Pegasvs - Brillar

Pegasvs - Brillar Pegasvs es el proyecto de Sergio Pérez García y Luciana Della Villa, un duo de Barcelona haciendo un muy buen pop con muchos sintetizadores. Hace unos meses salió su álbum debut y "Brillar" el track con el que éste abre está estrenando video. El video fue hecho por CANADA, estudio que además de haber hecho el video de "Bombay" del Guincho y "Ice Cream" de Battles, lanzó el disco homónimo de Pegasvs. Enjoy.

Ninetails // Blue Bottle Flu

Ninetails // Blue Bottle Flu Last weekend Liverpool Sound City saw most of the worthwhile bits of the music industry ascend to the city of Pope Steven Gerrard in pursuit of free alcohol, 'networking opportunities' and music. Watching jealously from my self-imposed exile, throughout the very extensive coverage came a common theme ; Ninetails are almost everybody's favourite new band, thanks to a mixture of taut, Tall-Ships-ian melodies and elastic facial impressions. Excessively generous as they are, Ninetails subsequently released new single "Blue Bottle Flu" on Monday, and you can even pay what you like for [...]

Fest Bests: Bloc.2012.

Fest Bests: Bloc.2012. Quietly, calmly moving along from its Butlins residence this year's Bloc. relocates to the similarly newly rejuvenated London Pleasure Gardens way out east somewhere along the DLR. Exchanging Centre Stage and Crazy Horse for German deep-sea fishing vessel MS Stubnitz and the imposing scenic surrounds of derelict warehouses, this year's festivities sensibly snub the Sabbath, a day that's traditionally as limp as a waterlogged Minehead hotdog stuck in the seashore as far as most festivals are concerned. Thus Bloc. is to take place on Friday, 6th July and Saturday, 7th July, and our scattily selected highlights are [...]

Hyper Cyber-Balladry, Yeasayer.

Hyper Cyber-Balladry, Yeasayer. At long bleedin' last Yeasayer hath returned. With physicals of this one, Henrietta, shipped out to the band's mailing list a short while ago all of a less eager and/or engaged disposition may now indulge via the below stream (ta, We All Want Someone To Shout For ). It's immediately seemingly pretty evident that the genre-bounders have been listening extensively to fellow New Yorkers Battles' Gloss Drop / Dross Glop (either/ or) although it's a wholly effervescent fizz of hyper, cyber-balladry irregardless and a quite wondrous [...]

Song of the Day: Battles – Ice Cream

Song of the Day: Battles – Ice Cream There's little better than efficient creativity – and Battles has that combination down. The rock group blew listeners away with its first album, Mirrored, in 2007. Shortly after came Gloss Drop – and now (enter the efficient creativity component) – welcome Dross Glop. The band's latest creation is unique, yet capitalizes on the second album's tracks by remixing all of its original tracks via guest remixers including The Field, Kode9, and Qluster. The result? Awesomeness. My favorite track on the new album is probably Ice Cream from Dross Glop 4 (the [...]

Yeah Okay, You're Right : So it's less than a month away now, and we've not said a word about it (yo, things got hectic around here!), but we're still very excited for the 'roo.

For a long weekend, music fans flood the small Tennessee town and camp out [...]

Battles – Dross Glop album review

I remember back in the day when Limewire still existed, I downloaded anything with the label "remix" beside it. I thought remixes were the coolest things, and since I was so inept about music at the time, I loved every last one. Now that I'm not a mere toddler, I'm a little more picky. Released over a period of several months, the Dross Glop remix album by Battles featuring retuned tracks from Gloss Drop , is finally complete. Four separate vinyl releases have added up to an ambitious project, one messy (but awesome) looking cover, and a new [...]

Audiography: Episode 034: "Doug Martsch (of Built to Spill)"

On this edition of Audiography, we feature reviews of the latest releases by former White Stripe Jack White, Spencer Krug's experimental project Moonface, a remix of Battles' Gloss Drop , and the bass-pushing production of Bassnectar.

#180 – Record Store Day Special

#180 – Record Store Day Special It's very nearly one of my favourite days of the year. It's a day when people are encouraged not to just click the 'download' link next to the song they're listening to, but to put on some trousers, shoes and other going-outside necessaries, totter down to the local (preferably independent) record store and pay in circular bits of metal and rectangular bits of paper for a - wait for it - physical copy of said song. Now bear with me. This isn't some new-fangled idea that some hipster came up with, but it's what people used to do [...]

[Review/Listen] – Bear In Heaven – "I Love You, It's Cool"

I thanked the music god when Bear In Heaven's new album "I Love You, It's Cool" finally came out. The band had posted a stream of the album playing 400,000% slower than normal and it was so tedious. I understand their intentions for doing so, but doing something as gimmicky as that isn't going to stop illegal downloads. So what does this album have apart from a silly stream, lush art design, and a boring music video? The short answer is; lots of tribal drumming. I've been excited for this album to drop for a long [...]

Fortune Rookies Invade Colonial Hipsterburg

Fortune Rookies Invade Colonial Hipsterburg Idioteque - Radiohead @ HP Pavilion, San Jose, 2012-April-11. The incredible lighting as seen in the picture above is by Andi Watson ( interview ) who has been doing Radiohead's lighting/stage design since almost the beginning of when the band first started touring nationally. Thank you W.A.S.T.E. for the incredible seats. One of the best Radiohead shows I have ever seen, and that's mainly because of the lighting.

MAPS & ATLASES, BATTLES, DRY THE RIVER [WEEK'S TOP RELEASES]

Spiritualized, Hey Jane
All the bands we think you should listen to this week have at least one thing in common with another on the list. 1 - Thery're British (therefore automatically awesome). 2 - It's been too long since we've had new material from them. 3 - They have math rock tendencies. 4 - New, poppier songs are not what we're used to hearing from them. 5 - They're just basically awesome all around. Can you tell which is which? [...]
