ON AN ON – “It’s Not Over”
Look & Listen! // Visual Artist: Floto+Warner [via]
“It’s Not Over” is a song for whoever it is a song for (possibly for Nate Eisland’s wife, Alissa, who is also in the band) but its also a song for ON AN ON fans who have been slowly weeping to the soft beauty of comeback track “Drifting” and serves as a beacon of light shone on a highly groovable future with these TBE faves. Read more
ON AN ON – “Drifting”
Sounds like… ON AN ON know how damned excited we all are for a new album and wanted to ease us into their return with a stripped back and tender dream ride. But like waking from a dream, it starts slow before the onslaught of the day comes in the form of beautiful distorted echoes and a killer drum beat. I recommend you keep this song on repeat every morning until the new album comes out. It can only help.
Location:Â Minneapolis, MN
Future: A new album coming soon… plus tour with Big Data (Alan Wilkis).

Step Rockets – “Phantom Flower”
Music for… that mid-day solo sing along in the office hallway when nobody is looking. Sometimes you need that little pep in your step and thank goodness for Step Rockets on this Tuesday!
Location: Minneapolis, MN.
Future: Step Rockets will be in LA for Blind Date in December!
Step Rockets – “Kisser” + “If You Tried”
Minneapolis’ own Step Rockets are batting .1000 on their Soundcloud. 2 tracks and two absolute jams. “Kisser” gets straight stuck in the head. I’ve been singing along since the first chorus.”If You Tried” is a massage of tender vocals and delicate guitar noodling. Top stuff all around. More please!

- Where: Minneapolis, MN + Facebook / Soundcloud / Bandcamp

- Why: After a cup of coffee and a delicious breakfast, only a few things are really needed on a Sunday. Relaxation, putting your feet up, and good music. Not necessarily in that order.
