Stuff worth checking out from...My Morning Jacket, Passion Pit, Dawes

Here are a few things I came across over the past week that I haven't had a chance to post:

  • Earlier today My Morning Jacket released a new tune called "Circuital" which will be featured on the upcoming album of the same name.  Visit MMJ's website for a free download of Circuital.  Clocking in at 7 minutes 18 seconds, it has plenty of time to take us on a musical journey filled with rises & falls, haunting howls from Jim, piano licks reminiscent of an old west saloon, and some rocking guitar solos.
  • A few days ago on Rolling Stone posted a video of the song "Golden" from MMJ's upcoming VH-1 Storytellers broadcast.  Lead singer Jim James lends insight into the origins, meaning, and humor behind the song.  
  • Passion Pit remixed the single "Make Some Noise" off of the new Beastie Boys album.  Check it out over at Stereogum.
  • After listening to Middle Brother's debut album non-stop for a week or so I started to dive more into the members primary bands (Dawes, Delta Spirit, & Deer Tick).  I came across a nice recording from a Dawes show back in August of 2010.  You can listen/download it over at TheFrontloader.
