I came across a few new songs today that I thought I'd share with y'all. First off is a new song from the forthcoming
Kevin Drew album. For those who don't know, Drew is a member of one of those great Canadian bands you always hear about,
Broken Social Scene. His debut solo album will be called, get this,
Broken Social Scene Presents Kevin Drew: Spirit If. Or something to that effect. We'll just go with
Spirit If around here. The first released track is this dirty little ditty called "Tbtf" and shows mucho promise for the full length. The album is the first of a rumored series of
Broken Social Scene Presents releases, with the next coming from
Brendan Canning. Wonder why
Feist's The Reminder wasn't a part of this? Hmm... anyway, all this from
Arts & Crafts.

Also on the bill is a new song from
Dirty Projectors.
Rise Above will come courtesy of the new
Dead Oceans label, and was heavily influenced by
Black Flag's punk classic
Damaged. Dirty Projectors is the brain child of
David Longstreth, who writes the songs, plays the guitar, and sings the voices (with some help). The album was produced by
Chris Taylor of
Grizzly Bear, giving it the same wide open space of that band's acclaimed
Yellow House from last year. Here is first single "No More":

Last week I came across this rocker from
Lions In The Street over at
Captain's Dead. Read his post
here, and check out the song if you dig late 60's/early 70's
Stones,
Faces, etc. It's from their
Cat's Got Your Tongue EP, which can be downloaded for free at their website.

And finally, here is a piano-rocker from New York based singer-songwriter
Danny Ross. I was struck by the guy's bio more than his song - turns out that by day Danny Ross is a staffer for United States Congressman
Jerrold Nadler. I don't know the first thing about the man's politics, but the song was catchy enough on first listen to throw into the post. His debut album
Introducing Danny Ross! comes out real soon, and Ross will be throwing a record release party on June 30th at 8 P.M. at The Bitter End in NYC.
