A 12-track sampler of the best stuff Slumberland Records has had to offer in 2011, stretching from the new Brilliant Colors album to the LP Crystal Stilts dropped back in April. Enjoy!

I've known this project was in the works for some time, and I'm super excited to bring you all new tunes from one of my most beloved bands, Comet Gain . You'll find this new tune, as well as twelve others, on their latest effort, Howl of the Lonely Crowd, which will be released in the US on October 4th by the incredible folks over at What's Your Rupture . In my mind, this is one of the most under-appreciated bands in the whole [...]
NYC-based moody lo-fi band Crystal Stilts has a new cool video for their single, "Shake the Shackles". The track was released in October via Slumberland/ Fortuna Pop! Crystal Stilts are letting a mysterious atmosphere slip in their EP In Love With Oblivion, and the song and accompanying video "Shake the Shackles" are no different. The [...]
The Rozzes are a very young band with an extra dose of talent and vigor, similar in mold to recent youthful power-pop successes like Cloud Nothings. Similarly, they possess a musical intellect that presents talent well beyond their years. They are a band to watch closely as they develop into stars. Even if comparisons to [...]

He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg. Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor. Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you. (It's a summer jam, of sorts.) [ mix cover image by Marcus Claesson ] July 2011 Mix [...]

Tweet I'm pretty sure that for most of the time I am not a Crystal Stilts fan. I know this because I've a bruised big finger from pressing delete about 22 seconds into each of their songs. Makes it quite the X-Files moment thusly that 'Sycamore Tree' has somehow catapulted itself beyond the acorn stage. Perhaps its because it sounds like Tarantino's Joy Division cover band, but probably not. It also reminds me of the Jon Spencer Blue Explosion, an act I patently failed to acquire any liking for despite [...]

In my opinion, there's only one festival that would be seriously worth my time this summer, and that's the Indietracks Festival in Derbyshire this July. Unfortunately, I can't quite afford the trip, but I can enjoy this great compilation you can grab too put out by Make Do and Mend Records . It's like the best sampler ever, with 40 jams, some exclusive, from some of the best bands around, including those I've admired on there here pages, like Milky Wimpshake , Crystal Stilts , and [...]
Crystal Stilts - Shake the Shackles from Army Of Kids on Vimeo . I'm thinking there are too many bands with the word "Crystal" in their name. Certainly, Crystal Castles are quite popular, and then we have Crystal Fighters, The Crystal Method, Crystal Gayle... and that might hurt other Crystal-named bands. Enjoy some Crystal Stilts .
Here are Crystal Stilts with a video for "Shake The Shackles" from their album In Love With Oblivion . Check out the album version of the track below.

Brooklyn quartet Crystal Stilts, received much acclaim with the release of Alight of Night back in '09. While their debut sounded a little rough and slightly unfinished we were unknowingly witnessing the blossoming of what became a lo-fi garage rock revival. This time they have a much better grasp on what works for them and along with [...]

The Chicken gets pretty prolific and we have been shuffling and clucking about a lot of rad new music as of late. If you are not a daily driver of SC for some odd reason (better get on your RSS game son! haha) you may have mistowt on some aural gemmy jams. Fret not! Here is a smattering of some of what we have been reppin' in a nice tidy package and some handy dandy links after the jump to dig deeper when it catches your fancy.We kept it to ten cuts , but it easily could have been 400..haha [...]
It's June, so it must mean it's time for the obligatory Indietracks compilation album. Sadly this year it won't be released on CD in an attempt to reduce costs, meaning you'll have to burn your own discs for the long drive up. On the other hand, as it's a download only, you can pay whatever you like for it with all proceeds going to the lovely Midland Railway Centre . Every year they put up with us descending on them, so it's nice to be able to give them a little something back. [...]
Male Bonding will release their second full-length album, Endless Now , on August 30 in the U.S. via Sub Pop. The 11-track album also features Frankie Rose of Vivian Girls and Crystal Stilts , and was produced by John Angelo (Sonic Youth). Preview the first single "Bones" here. Tour dates have not yet been announced, but the band is playing with Weezer on July 6 in London. We caught up with the English band, who hipped us to another of their creations, the vaguely-sexual-but-definitely- not "whinger." Spread the word. [...]
