In 1980, Bobb Trimble lived in Northborough, Massachusetts, where he constructed a brilliant record full of slow-phased guitar, synth and audio sound effects, upper-register double-tracked vocals, and gorgeous, absolutely stunning melodies. The songcraft may take a few spins to rest comfortably in your head (and this is where this music belongs, deep in your psyche!), but when they take hold Bobby's genius becomes transparent. The sound of Iron Curtain Innocence is straight up timeless and it defies much of the genre categorization I have often thought to be quite simple. Before this record finally saw release [...]

Sitting down tonight to put together this week's edition of The Daily Graboid (a day late, sorry), it dawned on me how close we are to the end of year already. It's hard to believe, but as each chilly night reinforces that fact, the more we'll begin to notice the dwindling amount of good album releases. I'm sure there will be a few gems here and there, but for now the geek in me is focusing on the onslaught of video game releases (hello Super Mario Galaxy , COD4 [...]
Will you be Grizzly Bear's friend too? As the year draws to a close, it becomes more and more evident that the big guns have already fired. While the number of highly anticipated new albums has dropped precipitously - just compare to a month or two ago - there's still plenty of time for the sleepers to ease on in. Grizzly Bear's EP of covers and re-interpretations and Sigur Ros' dual EPs released on one disc will be at the top of the stack for many record buyers, [...]
