You've got to love an indie rock stable with eclectic tastes, and such is the genius of K Records . They're set to release the new album from Kendl Winter titled The Mechanics of Hovering Flight , and I'm really enjoying getting lost in this album today. Listeners should appreciate her penchant for storytelling, especially on this single. One listen to this track and I'm hoping you'll see the gifts in her [...]
In this edition: Indie labels rule the day today as Dad Rocks! has a great sophomore effort on Mount Modern , and we get to know the Sunderbans. As always, we have your weekly considerations and a mountain of new videos. Dad Rocks! - Mount Modern Dad Rocks! seems like a natural shoe-in for our house musician here at The Dadada. Last year's Digital Age was one of the best EPs (and debuts) of [...]
Here are The Wheel's Still In Spin's suggested new releases. As always, feel free to leave a comment with your suggestions. Cloud Nothings – Turning On. Download "Hey Cool Kid" (mp3). Download "Can't Stay Awake" (mp3). Cloud Nothings is a Cleveland based band fronted by Dylan Baldi. There is a little bit of a retro feel to these lo-fi power pop songs. The sound is addictive to listen to. Moondoggies – Tidelands. Download "It's a Shame, It's a Pity" (mp3). There's something appeasing about straight rock and roll with electric guitar, Rhodes organ, are harmonized vocals. The Moondoggies play this [...]

Hoe vind je je een weg door de eindeloze stroom nieuwe interessante bandjes en niet-te-missen releases? Dat is een vraag die me vaak bezighoudt. Natuurlijk kun je je laten leiden door Pitchfork , Popmatters , The Wire of 3voor12 . En misschien zelfs door Oor . Ik kan natuurlijk alleen voor me zelf spreken. Bijna dagelijks lees ik Popmatters en Pitchfork, loop regelmatig interessante blogs als Songs Illinois , Stereogum , Skatterbrain en Gorilla vs Bear langs. Bovendien ben ik geabonneerd op mails met release nieuws van [...]
Ik heb de afgelopen periode geen stap buiten dit land gedaan en toch voel ik me benadeeld door de vulkaan-as uit IJsland Want waar blijven al die CD's die ik in de USA heb besteld? Door het onvoorspelbare gedrag van de Eyjafjallajökull kan ik eindeloos wachten op schijfjes die ik bij Amazon, Parasol en andere leveranciers bestelde. Zou ik ook een claim in kunnen dienen? Gelukkig druppelt de nieuwe muziek inmiddels mondjesmaat bij me binnen. Zo vond ik onlangs eindelijk de CD van Kendl Winter die ik ergens vorige maand besteld had in de bus. [...]
Olympia's own indie bluegrass-er, Kendl Winter , may become the first country-tinged artist on K Records . It just got confirmed that, in October, K will reissue her latest effort, Apple Core on CD and LP. Kendl has made a name for herself in such bands as The Blackberry Bushes, The Pasties, Southern Skies, Kite, and It's All Gotta Go- which has left little time to promote her fine solo works. Apple Core is her best to date, a meticulously-crafted album that isn't done justice by any the labels that could be applied to it. So [...]
