Single Of The Week - Charlie Faye and Calexico "Broken Heart Maker"

Our second single of the week this week is from, Austin-based singer-songwriter, Charlie Faye. Faye is currently touring around the country as part of her 'Travels With Charley' experiment, taking up residency in a different city for a month at a time. This track, with Calexico, is from her time spent in Tucson earlier this year. If the rest sound this good, the end result should be fantastic.

Single Of The Week - Pearly Gate Music "Big Escape"

Since the flu seems have derailed the podcast for this week, we will probably double-up on Single Of The Week this week instead - and return with Podcast 14 next Monday.

First up is a ragged, lo-fi folk toe-tapper from Pearly Gate Music. Their self-titled debut, full of carefully constructed gems that seem to fall in line with the recent resurgence in timeless pop, releases May 18th on Barsuk Records.

Single Of The Week - The Mynabirds "Numbers Don't Lie"

Full of smoky, jazz-laced pop that sounds as if just unearthed from a fifty year-old time capsule, The Mynabirds' debut, What We Lose In The Fire We Gain In The Flood, is one of the best debut albums we have come across this year. Full of sultry, cooing vocals and classic soul-dripping pop songs, it is the kind of album you just leave on from start to finish and back again. Enjoy this early listen to "Numbers Don't Lie", and be sure to pick up the album when it hits store shelves next Tuesday, April 27th.

Single Of The Week - The Morning Pages "Telephone"

Brooklyn might not scream 'roots-rock', but then again, Lady GaGa's dace-pop hit "Telephone" doesn't exactly seem ripe for a country-fried retelling. Yet, that is exactly what this up-and-coming band does with it, and damn if it is not infectious. Keep an eye out for their debut, Rising Rain, in May.

Single Of The Week - Kerretta "Sleepers"

This week, we bring you a little New Zealand instrumental hard rock action from newcomers Kerretta. The trio's debut album, Vilayer, is out now, and you can check them out free on Monday (4/5) at Double Door for the low, low price of FREE. One listen to this chugging, metal-kissed bit of goodness and you will be hard-pressed to not show up Monday night. And, yes, the rest of their debut is really this good.

Single Of The Week - Rene Lopez "Wednesday"

You can get your hands on the sunny pop treat that is Rene Lopez's People Are Just People in full on May 4th. Until then, we recommend getting an earful of the lovestruck "Wednesday" as our Single Of The Week. If you enjoyed our The Right Now recommendation (and why wouldn't you?), this is right up your alley.

Single Of The Week 1

As we mentioned at the end of this week's podcast, we're going to start offering a free single in the same RSS feed as the podcast - so if you're subscribing (and we hope you are), your podcast feed should get it to you the next time you open it. If not, you can get it here.

The song this week is an early listen to Rogue Wave's new Permalight album, not out until March 2nd. We're giving you a sneak peek to it with "Good Morning". Enjoy!
