PF Pocast Someone Still Love Boris Yeltsen

Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin :: The Beach Song Label: Polyvinyl
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin is an indie-pop band from Springfield, Missouri. Their sophomore album, Pershing, has been described as the feel good album of 2008. Since the band's 2005 critically acclaimed debut, Broom, they have shared the stage with the likes of Mute Math, of Montreal, and Ben Kweller, to name a few. They toured libraries with cult band Harry and the Potters, headlined a European tour and even made their way to their namesake's homeland of Russia. Their music has been featured on The OC, a Mastercard "Priceless"commercial, and the Carson Daly show.

Son Ambulance :: Horizons
Label: Saddle Creek
After more than three years since their last release, Son Ambulance emerges from hibernation deep in a realm of exotic 60s and 70s LPs for their third full- length, Someone Else’s Déjà Vu, a bold leap back into the music world and the band’s most challenging work yet. Primarily a Joseph Knapp solo effort, collaborating closely with former/current member Jeffrey Koster, Someone Else’s Déjà Vu marks a departure from 2005’s Key, offers a sharper glimpse into Knapp’s distinct song-writing abilities, and reflects a depth of complexity and dream logic made perfect for a sublime musical experience capable of engaging many new listeners of any age.

Neva Dinova :: Clouds
Label: Saddle Creek
You May Already Be Dreaming, the band’s third full-length and first since 2005’s The Hate Yourself Change(Crank/Sidecho) is a lush, largely electric affair rich with the rural textures that pepper releases from the band’s Omaha contemporaries. Having been a staple in the scene since guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Jake Bellows and bassist Heath Koontz began collaborating in the early nineties, Neva Dinova (named after Bellows’ grandmother) have continually evolved their melancholic sound, making masterful use of counterbalanced melodies and poetic lyricism.

The Submarines :: You, Me and the Bourgeois
Label: Nettwerk
In the beginning, we all start as a tiny seed, then a tender sprout. With water, light and the hope of love, we grow up toward the skies above. John Dragonetti and Blake Hazard recorded Honeysuckle Weeks, their second album as The Submarines, as summer vines blossomed and the sun coaxed green grasses up around the stones leading from their East LA home to their garage-turned-home-studio. Honeysuckle Weeks weaves together themes drawn from their immediate surroundings and experience: the garden outside, and the push and pull of life and love inside.

The Curse of Company :: All the Mines
Label: Dangerbird Records
Singer/songwriter, designer and actor David Wiley Rennick, best known for producing two internationally celebrated albums as part of Dappled Cities, has turned his hand to a blend of myth, music and storytelling with his least democratic work to date, The Curse of Company. THE MUSIC draws on Rennick’s multi-platform artistic practices to convey story on a massive scale, mixing the psychedelic influence of The Velvet Underground with Neil Young’s scalding alt-rock and folk, and drawing on classic, coming-of-age storytelling that recalls a dizzying mix of The Odyssey, Blade Runner, 2001 and Apocalypse Now.

War on Drugs :: Taking The Farm
Label: Secretly Canadian
The War On Drugs push the boundaries of a quintessentially American music. Guitars soar and colorful clouds roll past whatever sun or moon you are cruising under, through whatever old bar you are reveling within. The War On Drugs point toward a tireless horizon in the distance that you will never reach but are compelled to chase. It's a tail you've chased your whole life and will continue chasing because your life is more poetic when you are moving toward it - your cinematography is more rich. Wagonwheel Blues is one of those albums that each of us holds onto tightly. They get moved from apartment to apartment through the years; they are songs on the radio that follow us from town to town. They evoke waves of nostalgia and grow more poignant with each new bump along the road.

Panther :: Puerto Rican Jukebox
Label: Kill Rock Stars
PANTHER is the two-headed effort of Charlie Salas-Humara (The Planet The) on vocals, cello, guitar, and keys and Joe Kelly (31 Knots) on drums. But even when it was Charlie's solo effort he was never really alone. Whether live or on record there was a sense that PANTHER was being overtaken by something, not an alter-ego, this was something else. Think Ian Curtis' convulsive intensity and James Browns spastic swagger and you still won't have PANTHER, but a sense of what-the-fuckness that all of them seem to call up.
