Kick Kick Snare premieres Borrowed Beams of Light single “On The Wings Of A Bug”

Kick Kick Snare premieres the title track from Borrowed Beams of Lights forthcoming album On The Wings Of A Bug!

On The Wings Of A Bug is a three minute burst of glittering indie pop, ushered along by driving guitars, big harmonies and witty lyrics. It feels more mature than past releases, but in the sense that the songwriter has experienced more. The youthful bounce and well rounded hooks are still present in abundance, but they feel more calculated and well traveled. The track showcases a strong tendency towards Fleetwood Mac and will easily appeal to fans of the Elephant Six Collective.

Check out the track at Kick Kick Snare and pre-order the album here!

Des Moines Cityview interviews Annalibera

Des Moines Cityview interviews Anna Gebhardt of Annalibera in advance of their tour kick-off show at Vaudeville Mews – on the intersection of her training and instincts, her comfort level with the speed of their local ascent (“you don’t get to decide when people like you”), and performing her own compositions:

When I’m singing opera, I choke up,” she said. “I think it’s because I’m not the authority on those songs. Some amazing composer is. But when performing my songs, this is how I want them. I can sing them with bad technique if I want to, but I don’t get nervous. I’m comfortable on stage then.

The Peculiar Pretzelmen premiere “John The Revelator” on Popa’s Tunes!

The Peculiar Pretzelmen premiere their version of blues staple “John The Revelator”, which “takes shape amidst a stormy build, with the layered swell of theremin, electric mandola, and moody baritone sax punctuated with expectant gongs and torn open by the chillingly rabid call and sweetly echoing response that imbue the prophet’s declaration with terror and excitement.”

The Peculiar Pretzelmen lurk in the shadows emitting eerie sounds and spectral lights luring the curious and adventurous down dark alleys and untrodden lanes to flashy Cabaret’s and conspiratle Pubs. Whispers from unseen corners rise to a claterous chant Deeper, Darker, Weirder. Deeper, Darker, Weirder. Here at Popa’s Tunes world headquaters we are fixated on things Deeper. Darker, Weirder, and The Deacon with his ‘Felix the Cat’ bag of magical intruments and the mysterious M. Incroyable of The Peculiar Pretzelmen have a voodoo spell on us and everything they do gets us dancing like banshees with rubber chickens around ceremonial fires…

Check out “John The Revelator” over at Popa’s Tunes!

The Deli Magazine KC premieres The Peculiar Pretzelmen’s new song “Howling Gale”

The Peculiar Pretzelmen have premiered their new track “Howling Gale” from the forthcoming Gentlemen Scoundrels: Rule Book Volume I EP with The Deli Magazine KC! Michelle Bacon of The Deli describes the song as

a bare bones but vicious three-minute attack that is simultaneously sparse and mammoth. M. Incroyable’s aggressive vocal phrasings tower over his austere banjo riff. The Deacon drives each song with unique percussion, which, according to their bio, is “less drum kit and more spoils of an old man’s work bench.” The chicks and booms of various found objects round out the gritty, in-your-face vibe of the track.
