Fresh Track: Fever Blanket “You & The Things You Do”
Late last year, Thought on Tracks contributor Brett McGrath stumbled upon local lo-fi, surf pop group Fever Blanket via Bandcamp. Since the discovery, the band has remained largely a mystery. I have yet to see any listings for live performances associated with the band. Their Facebook page offers only first names of the band’s members. However, today I was encouraged to learn that Dan Snodgrass from The Bonesetters recently made contact about a show and a possible interview. They exist! What I do know is this: they make damn good music. On February 4th, Fever Blanket released a new track entitled “You & The Things You Do.” Stream the track below, and visit their Bandcamp page for a free download.

Fresh Track: Silver Swans “Let it Happen”
San Francisco’s electro pop outfit Silver Swans dropped their newest album entitled Forever earlier this month. The band is consists of vocalist Ann Yu along with musician/producer Jon Waters and they make a very calming blend of atmospheric synths and dreamy vocals. In a similar sound of Beach House and The Knife, this is pop music best served during periods of relaxation. Check out my favorite single from the new album, “Let It Happen”, below. If you like what you hear, you can purchase the album on their Bandcamp page for only $10.

Fresh Track: Field Trip “Give Me A Break”
My ears tend to perk up when Bandcamp Hunter recommends Melbourne artists, as the Australian metropolis serves as the stomping grounds of the site’s anonymous curator. BCH recently picked a winner with ScotDrakula, who we featured in a Band to Watch post last week. From the bowels of a lonely Valentine’s Day, rose a gem in the form of another Melbourne artist – Field Trip.
Field Trip released a free EP entitled Cream yesterday. The four-track effort is filled with the same dream pop guitar licks that served as the backbone of Real Estate’s Days. This is particularly true of “Give Me A Break” featured below. Stream the track and visit Field Trip’s Bandcamp page for a free download of their EP. It does not disappoint.
