It seems to be increasingly more difficult to find new bands to get excited about. I’m not saying there aren’t plenty of bands, because music has a larger presence now than ever. With so many bands all vying for your attention, it can be hard to distinguish and a lot of them end up sounding the same. The New Frontiers are a diamond in the rough for me. The band recently released their debut album Mending on The Militia Group label. The record is filled with eleven tracks of contemplative indie rock that reaches into the alt country realm and holds your attention from beginning to end. The band hail from Dallas and have been playing together for a few years now, previously under the name Stellamaris. I was introduced to The New Frontiers by The Relevant Podcast. You can download the featured episode here. It includes a great acoustic version of “Black Lungs” the opener on Mending. It’s not that The New Frontiers are covering much new ground, but there is a certain earnestness to the music that really grabs me. All of the tracks are well suited for driving across country or just driving around at night and doing some deep thinking. “Strangers” is a standout for me because of the lyrics and the fact that the bridge is almost like a second chorus. As of right now, Mending is only $5.99 on iTunes and Amazon mp3, so there’s really no excuse not to check it out. Trust me you’ll get more than your money’s worth.
