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.
