New music: Futurebirds "Johnny Utah"

   

Just a quick one here, but I couldn't pass-up posting this track.  Futurebirds are set to release their debut LP, Hampton's Lullaby, on July 27th.  Their music recalls the lo-fi high lonesome sound of MMJs first three records - which means you'll probably dig it.  The first track off that album, Johnny Utah, is now making the rounds. Highly recommended, check it out below:

If you missed it before, Futurebirds have also made their fantastic EP available for free - details here

Futurebirds, a septet from Athens GA, write earnest folk-rock songs with plenty of harmonies and then drench them in reverb - sounds like most of my favorite bands.  Yes, recommended for fans of My Morning Jacket, Fleet Foxes, et al.  If you aren't already sold, the band is giving away their great EP gratis --  go here and get it or, click below to stream one of the tracks:

FYI - Futurebirds will be at TTs on May 16 with Jessica Lea Mayfield
