Culminamos homenaje a "Nevermind", el crucial segundo álbum de Nirvana, escuchando las versiones correspondientes a la cara B. Nos acompañaron en el estudio Boat Beam, Nothink y J.F. Sebastian y hablamos por telefono con Maga y The New Raemon. Gracias al talento y generosidad de todos los implicados, disfrutamos de media docena de canciones sin desperdicio y pudimos recordar el impacto que la música del trío norteamericano causó en muchas personas. Lo hemos pasao pipa organizando este tinglao. Y esperamos que quienes escuchen estos programas –tan especiales para nosotros– también se den por aludidos. LA ISLA DE [...]
El resultado de la iniciativa –promovida y coordinada por el programa de radio La Isla de Encanta –, podrá escucharse en dos entregas, que se emitirán durante las dos primeras semanas de octubre a través de los canales habituales: Radio Círculo (100.4 FM Madrid y www.radiocirculo.es ), Bi FM Radio (92.9 FM Vizcaya y www.bifmradio.com ) y Scanner FM ( www.scannerfm.com ). Los músicos implicados en estos dos programas-homenaje han [...]
Simple y sencillamente Boat Beam es de esas bandas que deben venir a México. Con un pop que raya en el folk, este trío español del cual ya les hemos hablado se encuentra promocionando Reincarnation, su más reciente disco, del cual se desprende “Sirens”. Este [...]

Boat Beam estrenó el video de "Sirens", sencillo incluido en su nuevo disco "Reincarnation" (el segundo en su corta trayectoria), el cual es todo un homenaje al gran Alfred Hitchcock , con tomas muy al estilo de "La Ventana Indiscreta" y "La Soga". ¿Conoces a esta banda integrada por la australiana Josephine Ayling, la estadounidense Alisha Buttke y la española Aurora Aroca? Pues este grupo está demostrando que también se puede hacer pop a base de instrumentos de cuerda. Acá su nuevo video: Sirens | BOAT BEAM from ORIGAMI RECORDS [...]

Boat Beam , es decir, Aurora, Alisha y Josephine, volvieron a ponerse comodas en las hamacas para presentarnos "Reincarnation", su segundo álbum. Como en su anterior visita al programa , lograrón salvar del naufragio chelo, viola y guitarra e interpretaron dos canciones en Achique Session . Charlamos sobre su nuevo disco, lo conciertos pasados y los que están por venir. Volvimos a pasar un rato encantador en su compañia. Escuchen y comprueben. [...]
Si alguna vez se han preguntado el por qué amar Internet, les responderé con pura experiencia. Hace algunos, cuando eso del MySpace era la onda y saltabas de un perfil a otro escuchando puras propuestas nuevas, llegué a una que llamó mi atención, una banda formada por tres hermosas chicas, una originaria de Australia, otra [...]

I'll admit it. We fell into the same trap that every magazine and blog on the planet did. The self-indulgent, we-know-what-you-should-like-b etter-than-you-do Best Albums of 2010 list. Here at TDOA headquarters, we'd like to think that we've given you some names that weren't familiar and provided you with some surprises. But at the end of the day, who better to assess the state of music than the musicians themselves? So, we reached out to every band that we interviewed in 2010 and asked them to give us their favorite albums of the year. [...]

Just a glimpse at some of the madness taking place in Austin, Texas at SXSW next week in terms of bands and parties. I'll be covering what I see there right here next week. Some MP3s from the official SXSW of bands on my hitlist: Brahms - Toward The Ghost Boat Beam - The Rain Pauly Everything Everything - My Keys, Your Boyfriend Freelance Whales - Generator 2nd Floor Lissie - [...]

And so it begins. Every year, we listen to mp3's of every band scheduled to appear at SXSW. We then present you with an A to Z preview of the bands that we think should earn your attention. Whether you're coming down to SXSW (recommended!) or just looking for new music, there's no better time of year. There's a variety of music here, so buckle up for some different sounds. We'll be previewing two letters per day, which'll take us right up to SXSW Music Week. Then we'll give you our picks for the [...]

Here's some insight into the wonderful world that we live. While perusing the internet, we came across some great music by a band called Boatlina. While we would have been content to find that this band was a solitary entity, we discovered that it was a collaboration between two bands. Last year, we interviewed the wonderful Boat Beam , who selflessly told us that we need to know more about their partners on the Boatlina project. They told us to expect Havalina to have a huge following in Spain and an amazing sound to their [...]
In the end, we think this was truly a great year for music. We would argue that this was the year of the new band, with 75% of our top 20 consisting of debut albums. As we started going through this list, we recognized that we'd interviewed many of the bands listed. As you know, based on our refusal to accept advertising, we've been adamant in our refusal to be influenced by labels, promoters, etc.. Frankly, when we heard some of these albums, we were on the phone trying to track the bands down for an [...]

Canadian hip hop and Spanish indie rock, all in one week?! Yes, we're asking you to open your minds, but we're rewarding you with exquisite treats. Spain's Boat Beam first came to our attention due to a collaboration they did with another great Spanish band called Havalina. The real treat came when we listened to their debut record, Puzzle Shapes. Beautiful female vocals wrapped around a deluge of sounds and instruments that come together to create brilliant quirky, pop songs. This is how pop should sound in our world. Josephine from Boat Beam took [...]
After their amazing track The Rain Pauly Boat Beam is back with another gentle belle called Falling Over , that's clip you can check above, realized by Kaline Vutova and Gonzalo Lopez Gallego.

Indiecision Check Out act Boat Beam impressed us immensely with their debut album Puzzle Shapes (check out the single 'The Rain Pauly' on our music player). The project of Josephine Ayling (Australia), Aurora Aroca (Spain) and Alisha Buttke (US), Boat Beam call Spain home and and paint beautiful pictures with strings and Fiona Apple-esque pop sensibilities. We caught up with the band to talk about being sisters, musical influences and puzzles. Q1. How did the band come together? We were [...]
