Dad Rocks!

LIYL: Akron/family, Owen, Bill Callahan, and Why


Drawing inspiration from the things immediately surrounding him,
Snævar Njáll Albertsson, writes about the relations closest to him.
Namely, his beautiful and creative daughter, who thought up the moniker Dad Rocks! (go figure)
His lyrics, are well-crafted and shed imagery with every new stanza.
'Nuff said.

The songs consists of twinkling pianos, bright acoustic finger plucking, and other various classical instruments that blend themselves into anthem-like arrangements.
Rendered into its own genre, consider Dad Rocks! as a brew of Indie-Folk music with a dash of Lo-Fi Pop

Practicing the sponge-approach, Dad Rocks! embodies anything it wants to.
Absorbing anything deemed creative to utilize and squeeze out all at once.
Which is actually fairly similar to what it's like to be a kid.
Never really knowing who you are, you helplessly scramble to try and figure it out.
You take pieces of everything as you get older.
Absorb anything that comes in contact with you.
Grab ahold of certain values and extremities but reject others.
Then, in a blended mess, you whisk them all together to form who you are.

Well that, in essence, is Dad Rocks!
It is the ability to uncover yourself over an elapsed period of time, through creativity and discovery.

The John Barry Conception

LIYL: This Town Needs Guns, Maps & Atlases, and Rodrigo Y Gabriela



Hailing from the vast hills of Virginia, The John Barry Conception unleashes their latest and most impressive album to date. Extraordinarily arranged, the tracks would blemish and distort themselves if they weren't so luminously polished. At first listen, the album catapults the lavish fragrance of indolent suburbia directly at your face. But soon after it takes an even truer form, of which it exposes itself as an accurate display of carelessness. The record marks perfection when the mistakes don't quite sound like mistakes anymore. Instead, they form a sort of opulent tapestry that unravels as it progresses. Never fully understanding its true image until fully untwisted. The band uses that infinite energy to create bountiful melodies that march on longer than they could have ever dreamt.
