Homedrone: Watch a New Scott Low Video

By Gabe Vodicka | October 21, 2013 11:37am

Efren frontman Scott Low recently released a new solo album, The Stories I Shouldn't Tell, via SLO PRO Records. The album traverses some wide-ranging territory—the first single, "Cactusgrass," was a shadowy folk-hop number, while much of the album digs into a more straightforward Americana sound.

The latter is where you'll find "Stuck in the Country," the second single from the record, a video for which can be seen below. It's simple and sepia-toned and country-tinged.

Check it after the jump.

Homedrone: Hear a Song from Ruby the RabbitFoot's Normaltown Records Debut

By Gabe Vodicka | October 2, 2013 2:31pm

Today Normaltown Records announced their latest signee: local outfit Ruby the RabbitFoot. The group, led by songwriter Ruby Kendrick, established itself with the No Weight No Chain LP, a solid collection of folky pop tunes that centered on Kendrick's airy sense of melody.

But if "Coffee & Honey," a video for which can be streamed after the jump, is any indication, the band's Normaltown debut—said to be called New as Dew and out spring 2014—will be a vast departure for the group.

Homedrone: Flagpole Premieres! Elf Power: 'Lift the Shell'

By Gabe Vodicka | September 18, 2013 10:38am

Elf Power celebrates the release of its 12th studio album, Sunlight on the Moon, with a show this Saturday at The World Famous. (Read our Q&A with frontman Andrew Rieger.) At the show, folks can grab advance copies of the record, which is officially out Oct. 1 via Orange Twin. The band has been teasing the album for several weeks, leaking two singles, the ebullient title track and the fuzzed-out "A Grey Cloth Covering My Face."

Today, Flagpole is excited to premiere an exclusive third track from the album. "Lift the Shell" is an insistent, invigorating trip of a song. It's also the album's most experimental track, with all its (literal) bells and whistles, though a luminescent pop core shines through.

Stream the song after the jump.
