HOMEGROWN: Southedelic: Volume 1 is the name of the new
EP by Heart of Pine. The record runs four tracks long and
begins with the positively Grateful Dead-ish “Intro.” From
there it moves without pause into “I Ain’t,” which is pretty
straightforward in its storytelling, but the track itself
grooves along in a kind of muscular swirl. Then you get the
Bembe-influenced rhythm and blues “High Time,” before
the whole thing wraps up with the pretty piano-based
“The Other One.” All in all,
this is way more akin to
Widespread Panic—both in
spirit and execution—than
the aforementioned Dead,
so if that’s your bag, then
fill it up over at heartofpine.
bandcamp.com.
UP AND COMING: UGA student
Gigi Gonsalves has a
delightfully pretension-free
collection of songs on her
SoundCloud account, which
she’s been steadily filling up
while making album plans.
All her tunes are self-com
posed and produced. The
most recent three tracks are
pretty much where she is
now, stylistically speaking,
and these are the wobbly
acoustic song “No 1 Drug,”
the chillwave self-hug “Heartless,” and the 1970s-meets-
late-1990s piano-based rap “A1 Pacino.” Gonsalves told me
that the album is headed toward something “full of acous
tic and electric guitar, heavy funk beats and just a more
vintage sound in general.” And based on these first three
songs, that all sounds pretty good, but I’d also encourage
folks to dig into her whole collection of tracks. They don’t
vary in a jarring sense, but they do reveal the breadth of
her writing, and certain tracks, like “Shower Thoughts”
and “I’m Alive, I’m OK,” feel like they’re hits you just
hadn’t heard yet. So check this all out at soundcloud.com/
gigi-angelica.
WHAT THE WHOLE WORLD WANTS: While we sit around here on our
hands waiting for the full length album by The Searchin’
Destroyers to come out, we’re gonna have to be satisfied
with the new single “You Lost Touch With The World.” And,
as far as peacekeeping measures go, this’ll do just fine. The
gentle psych-pop of the tune is reminiscent of both the Los
Angeles paisley underground (most particularly The Three
O’clock) and maybe even select tunes that populated LPs
by The Monkees, once those dudes were allowed to perform
their own songs. For the unfamiliar, this group is basically
an all-star collection that is composed of Bubba McDonald,
Southedelic
Caroline Barfield, Derek Almstead, Drew Finn and Kevin
Sweeney. Go grab this appetizer over at thesearchin
destroyers .bandcamp. com.
PACK ‘EM IN: Rockers Cannon and the Boxes finally got to
see their long-delayed EP, I Only See The Stars, released a
couple of weeks ago. The band’s performance is pretty spot
on, and fans of early 1990s acoustic emo, The Replacements
and maybe even J. Roddy Walston & The Business should
dig this. Although it only runs a mere five tracks, its ear
nestness can make it feel much longer. That said, there
are some really crafty arrangements on here that deserve
attention. Notable among these are the horns in “More To
Do” and the pedal steel on “Keychains.” This is available on
all the major streaming services, so pick your favorite and
head there.
LEGACY OF BRUTALITY: As if their first dose of hard reality
wasn’t enough for you, the twin high priests behind
Wizard Spoon just released Feed The Beast: Cuarantena Vol.
2. This one cooks a bit harder, hotter and faster than the
recently released Cuarantena Vol 1. Although each record
is a timely catalog of our currently worldwide condition—
albeit focusing primarily on the United States—this newest
release has a heightened sense of immediacy. There are
select samples serving as introductions to each track, and I
give my personal hat tip to the Raymond and Peter intro to
“Wizard Spoon (Feed The Beast).” The whole thing, all five
tracks, runs less than seven minutes. So, all you metalheads
can play, like, one track from Metallica or listen to this in
its entirety. The choice is yours, so start choosing over at

The Orange Constant: Peel (Independent Release) The Orange Constant
bloomed in Statesboro in 2012 and has since been replanted in Athens, con
tinuing to grow and deepen their roots in jam, funk and vintage rock. On May
12, the band released their third LP, Peel, a nine-song collection recorded by
Grammy-nominated producer John Keane (R.E.M., Widespread Panic). TOC’s
latest album presents brazen indie folk with sharp timbre, balanced by smooth
vocals and delicate harmonies. The record relies heavily on repetitive riffs,
but they are nonetheless full-bodied, like a breath of hot air outside in cool
weather. The group plays with ‘90s synth sounds, but they keep the listener on
their soft, psychedelic shorefront. Amid their conglomeration of musical styles,
the guitar remains the star of the show and is evenly backed by gliding piano
melodies. Peel is a well-structured record that often dips into contemporary blues, taking the road less traveled on
a nondirectional trail. [Lily Guthrie]
