If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Lithophyte Photography / Vivian Wang While we love David Wax Museum in all their forms, every album has that one song that's just extra special. The song that goes in different directions and just hits all of our sweet spots in one single song. "Equal in the Darkness" might be that type of song from their new album. "Equal in the Darkness" seems like a pretty straightforward folk/pop song. It has beautiful harmonization between David Wax and Suz Slezak. The instrumentation between verses might be even more beautiful. They even throw in verses of "wooo-oooo-ooohs" that will suck you in fully if you somehow weren't before. It's just an absurdly perfect little song. You can listen to "Equal in the Darkness" below. Line of Light , the upcoming album from David Wax Museum, will be out August 23 on Nine Mile Records. You can pre-order a copy of the album here . For more on David Wax Museum, check out their website .

The album version is now available to listen to, and it was worth waiting. This version has a softer feel than the previously heard live performance. Suz Slezak's voice has a particularly trippy feel to it as she vocalizes during instrumental parts of the song. Trippy might be the best way to describe "Uncover the Gold," a song that has the most hypnotizing handclaps of all time. Yes, that is a weird way to describe handclaps, but trust us on that. This continues David Wax Museum's progression from album to album. None of their albums feel like complete departures from the previous album, but they all go off in a different direction just enough to keep their sound evolving and interesting.

Photo by  Shantel Mitchell Breen This may not be the official first single off David Wax Museum's highly anticipated new album, but it is a professionally recorded and shot video, so it will do for now. David Wax Museum were recently in Austin (most likely for SXSW) and stopped by for a Jam in the Van session. Of of the songs they recorded is "Uncover the Gold," which will be on their upcoming album. "Uncover the Gold" seems like a standard, mostly mainstream folk song on the surface. And it would be a great song if that's what it is. As you listen to it, you start noticing the horns bring in the Mexican folk they normally do in a David Wax Museum song, but they join in with Suz Slezak's fiddle in an odd almost indie rock noise harmony. It helps to make a really cool song something even more intriguing.  You can watch the Jam in the Van version of "Uncover the Gold" below.

Photo via Facebook Obviously this isn't the album version of a new song from David Wax Museum's upcoming new album, but any time we have a chance to share new music from them with you we definitely will. This version of "Big Sur" is a duo version recorded in David and Suz's kitchen. It's a quiet, beautiful song that's pretty standard folk, but we mean that in the absolute best possible way. The harmonizing between the pair has never been better than it is here, and it ends with an instrumental part that you just wish could hang on a little bit longer because the vocals at the end are just soul crushingly sad. You can watch the live in their kitchen version of "Big Sur" below. Line of Light , the new album from David Wax Museum, is available for pre-order with multiple tiers for four more days at IndieGogo . For more on David Wax Museum, check out their website .

Photo by David LaMason We don't usually tell you about a crowdfunded project unless we can bring you at least a new song from that project, but this is David Wax Museum. They've long been a favorite of ours, and I believe they just might be the last artist I was able to drag Jeff out to see live. Right now they are finishing up their newest album and have launched an IndieGogo to fund it. Line of Light appears to be set for a June release, and if you know you're going to be purchasing it, why not do it now? It can be as simple as an album pre-order, but they also have some pretty sweet tiers that include a handmade Valentine from Suz Slezak, a singing Valentine, VIP concert tickets, a donkey jawbone necklace, and a duo house concert. You can find out more about the pre-order for Line of Light over at Indiegogo . It was produced by Carl Broemel and recorded in Nashville. For more on David Wax Museum, check out their website. Current tour dates are below. Feb 7 - Kenn...
