The below comprises side A of the Trans-Records ( Walla's own label) release, and a far more upbeat song called "Incredibly Still" by Sombear will occupy the B side. Stream both below.

Everybody and their mother knows that The Postal Service are back. The more important thing, though, is that they will be coming through DC when they play Merriweather Post Pavilion on Tuesday, June 18th. We're giving away a pair of lawn tickets for the show. What do you have to do to win? Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello will be bringing Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis, who recorded guest vocals on a few Give Up tracks, along for the ride. That's about as super as an indie supergroup gets. [...]
This song is still awesome.

Matt Costa: Matt Costa - I realized today while driving through Huntington Beach why Matt Costa felt so familiar. This native Huntington Beach Californian knows what he’s doing with a guitar and harmonica. He knows how to get into our minds with a tune that will stick there for days on end! He grips his listeners with the exact amount of passion. Mix that with the summertime culture feel, and he gives you that beachy, west coast atmosphere even if you’re no where near it. Another reason he should seem familiar is because [...]

Everybody and their momma got a chance to audition for The Postal Service. I'm a weird genius, shit, where's my time to shine Mr. Sub Pop, why didn't you call L.A. RECORD's office? Here's all the talent right here! I'll take my shirt off and swing it around on stage while Jimmy Tamborello does the beep beep bop boop ting ting. —Daiana Feuer
Last week we were served some J-Hud diva realness on Smash , so we’ll let them slide over the fact that this week’s episode was entirely Hudsonless. Yes, there were a few Ronnie ( Jennifer Hudson ) mentions sprinkled throughout the hour (lest we forget her — never!), but last night was all about introducing some comedy into the proceedings and letting Katharine McPhee back in the spotlight to flex her vocals and look gorgeous (both of which she does rather effortlessly, we must admit). She may not have the star power of that other [...]

Lake Michigan , a lo-fi acoustic solo project equipped with disarmingly honest lyrics have released their debut self-titled album. Chris Marks, inspired by the hushed and melodic sounds of Death Cab For Cutie and American Football , recorded, mixed, and mastered this release by himself. This collection of nine slow and sad tracks accurately touches on the themes of adolescent ontology. The album is available to purchase from Wolf Town DIY as a CD and also you can stream it below from Bandcamp .

This week's band should be pretty darn new still for most people as Atlas Genius has only been around for a couple of years now. After dropping their first single in May of 2011 and releasing an EP last summer, today's release of When It Was Now stands to be their first full length album. Exciting isn't it? After listening through it a couple of times now, I'm definitely catching some good vibes from these guys and am happy to pass that along to some eager ears. This group of Aussies has vocal similarities to Local Natives and the musical [...]
Love has a course. Most of the time that course ends with heartbreak. I'm not being cynical... Think about it: You are going to try and find that special someone, you probably aren't going to get it right the first few times (at least). When you do finally find them, you're are going to want to hold onto them for eternity. This playlist features songs that chronicle nearly every stage of that search, including its resolve - finding that special someone. Enjoy.

![DOG & PANTHER SHARE ‘BAY BEE’, FROM SOPHOMORE ALBUM [STREAM]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4756551_lg.jpg)
With their 2010 debut album, What Happened , Michigan band Dog & Panther captured our attention and showed us the sort of magic that they're capable of creating. Their knack for expressing innate emotions, in particular love and fear, in songs "Love Make" and "Else" took me by complete surprise. Drawing inspiration from artists like Death Cab for Cutie and Sigur Rós , Dog & Panther blends smooth-as-molasses vocals with intricate, electronically-effected instrumentation in a very original way. After three long years, the [...]
