With another February comes yet another Groundhog Day where the groundhog does in fact see his shadow and we are doomed yet again to six more weeks of winter. Since you're inevitably going to be staying inside, why not get cozy and settle into the weekend with some free tunes? ...
We thought Treefort's initial line-up announcement gave enough compelling reasons to make the road trip to Boise. But the upstart music fest has made four more line-up announcements since then giving us even more reasons to be planning a visit to Idaho. In addition to Pickwick, Lemolo, Built to Spill, Of Monteral and WHY? the [...]
Brooklyn experimental pop outfit Dinosaur Feathers released its debut LP, Fantasy Memorial , in 2009. At the time, the album's tropical vibe and sunny instrumentation were right at home amongst similar-sounding acts also on the rise. Since then, the group has toured relentlessly and reconfigured their own sensibilities for their latest LP, Whistle Tips , due out April 10th via Ernest Jenning. According to press for the LP, the band haven't left the beach-esque sound behind entirely. Rather, they've infused it with influences from The Soft Boys, The Olivia Tremor Control, XTC, and Paul [...]

Last Friday, the Bowery Ballroom played host to an eclectic mix of excitable fans who gathered to bask in the pop vocals and electro beats of Will Wiesenfeld as Baths. Will, who has also released tracks under the Geotic and [Post-Foetus] monikers, has become just as well known for his affable onstage banter and humble regard for fans as for his high energy shows, and this night was no exception. First up was musician and producer Joel Burleson's Ki:Theory. Embodying cut-n-paste music at its best, Ki:Theory's original songs [...]
MUTEMATH's highly energized, blues-infused set painted the picture of what Florida's DeLuna Festival has begun to look like. In support of their new album, Odd Soul , the New Orleans quartet took the stage late Sunday evening with a sharp look and a new member, smiling throughout each song and filling the Sunshine State's cooling air with their signature sound. Hard hitting, head nodding tracks like "Odd Soul" and "Blood Pressure" moved the Pensacola crowd, who continued to dance barefoot in the sand as the sun took flight. It wasn't Linkin Park - the festival's final headliner [...]

Sorry thought that it needed to be said. Anyways here's a few songs: . Phineas and the Lonely Leaves- The Feeling . [...]
Day two of Sled Island began auspiciously for me. There weren't any bands in particular that I was dying to see so I was essentially open to anything. My friend recommended Zola Jesus, so I made my way to Central United Church (the venue I missed getting into on day one). Pierre Laporte was just finishing up when I entered the venue. I couldn't really get a handle on their music from the one song I heard but the kids seemed to enjoy it. There were a group of guys crowded around the front of the stage, clumsily [...]
Þá er komið að því að taka stöðuna á tónlistarmenningunni handan hafsins mikla. Þar er alltaf eitthvað forvitnilegt að finna í jaðrinum sem ratar ekki oft til eyrna tónlistarunnenda hérlendis og því um að gera að birta það lesendum Rjómans hér. Þetta er að sjálfsögðu allt saman eðal stöff sem allir ættu að geta unað vel við. Hospital Ships - Love or Death Tekið af plötunni Lonely Ships .

Tweet Every so often a song comes along that's so infectious, so all-consuming that I just can't get it out of my head. That's a good thing, right? It took one listen for Dinosaur Feathers' new track 'Please Please George" to draw me in, and I found myself playing it over and over again. And why not? It's a perfect storm of sonic touchstones: Beach Boys inspired harmonies, a beat that shimmies and sways like a golden-era 45, and a skronky guitar freakout that wouldn't be out of [...]

Three Monday-Tuesday-who-can-tell-th e-difference-these-days reasons to, just for the heck of it, hit up Schubas tonight... 1. Because it's going to get weird, that's why. Oh, you never asked why? Well, that's how weird it is going to get, see. Denver's Woodsman call themselves post-psychedelic. I can dig, I guess. What they do is to slowly build layer upon layer of sounds from guitars to loops over dual percussionists until your head is swirling. Not sure where the "post" comes in, but none the less [...]
I may be a bit late to the party on Dinosaur Feathers , the band made rounds on the blogs last year, but ever since downloading their brand new single this weekend I've been hooked on the shockingly fresh indie pop band from Brooklyn. The band grabs from a number of different styles so I think it's pretty safe to say that if you dig any type of melody-based music from the past 50 years or so you can get into this. For me, their tunes evoke stuff like Bishop Allen, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, early of [...]
