New Music - February 2016 (Paul Steel, Rooney, Fuzzy Fox, Emitt Rhodes, Kelly Jones, King Charles, Bleu)

Paul Steel

The PledgeMusic campaign for April & II is going on. Beware! Listen to the first song and you will have to pledge. It's stunning.
 


Rooney 

 A new Rooney record may be out in 2016. The first song ("Come On Baby") is already out:


Fuzzy Fox

Fuzzy Vox' new album "NO LANDING PLAN" (which will be out on February 26) has been recorded in Los Angeles last summer by Andy Brohard & Ryan Castle (Wolfmother, Primal Scream, Black Angels).
Here's the first single and video for "DISTRACTED" :

 

Emitt Rhodes

The long awaited (I can't think out any record where this phrase fits more than here. In the worst case you waited 43 years...) new record of Emitt Rhodes will be out February 26, 2016. Here is "Isn't It So" from "Rainbow Ends":
 
   

Teddy Thompson & Kelly Jones

"Little Windows" is a duet record by Teddy Thompson & Kelly Jones (out April 1, 2016) looks like a promising project.


King Charles

Remember King Charles? His debut was a big surprise for me. Now he is back with the difficult number two. "Gamble For A Rose" is definitely more accessible at first listen.
 


The Sonic Executive Sessions

A half-dozen of demos from the second album of The Sonic Executive Sessions was out on Soundcloud for a short time. My favourite was "Welcome to the Circus". PowerPop at its best (and a lot of Jellyfish too).


McAuley & Alexz Johnson

A duet record of Bleu McAuley & Alexz Johnson will be out in 2016. More info very soon.

Jason Falkner - Biography & Discography

There is this kind of musician who is writing, releasing records and performing his own music for more than two decades - but misses the aim that is chart success? The one who creates stunning music and don't get any recognition by public, but by his loyal fans? One of them is Jason Falkner . To sum it up: he may be one of the most underrated musicians of the last two decades. What a pity! Falkner started his musical career with a band called The Three O'Clock but soon he joined a new band of his former bandmate (Roger Joseph Manning Jr.) - Jellyfish . After the success of the first record ( Bellybutton ) he left the band and said he'll be never again a band member again (where he was clearly wrong). His solo career started in 1996 with Presents Author Unknown , followed with the fabulous Can You Still Feel? . I recommend to listen to Can You Still Feel? from start to finish - there's no filler song, no low point. 2001 was a good year for loyal fan...

Rooney - Kids After Sunset (The Lost Album): Interview with Taylor Locke & Ned Brower (Bandmates from Rooney)

Bandmates Taylor Locke and Ned Brower took the time to talk about a special chapter in the history of Rooney : the "lost" second album, Kids After Sunset ! I reached out to both of them separately and asked if they could answer a few questions - check it out below. Over the past 20 years, aplenty songs from this album surfaced online and were shared through blogs, fans, and social media. These were mostly demos or low-quality recordings, but in 2024, a seemingly final version of the album appeared on the internet! Kids After Sunset - cover art concept PPS:   Around 2004, Rooney recorded a significant number of songs for their intended second album,  Kids After Sunset - at least twenty-five tracks, as far as I know. The plan was for most of these songs to be included on the album. However, it is said that the record label rejected nearly all of them, claiming they didn’t like any of the tracks, and instructed the band to start from scratch with a completely new album. I...
