Having already staged two South American legs this year, one of North Americas biggest live music events will return to home soil in the summer with over 160,000 festivalgoers with Lollapalooza tickets expected to descend upon Chicagos Grant Park on the weekend of Aug 2-4. Several acts who performed at the Brazilian date at Sao Paulos The Jockey Club in March and the Chilean version at Santiagos Parque OHiggins in April will grace the Lollapalooza stage for a second, and in some cases third, time in the space of six months including Queens Of The Stone Age, Two [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-22T12:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4964161/following-up-on-2012s-self-titled-ep-portlands/
Following up on 2012s self-titled EP, Portlands Pure Bathing Culture will releasing their debut full-length Moon Tides this Summer. First single Pendulum is a warm andreminiscingslice of seaside indie-pop that will be best enjoyed at the brisk of morning. Sarah Versprilles ethereal vocals give us hope among all of the despair.]]> text/html 2013-05-22T10:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4964067/pure-bathing-culture-pendulum/

It's a bit of form meeting function, vocals rising and falling in a swaying downbeat, as Pure Bathing Culture arrive at the chorus of lead track, "Pendulum" from forthcoming debut Partisan Records LP, Moon Tides . Like some lost 1980s revivalists who awoke in a universe of swimming pastels and Beach House songs set down 10 BPMs, Pure Bathing Culture prove expert at providing a type of modern moral-victory slow dance. "Pendulum" is a sweeping arrangement, an aperture opened wide, a melody focused on the natural rise and fall, the rhythmic cycles that [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-20T18:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4960618/first-city-festival-announces-inaugural-lineup/

Following an excellent debut - Pure Bathing Culture have crafted a fantastic sophomore effort in Moon Tides . With more sophisticated song structures and a delicate execution, PBC channel the best parts of Beach House with tinges of Cocteau Twins and a West Coast wispiness that fits their aesthetic perfectly. Moon Tides is out on August 20 on Partisan Records . Loving everything we've heard so far. VIA]]> text/html 2013-05-17T14:01:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4956327/flashback-sub-pop-records/
Today we flash backon another of our favourite labels: SUB POP RECORDS . They're responsible for the careers of a diverse range of bands, from Nirvana to Dum Dum Girls to our very own Husky . And they're celebrating 25 years in the business on July 13. That means that they've been around since 1988. Before that founder Bruce Pavitt started a fanzine called Subterranean Pop about American independent artists and their labels.

Saudades de msicas com menos elementos sintticos e uma produo mais natural? Fique de olho, portanto, no Soldiers Heart , um quinteto belga que timidamente tem chamado a ateno com seus exuberantes lanamentos independentes. De formao clssica, a banda conta com trs rapazes e uma vocalista, que fazem questo de usar poucos elementos eletrnicos resultando em belas produes naturais. Exemplo disso a atual cartada da banda, a tropiclia e sonhadora "African Heart", primeiro single oficial do grupo.

Nos referimos ao duo Wardell, formado por Sasha (filha de Spielberg com a atriz Kate Capshaw) e Theo, que foi adotado pelo casal. H dois anos eles postaram a primeira (e nica) msica em seu Soundcloud, Opossum, mas como ficaram sem dar notcias, muita gente achou que eles tivessem desistido do projeto.

London duo Still Corners have released their sophomore album today, named Strange Pleasures and it's highly recommend you get it on your playlist rotation. For me this album is a fresh breath of dream pop air drawing some similarities to a Beach House sound, with elements of Youth Lagoon and our featured track striking a Grimes chord. All these similarities put aside as this is their sound and this LP is full of some cracking tracks. I've already had 'Beatcity' on repeat along with, 'Fireflies'.

London based dreamsters Quimper contribute "Soft Bodies" to the compilation Soft Bodies Don't Bleed available here . It sounds like maybe what Beach House would have sounded like had they joined a traveling carnival act instead of signing to an indie label. The creepy synths sound even spookier next to the innocent child-like vocals. If you listen closely though it is striking and beautiful how they contextualize Beethovenian counterpoint and harmony into a hip dream pop song in 2013.

London-based trio Everything by Electricity craft a dreamy form of electro-pop with stepping stones in infectious dance and lush shoegaze. The latter shows most in their production, shrouded in warm reverb but not overtly so as to cloak the beautiful melodies. Their stellar vocalist, Yulia, essentially sounds like Beach House's Victoria Legrand, making the dream-pop/shoegaze comparisons all the easier. "Violet Haze" is a stunner that initially rides on extended synth pads and a nostalgic motor-like ignition. Fragments of rhythm guitar are laced around Yulia's vocals when they appear, as an interesting bridge approaches that features a whirring guitar transition. The [...]]]>
