After a week away, it was nice to be back in the studio. This week I played several folk-related tunes, a few garage-based ones, and a small handful of indie pop tracks. With the amount of indie-folk I've played of late, I'm thinking we're in store for another dreamy mix and maybe even a garage rock mix in the near future. Andi and I have been on a DIY kick of late and a recent project has been homemade laundry detergent. With the three ingredients displayed in the photo above, along [...]
1 - Mogwai - Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will Mogwai yet again releases an amazingly ambient yet centrally driving album filled with anticpatory progressions and songs that blend sonically disparate sections as if they were just one melodic chorus. 2 - Yeasayer - End Blood Yeasayer's 'End Blood' EP made the list thanks to [...]

Mick Rock I will be the first to admit to not really being able to tell where Bradford Cox's Deerhunter ends and his Atlas Sound begins. I know that the former is ostensibly a band and the latter a solo project, but to my ears the hazy, psychedelic rock that each project produces isn't exactly a world apart. Okay, Atlas Sound is more keys, less guitars, but they're both critically adored and don't really do a lot for me, despite on paper being the sort of thing I should totally dig. [...]
Photo by Philip Cosores One of our favorite musicians, Bradford Cox, is going to head back on the road next month as his Atlas Sound solo act with a just-announced string of dates in support of last year's quite good Parallax . Atlas Sound will wit up Noise Pop in San Francisco, as well as west coast visits to Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver. The rest of the tour will stick to major cities in the north, including Chicago and Boston. Check out a complete list of tour stops below. [...]

Photo by Catherine Watkins Bradford Cox has announced a new round of U.S. tour dates for his Atlas Sound solo project. Supporting last year's 18th best album, Parallax , Cox has a number of dates spread out across the country over the next two months, including a coffeeshop gig in Binghamton, New York, a string a dates along the West coast, and a pair of shows in Minneapolis and Cleveland. He'll also head to Tokyo in mid-February for appearance at the Hostess Club Weekender, alongside Spiritualized, Toro Y Moi, and Perfume [...]
Επιτέλους, ήρθε η στιγμή που περιμένατε! (Το ξέρουμε ότι δυσκολευόσασταν να κοιμηθείτε τελευταία!) Μετά από επανειλημμένες ακροάσεις σε λίγες εκατοντάδες δίσκους και μερικές χιλιάδες τραγούδια, μπορούμε πλέον να βάλουμε καπάκι στο μουσικό 2011 και να δούμε τι μας έμεινε περισσότερο. Και μας έμειναν, όπως θα δείτε σε αυτό και τα επόμενα ποστς, πολλά. Τα κομμάτια που μας άρεσαν ήταν πάρα πολλά οπότε το να ξεχωρίσουμε (και να γράψουμε για) τα κορυφαία 60 δεν ήταν καθόλου εύκολη δουλειά, αλλά δεν θέλαμε να αδικήσουμε κανένα απ'όλα όσα μας κράτησαν συντροφιά σε μια πολύ [...]
I don't mean to be a prude when I do this, but we all had favourite albums last year, you can't deny that, and I had too many. In fact, so many that I loved that it was difficult to decide between them all, and I had been reading endless 'trendy choice' end-of-year lists before the year had even gone out. So I thought I might deliver some kind of personal justice by posting one that people can sneer at all they want, but might actually pick out something they overlooked and think "Hey, I might actually try that now, [...]
I love it when N8 submits his year-end lists. They are unpretentious, span a vast repertoire of genres, and typically include several albums I have yet to hear. N82s 2011 list fits the mold: in fact, I have yet to listen to any of the ones that made the list this year. Now this is not by lack of want or know - I'm familiar with many of the albums, just haven't gotten around to them. Dig in and enjoy! Intro by Fense * * [...]

2011 brought about what may be the strongest Top Ten list I've made in recent memory. It was a great year and I was completely blown away by all of these albums. In fact, I agonized over the order of this list for longer than I'd like to admit and it might have been different if I made a week from now — but that's really a good problem. Not to mention that this list paired up pretty nicely with your votes this year, which is definitely a new thing. So, great taste World! [...]
ALBUMS OF THE YEAR #10 ATLAS SOUND - PARALLAX I distinctly remember not warming to this record very easily, but it only took a couple of spins for Bradford Cox (of Deerhunter) and his icily tentative acoustic collages to unwind, much to my reward. Free singles 'Terra Incognita' and 'Flagstaff' are creepy and vast and non-visual, and I think they really misrepresent the hope from anguish which 'Parallax' encompasses. The other ten songs are still careful and delicately measured, but at a little more speed and presence, no less style. 'Mona Lisa' is genuinely [...]
I think we can all agree that Bradford Cox, the mastermind behind both Deerhunter and Atlas Sound , knows a thing or two about making music. While I'm not a huge fan of some of his tracks (I find them to be a bit too long-winded and experimental), "Mona Lisa" is definitely something I can sink my ears into. This is about as concise and poppy as Atlas Sound gets, and I would buy any album full of similarly cool psychedelic indie rock. Cox's latest release under the AS moniker, Parallax , has received widespread critical acclaim, so you know [...]
