Dashboard Confessional (Solo Acoustic)

Tallhart [formerly known as Marksmen] are back with a new EP, Bloodlines, and its six tracks are a gorgeous display of indie-rock melodies and post-rock instrumentation, tinged with folk influences and delivered with heart. There's the sunny, youthful vibe of [the aptly titled] "Drunk Kids," the hushed acoustics leading to soaring instrumentation on "Wolves," and the rich and woody, dark vibes of album opener and first single "Fever (Sister of Mine)." All fuse together to create a unique and thoughtful offering, which you can now spin in full with this exclusive premiere. The EP officially drops April 10 via Equal Vision Records.

Elle King sounds like Billie Holiday having a shot of whiskey with Johnny Cash. She loves banjos and hobos. Born in Ohio and raised in Brooklyn, Elle retains her roots in a style that blends those worlds of both grit and mid-western charm. She ties her old soul, blues, and rock 'n' roll influences into a sound that’s all her own. She’s far from a bully but she ain’t a punk. To hear her is to believe her.

"Living proof that if you use a Ouija board properly, you can summon the ghosts of Bowery balladettes and Robert Johnson while the angels run a capella and the devil duets on banjo to create Elle King’s shockingly sexy-sorrowful songsmithery. The Brooklyn-based siren has a sweetheart-with-a-knife voice that promises potentially dangerous intimacy on a grand, spooky scale." – Marc Savlov, The Austin Chronicle
