Parts & Labor Do Daytrotter

New Daytrotter session with Parts & Labor playing extended versions from their new album Constant Future. From Daytrotter:

“The one thing that you can never deny this ultra-creative trio is that, even when it sounds like 20 drag races to the death, happening simultaneously, busting out windows with their hauling ass decibels, lighting their clothing, our clothing, the fields, the barns all on fire in doing so, waking everyone within a hundred miles up with its monstrous cacophony, it still comes to us, almost sweetly.”

We couldn’t agree more. Check out the session HERE.

Small Black Visit Daytrotter

It’s a warm sunny day here in Indiana. Spring is in full-effect. Perfect weather for rolling the windows down and crankin’ some Small Black to soundtrack your drive time. Like they read our mind, Daytrotter delivers us a new session with Small Black. Check it out HERE.

S. Carey Daytrotter Session

S. Carey’s Daytrotter Session has just been posted here! Sean, Nick, Zach and Jeremy stopped by the new Austin DT back in September during the Tallest Man on Earth tour. We heard the sound engineer cut his hand when opening up the studio- yikes!! Thanks for taking one home for the team, Matt.

Carey sings on the album’s opening track, “If I could run my fingers through your hair/If you could run along the shore and air/I would keep all my mornings clear/Move all your bees to here,” and hell man, that’s some dangerous shit to be wanting.

Right inside those words, we feel the scale tipping a little and we feel that while some of sweet-sounding and dewy, but sunburned moments have known some sadness, there’s no way they’ve seen it all yet.

S. Carey will be on tour this Winter warming your hearts one stop at a time!

GAYNGS Does Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, Daytrotter Session

GAYNGS is currently sweeping the nation, one slow jam at a time!

First, the group did a Daytrotter session that includes a brilliant cover of Sade’s “By Your Side” as well as RELAYTED favorites “The Gaudy Side of Town,” “No Sweat” and “Crystal Rope.”

Daytrotter founder Sean Moeller subsequently captured the essence of GAYNGS during their sesh:

These 10 men, occasionally 23 people, often somewhere in between, are beholden to nothing but their inner boombox and what seems to be pumping on them are the sounds of Hall & Oates, the Bee Gees, Bread, Eric B & Rakim, A Tribe Called Quest, The Doobie Brothers and Sade.

Then they turned it up to 11 on last night’s performance of “Gaudy” on Jimmy Fallon. Click here to watch the full episode.

Check out some choice shots from last night and remaining GAYNGS fall dates, after the jump.
