In April, Little Tybee are releasing their second full-length, Humorous to Bees. But since I managed to get my hands on an advanced copy, I can already go ahead and tell you that it will be one of the best records to come out of Atlanta this year. The song-writing is focused, their technical prowess is flawless, and the sound is timeless yet distinct. Atlanta’s orchestral-pop scene is kind of ridiculous right now, and this album is another reason why. They have some interesting plans on how they will release the record, which I’ll have more details on soon, but in the meantime, Little Tybee are playing with Adron tonight (Thursday, Jan 27) at The Earl, so here’s a cut from Humorous to Bees that includes an Adron guest spot:

The Selmanaires just released a couple of new tracks on their blog. They even created a video for the lead single, so here it is, plus audio of the other track. Then be sure to go to their blog and download the whole package:

An Atlanta Mp3 Trilogy: The Selmanaires, Today The Moon, Tomorrow The Sun, Snowden

There is an unreal amount of good music coming out Atlanta just this month, and here’s a tiny fraction of it:

Seemingly out of nowhere, The Selmanaires just dropped their newest album, a 6 song, 30 minute EP called Tempo Temporal. You can find plenty of info on it at their blog. In the past I generally found about 25% of The Selmanaires stuff brilliant, and the other 75% not very enjoyable, but after just one listen I’m loving everything about this newest effort. I had heard rumours that the new stuff was something of a departure, and they have definitely veered in a much more palatable direction for me. The new record will be available on their upcoming tour that begins at The Earl this Thursday with Atlas Sound and Broadcast, but they are streaming the entire thing on their myspace and I highly recommend giving it a listen. Here’s the single they released that features guest vocals from Adron:

Today The Moon, Tomorrow The Sun

ttmtts

This weekend the great band with the long name will be dropping their 3rd album. It is yet another EP, containing 5 new songs along with a few old favourites remixed. It is titled Heavyweight Champions, and will be available at their release show this Saturday night at the Drunken Unicorn. Fans of TTMTTS will find this new release as enjoyable as their previous work, but there is an energy and magic this band possesses live that they have still yet to fully capture in the studio. I love the remixes, but the original section seems to lack a bit of momentum at times. It might be more a matter of preference for me than quality though, and overall it’s still well worth checking out. They will be posting new songs all week on their myspace page, but here is my favourite from it:

Today The Moon, Tomorrow The Sun : Bones

While we continue to anxiously await the follow up to 2006′s Anti Anti, Snowden has given us a little something to hold us over for now. They recently contributed a cover to a tribute album for Bauhaus offshoot Love & Rockets. The compilation features contributions from the likes of Black Francis and A Place To Bury Strangers along with many others. Here is their take on “No Words No More”:
