Firekites - Autumn Story Some slow-turning nostalgia sir? Firekites - Newcastle based, (that's the Aussie one folks) four-piece lo-fi strummers. This track's their most well-known from their debut album The Bowery . With ties to The Herd, Josh Pyke and signed to a label that's seen artists come and go like Arcade Fire, Bat for Lashes, Sufjan Stevens and Spoon - you better pay attention. Download here .

Electric President -S/T Representing Jacksonville, Florida Ben Cooper and Alex Kane are creators of the softly electric indie pop duo Electric President . Their first album S/T is considered one of the greatest collections of electronica songs from this decade with amazing playful soft songs like Insomnia and Ten Thousand Lines. There music sounds like The Postal Service, Styrofoam and Anticon's cLOUDDEAD. Electric President - Insomnia Download audio file (02 Insomnia.mp3) Electric President - Ten [...]

( Let me know what you think of this song by leaving a comment.) To your dismay, the couple you follow on your favorite TV drama has a nasty blowup over infidelity. In a dress by Vera Wang, the distraught woman sobs alone in her dark apartment with her back against the bedroom door. Her scorned lover races off in his 2010 Camaro. He shakes his head in disbelief about the betrayal and then suddenly punches the dash. In my view, the song, "Ambulance," by Eisley on the new EP, "Fire Kite," was born [...]

Je hebt van die bands die een beetje boven het maaiveld lijken te zweven. Hun muziek is zo vederlicht dat musiceren ze bijna geen moeite lijkt te kosten. Althans, dat gevoel krijg ik erbij. Een voorbeeld hiervan is een band...

I had intended on reviewing Firekites' album The Bowery a while ago, but I guess it never got past the point of being just a draft. I liked what I wrote, but I think I'll just scrap that draft and write up a quick one that gets right to the point. Firekites' album The Bowery was released in 2008, so I'm in no way claiming to be on top of things here, but if most of you are like me, then you've never heard of them to start with. And that's a shame and the very [...]

From the album The Bowery Named after the abandoned dance hall in which it was recorded, The Bowery is a breath-taking debut album for Australian musical collective, Firekites. Formed in 2005 by Tim McPhee and Rod Smith, the band has blossomed organically, growing into an absorbing and popular live act that has shared the stage with Built To Spill, Iron & Wine, The Sea and Cake, Laura Marling, Bill Callahan, Stars, The Tallest Man on Earth and School of Seven Bells.

Quite a cool chalkboard animation - it's almost nauseating to think of the amount of time and effort that had to be put into this, but they got it just right. Firekites are an Australian collective with a folkish bent, recording the hush tones of their debut album The Bowery in the vacant dancehall-cum-bookstore it was named after. Though the line-up has been revolving, the band have been out on the road supporting the likes of School of Seven Bells, Iron & Wine, Laura Marling, Bill Callahan, Stars and The Tallest Man on Earth - their song, 'Last [...]
Qualche stagione fa parte dell'intellighenzia sarebbe impazzita per un gruppo come i Firekites. Rimandi alla Notwist attraverso arpeggi acustici e derivazioni post (abbastanza edulcorate), per un ipotesi folktronica intima ed emozionale. Questo ad un giudizio sommario: andando oltre si dovrebbe apprezzare il sapore o'rourkiano nella miscela fra rumorismo (soffuso) e canzone, abile ad interagire con [...]
Convém lembrar que da Austrália não chegam apenas ritmos synth-pop que tanto têm animado, nos últimos anos, as esferas europeias. Há também alguma pop que merece ser destacada, como é o caso dos Firekites que, após vários elogios nos media australianos relativos ao seu álbum de estreia, 'The Bowery', vão rumar à Europa para lançar esta pérola no mercado europeu.E se os Firekites já tiveram o

(image by Monkey T ) Venerdì 13. Il giorno è arrivato, oggi suonano gli Animal Collective . Il biglietto non c'è, ma la speranza di riuscire in qualche modo ad assistere al concerto è viva. Aspetto. L'attesa è grande. La tensione, l'ansia pure. L'evento che aspettavo da mesi, che ovviamente mi ha visto accoglierlo impreparato visto che son riuscito a presentarmi al botteghino il giorno dopo l'esaurimento dei biglietti ufficialmente disponibili. Si, "ufficialmente". La mia speranza è quella che domani sera (cioè, "stasera") [...]

You might call me a wet blanket for posting some acoustic songs on Friday. You might even call me an asshole. I bet though that once you've heard the Firekites you might reconsider your harsh words, shake my hand and buy me a beer.
