So many new releases, so little time. Here are a few guaranteed to brighten up a Friday. Loving this new track, Yatton from Beak> in all its hypnotic, krautrock inspired glory. From a new album due in the summer. a In a similar vein, Arc In Round's self-titled debut LP, being released June 26, by La Société Expéditionnaire , reflects a sensibility garnered from endless hours of studio tracking and hypnotic experimentation - think Stereolab meets Broadcast with the [...]
Here is this week's music singles chart for the week ending April 29 - May 5. This week's #1 goes to a split single with Xiu Xiu that was recently released on Record Store Day.

This piece of new music from Arc in Round has left us winded. It's called Hallowed and it's like a sonic punch to the stomach that you can't help but enjoy. It's taken from the band's forthcoming self-titled album, which is due out soon via La Société Expéditionnaire . Have a listen to it here: Hallowed
I'm really excited by the possibilities in music nowadays, especially with the layering of various instruments and the varying movements within tracks. With that in mind, take a listen to this new jam from Arc In Round ; you'll find this song on their self-titled debut, which hits stores on June 5th via La Societe Expeditionnaire . There's all sort of things occurring within the track, not to mention the actual main piece of music itself, and it all works, it's all unified. Perhaps I just like to see how [...]
What's with this thematic time of the year thing being totally off with artists' releases? A couple days ago we got some new tracks from Wintermitts, and now we're getting a helluva dark song from Arc in Round called "Hallowed." This would have been a perfect release on, say, October 31. But noooo, indie musicians have to buck the norm and we have to expected the unexpected. Whatever, yo. Check out "Hallowed" below, featuring Kurt Vile on trumpet (which sounds awesome in this song), off Arc in Round's forthcoming s/t album. The album will be out June 5 on [...]

>> Mike Quinn was smoking with the boys upstairs when he heard about the whole affair. And then he recorded a warped version of Steely Dan 's "My Old School," which seems like a nice way to kick off 2012 here at Ye Olde Blogge. Mr. Quinn's version shuffles slowly, drunkenly, a bit like the title track to Arcade Fire 's The Suburbs , slack-key guitar briefly trading spaces with Richardsian licks. It's highly enjoyable. We last heard from Quinn in July, when he issued the charming solo set Magico , which we wrote [...]

Over here at The Key, we've been vocal supporters of the Bands In The Backyard gang. Needless to say, I was pretty psyched when they invited me to DJ at their December party (this Saturday at Little Bar ), and thought I'd extend the same courtesy by inviting one of the bands on the bill to guest DJ on XPN22s Philly Local Second Shift. The group that took me up on it was Streetwalkers , featuring BITBY co-founder Kyle Costill on keyboards, and tonight the fivesome takes to the internet / HD airwaves with a fine [...]
The War on Drugs Three smoke-'em-if-you-got-'em reasons to hit up Lincoln Hall tonight... 1. Philadelphia indie rockers T he War On Drugs may not be from Chicago, but the outfit is certainly reminscient of local Americana-rockers Wilco with its penchant for alt-country rhythms. Frontman Adam Granduciel takes from plenty of influences including Bob Dylan and even the spacey tones of shoegazers My Bloody Valentine to create a sound you never knew you wanted to hear, synth-folk. WATCH: " Baby Missiles ." [...]
