SubmitCloud | August 2018
The Soundcloud playlist for this month’s approved Submithub submissions is now up & running for August 2018.
Fandcamp: How Much
“I've learned there are some things about which you don't need to think twice. Getting this was one of those things.”
FANDCAMP: There's Always Glimmer
“Recommended on a whim; I recommend this with an utmost certainty that this is an album for all ears and listens on end.”
FANDCAMP: ZION
“this record is full of life and sweltering arrangements and i can personally attest that it brought me closer to god”
FANDCAMP: "CHARADES"
“Sounds identical to The Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses," in the best possible way. These guys were doing worship of the body way before Bon Iver with "Heavenly Father" and Hozier with "Take Me to Church." The lyrics envelop you completely. They're cold and heartbroken, but hint at a familiar yearning for hope.”
Mix Tape Radio: Episode 053
EPISODE 53 kicks off with some loveliness from YouYourself&I, and before it closes out with some Wearlyland, you'll hear stuff from Courtney Barnett, Modest Mouse, Flaming Lips and Justin Townes Earle singing about single mothers & absent fathers while his dad sings about not being anybody's daddy now.
FANDCAMP: Acetone
“Want to hear the only bad song by Vundabar?That sucks, quite literally there are none.”
HI54LO5: Number Of The Beast
PRO: I can finally wear my genuinely vintage (ie. found in a charity store & not American Outfitters) Iron Maiden shirt without the fear of someone asking, “Have you even listened to an Iron Maiden album?”. CON: In the middle of listening I think I might have joined a LARP club.
Fandcamp: captain
“hard to choose a fav song from this album let alone an album from this band”
Fandcamp: In the Shadows (Again)
“In The Shadows reminded me of the first time I heard Sturgill Simpson’s album ‘Metamodern Sounds in Country Music’ which ended up being my album of the year in 2014. This has elements of psych, punk, and classic country with its sweeping reverb and spit shined steel guitar. Think along the lines of Marty Stuart meets Lucero for an idea of what to expect. The entire discography of this TX punk is gold.”
20X11 | 220 SONGS FROM 2011
