I've never been a particularly organized person. I've often suspected that it could be a major reason why I never finished my PhD when CoolMom and I were at UW. While it's never really bitten me on the job; with the flood of new releases coming in as summer comes to an end, I'm finding myself feeling a little swamped.
There really are a lot of great sounding albums by great artists hitting us all at once, and I will get to all of them one way or another. I did do a couple of reviews of summer releases for Speak Into My Good Eye that I'm not sure I ever mentioned here, though, so:
- Pity Sex, Feast of Love. This is the debut album from this Ann Arbor, MI quartet and it trades in the sounds of late eighties, early nineties shoegaze pop. It's definitely worth a listen; and, if you like it, you can check them out this Sunday at Asbury Lanes along with Modern Baseball and The World Is A Beautiful Place And I Am No Longer Afraid To Die.
- Harper's Fellow, Thanks for Tonight. Another excellent debut, this one comes from an Asbury Park-based band of neo-country / folk rockers who are about to head out on tour. They'll be back, though, playing Asbury's Berkeley Bar on August 30th.
I'm anticipating getting myself organized and getting pretty busy reviewing albums as well as writing about my experience at LA's FYF Fest this weekend. Some of it may show up over at Speak Into My Good Eye, but you can always stop by here, follow me on Twitter or Tumblr, or "like" CoolDad Music on Facebook; and you won't miss anything.
