Indie Obsessive: Three for Free - The Classics III

     To quote the blog entries of February 28 (CLICK HERE) and March 23 (CLICK HERE):

"When you have IADD (Indie Attention Dis-obsessive Disorder), songs that are only a year old are sometimes considered “classics.”  It is typical to discover a band, become so obsessive in listening to the songs of the newly discovered band that they are repeated using the loop mode, but then undeservedly leave the band behind as other bands are discovered. The five songs in the right-hand column are currently in that obsessive play condition. Below are songs from three bands which are still visited by us, but which no longer receive the amount of play they deserve. All of the songs are being offered without charge by the bands or their recording labels, making them Free, Legal and Recommended downloads (FLR downloads)."

In Golden Tears

    The first song is one that is receiving some attention. because the free download has resurfaced. This is likely a result of a push by the band to release an album in 2013. The song is "Urban Emotions" by In Golden Tears. The band is based in Hamburg, Germany and its members are Patrick H. Kowalewski (Vocals, Guitar), Mats Dörband (Bass), Patrick Behrens (Vocals, Guitar), Robin Shaw (Drums) and Max Schild (Keyboard, Synthesizer).

     According to the Facebook page of In Golden Tears:

After self-releasing their debut single "Urban Emotions", produced by Marius Lauber and mastered by Andrew Heppner through Humming Records / Rough Trade, as well as having extensively toured UK and mainland Europe, In Golden Tears are now in the process of writing and recording material for their debut album due in 2013.

     The third song is “Collector” by Here We Go Magic, a Brooklyn, NY band. This is one of our favorite in-concert songs, with its immediate energy kickoff by the guitar riff and its ability to keep the interest in the song alive for the entire five minutes.
