If you’re looking forward to fireworks this year, Clouder has got you covered. The sinister rockabilly of the group’s latest single "Phantom Girl" should put a firecracker under your butt and shoot you straight off to the moon. The track launches immediately with a rattlesnake guitar snarl followed by a screaming hook where singer Eric Gilstrap calls you a ‘little girl’ repeatedly (it’s a lot more fun than you’d think). The band’s never been shy, but this new song rips things to shreds. It’s a monster of a track, and delivers the proto-punk sledgehammer action found throughout the band’s sophomore album ‘Sister Raygun’ (Fleeting Youth Records). Hear ‘Phantom Girl’ below and see the band when they play Fort Useless–SHOW HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE FLAT)–on July 18th. -Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)

Self-described as “a boy and a girl that met over their mutual love for hardcore evangelical conservative beliefs and tequila shots,” an admittedly tongue-buried-firmly-in-cheek wry ironic smile weaves itself in and out of the tracks that make up the new EP from Fake Fancy, entitled New People.

Celestial Shore, Brooklyn’s masters of syncopation and tempo changes who graced the cover of The Deli’s 2013 Summer Issue, are out with another monster of a song, entitled ‘Gloria’. We must say we’re quite surprised by this new single for a couple reasons: 1. It’s a little more straight forward than most tracks by the trio, which is actually good – we even hear a bit of a Pixies influence! 2. The entire song doesn’t seem to feature any odd time signatures – although (for the math rock nerds) there’s plenty of switching between 4 quarters and 6 quarters. Dissecting Celestial Shore’s songs is only part of the fun, because their melodies are something bordering on heavenly, and this track’s graceful regression to simplicity allows for a full appreciacion of the actual song.  This tune, together with new material they performed at our recent NYC B.E.A.F. show, has amped us up for their sophomore full-length, ‘Enter Ghost,’ to be released this October.  You have a couple chances to see Celestial Shore this week, one at the Landlady release show tonight at Baby’s All Right, and again this Sunday at the secret house show which is part of the 1.21 Gigawatts Festival (the catch is that you need to have a full weekend pass to go this show, but it’ll be worth it). – Jake Saunders

In what seems to be an age dominated by 90’s throwback guitar bands, there aren’t many acts around right now quiet like LODRO. Fronted by Jeremy Cox (formerly of Royal Baths) and Lesley Hann (formerly of Friends), these self-described “neo-noir punks” have deeper routes with The 13th Floor Elevator and Nick Cave’s Birthday Party than, say, Nirvana. In an exclusive interview with The Deli, we caught up with Jeremy – apparently after the summer tour there’s a full length ready to be released.

Folk gospel group The Ghost of Arthur James has a knack for finding the spiritual blessing hidden among all our earthly travels. The group’s debut record ‘Small Target’ highlights this journey: punctuated by revelations discovered during trips through America’s heartland (‘Highway Blues’), and the spiritual revelations these have brought to bear (‘All Across This Land’). Like all our spiritual horizons, the landscape the group finds is rugged and untamed, but The Ghost of Arthur James finds the beauty in it all. Check out a live performance of ‘Highway Blues’ from Braund Sound Studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn below. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
