First and foremost, let's cut the crap and dive right on into the deepest ends of hyperbole by stating that this tangential project from perpetually shoeless Caribou drummer Brad Weber – alliteratively entitled Pick a Piper – is flecked with signs of the lively promise of a reenergised Swim right from the off. An eponymous début 8-track full-length is expected next week (April 2nd) on Mint Records and though that's more than we can as yet divulge, you'll just have to take our word for it being a positively vital contemporary recording for the time being. Akin [...]

If my 18-year-old self knew that I would willingly buy a $40 ticket to a concert by Yes in 2013, I may have spitefully cut off my callow ears. I bought into the idea that the overblown music of Yes represented everything that was "wrong." At this late date, however, such dated musical turf battles seem silly. Two recent events compelled me to join the audience of about 2,000 at the Midland on Monday. Peter Banks , a founder of Yes, died March 7. He was 65. Secondly, Animal Collective postponed a [...]

Young Dreams: Between Places - Take a moment to imagine the joyful energy of any classic Beach Boys track blended with the innovative characteristics of old Animal Collective songs, maybe a dash of fusion jazz and whatever else you can find, and what you’ve got is Young Dreams . Their debut album, Between Places , is a great way to kick off the spring season; it’s a fun, crazy, beautiful, disorienting, and imaginative auditory experience. I’ll admit, after the first track, I had to hear another. Throughout the album [...]

Depeche Mode , however, largely bucks that trend. At it - it being one of the most influential electronic/alternative bands going - for more than three decades now, their output may have slowed a bit following their opening pace of six albums in seven years, but since 19872s massive Songs Of Faith and Devotion , they've kept a remarkably steady cycle of [...]
