Album Review: Nathan Xander - The Fear

Nathan Xander - The Fear


01. October
02. Emerald Cities
03. Colors
04. John Wayne
05. True Love Never Did Run Smooth
06. Dark Horses
07. The Alchemist
08. Trial By Fire
09. Martyr's Song
10. A Long One
11. Every Rainy Day





Standout Tracks: Martyr's Song / October / John Wayne


Reminiscent of Ryan Adams' Heartbreaker and early Jason Collett, this current Chicagoan brings a new twist with his alt-country storytelling. My only complaint would be that most of the songs are just a tad too long, but other than that, I'm really diggin' this record. Anyway, The Fear, is out now. Go pick it up, here.

Here We Go Magic on WOXY

So I was hoping to go see Here We Go Magic tonight at the Beat Kitchen; however, since I'm pretty poor, I will not be attending. Luckily I came across this today, where Luke Temple and gang performed a few songs for WOXY (free downloads available). Also, if you have yet to here, Grizzly Bear have asked Here We Go Magic to support them on their upcoming tour, which should be pretty great. Too bad no Chicago gig on that tour, but maybe we can hope for a Pitchfork Fest appearance as well. The self-titled debut, Here We Go Magic, is out now via Western Vinyl.

02. Tunnelvision
