Get to know Rodeo Church + Jeremy Lee Given
Rodeo Church is a band you need to know. The Boston-based four-piece released a killer EP in the waning days of 2010. Now, just a few frozen weeks later, they're back with a killer new single "Promises", which one hopes is a sign of things to come from their debut LP. Lo-fi art-pop done so well that it wraps you up like a warm blanket. Listen to Promises below and head to the Rodeo Church bandcamp page to grab the full EP (pay what you want).
In addition to contributing keyboards/vocals as a member of Rodeo Church, Jeremy Lee Given is churning out some noteworthy music of his own. Taking a slightly folkier and mellower approach, his debut album Old Flames features the same catchy, lo-fi, analog-pop charms as his other band. Listen to "Lorraine", one of my favorite tracks from the album below, and grab the whole thing here (again, pay what you want).
