Voxtrot



This cool, poppy group hails from Austin, Texas. While their popularity has mostly been spreading by word-of-mouth, they've been praised by Pitchfork and by Spin. I really dig their peppy rhythm guitar, and their smooth, mellow vocals. Their first full-length album, Voxtrot, is due for release on the 22nd.

The band has released a number of EP's and singles in the U.S. and Europe. Lead singer Ramesh Srivastava keeps a pretty sweet website, I recommend it if you'd like to find out more. Also, a good friend of the band has recorded a mini-series on the making of their album; you can find out more through their site.

I'll be honest, guys, I am really excited about this upcoming record, and I really think this group is going places. Listen to them yourself, and see what you think of them.

F.y.i: earlier today, Daytrotter made four songs available for download (for free) on their website from a session they recorded of Voxtrot in March of this year. The songs are "Steven," "Soft and Warm," "Kid Gloves," and "The Future Part 1." Visit http://www.daytrotter.com/article/770/free-songs-voxtrot to read a bit about Voxtrot and download the songs.
