EP Review: Technicolor Hearts – Corpus Christi EP
Monday, April 16, 2012
Austin duo Technicolor Hearts have an eclectic sound; instrumentation ranging from synths and drums machines to violins and Naomi Cherie’s haunting melodies soar in and out of the landscape of the Corpus Christi EP, a three song journey through a desert landscape with the bright lights of the city on the horizon. “Pocahaunted” immediately reminds [...]

“California” starts out sounding every bit of the Old West; a little dark and gloomy, a little sinister – midnight campfires, shadows cast everywhere by the full moon. Richmond’s own The Diamond Center (they are practically my neighbors and I didn’t even know it!) play a brand of spaced out psychedelic rock, churning guitars with [...]
MP3: TV Girl – I Wonder Who She’s Kissing Now
Posted by Sirens · Leave a Comment
TV Girl just premiered a new track via Stereogum off of their upcoming debut…in summary, it fits the TV Girl mold. It’s not quite as immediately catchy as “Benny And The Jetts”, but it definitely has it’s charms and repeated listens have it growing on me. The simple fact that I can give it that [...]
