Homeless Tracks – Killin' the radio waves since 2012

Mike Morello – Up To Something [Album]

Back in February,we spoke with Mike Morello, musician and owner of the Vagabond Cafe. We touched a little on his music, but did not explore it nearly as in-depth as it deserves. And so as a follow-up, this article will discuss his album Up to Something. The benefit of this is two-fold. First, it’s a [...]

Annie Dressner – East Twenties [EP]

Dedicated readers that you are, I’m sure you all remember that interview we did with Annie Dressner back in November. Well I’m pleased to tell you that her EP East Twenties will be dropping on Monday, April 8th. As she told us when we spoke with her in November, it’s a 4 track acoustic EP. And [...]

Tracy Thorne – I Am That [Album]

I was not exaggerating when I raved about the Vagabond Cafe. It attracts performers of the highest caliber. Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting Tracy Thorne at an open mic there. Though I had the misfortune of having to follow her act (her’s was incredible. Mine, not so much), it was a pleasant evening [...]

The xx – “Last Christmas” (BBC Radio 1′s Live Lounge)

Just when I thought indie Christmas music was peaking/ coming to a doleful end, The xx pops up on BBC Radio 1′s Live Lounge with their mournful take on the quintessential holiday tune, “Last Christmas.” Rife with longing and hazy with anguish, “Last Christmas” falls right in line with the group’s typically dreary sound. Interestingly [...]

The Neighbourhood – “A Little Death”

Following the release of their single “Let It Go,” dropped 28 days ago via their SoundCloud profile, The Neighbourhood is back with “A Little Death,” the B-side to their newest vinyl, Thank You,. In line with their typically dark, brooding style, popularized by their first EP, I’m Sorry, “A Little Death” creeps over your skin [...]

The Daily Soup – Enjoy It Thoroughly

This is The Daily Soup – Enjoy It Thoroughly. We here at HomelessTracks, in an effort to maximize the practicality of our name, have decided to implement the Soup Kitchen. It’s the place to get that one last meal, that one last track. We pledge to bring you nothing but the best, for it might be [...]

Kids These Day – “Doo Wah” [Music Video]

Kids These Days is a 7-piece indie outfit from Chicago, Illinois. Their latest music video for “Doo Wah,” dropped as an mp3 stream via their SoundCloud about a month ago, was just released through noisey’s YouTube channel earlier today. As whimsical as their sound, the music video’s visuals are too evocative of both simpler and [...]

Los Campesinos! – “A Doe to a Deer”

Los Campesinos! is home for the holidays, kids. After a brief hiatus and a near-heartbreaking farewell from Ellen Campesinos!, the band’s bassist, the group has officially come forth with “A Doe to a Deer”–an upbeat, scintillating Christmas jingle. Rife with the group’s typically droll and clever wordplay, “A Doe to a Deer” introduces Christmas in [...]

Jim James – “Know Til Now”

Jim James is getting restless. My Morning Jacket has been unstable and slow to release content lately, and after branching out to play with the indie supergroup Monsters of Folk, James obviously has much bigger aspirations for himself. “Know Til Now” is the first single off his solo debut Regions of Light and Sound of God, [...]

Carousel – “Stay Awake”

The latest track by Brooklyn-based dreamwave outfit, Carousel, tells the story of a late night with a lover. “Stay Awake” begins with low bass rumblings, soft synth chords and the precise, dreamy voice of lead vocalist Jackson Phillips. “Black sky up above us, I drive they’ll never find us” Phillips sings, convincing the anonymous girl [...]

Yellow Ostrich – “Ghost” [Music Video]

Yellow Ostrich was originally known for their intimate, simple songs, but since its beginnings as the solo project of guitarist and singer Alex Schaaf, they have grown past that sense of lo-fi, 4-track aesthetic. Newer releases have been more full, a little more mature and produced. The track “Ghost” from their latest, eponymous named EP, however, is [...]

Widowspeak – “Ballad of the Golden Hour”

Widowspeak, a relativity unknown indie rock band located in the heart of Brooklyn, is on the rise in the indie scene. Their newest track, “Ballad of the Golden Hour,”  has been receiving praise across the blogosphere. They formed in 2010 and are composed of  Molly Hamilton and Robert Earl Thomas. Known for their dream-like, melodic vibes provided by Thomas’s guitar lines [...]
