[Photo: Dirk Mai] "Opus Label One" is the first compilation by Opus , a Los Angeles-based record label run by Miguel Angel Jiménez and Jeremy Wineberg. This blissful and electro-pop compilation collects 12 tracks by Matt Van Schie, Boat Club, Jupiter, Second Date, Joywave, Jolie Cherie and more. It also features an 8-page black-and-white booklet inspired by the tracks by renowned photographer Dirk Mai. We really like this compilation. It brings back a lot of good memories...

Much of the nation, most especially the mid-west and the south, have been trapped under a dome of extreme heat for the past month or so, while the Northeast has been dipping in and out of excessive temperatures for weeks. Here in the west, we've had a mild summer with below average temperatures for most [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
Source unknown This tape is dedicated to my bicycle which so casually threw me from its saddle the other day. I wish I knew why, but a bike you see cannot express its emotions. I will never know if it hurled me off in a rage like no other, cast me aside in a moment of self-centered crisis, or was merely implying that it was time to restructure my face and firm contact with tarmac was a far more cost-effective means than surgery. Needless to say, [...]

Categories and names would claim all this to some sort of interestingly strange indietronica. Boat Club are proudly different to any other form of 'Club' that we'd recognise on the surface of popular indie music. As often happens with this band, the beat and bass purposely moves about like Digitalism and the electric guitar skips around it all - rather like a dog running around it's human on a walk in the fields. The guy's english accent is second-rate, but I don't think he really cares... Boat Club (Sweeds) - Memories The Papertiger Sound are [...]
One of Sweden's premiere electronic-pop acts releases their first full-length album in four years. With both infectious and atmospheric moments, its inconsistency issues are overshadowed by several gems.
how do you feel about the recent influx of dream-pop? do you find it boring? do you think it all sounds the same? is it the new form of emo expressionism? is 'dream-pop' a dumb buzz word? hmmmmm.. it might not come as news for you, but i for one am particularly enjoying it.. the craft, subtlety and talent evident in the raft of dreamy pop groups is music to my ears. i do sometimes worry when i see other people not getting into it, because i feel like my love for this genre is reflective of [...]
Photos/illustration by David Greenwald Dear Friends, It is with great joy, pride and excitement that I present to you this week The Rawking Refuses To Stop! 's Top 100 Albums of the Decade. In 1998, with Natalie Imbruglia's "Torn" atop the VH1 music video charts, I began taking music seriously. (I also became a man. Ask my rabbi.) In 2002, my first pieces of music criticism - and my first year-end list - were published. To say things have changed tremendously since then [...]

Whoa, two More Music Mondays in a row! This hasn't happened in a while. Anyway... LA's Rainbow Arabia , like it seems much of the music I'm listening to nowadays, contains a hint of that tribal element that is coming back into style nowadays, although it is significantly less pop than some of the other bands around. The Echo Park (married) duo played at CMJ this year at the Cake Shop where I, as a friend of mine pointed out, ironically went to NY [...]

Some real nice vibes from Sweden for you all. Boat Club - Caught The Breeze
Não é novidade, saiu no começo do ano. Mas não "hypou" e não pode deixar de ser ouvido pois, como disse um amigo meu, trata-se de uma "boa surpresa". Engraçado que o título do primeiro EP é "Caught the breeze", sendo que o disco clássico do Slowdive, do clipe acima, chama-se "Catch the breeze". Enfim... influência direta. São suecos como o pessoal do Radio Dept . MySpace [...]
