Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, and director John Hillcoat have a flawless track record collaborating on music for film so far, but for their latest project, Lawless , Cave and Co. may have outdone themselves. Where The Road and The Proposition leaned heavily on moody, Cave/Ellis-penned instrumentals, the music of Lawless is rife with guest performers and inspired cover song choices. With a story set during the United States' prohibition era (1919 - 1933), the soundtrack's core group of performers - Cave, Ellis, Martyn Casey, George Vjestica and David Sard - were dubbed a perfectly appropriate name: The Bootleggers.

As the intake of extra high digital & analogue releases just keeps on flowing through at AN headquarters on a daily basis, we reach the conclusion that being inundated with newer and semi old tunes will never be an old fashioned or frustrating prerequisite. With the endless flow of global talent that always never fails to amaze, its productions and mindsets like these that challenge the soul always, and relinquish the heart continually. Turning the impossible into the possible, is the man that they call Steve Narvaez . Aka The R.O.A.R. he's continues [...]

Therapist is a three piece indie band with members Suz residing in Phoenix, AZ, and Ant and Marco, both residing in California. They are shouty post-punk dance rock practitioners, and I love that shit. Suz sings with the right amount of snark and snarl and the music is tight and angular. Blake Miller from Moving Units delivers a tasty remix of their single I Know What I Want. Download their new
photos by Ryan Muir Fiona Apple @ Bowery Ballroom - 3/26/2012 "During [the Music Hall of Williamsburg] show Ms. Apple moved between the microphone at center stage and a piano off to the side with an array of votive candles on top. Slender and toned, she wore a green tank top; her muscles spoke loudly as her body moved in precise ways on each song. On "Paper Bag" she held her hand tight against her stomach, muscles flexing, [...]
photos by Amanda Hatfield Fiona Apple @ Music Hall of Williamsburg " Fiona Apple got a warm welcome back to her native city [Friday] night at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. Born in New York City in the fall of 1977, her last live show here dated back to December 2005 [ actually she played NYC in August 2007 ], so fans --most of whom, we're assuming, probably didn't see her performances at SXSW [...]
SxSW 2012 Day 1 And It Begins... One would think that after waking up absurdly early and spending half a day in airports, the energy level of our blogging and photo-taking heroes would be low - but this is Austin and the air here is just a little sweeter this time a year and the music is just plain intoxicating... In what could have been the most perfect Day 1 of SxSW Music ever experienced, we set out into the night... [...]
The Los Angeles musician scores opening slot.
singer songwriter // folk When we first featured Priscilla Ahn back in 2007 , she only had a 5-track, independently released EP available. Since then, she got signed to Blue Note Records, released two full length albums and has had her music featured in a number of films and television shows. And last week, she and Charlie Wadhams released a free EP under the moniker Sweet Hearts . She's been pretty busy! Priscilla was nice enough to take some time to talk with us about making When You Grow Up and played [...]
Forever , the new three-track EP from the Los Angeles sisters known as HAIM , has been releasing some seriously funky Kate Bush vibes into the atmosphere of late. Danielle, Este, and Alana Haim gracefully step from layers of jumpy R&B flavored harmonies on opener "Better Off" to the sensual call-and-response burn of "Go Slow" and the epic closer and title-track, "Forever"—a sharp and masterful cut of bass-driven grooves and dance floor candy. "Forever" is a song you can't just play once. In fact, it's hard to stop playing. That handclap and synth breakdown near the 3:20 mark? Hips [...]

Full of mature, breezy coffehouse tunes interwoven with mellow instrumental passages, Prologue shows The Milk Carton Kids to be a terrific folk and blues duo, a basic pair of witty storytellers, and-in the murky visions of these talented two, the album never feels the least bit cluttered. Whether in a tantalizing upper harmonies that recalls CSNY or their sandy-throated midrange, there's not a weak moment on this dark-horse gem of an album. Which by the way is free via their website . You can catch The Milk Carton Kids tomorrow (Jan. 17th) at [...]
I hope that in making this I jinx the mild 40 degree weather and we can finally get some snow. But for the time being, it looks like this is the winter global warming made. I like my seasons to be distinct, thank you very much. I've come to expect winter mixes to be sparse, pretty, and down tempo. As I made my own, I realized it was more in tune with my restless temperament and the current weather than that gorgeous silence a fresh snowfall brings. Hope you enjoy it, whatever the weather may be. [...]

![[MP3] Blake Mills: “Wintersong 221;](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3965560_lg.jpg)
It's cold outside and I am digitally drowning in post-holidaze ridiculousness, but I've been playing the hell out of Blake Mills' "Wintersong". Released in 2010, his LP Break Mirrors is one I've only really gotten into the past few months. I don't know why my ears (and the rest of my head) were in the sand in 2010 when it came to his acoustic, well-layered deliciousness but this late bird just found a perfectly preserved sonic worm worth consuming.
