The Best Albums: 01. The Tough Shits - S/T // Burger Records I've got nothing against The Japandroids, but I don't necessarily get all The Replacements comparisons. It wasn't loud messy guitars and anthemic choruses that made us fall for the Minneapolis band. The Mats were obnoxious dicks who purposely bombed shows just for the hell of it. Westerberg and company were hopeless underdogs with a comically poetic and always relatable sense of what it meant to be a kid, a loser, and just human. [...]

Leave it to Johnny Jewel and his Italians Do It Better label to leave their fans mystified. On Monday, the elusive mastermind behind Chromatics and Desire mysteriously issued a second installment of his Black & White art book ( Black & White 1 was released in 2010.) The collection features hand-drawn sketches juxtaposed against the band's respective lyrics, with a greater focus on Chromatics' latest CoS Top Star-earning LP, Kill for Love . While there's no physical release date set, fans [...]
Chromatics + Desire have released a gorgeous black & white artbook, featuring the above images + any many more.

Neon Indian June 6, 2012 By Robert Freeman Although the early 21 st Century has been dominated by musical nostalgia and a re-hashing of the past, there has also been a trend in electronic music of digging up the future of the past – artists like Chromatics and Neon Indian embody a kind of ‘retro-futurism’, a mixture of times and tenses, a vision of the future from the viewpoint of the not-too-distant past. The Village Underground, appropriately, [...]
Ogni generazione è ossessionata dal proprio lascito, ma per quella nata a cavallo tra gli anni Ottanta e Novanta le cose si sono messe male dal principio: una volta raggiunta la maggiore età, ci siamo persi dietro a complessini nu new wave che non susciteranno mai alcuna forma di venerazione storica. Messe da parte le cravatte strette e le Chucks, da qualche anno ci stiamo provando con Beach House , Grimes e "Hurry Up We Are Dreaming" che nelle aspirazioni degli M83 doveva essere una specie di testamento: il riciclo post-punk è stato un abbaglio, [...]

Compiling a "best of anything" list is such a subjective effort. It's human nature to want to compare things, rank and file them, and then argue relentlessly over the findings, defending a position vehemently as you try to convince your friend why one single from your favorite band is better than some other single from their favorite band. It's a timeless debate, and one that usually leads to nothing but dead ends and blood-spilling. As much as we'd love to imagine our readers quarreling with one another over what the best songs of the year have been so [...]
Grimes Forbidden Fruit Photo by Paulo Gonçalves. If there's anything this weekend reminded me, it's when it comes to festivals, you don't have to travel to get the experience. With Bloom in the Park taking up a large space in the Phoenix Park to Forbidden Fruit in the Royal Hospital Gardens in Kilmainham, the green west part of the city was home to many more people's weekends than normal, an encouraging display of the sentiment that the city is there for us to use.

Only got round to listening to the lastest Chromatics offering this week, as you can imagine it's right up our alley. They bring their signature haunting 80s analog sound to the next level on this record over 17 tracks. Amazing stripped down minimalism, letting the fuzz breath and the vocals chill, check-it!

Chromatics: Drumless
Given Kill for Love 's aim of being a soundtrack to a theoretical movie, Drumless comes across more as a version of Kill for Love that's been censored and edited for basic cable television. The online music press has been heaping a staggering amount of adoration upon Chromatics' fourth release, Kill for Love. For the most part this obscene reverence has heightened the album to best of 2012 buzz, but some reviews, such as one appearing on British music site Drowned in Sound, have touted Kill for Love's first few tracks as some of [...]

Into the black
Se sei in mezzo al periodo più carico di lavoro della tua vita, finisci per trovarti in situazioni un po' strane. Tipo essere in ufficio da solo un lunedì sera d'Estate, con l'aria condizionata a palla mentre fuori ci sono trenta gradi, gli amici ti mandano messaggi chiedendoti se vai a fare l'aperitivo fuori e tu rispondi solo "NO" perchè tanto lo sanno che non hai tempo di essere più prolisso. Come l'intenso rapporto telefonico con la tizia della pizzeria d'asporto, che ogni votla che sente il nome dell'ufficio di sera sembra sinceramente dispiaciuta per il fatto che tu debba [...]

Introducing: Chevalier Avant Garde
The folks of electro group Austra sure do have a way of picking fantastic support acts to come along with them on their tours. First they went and recruited Kool Thing , and now they're back touring Europe with Montréal-based, minimal synth-waving retrofuturists, Chevalier Avant Garde . That's a lot of obscure genre-dropping in one long-ass run-on sentence. Formerly known as Postcards, Chevalier Avant Garde hosts a rotating line-up of collaborators with Dimitri (vocals) and Filip (guitar) remaining the permanent [...]
