Voxtrot - Voxtrot

Artist: Voxtrot Review: Over the past two years, this Austin, Texas, quintet built significant blog buzz with a couple of EPs and some hot South by Southwest shows. The band's debut LP offers more manna for indie kids: tuneful stuff with a fluid, detailed guitar sound and daubs of Eighties Brit pop and Leonard Cohen. Outfitted with Ramesh Srivastava's sweet melodies, cuts like the sorta swishy piano-and-strings-laden "Steven" are well-manicured pop -- slightly more openhearted counterpa

Neile's Life has a new Franz Fernidad track that isn't exactly new... but it's new tome. That's good enough. Song, By Toad posted mp3's by "mediocre buzz bands" Voxtrot, Good Shoes and Patrick Wolf.

LISTEN UP: Stars and Stripes, Only Without the Stripes and Canadian

Everything I've heard off the upcoming Stars album is pretty terrific; I cannot wait until September twenty-fifth when the album will be released and I can get it for the first time but probably not before then cause that is when it is being released. (I Guess I'm Floating) These James tracks at Music of the Moment really bring me back to my Britpop-worshipping phase from high school. I'm glad I decided not to get that Stone Roses face tattoo. Wow, there's almost as many versions of "Sleepwalk" online as there are of the Mega Man II Wily theme. (Aural Fitness) The day I decline a free New Pornographers mp3 will be the day I decline free pizza. Catchy, Canadian pizza. (Skank Your Art) Brooklyn Vegan releases some Voxtrot mp3s to go along with their recently announced tour dates. Good news for everyone who lives near the Ottawa Zaphod Beeblebrox!
