Facebook Having only gotten around to discovering the genius of LCD Soundsystem with their third and final album This Is Happening , I feel immensely fortunate to have caught them live twice on their farewell tour - their final Toronto show in May 2010 and then in Chicago headlining that year's Pitchfork Festival - probably more than someone as late to the part as I deserved. But watching Shut Up And Play The Hits , the concert documentary covering their [...]

We envy you. When you go into your favorite record store today or hop online to your trusted music merchant, you are about to buy your favorite album of the year. Or one of them, anyway... there's a lot of competition this fall! Purity Ring , though, the Halifax/Montreal-based duo, have finally released their full-length debut, which our Music Director, Don Yates, calls "a remarkable album of beat-driven electro-pop, blending elements of atmospheric dream-pop with modern hip hop and R&B on lush, sharply executed songs combining sparkling and warped synths, cavernous hip hop beats, sugary melodies, ethereal, occasionally auto-tuned [...]

Here are a few MP3s of songs from some of the better albums released this week: Eternal Summers – “Millions” from Correct Behavior Fang Island – “Sisterly” and “Asunder” from Major Mozella – “Another You” from The Brian Holland Sessions...
Here's to a kick-ass (Eternal) summer... Kanine, 2012 8.5/ 10.0 Eternal Summers’ music has been bouncing around in my brain for a couple of years now. While I don’t want or need to rehash the cautious optimism I’ve had for Eternal Summers until now, the band has exhibited occasional flashes [...]
Score one for the indie kids this week! It's a strong showing for independent labels this week. Starting things off, we've got Juiceboxxx 's I Don't Want to Go Into the Darkness (pictured), which is so indie it's on Juiceboxxx's own Thunder Zone label. Also look out for Eternal Summers 's Correct Behavior on Kanine, Family Band 's Grace and Lies on No Quarter, and Foxygen 's Take the Kids Off Broadway on Jagjaguwar. Also, Eric Copeland (one half of Black Dice ) has a [...]
Eternal Summers is a local band for me and also not one, at the same time. Strange statement, you say? Well, I spent the first 20 years of my life in a small one horse town an hour or two away from a couple "bigger" towns. One was Roanoke, VA - that's where Eternal Summers is from. They are the only "local" band I've ever known that isn't in the country music spectrum to have national recognition. I don't actually live there anymore, but they are still only a handful of hours away. "You Kill" is beautiful pop [...]
On Eternal Summers' debut LP, Silver , the Virginia duo managed to master both hard-edged post-punk and lush dream-pop. With their second album, Correct Behavior , the newly expanded trio synthesizes the two disparate genres yet again with overwhelmingly positive results. As a re-introduction, the band's first tracks spotlight both their poppier and darker, more experimental tendencies. Representing the former, "I Love You" bubbles with dream-pop's essentials. The guitar's high-energy chug and the walls of "ohh" and "aww" vocal harmonies lend an ethereal atmosphere and deep beauty to an underlying simple, [...]
Eternal Summers have their new album 'Correct Behaviour' out this week and it contains this excellent piece of powerpop called 'You Kill'.
Listening to Eternal Summers new LP Correct Behavior harkens me back to my angsty teen years of the late ‘80s at Shermer High - oh wait, no, that was Molly Ringwald. Shoot. Well if I was old enough to have experienced high school circa The Breakfast Club, I’m pretty sure that Eternal Summers would bring up some pretty fabulous memories of teasing my hair for the big house party or dancing around my room pretending the secret cabbage patch doll I owned was really Judd Nelson. Back July 24th with [...]
The members of Eternal Summers are truly superhuman. According to their Facebook bio, Nicole was born inside a volcano, Daniel inside a tree, and Jonathan in a cat's mouth. But surprisingly, that's not the only thing that makes them superhuman. Even after their guitar was stolen mid-tour; after recording 17 ...
Happy Friday, Freeloaders! This week we have a lot of free stuff for you, so get excited! You can stream tracks by Sixpence None The Richer and Menomena.

When they were planning their first full-length as a four-piece, Philly’s Bleeding Rainbow drew up a pie chart. It had healthy slices of Sonic Youth and Wipers, a sliver of avant-garde composer Glenn Branca, and about a three-quarters heaping of My Bloody Valentine. Band founders Rob Garcia and Sarah Everton meant it as a guide, ... Continue reading

Eternal Summers have grown in size and sound on their sophomore record. On Correct Behavior , the duo of Nicole Yun and Daniel Cundiff are now reaching the lower notes thanks to new addition, bassist Jonathan Woods. The shift in dynamics certainly brings the three-piece closer to their influences: The Sundays, Smashing Pumpkins (when they were good) and Yo La Tengo feel like guiding spirits here. So while the group’s debut, Silver , wasn’t exactly groundbreaking, I liked its indie aesthetics, post-punk edges and delivery of trebly pop. But I think I prefer what’s filling [...]
Eternal Summers put up an advance album stream of their sophomore album, Correct Behavior, out July 24th on Kanine Records. The LP find the band exploring a more full sound that can be attributed to the addition of a third member, Jonathan Woods. The result is what the band has coined as "dream-punk" that falls somewhere between the The Go Go's and Dum Dum Girls. It makes for a very strong offering for the Viriginia trio. Listen below. MP3 : Eternal Summers - You [...]
