Jarrod Gorbel announces Night Terrors of 1927

I’ve been a big fan of The Honorary Title since I was in high school, so naturally I was heartbroken when they broke up a few years back. But I’m so thrilled that lead singer Jarrod Gorbel just announced his new project, Night Terrors of 1927. Two songs have been released so far, and I like what I’m hearing so far! Check them out:



The synth pop style of Night Terrors is very different from the acoustic guitar that usually accompanies Jarrod’s voice, but it’s nice to shake things up a bit. I always admire a musician who tries something new, rather than writing the same song over and over again.

The release says that the band will be releasing its first EP in the fall, followed by a full length early in 2014. I don’t know if Night Terrors of 1927 will be able to fill the Honorary Title-sized hole in my heart, but I’m looking forward to seeing where this band goes in the future.

Nothing wrong when a song ends in the minor key.

I'm sorry, but I can't focus on writing a coherent post when Fiona Apple keeps releasing new songs. Is it June 19th yet?

While I might not be able to stop squirming in anticipation long enough to write something about Fiona, there are some great new interviews and photos in the New York Times, Black Book and Spin. (Hey Spin, this doesn't make up for you publishing nasty reviews of When The Pawn..., just FYI.)

I could liken you to a werewolf the way you left me for dead,
but I admit that I provided a full moon.
And I could liken you to a shark the way you bit off my head,
but then again, I was waving around a bleeding open wound.

But you were such a super guy til the second you get away from me.
We're like a wishing well and a bolt of electricity.
But we can still support each other,
all we got to do is avoid each other.
