There is a really good free compilation you'll have to check out from Something In Construction to celebrate 100 releases at the label. A niggling point though before we get into another round of our default effusiveness, the mp3s are really badly tagged on the download – hard to understand given all the effort that must have gone into making such a rich and diverse collection. That aside there is much to savour from the likes of Memory Tapes, MNDR, the Silent League, Houses and our favourite Loney, Dear. We were wondering what Emil Svanängen would [...]
Via The Line Of Best Fit / Something In Construction comes this first preview track (the correct title is Blues and not Loney Blues ) from the forthcoming Loney Dear album Hall Music . Loney Dear - Loney Blues by SICrecords [...]
Don't get yourself all confused now. This is a new song from the chillwave Memory Tapes, recording alias of New Jersey-based Dayve Hawk, not memoryhouse. To celebrate 100 releases, London label Something in Construction have released a great compilation for download titled Love Sic Disco, which includes new song from MT, "Today Is Our Life." Listen [...]
Loney Dear is this month's guest artist at mixtoverdener.dk (mix two worlds) and shares this rather alternative remix/interpretation of Bortkørende Tog (Train Passing By) by Danish composer Rued Langgaard . + How Can I Turn The Darkest Night
Headless Horseman is a hot-off-the-press New York duo with some outstanding potential. In fact, it's only been a week or two since Fareed Sajan and Connor Oneill played their debut show at Glasslands (opening for Avey Tare no less), but they've already got some CMJ appearances lined up at the Greedhead showcase (@ Piano's October 20) and at the Musebox Unofficial CMJ party (@ Cameo Gallery October 21). And if you, like myself, can't make it out to NYC for the big CMJ fest, they've released a 5 song EP (appropriately titled 5songs) via [...]
Taking a brief sabbatical from the recording of album number six, Loney dear appeared on Swedish TV show Nyhetsmorgon yesterday tooled with a full brass band performing an all new arrangement of 'Saturday Waits' from 20072s Loney, Noir . If this doesn't put a smile on your face on this brisk Sunday morning then you're almost definitely devoid of emotion.

Like it or not. A post like this was inevitable... Been giving the new Arcade Fire album a few spins today. Because everyone else seem to enjoy it (and because I'm such a dickhead), I really want not to like it. If nothing else, then just to be able to say that I'm not buying into the hype. Got to admit that this mission has failed completely, as my first impression is beyond positive. + Wake Up (not from the album, but you knew [...]
Well well, happy Monday to ya! Did you have a good weekend? Yeah, me too. A bit quick though... Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, they are all "too quick", but man, Saturday specifically just flew by. It's all good though, we put in a little extra effort on Sunday to sloooow iiiit dooooown aaaaaa smmmmiiiiiiiiiiiiiidddddddgggg ggge. Niiiiiice.................. Okay, before we get to the goodness, got some heads up to throw your way. First up, ads! Yep, we sold out. And by sold out, I mean we are [...]
Julia Mård You can probably scientifically and quantitatively prove that there is nothing fresh or original about what Swede Kristian Matsson does under his stage name of The Tallest Man On Earth . He's a folk-oriented singer-songwriter who's armed with just an acoustic guitar and a raspy, Dylan-ish twang and in those terms, is indistinguishable from an infinite number of performers in coffee houses around the world at any given moment in time. What sets Matsson above and apart is something more ineffable; a fine sense of melody, deft guitarwork and evocative turn of phrase, certainly, [...]
On continue donc de passer en revue ces morceaux qui font l'apologie de la tristesse... J'espère que le premier volume vous aura plus car la deuxième partie vous mettra l'eau à la bouche/vous fera monter les larmes aux yeux (tout dépend du point de vue). On attaque avec les vingt morceaux suivants et ce sont cette fois des artistes allant de la lettre D jusqu'à M qui sont à l'honneur. It's time to cry now, dear mascottes: > Damien Rice - Cold Water > Death Cab [...]
Hopefully I'm not over interpreting the update just posted at Loney Dear 's Facebook page , but it certainly looks as if the band's sixth album is almost finished? + I Am John mp3hugger calls Heart Stab by Champagne Riot " this year's sleeper anthem " for the Ibizan dance floors. And don't forget to download the track. It's awesome! Register [...]
Joel and Linnea Edin are The Forest and the Trees , a Swedish husband and wife duo creating effervescent adult indie -pop replete with lofty melodies, laptop beats and sweetly ethereal vocal harmonies. Their official bio assesses their self-titled debut album as "a technicolor burst of Swedish sunshine" and we would have to agree. Just released in Europe and without a U.S. distribution deal, The Forest and the Trees is the ideal springtime soundtrack -- all that's missing is the gentle chirping [...]

I'm a big fan of album art, it's one of the big reasons I collect vinyl, and occasionally I thought it might be fun to talk about album covers that I like. A while back I did a post on album cover look-a-likes that people seemed to enjoy, so I thought I'd start off this feature with a post in a similar vein. This is a mix of 10 albums that feature a large circle prominently on the cover. Looking through my collection, I was amazed at how many LPs (including two from this year) share this and [...]
It took us until February to gather and present what our hearts felt about the music from 2009, but we are ready to open the door to the songs that shaped our year. Our top ...

That's right. Tonight's the night. The night we've all been waiting for. Oh man oh man. It's actually ridiculous how excited I am for this. I'd be lying if I said I've been thinking of anything but this for like 2 weeks. Because I haven't. mp3: Coldplay - Lost! mp3: Rilo Kiley - Plane Crash In C mp3: The Whitest Boy Alive - Island mp3: Loney [...]
Hello hello, it's Friday Friday and man o' man another fun weekend ahead! Lots of craftin' and artsin' and cyclin' and even a little road trippin' to Cincinnatin' for a photoshoot. This time, it's Baby's turn to get in front of the lens (tech speak, sorry) and amazing photographer and model Claudia's turn to shoot! Now, I'll be there, camera(s) in tow, to shoot the shoot (did I just blow yer mind???) as 1) I want [...]
Well, here it is, now pulling into the station... the caboose at the very end of the too-long train of "best of 2009" music blogger posts, three weeks into the new one. And, as ever, it most certainly is not a "best of", but simply a "my favorites" - the albums that soundtracked my own personal year. But you knew that.I've said it before, and I'll say it one last time for emphasis: My 2009,
