A happy Monday to you! Well to be honest, I don't really know if it will be a great day. It could be snowing where you are. That would be kind of tough, getting to work and all that. But I made this short mix for you today, and I hope you enjoy it. Plushgun - Mixtapes (Original Mix) The Shins - Simple Song Real Estate - Out Of Tune Devon Williams - Sufferer [...]
Vreemd, soms valt het kwartje, bij releases die me eigenlijk zouden moeten bevallen, tóch niet. If By Yes maakt nochtans perfect gearrangeerde Bauereske pop, Sonja van Hamel kan zo meezingen. En dat alles piekfijn geproduceerd, met de luchtige touch van...
9With the release of his sophomore album, "Euphoria," Devon Williams has not had a chance to spend too much time at home in Los Angeles. This fall has seen him touring across the U.S. with Wet Illustrated, gigging in London and opening for Tennis on the West Coast. The latter brought him to LA for a hometown show on December 7th at the Satellite, where he was welcomed with unexpected fanfare. Playing with his 4-piece band, Williams performed a shimmering 9-song set of indie pop tunes, with more than half being from the new album. However, what neither Williams or [...]
Amazingly enough, 2011 has already come and gone, but with it came a slew of glorious, captivating records.

Say what you will about this year versus the [...]

![DEVON WILLIAMS, YOUNG BUFFALO PLAYED GLASSLANDS [PHOTOS]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3913851_lg.jpg)
Young Buffalo (@youngbuffalo) started the night with a rousing set of power pop tunes. Delivering a collection of songs almost in the style of Brian Jonestown Massacre's standout album, Take It From the Man , they drew from past psychedelic rock 'n' roll and contemporary indie rock influences. They energetically banged out both older tracks and new songs from their recently released EP, Baby Demons , such as standout single "Catapilah", a driving indie rock tune with soaring harmonies and psychedelic reverb on the vocals and guitar. Their live performances are well worth seeing and [...]

The temperature is starting to drop again so expect Arc In [...]
Devon Williams - Euphoria MMM Having spent time in Osker (punk) and Lavender Diamond (folky pop), guitarist Devon Williams stepped out on his own with the 2008 release of his debut album, Carefree , which showed the ethos of his former bands through a lens of sharp indie pop. On his sophomore effort, Euphoria , Williams dunks his debut's sound into a pool of chorus-heavy, '80s-indebted indie pop that's vibrant with '60s pop harmonies and lush production. [...]

Your Sympathy - Devon Williams // Buy Revelations - Devon Williams // Buy Devon Williams (@devontwilliams) released his Euphoria LP just as the days began getting a bit shorter and a lot colder, but the vibe is so completely summer-y, that it's difficult to notice. On his first solo full-length since 2008's Carefree , the LA singer/songwriter created a soundscape that sounds a bit like 1970s Beatles on mushrooms (well, double mushrooms). [...]
[ download ] [tweetmeme] After many repeated listens, it all boils down to this: the problem with Devon Williams ' "Your Sympathy" is that when ends after three and a half minutes, you're just going to want to listen to it again. However, further spins only amplify the issue, making you more inclined to want to hear it once more. It's a powerful feedback loop-this song is a mesmerizing enchantress. "Your Sympathy" was first released as the A-side of a single back in late June [...]
MP3: Devon Williams - Revelations Devon Williams "Revelations" Euphoria Slumberland Records 2011 Director: Michael Cullen
Click image to download track Sounds like: The Shins, Sondre Lerche "Devon Williams - Your Sympathy" What's so good? Devon Williams' "Your Sympathy" is the kind of upbeat pop music that's awesome to wake up to in the morning. Williams, a Los Angeles native, blends jingle-jangle guitars with high-pitched, echoing vocals. You would never guess that he once played in a punk band. [...]
If I had to-and I mean, had to-pick one Season as my favorite, it'd be Fall. Why, you ask? Well, why not? The foliage, the fashion, the faint and freckled ending of a Summer filled with love... I know it sounds silly now, but a long walk on the beach would pale in comparison to a tree-lined street, so forget about showing off your ridiculous tan-line and put some warmer clothes on. Let's share this moment of clarity as we finally take our sunglasses off. Yes, it's the end of impulsiveness and the beginning [...]
