Maryland's Cotton Jones consists of a male/female duet and they've released three LPs that haven't garnered too much attention in most parts, but after some excessive touring and the release of their third EP, Sit Beside Your Vegetables, on Februrary 22 from Suicide Squeeze Records some more

CASCADES by The Mantles

Cascades

San Francisco's garage/psychedelic power pop group The Mantles have a solid new EP, Pink Information (buy), out on Mexican Summer.  They released their self-titled debut LP on Siltbreeze (buy) a couple years ago as well a single for 'Bad Design' on Slumberland. Check out 'Bad Design' and

GOOD FEELINGS by Sea Lions

Good Feelings
I Loved Her So Much

Sea Lions are a group of guys out of Oxnard, CA who dole out some good ol' jangly surf pop.  They just signed to Slumberland Records a few weeks ago, which means that there should be a debut LP sometime soon.  How

NERO by Little Tybee

Nero
Passion Seekers

This blog is still fairly new (almost 8 months) so it's still a very welcome surprise to discover some exciting new music from my inbox, and Paper Garden Records is developing a nice little track record.  First, it was with the Alcoholic Faith Mission and now we have Little Tybee.  They are a 5 to 10

ON LAND by TV Girl

On Land
If You Want It (You Got It)

One of my Super Music Friends over at Miles of Music recently asked me if I had anything from TV Girl.  I didn't, but after looking, finding, and listening, I was glad that I did.  This unsigned duo from San Diego puts together some nice, sunny pop.  At the moment, all there is is a 4-track self-titled

BEACHES by Golden Grrrls

Beaches
The Red Sea

Golden Grrrls is a Scottish trio that have recently released their first single 'Beaches' on Night School in the UK.  It’s limited to an edition of 300 so you need to grab it soon if you want it.  Take a listen to the single above along with a song

SEANCE ON A WET AFTERNOON by Girls Names

Seance on a Wet Afternoon

I Lose (previously on CWR)

Today's post is going up a little later than usual.  I've been busy listening to another record that was released earlier today.  But, there's great news afloat with CWR favorite Girls Names announcement of a new LP, Dead to Me (pre-order), out on April 26 on Slumberland Records.  A few of their

[on repeat] PERSONA by Superhumanoids

Persona
Cranial Contest

Superhumanoids are a fantastic four piece out of LA that is opening up the sold out Local Natives show Feb 26 at Disney Concert Music Hall.  Their debut EP, Urgency, came out the middle of last year on the LA label Hit City USA Records, which is home to CWR favorites The Franks and

DRIVE YERSELF CRAZY by Little Jungles

Drive Yerself Crazy
Old Love Fading

This quirky, fun psychedelic little outfit from Canada is the brainchild of Matthew Niemann.  His debut EP, Wuts Goin Thur Yer Head, is loaded with shiny, reverbed melodies.  It's definitely worth a click of the play button above and if you

GET FOUND by Bass Drum of Death

Get Found
Heart Attack Kid

I have been very anxiously awaiting a full-length from Mississippi grime/garage rockers Bass Drum of Death, and now there isn't much longer to wait.  GB City will be available on February 22nd from Inflated Records.  It's what you'd expect out of Mississippi these days (see Flight) with the

ALL I NEED by Radiohead

All I Need

I had a different post in mind today, but seeing that I awoke to some very good news of a new record on a Valentine's Day that I'll be sharing with a person I love dearly...it just felt right to post what very well may be their only 'nice', sincere(?) love song.

ONE BY WORDS by Catwalk

One by Words
(Please) Don't Break Me

Catwalk is a band of 19 year olds from Oxnard, California.  They look like they'll be in the business of making good poppy, ethereal, hazy, and dancy tunes for some time.  There have been four singles released with the two most recent being on Captured Tracks. 'One by Words,' came out on January 18 (buy) and is an upbeat tune that catches you

GET AWAY by Yuck

Get Away
Georgia

I'll admit, I spent quite some time avoiding listening to anything by Yuck primarily based on the band name alone.  I still can't remember how or where I finally listened to something, but the self-titled debut LP ended up in my phone about a month ago and I must say that I was very pleasantly

GREENLEAF by Generationals

Greenleaf
Carrying the Torch - (previously on CWR)

One of Chromewavesradio's favorite bands to bounce around to has released a song to the internet that will be on its upcoming LP.  New Orleans' Generationals new song, 'Greenleaf' will be included on the upcoming LP, Actor-Caster, which is due out on March 29 from Park the Van records.  This song isn't quite as catchy as anything off the

CALYER by Beach Fossils

Calyer
Face It - (previously on CWR)

Beach Fossils have a new EP, What A Pleasure, coming out on February 22 from Captured Tracks Records.  In listening to it over the weekend, they've definitely advanced from the lo-fi sound of their first much enjoyed 2010 self-titled LP.  The same sunny, jangly pop exists, but it's crisper and

PERIPHERAL VISION by Sea Pinks

Peripheral Vision
Japanese Knotweed

Sea Pinks is a side project from the drummer for Ireland’s Girls Names who have been featured on here before.  Here he channels similar influences (indiepop, 60s, garage) with a little sunnier disposition.  He released a couple cassette singles and then put together a full band to re-record some of

DO YOU REALLY WANNA KNOW by Papercuts

Do You Really Wanna Know
Do What You Will

Papercuts are from San Francisco and have a resume' that goes four albums deep.  They've done it very quietly and subdued...much like their lazy, echoey, at time haunting, 60s inspired music so I suppose it's a perfect fit.  Their fourth LP will be released on March 1 on Sub Pop! records and doesn't

FLOWERS BLOOM by High Highs

Flowers Bloom
Open Season

Late last year New York's High Highs made an impression over the interweb with their pleasant, folky pop track 'Open Season.'  Now they've released the tune 'Flowers Bloom' into the world that trades the guitars for more synth and evokes a more dreamy mood. Simply put...it's quite gorgeous.  I like

ALONE by James Pants

Alone
Darlin'

On first listen, James Pants pretty much immediately caught my attention. There really isn't a clear category to throw him into, but he's yet another Texas artist making great music.  He manages to create the fuzz I enjoy so much and mesh it with electro, soul, boogie, lo-fi, beats, and a variety of 80s

[on repeat] THE MAN FROM SAN SEBASTIAN by DeVotchKa

The Man From San Sebastian
The Clockwise Witness - (from A Mad and Faithful Telling)

Our favorite majestic gypsy rockers from Colorado are back with their fifth LP, and it's a good one.  On March 1st, DeVotchKa will release 100 Lovers on Anti-Records.  They will be making their way to L.A. on March 12th to perform at The Music Box on a tour that finds them ultimately
