Since then, they've released one fantastic album , generated 'buzz' and are currently supporting Kylie on tour! Here is one of the standout tracks on Gilgamesh remixed by Melbourne outfit, the misleadingly-titled Dublin Aunts . Gypsy & [...]

It's June, so it must mean it's time for the obligatory Indietracks compilation album. Sadly this year it won't be released on CD in an attempt to reduce costs, meaning you'll have to burn your own discs for the long drive up. On the other hand, as it's a download only, you can pay whatever you like for it with all proceeds going to the lovely Midland Railway Centre . Every year they put up with us descending on them, so it's nice to be able to give them a little something back. [...]

Polyvinyl So I've had to check myself a couple times from taking a, " Shugo Tokumaro 's music is so weird and wonderful, it must be because he's Japanese!" angle on this writeup. Because even though it's not incorrect - Tokumaru IS Japanese and sings entirely in Japanese and many things that come out of Japan are weird and wonderful to Western sensibilities - it's too reductive and doesn't give Tokumaru enough credit for what he's done with his music. His latest album, Port Entropy is the second of [...]
Featuring Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Joel Gibb of the Hidden Cameras, "It Happened Today" is a booming example of how R.E.M. has maintained excellence throughout the band's career. Casually crafting a wonderful aural landscape, roughly half of the song solely utilizes a soaring vocal harmony which is underlined by the aforementioned guests, throatily humming along in the distance. Trailing "Discover" as the second song to be released as a primer for the band's forthcoming 15th (!) studio album, Collapse Into Now , "It Happened Today" boasts a positivity that is expected to [...]

What started as a dream for local record store owner Pascal Roth and his partner just a few months ago became a reality. Over four nights, the Salle de Castillo [...]
