Ace Reporter might be one of SXSW 2013's best new bands

I recently came across Ace Reporter and their new album Yearling.  I had missed this Brookyln, New York based band's EP releases the past two years.  Yearling is an album best listened to in full.  I really enjoy sitting back and listening to an album and seeing how all the songs fit together.  This isn't one of those LP's you want to mine for singles.  The atmospheric synth organically mixes in with the guitars really losing the listener in the music.  They remind me a lot of that New York boom in alternative that happened in the early to mid 2000's.

"Bronze" seems to be the bands first single from Yearling.  It might be one of the bands most moody songs.  It's a bit more stark than the rest of the LP.  It's perfect music for a rainy day.

One of my personal favorites from Yearling is "Guilttrip."  It's has a stripped down dark-wave sound that I really like.  This album really goes through all the emotions.  I enjoy a band that can really be versatile and take you on a mood driven journey.
