Leeroy Stagger – “I Want It All” [Video]

by

We have been following Canadian singer/songwriter Leeroy Stagger for some time, both as a solo artist and as part of the excellent collaboration of Easton Stagger Phillips. Stagger’s new solo album, Love Versus, is out April 7 via True North Records and it represents the first recording made at his home studio in Alberta.

Stagger had Pete Thomas from The Attractions play on the album and Colin Stewart (The New Pornographers, Black Mountain, Dan Mangan), produce it. This album may be his best yet! Check out his great new video for “I Want It All.”

Ryan Adams – Do You Still Love Me? [Video]

by

Directed and produced by Noah Abrams, and edited by Brook Linder, “Do You Still Love Me?” gives viewers intimate behind-the-scenes glimpses into the creation and recording of the new song from Ryan Adams. The video features live footage from Ryan’s 2016 tour—including airy shots of Red Rocks Amphitheatre—punctuated by fly-on-the-wall scenes of Ryan in the studio.

Prisoner is out February 17th on Pax-Am/Blue Note.

Fred Thomas – Voiceover [Video]

by

Following the release of his critically-lauded 2015 album All Are Saved, songwriter/producer Fred Thomas entered a period of enormous transition. He quit his job, got married and moved to Canada, all between multiple tours that ran the spectrum from sold out opening slots to sleeping in the car after empty gigs.

At the end of yet another tour he returned to Athens, Georgia, to again work with producer Drew Vandenberg (of Montreal, Mothers) on an album aiming to encapsulate the nonstop changes that had sprung out of this phase of his life.

Naturally, this record is named Changer and is out now on Polyviyl Records.

American Wrestlers – “Give Up” [Video]

by

American Wrestlers released their sophomore album Goodbye Terrible Youth (Fat Possum) in the fall and it was a record we just never got to reivew. Solid indie pop is what you get and this simple but catchy video sums up their sound nicely.

Marching Church – “2016” [Video]

by

Over the past weekend, Marching Church released the video for their song, “2016,” off new album, Telling It Like It Is. Elias Bender Rønnenfelt describes the video: “We have reached the very tail end of 2016, the year which also spawns the title of this song. This is our attempt at a testament. Marching Church burns its calendar in a feeble and useless longing to undo the past 365 days marked by consistent atrocity, wronging and slaughter, while also taking us through recent ocular memories from the orient and its dirty pearls.”

This is an album that we still have in the review queue and one TFN recommends checking out. Marching Church also has a string of tour dates over the next few months, which you can check below, so if you are up for a solid live show get it on your calendar!
