Gabriel Walsh’s current project The Earthly Frames are set to release a new album January 11 and Substream has the premiere today of the first song/video, “A Doorbell for Finite Beings”. The song uses the theory of Maxwell’s Demon to tell a story about a couple being forced apart. The song and the video are both an exercise in controlled chaos, which Substream says, “is definitely the drawing point.” Check it out below!
Nashville’s Okey Dokey just dropped a premiere of a new video for the track, “When They Get Older” featuring help from Rayland Baxter and Nick Bockrath (Cage The Elephant).

Danny Golden just released his sophomore LP, Old Love, and is about to embark on a small tour supporting that record. To celebrate the album/tour, he’s put out a new video for the track, “Old Mate,” which features actor John Noble of Lord of the Rings and Fringe amongst other things. The track is a bluesy alt-country stomper, and is all about facing your past and reconciling regret with the present. Head over to PopMatters to read up on this video’s premiere.
The Lovely Sparrows, the longtime Austin area project of Shawn Jones, have made their return from a seven year hiatus from the pop music world to bring you this video for “A Light,” which just premiered on Billboard today! The video is done by Fantagraphics artist, Derek Van Gieson, and features in depth stylized animation of a character living in a post-apocalyptic world on a quest. Musically, “A Light” is soft indie rock, with frenetic riffs and a feeling of constant motion; kind of like a swirling undercurrent that pulls you in and holds you under. Take a peek at the video below and get excited for The Lovely Sparrows first LP in 7 years, Shake The Shadow, which will be out this Friday on Abandoned Love Records.
LA-based Lisa Papineau has announced her fourth solo record for release on February 15 and shared a video for the title track at Parade Magazine, who say, “Minimally produced with uber-present vocals underlying a contemplative and simple stop animation video, the song and video showcase Papineau’s lush and lovely vocals.” The video was created by longtime creative collaborator Betsy Kenyon and you can check it out below!
ATX’s Coattails will be releasing their new EP shortly on November 9. From that Imaginary Friends EP, they’ve shared a new video for “Clocks & Knives.” This track is an alt-rock lullaby of sorts, and the video runs with the theme of the title of the EP. Striking electric guitar rings out and echoes through the whole duration of the song, meanwhile the vocals are bright and in the front of the mix, making for a solid rock track with sentimental notes. Take a peek below or head over to New Noise to read up on the track/EP.
