Soft Swells – “Every Little Thing”
The allusion to small waves breaking on the shore expressed in the band name Soft Swells doubles as a descriptor to their sound. The California duo play breezy indie pop that sounds like a lazy summer day, almost like a pop song slowed down and translated to acoustic guitar. Two guys with their six strings would normally be relegated to the coffee bar circuit, but Soft Swells breaks the mold by adding interesting instrumentation and melodies to their already solid pop base. Add on some solid harmonies and the final product has a ton of potential as shown on early single “Every Little Thing”. Be on the lookout for Soft Swells’ debut LP early next year and a potential breakout at this year’s SXSW.

I saw Bad Veins tonight at The Echo. There is something to be said about seeing a band that means a lot to you in a small, somewhat full room of people where that cannot be said of everyone else.
This was my third time seeing them, and each time I have, I wonder why they haven’t blown up yet. They (and their eponymous debut LP) are dangerously underrated, or at least undermentioned. The guys played 3-4 new songs tonight, and there wasn’t a dud amongst them. I’m looking forward to their next full length, and hope they stick with it for a long time to come.

So we are officially one year old. Crazy. So what better way to celebrate the fact that we made it this far than with cake? We don’t need caviar and champagne - or even a fancy-pants cake with a chocolate fountain. We’re going to celebrate this DIY style…’cos that is how we roll. Yeah!
Modern Outsider Records + Management turns one year old today!
