I would be lying if I said that the new track "Mother of Pearl" by Silver Swans didn't sound a little similar to Camera Obscura's vibe of indie pop. But this new demo track from their forthcoming album Forever is absolutely full of sweet delicious pop goodness. Starting off with a thumping bass then later [...]
In a world full of trouble, people like the chance to focus on something positive - so, even though they're all royal and all the baggage that comes with that, there are still a lot of people around the world who are interested, even excited, by the royal wedding next Friday of Prince William and [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
It's been almost a year since Haiti was devastated by a 7.0 earthquake. Relief and reconstructions efforts still need support, and the L.A. music community is stepping up. A group called Plays Well With Others has curated a sterling 18-track compilation titled "To Haiti With Love," featuring songs by artists such as Gary Jules, Love Like Fire, Samuel Stewart, John Carpenter, His Orchestra and the Parson Redheads. It's well worth the minimum $5 donation. Heck, the Jimmy Tamborello remix of His Orchestra's "Attached" might be worth 5 bucks alone: [...]
Harlan Pepper Harlan Pepper are on album number one and Young & Old is a stellar way to come out of the gate, especially for a group that is made up of a recent high school graduates. If ever you need proof that exposing kids to the classics, be it rock, country, rap etc, can make them decidedly more awesome adults than Harlan Pepper is it. Having a sincere love for roots rock, blues and folk has given their music the kind of sonic patina bands usually attempt [...]
For the next month, The Daily Choice is going completely Bay Area. Nothing else will pierce these sonic walls except for these sounds. Well, unless something outstanding melts my face to the floor, ’cause you know I have to share a face-melter … - I've been impressed with the work of Burrows since I caught the last [...]
LoveLikeFire From: San Francisco, United States 'Dust' , the new album from San Franciscans LoveLikeFire (spaces are like so last year darlink), could have been recorded in England anytime between the winter of 1986 and the summer of 2009. It is a stunning blend of the retro rock of 'Porcupine' era Echo & The Bunnymen with the modern snaps and glitches of the xx . It manages to be both retro and on trend which is a difficult trick to pull [...]

![[Interview] LoveLikeFire “Heating Up”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2973207_lg.jpg)
I could sense the urgency in Ann Yu’s voice as she talked about her new album, Dust . The lead singer of San Francisco-based LoveLikeFire has struggled for years to support her dream of being a professional musician. The group’s buzz might have peaked with their debut, Tear Ourselves Away , which garnered her comparisons to Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Weighing down on her is the pressure to grow as an artist, and have her fan base follow. Almost self-reassuringly she tells me, “You need one song that [...]
>> In the context of this publication, anyway, LoveLikeFire has wanted for attention. This is in large part due to our deep affinity for the San Francisco dream-pop quartet's labelmates, the ace British indie pop outfit The Answering Machine . In our minds LoveLikeFire has to date existed as "The Band That Is Not The Answering Machine On Heist Or Hit." To be sure, that wouldn't be the case had we connected with LoveLikeFire's first record, 2009's Tear Ourselves Away , which we did not for some reason. Things have changed, however, [...]

(photo by Miwah) Silver Swans share a vocalist with LoveLikeFire, the inimitable Ann Yu, cooing here instead of beliting as in her other band, creating more shoegazing and swirling in the place of rising wails of guitars and soaring elements. Silver Swans' first cut track, "Secrets", is evidence of this all. Yu and band mate [...]
It's Monday and feels like a perfect day to feature a great cover song. Today we have Silver Swans covering one of our favorite bands, The National. Of course you already know how we feel about The National, but it's worth noting that Silver Swans have quite a bit to offer as well. Fronted by Ann Yu from another great band, LoveLikeFire , Silver Swans have already started to make their own path. The band is currently preparing their debut EP, you can hear an original from it here. Enjoy [...]

The San Francisco dream pop duo are moving quick. With their recent debut of their new single "Secrets" they took on one of today's most beloved indie rock acts. Their cover of The National's "Anyone's Ghost" from their recent album High Violet may take the song a few steps back in pace but the slow [...]
San Francisco dream pop duo consisting of Ann Yu and Jon Waters have been tinkering in their bedrooms real late at night. And what's come of the meanderings late at night is "Secrets." The brand new track is an exquisite example of what natural songwriting can lead to. The song is a beautiful lulling lullaby [...]
Its been barely a year since their debut LP Tear Ourselves Away dropped in August of 2009 but SF-based LoveLikeFire, a band I had the privilege of catching in Chicago a couple of years ago has just made their upcoming album Dust available for purchase/download via bandcamp with one song, "Saint Martin", available for free.
