If you’ve never heard the names Dan Donahue or Page Campbell before, don’t feel bad. The duo from Athens, Georgia has dabbled in the indie psych scene for the past few years, Donahue writing for of Montreal and Elf Power and Campbell performing occasionally with the hyper-weird music collective known as Dark Meat. (If you’re still lost, hang in there I’m reeling too). To your average earbud-wearing, touchscreen-poking human, they’re nobodies. Released under the moniker Dream Boat, Eclipsing is the pair’s first recorded work and a promising shove off into the placid waters of psychedelic folk. [...]
It’s easy to hate New Year’s because it forces you to reflect on time passing—and personally 2012 was the best and worst of times. Musically, I started something a little different this year—I kept month-by-month playlist diaries on Spotify. I created a new playlist on the first of every month and dumped every track I felt the urge to listen to intentionally onto them (nothing casually overheard). What came out was a chronicled examination of my own self-indulgence, struggles and parties. The majority of the music wasn’t new, but here are my clear favorites released this year, in order of [...]
#50 to #41 // #40 to #31 // #30 to #21 // #20 to #11 // #10 to #1 ------------------------------ ------------ 10. First Aid Kit - The Lion's Roar With The Lion's Roar , Swedish sisters Johanna and Klara Söderberg take the jump from relative obscurity to deserved acclaim. Their reputation has grown steadily since their 2008 cover of Fleet Foxes' "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song", which aided the critical recognition of 2010 debut The Big Black & The [...]
Yesterday's good highlighted some of the year's best debuts, which makes today the perfect opportunity to highlight tracks from some of 20122s most impressive sophomore efforts. I can only imagine how difficult it is to follow up a debut album, especially when the sophomore release is in high demand. The bands below most definitely avoided the dreaded "sophomore slump", none better so than The xx. Coexist was my most anticipated release of the year and it exceeding all of expectations. Easily my favorite album of the year. And like yesterday's good, the tracks below are a very small [...]
Frode & Marcus Sweden's Shout Out Louds generated a decent amount of WTF buzz last week with the announcement that they were releasing a limited edition 73 made out of ice. Their label Merge ran a contest to give away one of the ten of these in existence, and while I thought that they were actually giving away the ice single - and after entering I really hoped I wouldn't win because I know that I'd be the one who accidentally left it on the counter to melt or whose cat would [...]
Introduced in 2010, the Nordic Music Prize is presented annually to the artist who has come out with the best album of the last calendar year.

photo by Dave Lichterman Last month, KEXP, STG and Starbucks hosted the fourth Little Big Show at the Neptune and raised over $13,000 for 826 Seattle. The sold-out show featured two folk acts with ties to the Pacific Northwest: opener Laura Gibson grew up in Coquille, OR and is currently based in Portland; and Swedish sister duo First Aid Kit rose to prominence after they released a cover of Fleet Foxes' "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song." Watch videos of the performances below, and please join us for the fifth Little [...]

(31) Days of Good: 12.7.12
Yesterday's good highlighted some of the year's best debuts, which makes today the perfect opportunity to highlight tracks from some of 20122s most impressive sophomore efforts. I can only imagine how difficult it is to follow up a debut album, especially when the sophomore release is in high demand. The bands below most definitely avoided the dreaded "sophomore slump", none better so than The xx. Coexist was my most anticipated release of the year and it exceeding all of expectations. Easily my favorite album of the year. And like yesterday's good, the tracks below are a very small [...]

Shout Out Louds softly whisper details of new album, tour
Frode & Marcus Sweden's Shout Out Louds generated a decent amount of WTF buzz last week with the announcement that they were releasing a limited edition 73 made out of ice. Their label Merge ran a contest to give away one of the ten of these in existence, and while I thought that they were actually giving away the ice single - and after entering I really hoped I wouldn't win because I know that I'd be the one who accidentally left it on the counter to melt or whose cat would [...]

Like A Ghost In My Mind
First Aid Kit "Emmylou" This is the kind of love song that totally kills me. Klara Söderberg sings the verses with a stoic tone, addressing her faults and troubles with clear eyes, and generally setting up the reasons why she'd want to have a partner. The chorus is an offer, put in the terms of classic country music: "I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June / if you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too." She sings this part with a degree of sweetness and vulnerability that chokes me up in a huge [...]
