With over a winter's month to mull it over our Indie 50 for 2011 are unveiled. The focus, as always, is discovering emerging acts, so this list reflects some of the best of that group, i.e. emphasis on obscurity. Most "mainstream arists" deserving of recognition are excluded from the numbered list and included in the footer. Neon Indian, who happens to win the numero uno spot, is one exception to the rule.

New Mixtape! Commuute - A Portable Playlist Sometimes it feels nearly impossible to go anywhere without a pair of headphones and some really good tunes blasting in your ears. It doesnt matter where youre going or how you get there- try making this music the soundtrack and see if it doesnt make the commute a little easier. This mix is designed specifically for strutting, but it should work on any mode of transportation. Some songs for the travel to your destination, and a few in there for your way home- [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-08T23:05:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4047132/real-estate-et-al-at-the-bottleneck/

You may not know Twerps yet, but with the band opening up for Real Estate on their upcoming tour, expect to know them soon. What should give the band an extra added boost is the video for their song "Through the Day" above--it's pretty great!

Melbournes Twerps just released a video for Through the Day, a melancholy song from their debut self-titled LP.

OK, we're cutting in one for a New Music Monday, so I'm going to make this a quickie. The fact that it's quick doesn't detract from the quality of the tunes though. They're all whoppers today. Now, I know that these aren't all super new songs, but I've only discovered them recently myself. Perhaps I should rename this post type 'New To Me Music Monday'. I'm going to post Howler 'Back Of Your Neck' first as it has been stuck in my head all day. This is probably because it was on the radio earlier, [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-06T21:03:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4041540/real-estate-at-the-bottleneck/

Tweet Sometimes a band has a song thats so irresistibly good that once it finishes the only thing you want to do is listen to it again. Recently, I was fortunate enough to encounter such a song, entitled Caveman Game .The musicians behind Caveman Game go by the names Chris Kerrigan, Dan Apodaca, Tim Jordan, and Kenny Tarantino. Together, they are WALK . WALK is a pop rock band from Los Angeles that has been around [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-04T16:30:05+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4037236/beach-fossils-shallow/

Photos by Laura June Kirsch Real Estate is one of the buzzworthiest bands of 2k11/2k12, touring across the country to 'raise their profile', and hopefully earn their way into the leather interiors of NPR -cool dad markets forever, grandfathered into our idea of 'indie that we pay 4' forever. Anyways, they played some show at a Chinese Buffet. I'm not sure if it is because they have 'hit rock bottom', living a life where they are addicted to needle drugs, inhalants, cock fighting and/or human trafficking in the [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-02T18:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4032407/real-estate-adds-more-2012-tour-dates/
Photo by Philip Cosores New Jersey's Real Estate have turned into virtual road warriors, adding even more tour dates to what has seemed like some relentless support fo last year's excellent album, Days . Their current slate of dates has Real Estate heading to Europe in mid-February, to Australia in March, and then back to the U.S. for Coachella in April. After Coachella, Real Estate will continue to locations like Lawrence, Kansas and Columbus, Ohio, eventually winding their world tour down with an appearance at Primavera Sound.
