As summer begins to melt away like a brilliant setting sun, the weather will soon turn more brisk, the leaves on the trees will die a flashy, colorful death and the air will become more crisp. The first week of September is a seminal time of the year - millions of kids are back in [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
This is called the Tapecast because last night, for the first time in about ten years, I made a mixtape. Because of the van having a tape player there is actually a point to making these bloody things now, so we got hammered and listened to records all night (again), only this time I recorded them all onto a C-90! There is something so stupidly fascinating about making tapes in the first place, but there is certainly something surreal in resurrecting what genuinely was dead technology. It is far from easy to actually buy blank tapes these days. [...]

So in what will hopefully be a regular feature here are some of the most interesting bits that have been sent through to us over the last week. Shout Out Louds - Fall Hard (Passion Pit Remix) A tempting taster for the Swedish group's upcoming third LP, Merge , due out February 23 on Merge. Remixed by Jealousy favourites Passion Pit, this is a wonderful, subtle mix - stripping the track back a little, smoothing some of the edges - nothing extravagant or damaging. You can check out [...]
London's Ezequiel Claverie, or Ezequiel Ezequiel , as he calls himself, is a bedroom project of the highest caliber, based out of London. Very little is known about the man, withholding all information from his myspace page , save for a location and a download link to his free EP, Winter Rise . Ezequiel Ezequiel 's music soars with tiniest of details, often comfortable and seductive in its technique. Haunting numbers like "Raise the Dead" and "Up From the Mountain" are effortlessly constructed and work like a gentle touch on [...]
Tiden var egentligen kommen för mig att gå till sängs så här dags, efter ett tolvtimmarspass i skolan och med bara en skruttig sallad i magen, men ett mail från Ezequiel Claverie kom att ändra min uppfattning om sömnbehov och sådant trams. Han har nyligen, under namnet ezequiel ezequiel , släppt en debut-EP kallad Winter rise som han ger bort gratis! Och som ni alltså förstår så är det i mina sömndruckna ögon - och öron såklart - så himla bra att jag tänker stanna uppe en kvart eller två till och lyssna på lite folk/elektro/ambient-grejs. Nu [...]
