We were waiting to see this band live before we made up our minds about blogging them on The Recommender. We needn't have. Having visited Kentish Town's Bull & Gate venue, to catch the showcase run by fellow music blogger Ollie from My Band's Better Than Your Band , we witnessed a magnificent performance that's earned them a piece on here with ease. They've floated around since early last year, featuring on a selection of blogs and gaining decent support slots with the likes of Local Natives and Mumford & Sons , [...]
A principios de Noviembre del 2009, me encontré por ahí, entre los tantos blogs que rondan mi lector RSS, una canción titulada, "Airplanes", misma que se desprendía de un disco titulado 'Gorilla Manor', autoría de una banda que se hace llamar Local Natives. Comencé a escarbarle hasta [...]
Lad mig præsentere Young Dreams , et 12 mand stærkt musikkollektiv fra Norge, nærmere bestemt Bergen, der laver solbeskinnet indie pop med tropisk islæt. De klinger lidt som en blanding af Local Natives og Beach Boys. Vi har knapt har taget hul på foråret her i det kolde nord, men heldigvis er der jo ikke noget, der forhindrer os i at tage en tur sydpå i tankerne. Kære læser, luk øjnene og tag forskud på de af glade sommerdage med Young Dreams — og tjek op på dem når det bliver lidt varmere, og du [...]
Tweet QM favorites Superhumanoids have had quite the year. After their beautiful release, Urgency , the shoe-gazing gang hit the road to tour with Local Natives in the UK, played quite a few dates stateside, killed at the first annual Snowball Fest, oh yeah... and their new EP Parasite Paradise comes out today. Whew. "Malta" is our first look into the EP, and goodness these guys just seem to get better with everything they do. As if [...]

(More thanks/credit to Camilo Bejarano for his incredible artwork) Some of you guys enjoyed my January Mix so much that you've requested more. I couldn't let you down. So I made you guys another mix for February. I know, I know, it's March 2nd. I've been a bit behind on life, and am still playing catch up. I threw together this mix with my favorite stuff from the past 28 days or so. Some of these you should know, and some of them you may not know. That all doesn't matter. These [...]

This is what I love most about indie music. I like watching a caterpillar turn into a beautiful butterfly, and being witness to the transformation of a young band becoming something truly special.
I had the fine opportunity to check out Local Natives on Saturday February 25th. I arrived at the Walt Disney Hall to check out their show that came in two halves. The first coming with a string Quartet, then a brief intermission, and the guys returned with the full LA...
At one moment during Local Natives' gleeful turn Saturday night at Walt Disney Concert Hall, singer-keyboardist Kelcey Ayer gazed longingly at the grand piano in front of him, which seemed not much smaller than a lot of clubs the Los Angeles quintet played during its two-year ascent into the indie-pop limelight. "This is the first time I get to play a real piano live," Ayer said, giving the grand a big man-hug as the capacity crowd laughed. Then he turned to the modest electronic keyboard at the front of the stage and added, "I [...]

Tonight's top shows: ► Local Natives perform at the sold-out Walt Disney Concert Hall. Weren't these guys gigging at the Silverlake Lounge, like, last month? Seems like. The breakout quintet will perform one acoustic set with a string quartet, then a second plugged-in set with a 23-piece orchestra. ► Speaking of breakouts, Young the Giant is rolling behind its self-titled debut, and the O.C. quintet rocks the Roxy tonight, supported by We Barbarians and Kitten . ► Still love Matt Pond PA's "The Dark Leaves," [...]
La Primavera arranca oficialmente el 20 ó 21 de marzo con el equinoccio correspondiente, temporada del año en la que los arbloes nos deleitan con sus frutos, las flores abren lentamente para mostrar su belleza y encantar ojos y narices, los animales se reproducen o dan a luz para mantener su especie lejos [...]

"Be Sincere." That's it really, in a nutshell, distilled to its very essence. That is our simple entreaty, something held more vital than a manifesto, but not quite dogma. It a sense, there's not much to it, or at least not much concrete. There's something about it, though, something compelling. Sincerity is one of those lovely little ideas both ultimately mutable and utterly inarguable. One can be sincere about almost anything, yet once you are, it is a statement of ultimate purpose and conviction. It's a form of truth. I'll admit, the [...]
