Below is the latest track from garage-pop four-piece Cousin Brian called "Green." It will appear on the band’s forthcoming record Closer to Dog, the long-awaited follow-up to First. You can also preview two more tunes, "Emoting" and "Breaking the Stone," HERE. Enjoy!

“Jesus Christ of the City,” the first single from local quartet Lightninging‘s upcoming LP The God of Sun & Tuesdays is a song that intoxicatingly embraces. As the guitar sets a wandering path, Greg O’Neill’s vocals offer an insiders eye-in-the-sky perspective. Then, the walls inside the room begin to shake as the vocals reach back and the instrumentation truly gear up and reach out screaming in unison and demonstrating internal strength and emotion while flexing in a controlled torrent of sound. Comprised of O’Neill, Mark Cruttenden (whom both perform in Baroque-pop outfit Tutlie) and the backend combo of Matt Williams and Greg Foran (who also team up in Static Mountain), the group’s heavy melodic brand of psychedelic rock makes their resurgence a welcomed return. Tonight’s Boot & Saddle lineup also features the heart-pounding four-piece of A Brood of Vipers and the grease-slicked, stick-to-your-skin bluesy trio of Reverend Mantis. Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita

The Districts made their live performance television debut last night on Late Night with Seth Meyers. The show aired "4th and Roebling" with "Peaches" being available as a web exclusive. You can check out both of the videos below. Their new LP A Flourish And A Spoil (Fat Possum) just dropped earlier this week. The band will be performing this Valentine’s Day to a sold out crowd at Union Transfer.

Little Big League’s Michelle Zauner has released a new music video, under her solo project Japanese Breakfast, for “The Women That Loves You,” a song found on American Sound. The video connects a series of clips from films such as Chungking Express, La Collectionneuse and Wild Combination: A Portrait of Arthur Russell, interspersed with original backyard footage shot with Cordell Stetson. Ticker-taping lyrics serve as a guide while the snapshots from various scenes illuminate the mood/context. You can catch Japanese Breakfast on Friday, March 20 at Great Indoors on a bill that also includes The Spirit of the Beehive, Blowdryer and Eskimeaux. (Photo by Brian Johnson)

For Surburban Living‘s latest music video for "New Strings," Wesley Bunch’s girlfriend came across an online ad by a New York Film Academy student, Arielle Green. Bunch and Green connected, and ended up shooting the footage on Dead Horse Bay in New York. Below is the result of their collaboration. Suburban Living living will be performing tomorrow evening at The Fire for the Northern Liberties Winter Music Fest.

Local charitable record label Human Kindness Overflowing, run by Keith Hampson of Power Animal, just released a collection of remixes of songs from "lost ɸ sleep," an album by Philly’s BULKk. The EP includes contributions from Power Animal, Chaperone, Lil ‘Merica, Coyote Clean Up and others. All of the proceeds from the album will to Back On My Feet Philadelphia, "an organization that uses running to help those experiencing homelessness transform their situations through healthy habits, hard work and access to training, employment and housing resources, resulting in employment and independent living." Please give what you can to a very good cause, and grab some sweet tracks as a reward for you being an awesome human.

After releasing their debut tracks via Ranch Records, local four-piece Dogs on Acid (featuring Peter Helmis, Joe Reinhart and Nick Tazza formerly of Algernon Cadwallader as well as Nate Dionne of Snowing) recently shared “Flushed,” which is one half of their forthcoming 7” via Asian Man Records. The song’s tumbling melodic momentum makes it a natural stuck-in-your-head rocker that leaves you wanting more. They’ll be headlining Boot & Saddle this evening, which will be their second show in Philly this week, and if you didn’t make it to the First Unitarian Church on Monday or did and just couldn’t get enough of Dogs on Acid, well, here’s your opportunity to check them out in one of the best sounding rooms in Philly. They’ll be joined by The Spirit of the Beehive, who play a range of highs and lows finding an unexpected middle ground between soothing hypnotic astral dream-pop and a denser, shoegazing atmosphere, filled with ever volatile stormy instrumentation that lies in waiting. The group’s musical outlook inhabits darkly clouded sonic terrain. In its intermediate lighter moments, the clouds soften revealing transitions of calm; however, behind that ray of light lies a persistent unforgiving torrential roar. Whether one prefers the calm or the storm, it’s easy to get sucked in. Also along for the ride are relative pop-punk newcomers Quit, who open a night full of intrigue that promises to catapult you toward the weekend. Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., 8pm, $8, 21+ – Michael Colavita

Anomie, the solo venture/moniker of Field Mouse’s Rachel Browne, has released a new self-titled EP via Father/Daughter Records. The album includes contributions from fellow band member Andrew Futral on bass while the virtually omnipresent Eric Slick (Dr. Dog, Lithuania, etc.) tackles percussion. These songs were written in California during a difficult time in Browne’s life, and they serve as a means of reflection and catharsis, which you can stream and purchase below.

A Sunny Day in Glasgow just released their new EP No Death. The record, which is broken down into a pair of new songs and three remixes, delivers the imaginatively inventive pop we have grown to expect from the group, injecting an inherent warmth and joy into what has been a brisk start to the week. Hit play, and there’s no doubt you’ll start bobbing.

The Lawsuits made a return to Rock Island in full force. Daytrotter just posted their session today, which you can stream and download for free HERE (w/membership). They’ll also be performing this Valentine’s Day at Union Transfer opening for The Districts. (Illustration by Johnny Cluney)

This evening is the kickoff to the Northern Liberties Winter Music Festival that will run from February 10 – 15 at The Fire. The night will be headlined by legendary avant-garde jazz saxophonist Marshall Allen (of Sun Ra Arkestra), who will be supported by the likes of Alumbrados (featuring members of Bardo Pond) and the always angst-filled, politically-charged Camae Defstar (The Mighty Paradocs, Moor Mother Goddess). You’ll also find local favorites such as Suburban Living, Shorty boy-boy, McRad, Roof Doctor, Legs Like Tree Trunks, Family Vacation, Abi Reimold, and more performing throughout the week. This year’s festival is presented by Philadelphia Brewing Company. The Fire, 412 W. Girard Ave., 8pm, $10, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman

Pop-punk trio Cayetana unleashes some frustration in the official video for “Scott Get The Van, I’m Moving,” which was directed by Adam Peditto. The slow-motion destruction captures the before and after notes suggested through the lyrics, smashing through the positive hope that the past offered. Cayetana is currently on tour with The Sidekicks, which runs through mid-March. (Photo by Ally Newbold)
