Whitney – “Golden Days” [Video]

We just featured a review of the solo debut from former Smith Westerns frontman Cullen Omori a few days ago. Now you can catch up with Max Kakacek and Julian Ehrlich – both formerly of Smith Westerns – and their new band Whitney.

“Golden Days” is their swaying new catchy single and video from the forthcoming Secretly Canadian debut Light Upon The Lake that is due out June 3rd. If you were a fan of the Smith Westerns, I think both projects will fill your void!

Sturgill Simpson – “In Bloom” [Video]

“In Bloom” is the second song released from Sturgill Simpson’s anticipated new album, A Sailor’s Guide To Earth, which will be released April 15 on Atlantic Records. Produced by Simpson, A Sailor’s Guide To Earth was written—beginning to end—as a letter to his first child, who arrived during the summer of 2014, and features eight original songs as well as “In Bloom.”

PJ Harvey – “The Community Of Hope” [Video]
