Highlights of what’s been running through the speakers here at OUTLANDOS HQ the last month or so:
1. Luke Doucet and the White Falcon, Blood’s Too Rich
I think I’m in love. Seriously. Massive man/guitar crush. He is wicked. Don’t let the fact that he’s Sarah McLachlan’s guitarist spook you.
2. Broken Records, Until the Earth Begins to Part
Edinburg seven-piece (apparently, Edinburg is having an uberchic moment), old U2 meets one fierce violin.
3. The Silver Seas, Château Revenge
Yes, still on this one 
. Just can’t seem to stop. You know a record holds up when you can keep it on replay. Daniel Tashian (son of Barry Tashian, of legendary New England garage rockers The Remains) et al. Château Revenge’s on sale this month at your favorite usual spots, sneak listens to almost every single song, its entirety, at the links below (we featured them all last month on THE DAILY DOSE):

So I’ve talked about these guys a billion times and in fact will be featuring almost this entire record on THE DAILY DOSE all next month… it’s that good. This is their third release, the other two are equally brilliant. They had to change their name in the middle of everything which was a slight bummer, they used to be The Bees (US). Either way, I love them. I bet you will too. Daniel Tashian (son of Barry Tashian, of legendary New England garage rockers The Remains) et al.
2. Jets Overhead, No Nations
Canadian outfit, this is their sophomore effort. It took little while to grow on me (I love that) and then I found myself turning it louder and louder. Kind of an updated Human League sort of vibe. That doesn’t make it sound cool, I know — but it is.
3. The Beatles, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
Inspired by a hands-down brilliant presentation OUTLANDOS cofounder Scott Freiman has been giving out and about (so good we’ve seen it twice!), we had a good solid listen to the entire thing the other night on the couch. It’s important to do that I think, to go back, to give something your full attention again (even if it’s the millionth time).
