When it comes to our Friday Mixtape, the theme of late has been that this collection of free mp3s will cheer you up after a week of snow and/or band breaks up. Neither of those were of course the case this week; it's actually beautiful in NYC currently, and Radiohead is fucking back. So rather than consider this mix of new singles and remixes, plus covers provided by our friends at Cover Me , as some sort of saving grace to end the week, let's say it the exclamation point. So enjoy new music from Architecture in Helsinki, Middle [...]

Luke Rathborne is just 22 years old and already knows what it feels like to be tired after a long night of drinking and other regrettable affairs, knowing he's gotta pick himself up to do it all over again the next night. Hailing from the deep woods of Brunswick, Maine, his voice occupies a wide range of sparse and haunting settings; from sad bastard bar ballads to whispy folk tunes, he succeeds in turning otherwise stubborn melancholy to the kind of comforting intimacy I used to go to Elliott Smith to find. His wispy tenor is so [...]
We featured Luke Rathbone a while back in our Lookout section, mainly because we dug his bluesy roots style and his melancholic crooning. This track, 'Dog Years', is taken from his split single (the other track is 'I Can Be One'), which comes out March 8 through Dilettante Recordings. Listen to the track here: 'Dog Years'
Luke Rathborne - Luke Rathborne 9/10 Luke Rathbone is yet another artist sent my way via my good friends at Sonic Cathedral. In much the same way as I was blown away by the musical maturity of Dylan Le Blanc in 2010, this self-titled mini-album shows musical maturity beyond his years. Now residing in Brooklyn - having moved up from Brunswick Maine - and still only 22 years old, this guy pretty much has it all for me. It's no surprise to me that Ryan [...]
Se llama Luke Rathmore , tiene 22 años, vive en Brooklyn y Devendra Banhart le ha señalado como uno de sus músicos favoritos. Rathmore se estrena con un doble Ep, I Can Be One / Dog Years, una brillante colección de canciones que se publicará el próximo 8 de marzo. Mp3: Luke Rathborne. Dog Years
Nearly four years removed from his debut LP, 20072s After Dark , Brooklyn-based Luke Rathbone has been busy in the studio prepping his upcoming split EP, I Can Be One/Dog Years . Miles away from the hushed, humble After Dark , the Dog Years EP introduces a more sophisticated Rathbone, whose growth as a hook-writer, particularly on the bittersweet title track, is an absolute delight. "Dog Years," with its charmingly regressive sound and Rathbone's melancholy lyrics recalls an early Vandervelde track, spacey arrangement and all. I Can Be One/Dog Years [...]
This March, the 8th to be exact, Luke Rathborne shall be releasing two EPs as one album. The split EPs, I Can Be One/Dog Years, will be released on Dilettante Recordings and I've gotta say I'm pretty excited. His songs shed light on life's experiences and he says that "all of the songs - on [...]

On his upcoming split EP, I Can Be One/Dog Years, Luke Rathborne channels legends Bob Dylan and John Lennon - as well as contemporary star Devendra Banhart - with his loose, scratchy vocals and swaying, acoustic rhythms. He portrays a cozy, front porch melancholy and his lyrics recall the open-hearted humanity of Lennon's later years.

With the release of major-label debut What Will We Be (Warner Bros.), Devendra Banhart proves once again he has the potential to be one of his generation's major players. His voice, with its careening vibrato and fuse-blowing intensity, sounds something like Marc Bolan's, but his repertoire may be more all over the map than anyone [...]

If your new year's resolution is to see more live music, you came to the right place. BUT, is it just us, or is the first full week of the new year somewhat lacking in live music options? Hey, they can't all be winners, but at least the list below can point you in the direction of 12 saving graces ( Civil War indie-rock musical!? ) for the next six days. And while we usually do picks for every night of the week, we decided to skip Monday altogether and start our picks with suggestions for tomorrow night (if you [...]
I may not be a huge fan of the winter holidays and their rush to consumerism, but I do love holiday music. Two of my favorite Christmas albums come from Kindercore Records , and the label is releasing its third holiday album soon, XMas 3: The War on Christmas , complete with a comic book, all for only $10. King of Prussia : "Xmas on the Other Side" [mp3] from XMas 3: The War on Christmas [...]
