More Music from the Inbox: 01 April 2012
No April Fool’s turkeys here. These are five releases that have been double-filtered for your projection. Final write-up courtesy special correspondent Juliette Jagger.
Artist: Fixers, “Another Lost Apache”
Album: Pop Meat/Your Corruptor
This damn song is completely immediate. It starts out with these great a cappella harmonies that sound like a hipster version of The Beach Boys or something, and the rest is undeniable. It’s one of those songs that just has that incessantly good beat you can’t help but catch.
Sounds like: A song you’re going to be compelled to listen to over and over again.

Artist: Good Old War, “It Hurts Every Time”
Album: Come Back As Rain
Call it “indie folk” call it whatever you want, but the Good Old War have some good old country in their bones, and the marrows sweet.
Sounds like: It hurts so good
Link/Listen/Watch: Listen on Soundcloud
Artist: The Wooden Sky, “Child of The Valley”
Album: Every Child a Daughter, Every Moon a Sun
Nothing but smooth, sturdy, honesty from The Wooden Sky.
Sounds like: Flesh and bone
Link/Listen/Watch: Stream it here.
Artist: Japandroids, “The House That Heaven Built”
Album: Celebration Rock
This band has the best kind of punk rock, hands in the air, whoa-oh-oh crowed pleasing energy.
Sounds like: Mosh pit music
Link/Listen/Watch: Listen on Soundcloud
Artist: Inca Gold, “Atom”
Album: Inca Gold III
Usually I’m unimpressed by bands and their new age psychedelics, but Inca Gold manages to weave this sort-of dreamlike quality into their sound and I really dig it. Great video too: it’s completely simple, totally been done before, but it just fucking feels.
Sounds like: Beautiful noise
Link/Listen/Watch:
Inca Gold reminds a bit of early Doves.
