Os paulistas da Sin Ayuda acabam de lançar seu mais novo trabalho. Boat EP , uma parceria da Popfuzz com o Transfusão Noise Records, foi gravado ao vivo em um sítio no interior do estado de São Paulo. Como resultado, Boat EP traz um som cru, orgânico e, como define uma das faixas, "mais rápido do que uma bala". Escute aqui: Para fazer o download, é só clicar aqui .

Tom Williams & The Boat have been kicking around since 2007 and have recently released their new LP, Teenage Blood . Originally labelled as Nu-Folk back when Noah and Laura were making bigger waves than most, Tom and his band make simple, understated songs, usually built around an acoustic guitar and quintessentially English lyrics. We grabbed a brief chat with Tom to find out how the record has gone down... Good day sir. Let's break the ice...how are you and what did [...]

Zum nun 4. Mal sticht Berlin Beats & Boats diesen Sommer in See, bzw. Fluss. Auf 10 Kähnen wird die Spree runter geschippert und dabei läuft hauptsächlich elektronische Musik.

Der Vorverkauf hat gestern Abend angefangen und wer dabei sein will, sollte sich sputen; die Hälfte der Tickets für den 14. Juli ist nämlich schon weg und einige Dampfer ausverkauft.

Also in town, Band of Skulls and We Are Augustines are at Neptune Theatre, while Andrew Bird is at the Paramount Theatre, and Codeine is at the Sunset. On Tuesday night, Miike Snow and Penguin Prison are at the Paramount, Explosions In The Sky [...]
So originally I was going to post this around the beginning of the new year. Then extreme laziness mind-numbing force known as "life" took over and I couldn't quite finish the task at hand. I had a arbitrary Valentine's Day date set but I quickly decided that there was no reason to post this list [...]
Jangle, country pop/rock is delivered with a yearning, hardwearing vocal tug by the erstwhile Williams and, a haunting string stirred interlude provides for a multi-layered, contemplative effort, 'Teenage Blood'. The skipping chorus will bring this second single that is the title track from forthcoming (16/4/2012) second album, to the attention of commercial radio. The inner-delving on display, will draw in those who like the heart-on-sleeve lyrical approach. 'Flatout Surviving', is a prime example of the pull of stirring acoustic odes. Williams' vocals could do with being a little more expressive, as they and the song tends to feel [...]

Stuarto and I talked a lot just before my show began and in the minutes after it started about the radio station he's been building at his house. He's dubbing it 1020Radio, and you can check out the (right now) super minimalist site he's running over at 1020Radio.net . You can also find it on Facebook . It's been a long time coming; the station is nearing completion and just about to hit the Internets. All goes well, and time permitting, [...]

Oakland producer BOATS has just dropped his new EP , Bleaving , on Dollops Music . It also marks the inaugural release for the similarly Oakland-based label/collective. From the first notes of opening track "Scribe" to the fade out of final track "Fogburns," Bleaving is an immediate blanket for the ears. It's synthed-out beats aren't too dreamy, and it's laid back hooks aren't too calm. Bleaving is the next fresh batch of head-nodding tunes your chill collection needs. Stream the album below, but [...]

CLICK IMAGE TO VIEW VIDEO To mark the launch of the Mikill Pane x Dope Chef collaboration , the aformentioned Mikill Pane dropped this freestyle. Dope Chef is a street concept best known for their clothing line which is FTD and they've come together with Mikill Pane to create an amalgamation of their two signature clothing designs. It's pretty sick; I've gone and pre-ordered a sweat. Can go and jam with Mikill Pane and Dope Chef founder Brian Gathi on the 11th of this month; peep the link I dropped in the article [...]

I waited till 2011 to finalize my albums list - all my lists - partially due to laziness, being busy, the holidays... but mainly because I'm not sure what the hurry is. I don't do this for the web traffic (clearly), so I gave myself a little more time to decide than usual. (And as long as this goes up before the Village Voice' s Pazz n' Jop, I don't feel delinquent.) So here's my list, the top five or so have been a lock for almost half a year, but the rest were in flux right till I [...]

I took a year off from doing a favorite Seattle records list due to lazyitis (sorry Seattle). Here's my top ten records from my fair city for 2011 (sorry Seattle). 1. Seapony - Go With Me ( Hardly Art ) Twee is alive and well in Seattle. Seapony kind of came out of nowhere late last year. They put their debut album out on local label Hardly Art, played countless shows around town and generally put the Northwest back on the map when [...]
