Breach - Jack
On Friday, the alter ego of Ben Westbeech, otherwise known as
BrEaCh released a hypnotic and hairy visual component for his latest single, ‘Jack.’ The furry video chants
“I want your body | everybody wants your body…” and as a mantra it provokes even the viewer to let their hair down… and
JACK. Haircuts advised:

“If the name happens to be Jack, then it's not just a name — it's a verb, an invitation, maybe even a command.”

Bright Young Country Star, Caitlin Rose
Having just been brought to my attention, I can already say Caitlin Rose is the future of country music. Get into it. This Nashville native has been compared to everyone from the Everly Brothers to George Harrison, to Roy Orbison and Carlene Carter, with a recent feature in NPR's Fresh Air Feature. Her sophomore full length, which is out on ATO Records is already making a splash, as well as her live performances. SPIN includes the record in their Best Albums of 2013 (so far,) RedEye listed The Stand-In at #4 in their Top 10 albums of 2013 (so far,) while a recent Yours Truly session for "Pink Champagne" shows off her vibrant, textured sound.

Press Quotes
"The
Drowners' 'Long Hair' is just under two minutes of perfectly executed
indie-pop bliss with just the right amount of tousled, carefree
attitude." - Village Voice
"Unequivocally BritPop." - Fader
"'Long Hair' has Strokes-esque rock riffs and gently placed lyrics with
remnants of angsty love triangles of summer flings." - Clash
"Playful, garage rock–evoking ballads like “Long Hair” and “Unzip Your
Harrington” tell romanticized stories about suburban teenage angst and
fumbly first-time sexual encounters" - Vogue
