TV on the Radio influenced her to begin a career in music. She took his advice, and in 2009 she released her first full-length album, and put out another the following year. She has also recorded songs with The Antlers and The National. This girl is on a roll, and she’s not stopping there. She plans to release her third album ‘Tramp’ next month.  Sharon’s album is just one of the many great albums set to be released in February.

Sharon Van Etten: Serpants

TTT-BG-575x325

Two days ago the UK quarter TTT’s released their debut album Ester. Some aren’t fond of the band’s name, but at least the name comes from a good cause. They named it after Eastern Germany’s environmental friendly recycled trabant cars. If you can look past the oddity of their name, they are definitely a band to follow in 2012. The TTT’s can be summed up in four words: Electropop, reverb-heavy, shoegaze.  Don’t take my word for it though, listen to them for yourself.   Start with: You Wish You Were Red and Candy Girl.

Trailer Trash Tracys: Candy Girl

Sleigh Bells: Comeback Kid

Today Sleigh Bells released their second song from their upcoming album ‘Reign of Terror.’  Their second album is definitely a lot more polished and a lot less DIY than their prior album. Crunchy guitars and Alexis’s sugary vocals encompass the sounds of the first two songs off their long awaited follow up album.   Remember, the new album will be available on VALENTINE’S DAY!! <3

03 Not Mine

With a lo-fi sound, featuring a synthy keyboard lazily following around the strong drum beat, Grape Soda makes the most of the 2 minute play time with the interesting vocals of Mat Lewis that assert themselves as the focal point of the song. While it may sound like an early demo of Matt & Kim, the simplicity of their music is possibly the most appealing aspect, a simple pop song provided with a lively, passionate feeling by the vocals.

Grape Soda is Athens brotherly love duo Mat and Ryan Lewis, who hopefully will soon take the stage in our Live in the Lobby series. Until then enjoy their short little tune, “Not Mine.”

-Will Guerin
