Kjell B Persson Know what the worst thing about not going to SXSW this Spring was? Not missing SXSW, but not having my previously annual late-Winter vacation. In fact, save for a weekend jaunt to New York last November, the last time I got out of the 416 was Labour Day - that's well over eight months ago, and right mental. And while I'd like to say that the European theme of this post is a hint as to where I'm getting away to, it unfortunately is not. I still hope to make it across the Atlantic later [...]

By this time next week, we'll already have (albeit only ephemerally) relocated to Barcelona for day upon day of decadent overindulgence and musical extravagance, for this year's edition of the quintessential left field festival, Primavera Sound , is now upon us. I can practically taste the Estrella Heineken fizzling away at the rear of my palette and, truth be known, the way this British springtime's currently panning, out I'm almost relishing the prospect of inevitable sunburn. Almost... Storms are currently forecast for the week though that can't be right, right..? Anyhow – as is so often our wont [...]
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are celebrating 30 years as a band with their follow-up to 2008's Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!, Push the Sky Away. However none of the original Bad Seeds are with the group – multi-instrumentalist and lead guitarist Mick Harvey left in 2009 but longtime member Warren Ellis, amongst others, remains. The alt-rock/post punk group is historically known for their narrative lyrics, but this time around they take a minimalist approach, creating finely crafted, sober arrangements inspired by Cave's fascination with how the serious and profound co-exist with the absurd and trendy on the internet.

Los cinco videos de la semana: David Bowie para " T he Next Day " que aunque muchos tacharon de controversial, la verdad es un video que va más allá de la polémica, porque simplemente es Bowie siendo Bowie. Smith Westerns , una banda relativamente nueva, que ha encontrado su sonido en los últimos años y presentaron un dulzón video para el tema " Varsity" . Le seguimos con Local Natives y The National , para terminar un video donde Nick Cave and The [...]

Frank Yang Things move quickly these days; this I know and understand, and yet it still manages to astound me sometimes. The ascent of London's Daughter , for example. It wasn't much over a year ago that the trio was still largely unknown, only getting on my radar by old-fashioned word of mouth and becoming one of my favourite discoveries of SXSW 2012 . When they came around to make their Toronto debut last October - still a ways off from releasing their debut album or making any real promotional push - they still [...]

photo by Kyle Johnson Yeah Yeah Yeahs ' have released the video for the title track off of their new album, Mosquito .

Photograph by Andrew Paynter It’s hard to believe we’re four months into 2013. Winter has worn out its welcome, spring is slowly creeping into the picture, and another year of university has come to a close. This mixtape is pretty self-explanatory: a collection of nine tracks that have accompanied me through yet another semester. Atoms for Peace - Default A cold, calculated piece of electronic sprawl from Thom Yorke and company. I love the clickety-clack beat and the icy synths on the [...]

La portada de 'Holy Fire', uno de los mejores álbumes del 2013. El 2013 ha sido un gran año para la música, uno repleto de asombrosos debuts y esperadísimos regresos que han logrado tenernos al borde de nuestros asientos casi diariamente. Lo más impresionante de todo es que apenas llevamos un tercio del año y hay muchos otros títulos interesantes en camino, desde Daft Punk hasta Boards of Canada . Hay mucho para emocionarse, pero antes consideramos que vale la pena mirar atrás y recordar los grandes discos que salieron durante los últimos [...]
