The rumor out there (via the Orwells) is that this new ep is a side project from Greta Morgan of Gold Motels. Regardless, this is a great new ep and video from Springtime Carnivore.

The Babies announce sophomore album “‘Our House On The Hill'” out in November
Brooklyn so-called ‘supergroup’ The Babies, having wandered the globe’s roads for a good couple of years, acquiring probably as much notoriety overseas as at home, are now getting closer to the release of their second LP, ‘Our House On The Hill’, announced for November 13th via Woodsist. Following the introduction started a couple of months ago with a first single ‘Moonlight Mile’, new track ‘Get Lost’ (streaming below) finds Kevin Morby taking the lead once again on a nonchalant dream-folk romance that brings us back to the slower tracks of their last full-length, with some ear-tickling guitars peeping through the fog as they did on Wild 2. Getting geared up to promote the album – first one with new bassist Brian Schleyer – The Babies have announced their upcoming tour dates, kicking off with the record release show at Knitting Factory on 11.13, and stretching right up until Christmas time when they finally head back to NYC after a last show in Philadelphia. – Tracy Mamoun

Tuesday Tune-Out w/Ron Gallo & Thom McCarthy at PhilaMOCA Oct. 9
Tonight the Swollen Fox-curated Tuesday Tune-Out brings in a doubleheader of wise-beyond-their-years singer-songwriters. Toy Soldiers’ Ron Gallo has been working out his solo chops for months now at Fergie’s open mic nights and his hosted events at the music-friendly Center City waterhole so the transition from being backed by a rollicking full band to the lone man on stage will certainly be a smooth one for him. Thom McCarthy is kicking off the night, and warming up the audience. The understated musician and his quirky, thoughtful lyrics will surely have the crowd contemplating and snickering inside. This evening’s movie will feature one of my favorite actors portraying a comedic silent-movie legend. PhilaMOCA, 531 N. 12th St., 8pm, $5, All Ages – H.M. Kauffman

The Gills Premiere Video for “Feel It”
The fact most likely to be beaten to death about The Gills is that the four piece is comprised of two sets of brothers. In the vein of The National, The Bee Gees, and the more Nashville-specific Kings Of Leon, a band built around a family unit is far from unheard of, but the resulting sonic solidarity can be difficult to replicate without the inarguably binding background of bunk beds and DNA. With Chris and Jesse Wheeler covering both guitar and vocals while twins Matt and Andy Prince maintain the rhythm section on drums and bass (respectively), the band’s tightness onstage as well as on their debut EP, Motor Running, is a tough subject to ignore.
With the help of motorcycle shop/recording studio NOW Records, The Gills have released the music video for "Feel It," in which they introduce themselves and their female alter egos to the public.
You can also buy or stream "Feel It" here. –Brianne Turner

Port St. Willow plays Deli CMJ show 10.19 at Pianos
Port St. Willow, originating in Portland, OR, is the mesmerizing ambient project of songwriter Nick Principe. Evolving solo, Principe has to this date released an EP and a full-length album – both recorded and self-produced in the artist’s hometown – revealing an impressive ability to articulate therapeutic escapades around an expert use of silence. Most striking on the ‘Holiday’ album’s opening track ‘Two Five Five Two’, this aesthetic is developed throughout the record, punctuated in times by subtle dissonances, those more accentuated, or the horns and crystal-clear vocals emerging suddenly from the calm, soothing depths of hypnosis. Now based in Brooklyn, debuting a three-piece line-up this week, Port St Willow will be playing The Deli’s CMJ Mostly Psych show, alongside Foxygen, Snowmine, Young Magic and more, on Friday October 19th at Pianos.

Mystery Skulls plays Santa Monica Central SAPC 10.13
If dance music’s your scene, there’s very little chance that you haven’t come across this yet. Mystery Skulls, based in Dallas, is the most recent project of Los Angeles songwriter Luis Dubuc, which he developed as a follow-up to his previous band The Secret Handshake. Releasing a first EP (titled.. EP, to which you can treat yourself for anything above $1 on his bandcamp page!) last December, he put his new enterprise on the map with five bust-a-move electro-pop cocktails sporting pounding beats and super-groovy synthesiser melodies, taking you flying back to the world of sensual 80s pop standards, with just a little more ‘oomph’ – that is, a touch more bass to get things kicking. Don’t miss Mystery Skulls playing with Portland’s Starfucker at Santa Monica’s Central SAPC on Saturday, October 13th.
