NEW JULIAN LYNCH - EARS

Freaks-worthy guitar solo on the end of this new Julian Lynch track "Ears," streaming from his blog Space Mountain. This plus that "Untitled Jam" he sent me the other day (and Chocolate Bobka posted upon) are his newest material in a good while, since Orange You Glad wasn't exactly new (even his cut for the new compilation - yes that's coming this week - had been on the shelf for a while).

The "Untitled Jam" seems like it could be buried between tracks on the first half of OYG's low-key hooks, sort of muffled. "Ears," on the other hand, is a little more intent on letting itself be known. As opposed to creeping in from behind your subconscious, the track gallops in on some "I Want Candy" shit before offering up the rootsy solo. Sort of reminds me of a more clear version of the first song on that Weed Diamond demo. It goes without saying, but I really can't wait to hear more of his new stuff.

EASY

Nate from Pure Ecstasy sent over the band's "Easy" single yesterday, along with its b-side, "Baby." A welcome addition to the handful of Pure Ecstasy tracks out there for the masses to eat up, "Easy" offers more warm reverbed goodness to nuzzle up against songs to soundtrack that good old seasonal change - crisp nights, crisp leaves, apple crisp.

Details on purchasing info and label coming soon (EDIT: label's Light Lodge outa Austin, pre-orders are available now), but if you end up pre-ordering the white vinyl (assuming a 7") you receive "a rad painted cover." If it's anything like the Future Nostalgia packaging, prepare yourself for neon weed leaf stencils.

You may have heard it already, but Pure Ecstasy has also offered up its Toots & the Maytals "Pressure Drop" cover for the very nearly completed second volume of the Friendship Bracelet Club compilation series. Peep that sometime in the coming week. GET STOKED, AMPED, PUMPED, JAZZED, DUSTED, WARPED, KILLED & CHILLED!
