Bishop Morocco- "Old Boys"

New Tracksadmin2 Comments

Nearly everything about this Bishop Morocco track, "Old Boys," feels familiar and done before. However, there's just a certain charm to it that keeps it playing softly in the back of my head, making me excited for the band's forthcoming EP on Arts & Crafts. Title: Old Boys. Date: March 13th.

I suppose the production is pretty great, and features some nice, light swirls of guitars and synths. The lazy vocals create a pretty sedate attitude, which ends up being more alluring than boring. Definitely something I'd recommend if you were into that Craft Spells album last year.

Timber Timbre- "Black Water"

Timber Timbre drops a video for Creep On Creepin' On's "Black Water," which just might be one of the creepiest albums of 2011.

The video as directed by "Exploding Motor Car," and I thought everything in this video was an awesome, underwater sea urchin until I realized they're all puppets. Hooray for fooling me, I guess. Still, I think seeing all these things bring this lost diver up to the light is a little spine-tingling.

Watch a review for Creep On here. Buy it on Arts & Crafts.

Timber Timbre- "Black Water"

Back when my blog was bumpin' in '09, Timber Timbre was one of the most interesting projects I had come across that year. It's all masterminded by Canadian songwriter Taylor Kirk. He's got a voice that's equally beautiful and odd, and most of his tunes take an eerie approach to timeless pop and folk music. "Black Water" is the first single to drop from Timber Timbre's upcoming album, Creep On Creepin' On, and I'm really loving it. The bouncing vocal reverb, worn out chorus, shy piano chords, and the ending build of instrumentation make this an album I'm highly anticipating.

Creep On will be released via Arts & Crafts on 4/5. Hit up the pre-order now and get a single for the track streaming below. Nice!
