Alfredo & Edeath, are a couple of music lovers who met later in life but grew up loving almost the same bands and hating others but always listening to music, old and new, and apart from collecting vinyl and books and going to see every good band coming to town, (or a few miles away), got together and created "I think i better follow you around", a website/music blog, where they share all the music they like and help promote upcoming concerts, local bands from San Diego and Tijuana and amazing artists from around the world.
I think I better follow you around is an independent project.
Swervedriver have shared the first single, “Volume Control”, off their upcoming EP “The World’s Fair” out March 7th via Outer Battery.
TRACKLIST: 01. Pack Yr Vision 02. Volume Control 03. The World’s Fair 04. Time Attacks
Adam Franklin shared this about the release: “We haven’t really done an EP since our days with Creation. I have no idea why it was the done thing back then, but it was a cool way to present your music with no sort of commitment to direction. You could just go off on one on any song if you wanted, and that’s what we wanted to do again here. I’ve always consumed music via singles anyway and was always partial to a good B-side or three.”
My Morning Jacket has shared the first single, “Time Waited”, off their upcoming 10th album “is” out March 21st via ATO.
TRACKLIST:
1. Out in the Open 2. Half a Lifetime 3. Everyday Magic 4. I Can Hear Your Love 5. Time Waited 6. Beginning From the Ending 7. Lemme Know 8. Squid Ink 9. Die For It 10. River Road
Jim James shared this about the song: ““Time Waited” began with a sample of a piano part from pedal-steel player Buddy Emmons’ album, Emmons Guitar Inc. I made a loop of that piano intro and listened as I went for a walk, and all these melodies started coming to me. For a long time, I didn’t have lyrics, but then I had a dream where I was in a café and a song was playing, and the lyrics to that song became the lyrics to ‘Time Waited’ the melodies just fit perfectly. And the lyrics are about how flexible time is, how we can bend and warp time, especially if we are following our hearts, the universe and time itself can flow to work with us.”
The video for the song was directed by Daniel Clinch.
Regarding the album title James shared this: “I like how the word ‘is’ indicates a sense of presence in the now there’s no logic or rationale behind this record; it just is. All these songs came into existence out of an attempt to connect with something beyond the human experiment, which for me is one of the most beautiful things about music that connection with something larger than us, yet something we are all equally a part of.”
Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory have shared the third single, “Trouble”, off their upcoming self titled album out February 7th via Jagjaguwar.
Sharon Van Etten shared this about the song: “‘Trouble’ is about the idea of having to coexist with people you love who have opposing views, and not being able to share deep parts of yourself and your narrative based on someone else’s beliefs. It’s about when there’s that big part of you that someone who loves you can’t know because it’s not something they want to hear or are willing to learn about or understand, and those painful realizations when you choose to love and respect someone else’s needs over your own to salvage a relationship.”
The band shared a live performance of the song being performed live at the Church Studios in London and it was directed by Susu Laroche.

Mike Hadreas (Perfume Genius) shared this about the song: “I wake up overwhelmed even when nothing is going on. I spend the rest of the day trying to regulate, which I prefer to do at home alone with my thoughts. But why? They are mostly bad. They also haven’t really changed for decades. I wrote ‘It’s a Mirror’ while stuck in one of these isolating loops, seeing that something different and maybe even beautiful is out there but not quite knowing how to venture out. I have a lot more practice keeping the door closed.”
The video for the song was directed by Cody Critcheloe.
Perfume Genius will go on tour starting in May to support the album below are the initial dates that have been announced. No dates for Southern California (nor Tijuana) have been announced yet.

Miki Berenyi Trio is led by the former singer / guitarist from the band Lush. Berenyi shared this about the single: “Simon Raymonde instantly picked this out as a single and it immediately went down a storm when we played it live. I can’t pretend that I am in a position to lecture others over their green credentials but there’s a broader philosophy in the song that I can relate to, humanity hurtling toward its own destruction, which (to me) applies as much to wars and social intolerance as it does environmental issues.”
The video for the song was directed by Sébastien Faits-Divers.
Benjamin Booker has shared the third single, “Slow Dance In A Gay Bar”, off his upcoming album “Lower” that comes out January 24th on Fire Next Time Records via Thirty Tigers.
The video was co-directed by Benjamin Booker and Gerry Cisneros. Booker shared this about the song: “You know, sometimes you find yourself in a death hole, surrounded by bones and rotting flesh. It feels like every second is a shovel-full of dirt flung on your head, the worms are laughing at you, hungry, ready to eat. But then, out of nowhere, the impossible happens. A ladder appears. You climb up and the world you knew before is completely different. The colors are more saturated. The sun shines brighter and the air smells sweet like honey. This song is about that. We shot this video in the French Quarter before the attack. I’d like to dedicate it to the victims.”
(The) James Brandon Lewis Trio have shared the second single, “Prince Eugene”, off their upcoming album “Apple Cores” out February 7th via ANTI-.

James Brandon Lewis shared this about the album: “The album takes its name and intention from the column that poet and jazz theorist Amiri Baraka wrote for DownBeat in the 1960’s. I was first exposed to Amiri Baraka at Howard University (also Baraka’s alma mater). “Blues People” (Baraka’s groundbreaking 1963 study of Black American music), was required reading. I’m always in constant dialogue with his work. The record itself is a nod to Amiri but mainly a nod to Don Cherry, using Amiri as a branch to really get the conversation going. It’s not a tribute in the sense that we’re playing Don Cherry compositions, but that the music is commenting on his musical curiosity.
