Rex Manning Day music blog features Borrowed Beams of Light on Top Indie Pop Tracks of 2014
Rex Manning Day music blog included Borrowed Beams of Light’s “Drawing Blanks” in their Top Indie Pop Tracks of 2014!
With a black-and-white music video and an impressive whistle that will leave you with a shit-eating grin on your face from start to finish (you’ve been forewarned…) this poppy track definitely stood out to us during the first half of 2014. The group is based out of Virginia, and you can buy their new album for $10 via Bandcamp.
Check out the video here!

EP PREMIERE: Pollen s/t debut EP full stream on Styrofoam Drone
Styrofoam Drone has the full stream of the debut s/t EP from Austin garage/punk trio Pollen, officially out on June 10th!
[The EP is] built around boy/girl vocals and a constant guitar shimmer. Crunchy guitars come backed by sunny vocal harmonies and throbbing bass in “Not a Test,” which starts the EP with an invigorating pop punch…“Short Selling” comes with a bouncy post-punk flare, sounding tight and wonky with plenty of shouting. It’s a different look at their sound compared to “Apartment,” which weaves angular guitars and bass into one stressful twang. The fluttering chorus is driven by Morgan’s breathy vocals, followed by rumbling bass lines and dusty guitars.
Check it out here and pre-order the release on cassette or download a digital copy!

Tucson Weekly previews The River Monks show
Tucson Weekly previews The River Monks’ upcoming show on June 5th:
On their new album, Home Is the House, released last week…the group continues to create majestic, full-sounding folk music with rich harmonies up front on nearly every song. It’s a lovely record, especially recommended for Lumineers and Mumford & Sons fans looking for something with a bit more richness and depth.

Des Moines Is Not Boring reviews The River Monks’ album “Home Is The House”
Fantastic review of The River Monks’ album Home Is The House by David Murphy for Des Moines Is Not Boring:
The River Monks are a folk band, ostensibly, but their work transcends any sort of traditional Americana. Banjo, fiddle and acoustic instruments are used often, but the production, the vocals and the harmonies are so grandiose that it pours the simple intricacies into a stunning twelve tracks that I was enraptured by…This is severe thunderstorm music: electric, cleansing, and a feel that overwhelms the senses and reminds you that there are forces at work bigger than all of us.
