FLOOD Magazine debuts the new single and video from Super Cassette, “Path Through the Past,” noting “it fully captures both the ecstasy and the misery of our short time on this planet.”

Taken from their forthcoming debut album, Continue?, Super Cassette’s new single “Path Through the Past” is a wonderfully joyful blast of twee indie-pop from the Oakland-based, queer-pop sibling duo. At least, on the surface—underneath the chipper tune and its seemingly whimsical instrumentation is an all-too-real depiction of human mortality and the sad fact that everything we ever know will one day vanish into unexistence. “Every path through the past reaches a dead end,” sings Max Gerlock in the song’s first line, before they follow it up with the real kicker: “My ex-girlfriend’s dog is probably dead.”

The Memphis Flyer interviews Dr. Augusta Palmer about her new documentary The Blues Society, writing, “Augusta Palmer’s documentary digs into race, music, and Memphis’ freaky side.”

“I felt like it was like the zombie film that wouldn’t die.” So says Augusta Palmer, filmmaker and associate professor of communication arts at St. Francis College in Brooklyn, about her latest movie, The Blues Society, enjoying its world premiere at the Indie Memphis Film Festival this coming Sunday. But the producer/director isn’t talking about any scary on-screen content; her “zombie” comment refers to the film’s half-genesis nearly 10 years ago, and the way it insisted on being made despite Palmer’s other commitments.

She had compelling personal reasons to see it through: Her father was the late musician and writer Robert Palmer, who helped found the Memphis Country Blues Society in the mid-’60s. Her mother Mary Branton was also deeply involved in the blues festivals that the society staged at the Overton Park Shell from 1966-1969. A decade ago, Augusta Palmer saw footage from the final year of those concerts — shot by Adelphi Records owner Gene Rosenthal — and it resonated deeply with her.

UpToHear Music reviews new single from The Helltones, “Nothing Compares to You,” calling it “full of heart and emotion, offering warm retro tones that conjure the classic records of the 1960s.”

From Oakland, California, The Helltones return to our blog with the gorgeously stripped-back and soulful “Nothing Compares to You.” The song is full of heart and emotion, offering warm retro tones that conjure the classic records of the 1960s.

“Nothing Compares to You” starts incredibly stripped-back with a warm but purposeful bass line that begins to flesh out the song’s melody. Staccato guitar heralds the introduction of more layers. The guitar churns out classic, slow rock ’n’ roll licks whilst the drums provide a sense of motion and direction. The musical layers remain wonderfully raw over the verses, allowing melody and vintage textures to subtly surround the vocal.

The Big Takeover Magazine debuts new single from The Helltones, “Nothing Compares to You,” noting, “This epic love song lands somewhere between the sincerity of Alabama Shakes and the raw emotional intensity of Otis Redding.”

Oakland garage rockers The Helltones bring a beachy, modern doo-wop vibe to their new album Medusa (out Nov. 17), drawing inspiration from psychedelic surf, soulful Americana & retro rhythm and blues; its harmonized backing vocals, sun-kissed hand claps, grooving organ and overdriven guitar create a cinematic album about love, addiction, picking fights, making up and navigating adulthood while maintaining your sanity.
