Mark Lanegan & Duke Garwood - 'Black Pudding' (UK Release: 13 May '13) // Words: Simon Opie Mark Lanegan may well be the hardest working man in show business since the new millennium dawned, which isn’t bad considering that when he appeared with Queens Of The Stone Age back at the turn of the century, it was rumoured that he couldn’t manage to sing more than a handful of songs per night. Even so, that incarnation of QOTSA [...]
Normally, this column is more concerned with underground, unheralded and experimental exponents of hip-hop. Sometimes though, there are records by legendary figures that are impossible to ignore. The new record by Ghostface Killah and Adrian Younge is one of those records. Twelve Reasons To Die is without doubt one of the hip-hop LPs of the year so far. Executive produced and narrated by RZA and entirely arranged, produced and composed by Adrian Younge , a visionary LA based psychedelic soul producer, it is a concept album that subverts hip-hop's traditional norms [...]
As always, another week of Future tunes, UK Bass, Filth, DnB, and Trap. The filth is heavier, the future is less abstract, and the UK bass is more sub-oriented. I mixed up the drum 'n' bass section with a couple super heavy tracks and a couple chill ones. The trap is...well, it's trap. I'm still waiting to see where this genre goes and if it's really here to stay. Per your request, all the tracks are downloadable this week (except one of the dnb tunes). I've provided links for the lazy, but don't let that deter you from [...]
Le nouvel album de Thee Oh Sees s'appelle Floating Coffin , sa pochette est un monstrueux visage kaléidoscope plein de fraises, et il sort le 16 avril. D'après John Dwyer, le leader, c'est l'album le plus « heavy » du groupe. Il n'avait pas à dire un autre mot de plus pour me mettre l'eau à la bouche... Thee Oh Sees a sorti le meilleur album de 2011, cliquez ici pour aller en lire la critique !
It seems James Blake has been in a battle against himself. As ballads and beautiful electronic pieces coincide, nothing Blake has released to date has disappointed. Re-born with last month's "Retrograde", the Brian Eno infused "Digital Lion" follows suit. With the trademark Blake vocal and gnarly bass line, the new Blake album, dropping in April, should definitely be marked on your calendar. By Phoebe Anne Severin James Blake : ( Official ) ( Label ) ( Myspace ) [...]

As the April 8 release date for James Blake 's second album Overgrown steadily approaches and fans are continuing to soak in " Retrograde ," two more tracks off the LP have popped up this week on the Internet. The first, "Voyeur," got a first play from Radio 12s Benji B and the second is a titillating collaboration with the legendary Brian Eno entitled "Digital Lion." More precise minimal bliss from the young prodigy awaits you below. You just finished reading Listen to two more [...]

Floating Coffin is out 4/16 via Castle Face.
Sure, John Dwyer and his San Francisco psych outfit, Thee Oh Sees, give the likes of Ty Segall and Robert Pollard solid competition in the ongoing battle of the most prolific bands contest. They've released a lifetime of music in the past five years , alone. But what's often lost when we talk about Segall, Pollard, and, especially Dwyer is that these songwriters, to a man, have the jams to justify their output. And damn, what a heavy groove we have here with "Toe Cutter - Thumb Buster," the latest by Thee Oh Sees. The blown-out and busted amp [...]
Here's another new jam from Thee Oh Sees' upcoming record Floating Coffin - "Toe Cutter - Thumb Buster." If anyone can amalgamate psych and pop structures into a single, utterly irresistible song, it's these guys - what with that amazing, fuzzed-out slow-mo riff, "Toe Cutter" is probably the punch in the face you didn't know you needed to get up on this dreary Wednesday. Add to that John Dwyer and Bridget Dawson's mirrored falsetto vocals, a supple bassline, and plenty of distorted guitar quivers, and you've got one of our favorite psych-rock fist-pumpers of [...]
What happens when you mix Sex In the City with once struggling writer Lena Dunham and throw in a side of Judd Apatow? You get HBO's hit comedy-drama Girls. Girls follows the exploits of Hannah Horvath (played by Dunham) as she navigates the world of trying to make it as a writer in New York City with her three friends (Jessa, Marnie, and Shoshana). Now I know this sounds a bit like that other show featuring four female friends that was featured on HBO, but that's where the comparisons end. [...]
Lets slow it down a little bit on Valentine's Day. Abel Tesfaye, known as The Weeknd out of Toronto, Canada, of Ethiopian decent, has been gaining a lot of momentum every since Drake gave a shout out via Twitter. With a slow, crooning sound exhibiting strong blues influences tied into falsetto, The Weeknd has a bunch [...]

ein stau. die autos horten sich und es findet sich nur schwerlich eine möglichkeit, die straße zu verlassen. endlich, es ist bereits spät, dunkel, der fahrer ist müde, erwischt er eine lücke und nimmt reißaus. die karte muss studiert werden, um keine irrige route zu wählen. klarheit verschafft, weiter gehts. es liegen noch etliche stunden fahrt vor dem reisenden. dann, plötzlich, schwärze. ein dorf rollt zwar vorbei, dennoch unbeleuchtet. gesäumt von alten, knorrigen bäumen, eine gespenstische szenerie, die vom spärlichen autoscheinwerfer in schatten geworfen wird. imagination. inspiration. allein dieser bilder wegen regt sich im geiste des künstlers so einiges. kreise [...]
![[Indie] Youth Lagoon – Dropla](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4724429_lg.jpg)
Back in 2011 a guy named Trevor Powers, aka Youth Lagoon , released one of the dreamiest, dreamy dream-pop albums entitled The Year of Hibernation . Its mellow, sweet melodies, such as on songs like "Cannons" (below) or "Afternoon," stay with you for days, weeks to come. On March 5th, he will put out his sophomore LP, Wondrous Bughouse and today we get a sneak peek with this track "Dropla". Though it's not quite as instantly gratifying as his past material — it's a bit more complex, quirky, moody — it's still new Youth Lagoon [...]
