A fun, kaleidescopic new video from Atlanta folktronica outfit New Animal.
Quiet Evenings - 'Finality'
0
All of the songs in the appropriately-named Quiet Evenings catalog have a similar trance-like quality, but it's the one with subtle vocals woven in that get to me the most.

The Top 3 Favorite Atlanta Concerts of 2011
0
Sade, O.M.D., and Duran-Duran
Atlanta has had many spectacular concerts this year driving fans wild with excitement. However, there are several concerts that have captivated concert goers more than anything.
1. Sade
Sade has had a longstanding career for decades and she doesn't tour all too often. Her July concert at the Philips Arena showed how her music is the ultimate perfection and she does it with so much class which blows her fans away every time they see her in concert. Songs from her new album such as, “Soldier of Love”, and classics from older albums felt as if they were timeless and ageless. Her soothing voice and delivery pulls her fans in and takes them on a relaxing peaceful journey. Read more about The Top 3 Favorite Atlanta Concerts of 2011
Dark Room - 'Ice Swimming'
0
Tagging everything on your label as 'dubstep' when it's not is only about half as hilarious as you think. Still, it's worth wading through the cleverness to get at what experimental collective Primitive Patterns is putting out these days. The gentle stutters of colorful, sampler-based electronica make the brand new single from Dark Room well worth the free download.
Grammy Nomination for Cee-Lo Green and Jason Aldean
0
Atlanta’s own Cee-Lo Green has received several Grammy nominations for his album “The Lady Killer”. I have found his CD to be one of my top favorites to listen to throughout 2011 and I have yet to neither put it down nor tire of his songs. Each single he’s released has been explosive and successful and he has been able to create songs that jump out at you. The soulful artist’s song renamed “Forget You” introduced him heavily into rotation last fall.
AV8R - Sun Salutation

Atlanta's AV8R
High Grade Media just put out this dense and slightly psychedelic IDM session from Atlanta's AV8R. Bleepy, clicky, and trippy. Check it out.
The 2011 Soul Train Awards
0
The Soul Train Award show has rolled into town Thursday night and this time around it wasn't a long marathon compared to last year's seven hour ordeal. They endured almost 10 hours in Los Angeles the year before that. The Soul Train Awards will be held in the Fox Theatre. The awards will premiere on BET and Centric on November 27th at 9:00pm. Be sure to set-up your DVR or TiVo to record the award show. I will not spoil it for you on who won what as I'm sure this information can be obtained easily online if you really do want to know who won what award on the 2011 Soul Train Awards show.
The District Attorneys - 'Slowburner'
0
Just before heading into the studio to lay down their debut full-length, Atlanta's District Attorneys made sure to put out a quick preview of what to expect on the LP. Their basement sessions don't sound half bad for a few live demos; the sunny, '90s-style pop rock rings out clean and bright. The LP will be out in early 2012, but until then, you can download Waiting on the Calm Down: The Basement Sessions for free.

Sleep Dance - 'Snow Angels'
0
Each of the 4 tracks currently streaming on Sleep Dance's Bandcamp sound as though they've been carved from old wood and mottled autumn light. They've fully inhabited the softly folk-tinged rock that The Decemberists once perfected before shrinking to blander versions of their former selves. The band's 7-track debut EP can now be purchased for $7. You can also catch Sleep Dance around the Atlanta area this month. They'll be playing Wonder Root on November 18th and The Drunken Unicorn on the 26th.
