Whether you listen to an artist because they sound good or because you've been attracted by their name, either item always seems to be one of two reasons you've discovered any number of songs in your music library. Remember the old days before iTunes when you would look at the album cover and say, "Yup, I'm going to buy this". Now that times have changed and music is so readily available to us, it still comes down to the band name itself that can either make or break our decision to even listen to the artist. The list below represents [...]
das duo aus wisconsin zieht große kreise, wenn es darum geht, ihren einflüssen gerecht zu werden, trip hop, dub, trance pop, wie auch immer, "936" ist ein großartiges album, auf not not fun erschienen: peaking lights - all the sun that shines hinweis auf eine 7", die auf novoton erschien, eingespielt von mitgliedern von the bear quartet und audionom, die single weist auf das im märz (15.03.) erscheinende "mischmasch" album, die b-seite ist ein non album track, joy division, new order oder so, die richtung: [...]
Right off the bat, we can say that this is not anywhere as near a big week for new releases as other weeks so far this month have been. But one of the exciting new releases is the official drop of Liars' new EP, Proud Evolution. The title track was remixed by no other than [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

This week, music and film lovers who didn't like their own world all that much had quite the pick from imaginary (better?) places to live. Plastic Beach, Sisterworld, Logorama, and whatever the fuck place it is that Flash Delirium lives, let's call it Flashlandia™. Personally, while Logorama would definitely be trippy as hell, I think I'd probably opt for Flashlandia™. It seems to me that colours would just be much brighter there and the bubblegum sweeter. Sisterworld would be cool too, lots of concrete, the occasional droning sound emitting from an abandoned building, leaky taps [...]
"It is my ambition to say in ten sentences; what others say in a whole book. " - Friedrich Nietzsche MP3: The New Pornographers - Your Hands (Together) Opening with a heavy drama , this first new album track hints sounds bold. Like a Twin Cinema track with an injection of testosterone, it's powerful and promising. [...]
We posted something on One in a Googolplex last year and the German singer/songwriter who took his name from a line in the movie "Back To The Future III," is back. Sounding like a fractured fairy tale with a beat, OIAG , write slightly discordant synth pop that's the sound of a heart breaking repeatedly. The goal of OIAG is create timeless tunes that are enjoyable on this planet or any others man happens to wind up on. Judging by the two latest songs he's released, this [...]
One In A Googolplex From: Saarland, Germany Winner of the worst band name of the week award goes to One In A Googolplex ( the number 10 100 nothing to do with the similarly sounding search engine) the pseudonym of a German singer/songwriter. The band name is taken from a line in the movie 'Back To The Future III' [...]
The latest in our Treasure Trove comes to us from One In a Googolplex . One In A Googolplex is a German singer/songwriter taking his name from a line in the movie "Back To The Future III". His music is genre-breaking and goes from acoustic to electro-pop. After a short intermezzo as a singer in a teenage band and after extrapolating the properties of good audio from old Beach Boys cassettes, Coldplay records and Nick Drake's singing, OIAG began to write his own songs with a [...]
