Connections’ new LP out now and featured on Pitchfork
Connections’ new LP out now and featured on Pitchfork
Connections’ new album, Body Language, is out now and is available on vinyl or in digital form via Midheaven, Insound, and Amazon, as well as at the finest of your local record stores. It will be available in the near future on a CD that will also include the Private Airplane album and Touch City EP.
Pitchfork recently reviewed Body Language, rating it a 7.4 and calling it “a smart, stupendously catchy, often downright inspiring examination of the things that get us going in spite of ourselves, set to one head-stick melody after the other.”
WV White debut set for release on Anyway
WV White debut set for release on Anyway
Over the past year, one excellent band after another has taken root and sprouted in Columbus, and perhaps one of the finest is WV White. The band caught our eye when they opened for The Kyle Sowashes, and they have since melded into a sonic juggernaut, albeit one with copious amounts of cough syrup and PBR. Sounding somewhat like a tripped-out Nikki Sudden and the Jacobites via “Morrison Hotel,” the band is astounding live. They are finishing up their debut album to be released on Anyway in 2014. You can read an interview with the band at The Agit Reader and in the meantime check out this video of the band performing last year:

His full-length should be out the first half of 2014. All press inquiries should be directed to Kellie Morgan at Straight to Video. Check out “That Old Time Religion” below.
