The Rural Alberta Advantage probably appreciate movies like The Deer Hunter, the 1978 classic that depicted the inhabitants of a small, factory-dependent town shortly after the Vietnam War. These portrayals of ex-soldiers/steel workers with deep emotional wounds made for a great film with a top-notch cast that contributed to some of the finest character development [...]
This one goes out to my beautiful wife and the last seven wonderful years we've spent together. I can only wish for a million more. Hope you all have a good one, and don't worry this can be enjoyed with or without a loved one in company. As usual, I've bundled all the tracks in a convenient zip file or you can grab the tracks you want individually below. Thanks for reading, I love you all. ZIP // LOVE IS ALL VALENTINES DAY 2011 [...]
If you're mood seems affected by all the dark, glitchy, post-dubstep artists, or those numerous burnt out, fuzzed, atmospheric, post-chillwave, guitar bands that are ten a penny at the moment, then you might find Grouplove the perfect antidote. During economic times like these, with all the job losses and cutbacks, alongside all the natural disasters and politically-charged rioting around the world, you would imagine the perfect backdrop would be the minimalism of James Blake , or the immersed saturation of Echo Lake . However, the last thing you need when your feeling at a low is [...]
Line Up: Freelance Whales, Broken Records and Marcus Foster Venue: XOYO, London Date: 2nd February 2011 This was my first jaunt along to the hipster haven and frankly unpronounceable XOYO and what better an occasion to pop that particular cherry than a line-up which includes the disparate sounds of both New York's Freelance Whales and Edinburgh's Broken Records ? [...]
Click on any image to enlarge | All photographs by Steven Walker Broken Records , one of the most promising bands of 2008 haven't really capitalised on their initial promise. Their first demos and EP hinted that great things were in their grasp; a heady mix of Arcade Fire and Beirut, combined with a live show that, although rough around the edges, suggested a band that with sufficient work could have taken over the world. They haven't, and if this set is any indication, they may have missed their chance. [...]
January has come and gone as quickly as ever and the music sure came thick and fast. Wether it was leftovers from yesteryear or brilliant new material, there was a lot of great music out there to be devoured. Here are five songs that slipped through Eclectic Eavesdroppings musical sieve but are all equally awesome; all variations on the indie pop/rock theme. Enjoy the listening: [mp3] Various Cruelties - If It Wasn't For You [ link 2 ] [mp3] Oberhofer - o0O0o0O0o [ link 2 ] [mp3] Prizes - [...]
Day Off Freelance Whales, the 5-piece band from Queens, NY, have been hard at work lately releasing single after single. They haven't mentioned a new album (that I know of) yet keep producing fantastic new music. This may be released as a follow up to their album Weathervanes which is a fantastic album definitely worth the $5.99 it garners on Amazon. http://www.greenlabelsound.com /artists/freelance-whales/
Click image to download full album Song: The Seedy Seeds - Verb Noun "The Seedy Seeds - Verb Noun" What's so good? The banjo is a really incredible instrument. I think it automatically makes me like a song, although in the case of "Verb Noun" by Cincinnati trio The Seedy Seeds, it's more like the combination of a banjo with an upbeat, catchy tune and some great vocals (note: I love when bands have both male and female vocalists). At first listen, [...]
Freelance Whales Tags: Freelance Whales , MTV Music Freelance Whales have released the video for the one-off track "Enzymes" which features a slew of gorgeous effects whether it be the colorful lights bouncing to the beat of the songs pounding synth line or The Fountain-esque raindrop scene. Much like the song it represents, this ones a winner. mp3 // enzymes [...]
Forgot to post the new(ish) single from Freelance Whales called "Day Off". It's still worth posting, though. It's a big dreamy song that shows what the band can do with some studio money. They sound bold and confident as all hell. It's a good look for them. [mp3]: Freelance Whales - Day Off
Monday, January 31, 2011 Today's Quick Mention: Don't forget that Deerhoof is playing the Mohawk tomorrow night. That's a pretty great venue to experience the band's experimental ways, so I highly recommend going. Tickets are $13. Music on Monday. Enjoy. : Peter Bjorn And John - Second Chance : I'm beginning to think these guys are underappreciated. Most people only associate them with a whistle-filled indie pop tune, but over the course of (what will soon be) six [...]

MOOOOR-ning! Having kicked off our own monthly series of gigs this weekend just, with an excellent gig at the Wee Red Bar, I feel very much ready to start properly going to gigs again, after an extremely quiet January. It was an excellent night actually, so a massive thank you to everyone who came out, and thanks a lot to the bands as well, who all made an effort to bring their friends down, which as a new promoter is something I am extremely grateful for. We've got something like five more gigs in the [...]
Chemikal Underground If you haven't already signed up to Chemikal Underground's mailing list, then you clearly haven't paid a blind bit of notice to anything I say. Not that I can blame you for not listening to me, but in all seriousness you really should sign up. So before you start festing on this weeks freebies go and sign up here . Just so you know what freebies you missed, this month they added some free tunes from new signing RM Hubbert and anew tune from Zoey Van Goey. You can download both songs here . [...]
We like Freelance Whales . No, we love Freelance Whales. We deemed their debut album Weathervanes the 8th best album of last year . Since releasing that album they have released a further single - titled Enzymes - on the Mountain Dew sponsored Green Sound label, which we also cooed over . This, their second single on Green Sound is lighter than the broody Enzymes and gladly doesn't dispose of the glockenspiel and sugar-coated vocals. That they are happy to keep [...]
coachella.jpg Okay, everyone. Coachella is going to be BADASS this year! The show takes place at the Empire Polo Field in Indio, CA from April 15 through April 17 and promises to be amazing. Catch all the details after the break. [...]
With the band gaining a good amount of buzz after the release of Weathervanes , Freelance Whales have been touring extensively in support of the release. The next batch of shows will be kicking off on April 10 when the band join Foals for a show in Vancouver, BC. The two acts will continue on the road across the US and Canada and will play a show at New York's Terminal 5 on May 4. The full list of shows is below. Freelance Whales tour dates: [...]
Steve Gullick The last time Oxford's Foals were in town back in September , guitarist Jimmy Smith's constantly malfunctioning amp and pedals provided frontman Yann Philippakis with enough rage-fuel to transform a technical disaster into a seething, edge-of-violent triumph, much to the delight of the completely jam-packed Lee's Palace. One expects they'll have the state of their gear checked and double-checked before their return engagement on April 30 at the Phoenix (tickets $16.50), though. And that's fine because as memorable as that last show was, it'll be nice to hear them showcase [...]
