Long-time Vodka readers may remember The Corner Laughers from a couple of previous posts starting more than 7 years ago. If not, know that this band has a real talent for capturing a retro-style of feel-good pop-folk Their style is delightful and accessible no matter what era you are from. Enter The Accepted Time (seen/heard here), from the band’s latest long-player, Temescal Telegraph (June 5, 2020), a finely crafted piece of pop genius. When you hear The Corner Laughers for the first time, you might think you are…
Read MoreVodka announced the release of Projection (October 2018), the latest release from the great pop duo, Sinnober, back in August, with the first single from the new long-player, Angels Of Fire And Snow. That long player should be out by the time you read this, which means you should immediately head up to Sinnober’s bandcamp.com page and pick up a copy in your preferred medium.

At least that was the case. It…
Read MorePale Lights’ music is a bit of retro loveliness! Jean, Bring The Flowers is from the band’s very latest EP of the same name (November 2017) and also included on the band’s brand new long-player, The Stars Seem Brighter (December 2017) that is just full of more spot-on jangly goodness! Musically, the band reminds me of The Bats, but only in the jangle-pop style. It was reminiscent enough, that I had to go listen to that Bats track again, just to be sure. This is feel-good pop…
Read MoreThe problem with lyric videos is that sometimes they highlight exactly the wrong thing. Instead of getting you involved in the music, you become a proofreader and that can lead to frustration for those of us who try to use language correctly. None of us, I would surmise, are perfect at this. I know I’m not, but it is still annoying to see a glaring error.
