Hooray for Earth

Hooray for Earth are back with their first single "Keys" off of Racy, the follow up to 2011's excellent True Loves. "Keys" continues where True Loves left off with a synth-pop sound influenced by dance music, psychedelia and alt-rock. The guitars mid-way through the song have a very grunge tone to them, that works well with the thundering drums and the smeared, gauzy vocals. Hooray for Earth's new record, Racy, is out July 29 on Dovecote Records.

  Cymbals Eat Guitars "Rifle Eyesight (Proper Name)" by Barsuk Records

Noise Verse Noise favorite's Cymbals Eat Guitars have a new album, Lenses Alien, coming out August 30th on Barsuk.  Check out the ultra-jammy first single "Rifle Eyesight (Proper Name)".  For a song 8 minutes long, "Rifle" never loses my attention.  I think "Definite Darkness", the second track released from the album, is even better. Its a little shorter, but its all crescendos and build ups.  Can not wait to hear the new album!  The band is going on an extensive American tour starting in September with Noise Verse Noise friends Hooray for Earth.  Check out tour dates and "... and the Hazy Sea" from Why There are Mountains after the jump.

Hooray For Earth - No Love by goldestegg

Last night Hooray for Earth played the Paradise with Architecture in Helsinki.  The Bruins also played the Cannucks, so Architecture in Helsinki was skipped - side note: Game 7, Stanley Cup is there a better sporting event?  Anyway, Hooray for Earth rocked the stage for one quality set.

  Hooray For Earth - "Form" by Dovecote Records

Hooray for Earth are a new band out of new york who make great psy-pop in a similar vain to MGMT or Yeasayer. They make very good pop songs which have a sort of quirky off key quality. Currently,"True Loves" is getting a lot of blog love.  It is getting love for good reason, it has a great rhythm and groove, with a very catchy chorus.  A pop tune totally ready for summer festivals and outdoor parties.  "Form" is a more straight ahead rock song, but still very enjoyable and uptempo.  From these two tunes you can see why they have toured with Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Surfer Blood, and Architecture in Helsinki.  Expect big things from these guys!  Tour Dates after the jump and a Lemonade remix of "Comforable, Comprable".
