This is has to be one of the thinnest weeks this year for new releases by so-called 'big' named artists, with the exception of Silver Jews and Fiona Apple. In fact, Apple released her first album in seven years this week. Plus, listen to notable singles from new releases by Orca Team, Glen Hansard, White [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
A Fiona Apple album is a rare thing, both for its scarcity - this is her first album in seven years - and for the quality of art pop that her contemporaries just seem unable to match. Today sees the release of The Idler Wheel , short for a title longer than this sentence. Fans couldn't be more thrilled , nor apparently the critics, who are lining up to praise it . No doubt it will top the stacks of most KEXP listeners' shopping carts this week. Other new releases worth checking out this week include [...]

Efren's new album is somewhat of a departure from previous releases, mining a rich seam of raw, bruising southern rock inspired by the bitterness a marriage break-up can bring. The second track to be released from Write A New Song is If My Heart Don't Fail Me and is another excellent example of barrelling bar-room boogie and another hymn to the redemptive powers of hard liquor. Write A New Song is officially released today. Order it here . Download Efren - If My Heart Don't Fail Me mp3 [...]
Efren's bold blend of Americana, rock and folk with psych overtones has long been a favourite on MM since we discovered their Always A Bleeder EP back in 2010. Since then we have had the great pleasure of acquainting ourselves with their debut album Rise On Up And Melt which saw a release last summer and now they are back with a new album Write A New Song . The title appears prophetic because this time Efren have thrown off the shackles and stomped out the campfire with nary a [...]

We've already given you two excellent tracks from psych-folkies Efren's new album, Rise On Up And Melt . Now we have a third, and this time it is the seven minute mini-epic of Mr Greene . Efren is led by Scott Low who fell into a dark marital separation as the record was being recorded. A new outlook on the album came about. Though not the original intention, Rise On Up And Melt became a songwriter’s story of lost faith in love and trust. Get a copy [...]

By Matt Jarrard Efren's new LP Rise On Up and Melt is a clear sign the Athens based band has found its footing. Evident in these 10 tracks is the over 100 dates that the band has spent on the road since releasing their EP Al w ays Been A Bleeder just last year. Also evident is the marital strife front man/songwriter Scott [...]

Memorial Day is meant to be the holiday in which we do without the grand gestures associated with other holidays, like stuffing our faces, decorating our homes and yards with over-sized representations of capitalist deities like Santa Claus, and exchanging gifts we neither need or want (unless it's a Nintendo 3Ds). But when it comes right down to it, Memorial Day is just another excuse to have a day off in the early dawning of summer and to sleep in and, once more, fill our faces with the dead, burned flesh of animals. If you are the type, however, to [...]
