Record Store Day with The Walkmen, The Very Most & Beach House!

It's Record Store Day today, so you should be hunting for your desired vinyls, cds or music collectibles. Among today's releases, I haven't found any song that has impressed me yet (few exceptions), but that doesn't mean there aren't new tunes you should be checking, and isn't the Day an occasion to celebrate great tunes? So here you have, three personal favourites, adding cracking new songs to their already incredible catalogue!

The Walkmen is back! "Heaven", their new album will be released the 4 of June, so is just a matter of a couple of months... but the wait is going to be tough, because judging by the first tunes we have been able to hear, the stunning, amazing "Heaven"  and "Heartbreaker", it promises nothing but greatness. Have your say below! And please The Walkmen, include Barcelona in the tour!

The Very Most and the Irish national football team? When Bloodbuzzed's dearest friend Jeremy Jensen told me about it, I was really shocked. Well, seems the band got involved into an Indiecater project celebrating the team made it to UEFA EURO 2012, contributing with the song "Sing Up for the Boys in Green", also the title of the album. Quintaessential TVM' sound, full of hooks, gorgeous backing vocals, a killer chorus (I hear The Housemartins!) and a joyous vibe, the tune, with all due respect for Irish players, is so precious that should be reserved to homage the most gifted team on Earth: Barça, of course. 
And the third proposal is Beach House, who is offering another glimpse of their (believe me) superb forthcoming album, "Bloom", on a special release for the Record Store Day, with a blue, very limited 7" for vinyl collectors, including the non-album track "Equal Mind". "Lazuli" is, again, haunting. What a band!

Veronica Falls, The Mynabirds & Beach House are back!

Three new songs from adored bands of this blog, plus the confirmation we'll hear new music from The School very very soon, as they will release "Never Thought I'd See The Day" first single of the forthcoming album, "Reading Too Much Into Things Like Everything" on March 26th. Great Friday!

First, Veronica Falls has just premiered "My Heart Beats", backed with another newbie, "Killing Time". Quintessential Veronica Falls sound and style! And with a psychedelic video too!

Another favourite of this blog, The Mynabirds, is also announcing their sophomore and eagerly awaited comeback, "Generals" for this June. But as Laura Burnhenn knows, three months of wait is too cruel, so she's offering us the free download of its first single. You should do it!


And finally, have you heard "Myth", the first song of "Bloom", the return of Beach House. Then what are you waiting for?
