New video from Richmond Fontaine (plus an update to the site)

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Two small pieces of new today. First the Richmond Fontaine video below and second an update to the site. It seems that about a week ago the streaming radio service I was using for “Songs:Illinois radio gave up the ghost. It took a while to find something I liked as much (and for free!) but I just did. The service is called StreamPad and is located at the bottom of this page. Simply click the lower left hand corner and all the mp3’s from the front page and beyond will stream seamlessly in the background.

Here’s the video for the song “You Can Move Back Here” that I wrote about way back when. It’s a nice complement to the feeling of homesickness and melancholy from the song. More info via Trash Aesthetics here.

P.S. Swedesplease has the best music from around the world for the month of July up now here.

Exclusive new song from Richmond Fontaine (Trash Aesthetics, July 20)

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

The English label Trash Aesthetics brings us new music by Richmond Fontaine via a limited edition 7″ out on July 20th. The 7″ will be released with a hand silk screened cover, a short story by Wily and other goodies. If you can’t wait for the band’s next release due out in September or you are a completest when it comes to Richmond Fontaine you’ll want to pick up this 7″.

On the A-side single “You Can Move Back Here” the band conjures up the best of the early Replacements as well as keeping the classic Richmond Fontaine sound in tact. Whereas this song is a well produced rocker (for this band) the b-side, “Now You Know It Too”, is a melancholy ballad full of atmospheric acoustic guitar and achingly beautiful vocals. More info on this release here.

BTW Trash Aesthetics will release The Tailors long awaited album “Come Dig Me Up” in September…
