Explode Into Into


I'm still on the thumbs up side of "Portland Best New Band" Explode Into Colors and in addition to the previous on-repeat track "Sharpen the Knife" you can snag a recording of their "Wooden Ghost" number over here (via new buddies Delicious Scopitone). In other EIC news, according to MBV they've got three 7"s coming out this summer, one each on KRS, M'Lady's Records and Just For the Hell of It. The 7" material will be collected on an EP and their full-length will be released on Kill Rock Stars. Ready set go.

Also, reporting in on a couple other bands with works in the works.


Trailer Trash Tracys sent me a self-proclaimed "very rough bedroom demo" of their song "Half Naked Screamers." No matter how rough, it sounds great. Airy and fuzzy and warped and everything else one would love from the other song you can grab from them, "Strangling Good Guys." Can't wait to hear an official version.

Family Portrait hit me up with another of their tracks, "Babyskins." It follows what one might expect after hearing their Underwater Peoples comp featuring track "Mega Secrets." The track they sent me's got that same golden sheen, this time with new and improved Elvis Costello-sounding vocal take. Sounds youthful and carefree in the place to be.

If you haven't already, download the Summer Showcase here then preorder it with an email to underwaterpeoples@gmail.com (via other new buddies BxF).
