Jettison Issue No. 7 Teaser: of Montreal

Jettison sat down with Kevin Barnes, the eclectic singer/songwriter that is of Montreal for our fall issue and got some deep insight into the new album, False Priest. You'll have to wait until the new issue is released on Friday to check out the article, but for now, here's Coquet Coquette off the album for your listening pleasure.

Jettison Issue No. 7 Teaser: Avan Lava

In an issue full of spectacular music interviews, our sit down with Avan Lava was lot of fun. The NYC band has recently released its debut album Vapors, made entirely with borrowed equipment and recorded in a church basement. Actually, we think the Avan Lava album would sound great played in a cathedral. While you could blandly categorize the album as electro-pop, Avan Lava plays their style of it with more soul and ambiant grandeur than most. Here's a few questions that didn't make it into the magazine, but you can check it out here to get a little taste.

Jettison: Of course, we know what kind of music you specialize in, but would you care to make a few playlists for Jettison, on of Doo-wop and Soul music, and another one of Country-Western songs?
