The Preatures – Better Than It Ever Could Be

Tim — Tue, 28 Jan 2014 22:38:04 +0000

The motherfuckin PREATURES. Are you fucking kidding me? Pardon my French but what am I supposed to do here? I usually have a firm no swearing policy but that went right out the window after the third time I hit repeat on this jam. It’s just so damn good. Rock and roll is alive and well with The Preatures as the number one caretaker. In fact, the Aussie rockers might just be the saviors.

Jay’s Sounds of 2013

2013 was a year of nostalgia, for me personally and also in the music that accompanied me throughout, more so than any year I can remember. This year was also my first here at the Most Definitely, which I can’t thank Max and Tim enough for. In putting together my hour-long 2013 year-end playlist, I really tried to focus on this retro-yet-new and exciting feel that embodied the past year. From the ’70s sound of the Preatures; ’80s of Oliver, Holy Ghost! and Wild Nothing; to the ’90s of Cut Copy and Jagwar Ma, it is all there — refreshingly nostalgic, yet freshly new.

Hopefully, this playlist captures the crazy ride that was 2013 and joins the ranks of Tim’s, Max’s, and Jason’s. Give it a listen below and here’s to what 2014 has to offer!

Tim’s Essential Tracks of 2013

So that was 2013 huh? Pretty solid year. I’ve been working on this list all year. Full disclosure, if you’re looking for the obvious “Best of 2013″ list, this is not for you. This is more about the tracks that might have slipped through the cracks, the tracks that never quite got the attention they deserved. Some of them are more obvious than others (read: Daft Punk). While others, need to be heard (read: Streets of Laredo).

How do you boil down a year to 15 songs? In my case, you don’t. You make a soundcloud best of and a Spotify Best of list. We had a banner year personally, professionally and musically. A lot of firsts that I am extremely thankful for. Rather than sit here and wax poetic on what was definitely the best year of my life, why don’t you just sit back and listen to these tunes that helped make 2013 so special?

And then I made a totally different Spotify playlist so you got hours of music to listen to.

The Preatures – Manic Baby

Jay — Fri, 09 Aug 2013 19:02:30 +0000

Australia’s the Preatures are releasing their debut EP Is This How You Feel? today and have introduced “Manic Baby” to coincide with the release. “Manic Baby” is a straight-forward, bass-driven dancehall rock number that has had me bobbing my head since I first pressed play. The quintet easily draw comparisons to Fleetwood Mac with their nostalgic rock sound and have garnered some well deserved buzz. Be sure to check out lead single “Is This How You Feel?” and the glam-tastic video for “Manic Baby.”

Fantastic. Thank you universe for dropping this in my lap today. This heavenly cut from The Preatures is everything I need right now. They come to us from Sydney, Australia and it makes total sense. They’ve got a throwback rock n roll sound that I can’t shake. Just keep hitting play and enjoy the day.
