MISRA

The newest release from Cleveland's beloved indie-bedroom-pop outfit Bears.

Bears have been chasing the perfect pop melody since 2005 with two albums, two EPs and a couple 7" singles released on various labels around the world.

Bears take the mellow twee-pop of Belle & Sebastian, The Shins and Elliott Smith and give it their own particular sheen.

Palomar

All Things, Forests

    If you think you know what Palomar is all about, you're wrong: the Brooklyn band's new album "All Things, Forests" will shatter your expectations and stop you dead in your tracks. The charm and playfulness of the band's previous releases is still present, but the songwriting has rocketed from bright to stellar on this, their fourth album. Frontwoman Rachel Warren sings with a confidence heretofore unseen and the results are incredible, the songs shifting in that subtle yet defining change from clever to sublime. The careful arrangements and the depth of thought that have gone into the making of this record constitute a monumental leap forward for the band. "All Things, Forests" expresses the tangled feelings of loss, doubt, joy, wistfulness and the struggle to keep going. This band is clearly at the height of their powers in terms of musicianship, songwriting, and lyricism, and they've crafted a rock album of enduring quality. Prepare yourself for a record that will invite itself up for tea and biscuits, and have your clothes off by the second cup.

    Hallelujah The Hills

    Collective Psychosis Begone

      Hallelujah The Hills is one of the most admirably devoted, unconventional bands to have come out of Boston in recent years. Boston has likewise been waiting for them as demonstrated by packed shows and regular accolades from the Boston Phoenix (where they are now up for an award for Best New Band) and the Boston Weekly Dig. The band's line-up of bass, drums, cello, Moog, trumpet, melodica, sampler and plenty of guitars grants them the space to expand and contract as their melodies and arrangements see fit. Think of them as the sonic equivalent to Willy Wonka's ferry ride, seemingly random yet utterly precise, first drifting along a chocolate river with a gentle lulling sound then hurtling you into the unknown with a thundering danger until you arrive somewhere entirely new, a fantastic destination full of wonder. Unlike some of their anthemic peers, Hallelujah The Hills find solace in the space between their crashing crescendos and choral peaks and that's a subtle strength of the band. It grants the songs a great diversity, from amped-up campfire sing-alongs to sombre ballads.
