We also wanted to match Neal’s love for tried and true analog creation and shot the video on a late 60s 16mm Eclair NPR. There is no beating film."</p> <p>From one of my favorite albums of the year, Chicago-based piano playin', rock poppin', singer/songwriter Neal Francis has released the second single "Problems" from his new sophomore effort, <em>In Plain Sight</em> (ATO). The track and album were mixed by Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, Tame Impala, MGMT).  Def check out his previous single, the very funky and tasty <a href="https://youtu.be/bcpKxFHMK8o">"Can't Stop the Rain</a>" with some equally tasty slide guitar action by Derek Trucks. </p> <p> </p> </div> <section> <h2>Add new comment</h2> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderForm" arguments="0=node&amp;1=4060&amp;2=comment_node_story&amp;3=comment_node_story" token="_6yJbZj1X7VqBPxUwr8zcQj9YOnDXMmGAjfJxjsc5V8"></drupal-render-placeholder> </section> Tue, 23 Nov 2021 02:17:16 +0000 Dusty Wright 4060 at http://culturecatch.com Song of the Week: "Rushing" http://culturecatch.com/music/song-week-nada-surf-rushing <span>Song of the Week: &quot;Rushing&quot;</span> <span><a title="View user profile." href="/users/dusty-wright" lang="" about="/users/dusty-wright" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">Dusty Wright</a></span> <span>May 4, 2016 - 16:00</span> <div class="field field--name-field-topics field--type-entity-reference field--label-inline"> <div class="field--label">Topics</div> <div class="field--items"> <div class="field--item"><a href="/music" hreflang="en">Music Review</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-inline"> <div class="field--label">Tags</div> <div class="field--items"> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/775" hreflang="en">pop-rock</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item"><p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hPLwKZRuEPI" width="560"></iframe></p> <p>Damn, they've done it again! From their latest longplayer <em>You Know Who You Are</em>, my favorite NYC-based folk-rock band deliver a perfectly executed subway love song called "Rushing." I've been a fan for years and this is one of the best songs they've ever executed. Two decades in and they are still bursting with smart lyrics and gorgeous sing-along melodies! 10 new tracks available on Barsuk Records. Don't delay, buy/stream them all today!</p> </div> <section> </section> Wed, 04 May 2016 20:00:44 +0000 Dusty Wright 3411 at http://culturecatch.com
