It's that time again, friends, time to gather around the table and share our thoughts on certain special albums. The subject this time is Sharon Van Etten -the woman, the myth, the legend. Alright, there's nothing really mythical about her but she is a legendary woman, and her newest album, Tramp , is released and ready for listening and debate. We have all eight of our writers contributing their thoughts here. Dig in, explore our opinions, and share your own in the comments! Sharon Van Etten / Serpents [...]
Los Angeles' Julia Holter has become something of a name dropper when talking about Los Angeles' current experimental music scene. This DIY artist is making bedroom pop that sounds like music coming from a church choir. "In the Same Room" has a haunting synth in the background, Holters' voice spits out staccato-like phrases, and ambient chords breaks barriers throughout the song.
I didn't hear a lot of new albums this month, but I did keep up pretty well with hearing new tracks via PR and my favorite blogs. Here's a mix of favorite finds, old and new, that I haven't already written about this month. Special shoutout to the blogs who hepped me to some of these tracks— Aquarium Drunkard (Reparata & the Delrons), For the Sake of the Song (White Fence, Etta James, and Woodpigeon), and the Rising Storm (Dave Davies). (I came across the rest via Pitchfork and innumerable other blogs [...]

Here it is, the first mix of The Last Year. So far we've had a flood of good music these first few weeks of 2012, which in fairness is probably just the result of bands wisely holding back on releasing things into the holiday void that is the winternet, but let's be optimistic about it and say this is going to be one of the greatest years for music in your lifetime. Why not! All of that said, this mix is only 10 songs, but they are ten of the very best songs we posted this month, with the added [...]

New track from the beautiful Julianna Barwick . She's the ultimate sleeping pill, and I mean that in the bath salts and candles kind of way. Totally divine. My friend Derrick (who you will be hearing quite a lot from very soon) will be travelling with her to Iceland, because that's a totally real scenario and not just a dream sequence. What a jerk! Julianna Barwick - Never Change

Acostumbrada a experimentar en los márgenes del pop, Barwick hace pocas horas compartió "Never change" desde el soundcloud del sello Asthmatic Kitty, dejándonos una solemne pieza que puedes escuchar y descargar más abajo.
