The people in Talvik's songs are weary, but they've also, miraculously, retained the stars in their eyes, those blazing gleams that they'll be damned if they ever let get rattled or ripped from them. Sofia Talvik on Daytrotter My Daytrotter session is released today, and for all of you who asked about which album the Wichita Lineman cover is on, and I've said none - here it is! For all of you who [...]

Weekly Playlist 82 features Yeasayer, The Owls, The Good China, ∆ (alt-J), The Orwells, Howler & Ball Park Music. The Good China - We Knew That We Had To Leave Their new single "We Knew That We Had To Leave" from their forthcoming second EP. MZ Howler - Wailing (Making Out) Shows off lead singer Jordan Gatesmith's range amazingly. Ridiculously voice for a young lad, and at 1:39 he screams and it might as well be Casablancas himself, raw and powerful. Great end to a cracking tune. RG [...]

Black Owl’s name suits their dark, rough sound remarkably well. There are comfortable swaths of American roots-rock, 70’s folk stomp, and 60’s guitar pop. However, the whole thing gets a proto-punk tint with the occasionally aggressive guitar work and oblique lyrics.

But everything comes together into a hauntingly compelling sound that can’t be ignored. Plus,I bet these guys wear all black, strum their guitars really aggressively, and yelp into [...]

The austere setting has left a palatable atmosphere on the album, seeping through and imbuing the danceable ditties with quite the trippy ambiance. "We went up north into northern Michigan and recorded some of it in [...]

In a room of about 60 fans One of those embracing James was Juice, known for being one of the most prolific lyricists to ever grasp a mic in the city of Chicago. When speaking with James after the show for his first interview ever, he exclaimed [...]

She embarked on her extensive Drivin' & Dreaming US tour in November 2011 and will be playing her way through the US until either she or her tour bus breaks down for good. She has played [...]

As the magazine isn't available outside Sweden, I'm sharing a translated extract of the review with you here: What really lifts the songs are the symphonic but soothingly so produced string arrangements, the [...]
