New release on our Cakes and Tapes, this time from Brooklyn’s pop darlings Lizard Kisses. Please support us by downloading, spreading the word and/or buying the limited edition cassette! Head on to Cakes and Tapes’ website to learn more about them.

Lizard Kisses is a boy-girl duo based in Brooklyn, NY, consisting of Cory Siegler and Marc Merza. Their slow, dreamy pop tunes sound like anything you love, but drenched in honey. We hope you like honey. Even if you don’t, you’ll still love them. If you have a something beating deep in your chest that, even vaguely, resembles a heart, that is.

[full streaming] Tasseomancy, “Ulalume”

Post date September 1, 2011

The new album from Toronto’s female duo Tasseomancy (ex-Ghost Bees) has just come out. Drawing (pretty decent!) influences from European neofolk, Ulalume happens to be eerier, denser and even darker than their first album. Also, it’s spookier than your favorite horror movie and will definitely haunt you as you dive into its entrails. The Line of Best Fit has Ulalume up on their Soundcloud account so you can check it before you buy the limited edition candle (yeah, you’re right – it’s a candle! with matches!), or, if you’re not a fan of wax and fire, there’s of course a cd/vinyl edition on Out Of This Spark.

Brand new video from the Silver Series, a SXSW collab between Invisible Children, Friends With Both Arms, La Blogotheque et al. 25 bands were filmed performing in a park during the last SXSW week. FWBA will be posting more videos from these sessions soon, and we’ll re-post our favorites. This one’s from sweet folkies Wye Oak, swayin’ on a swingset as they played the song Holy Holy, from their latest album, Civilian, out now on City Slang. You can also listen to the studio version of the song on the SC widget below.
