Frankie Rose releases Interstellar this month (2/21) and as Bill points out , she's left the garage pop of her debut behind in favor of synthy, jangly pop. It's a huge step up from her last album and you can stream the entire thing at SPIN . She plays a record release show for the album at Knitting Factory on February 21 with Dive and Night Manager . The new album from Dr. Dog, Be The Void , is out this [...]
Shearwater - You As You Were Fun facts gleaned from 20 total hours spread over two layovers spent in the Guangzhou International Airport: It's winter in China. "Well, duh," you are muttering, but I live in Malaysia and was visiting California. In my head, winter exists exclusive in movies and memories. I own exactly one pair of pants and zero coats. "So cold ah?" the lady behind me said as she rubbed my bare arm when we disembarked. I agreed. I'm fairly certain they don't heat the airport. [...]
And it's animal joyous...whatever that might mean.

![[Review] Shearwater: "Animal Joy" (6.5)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4046017_lg.jpg)
Shearwater no es solamente una banda mas que aparecio hace cerca de 9 años en el circuito de Texas; yo veo a Shearwater desde la perspectiva de un gran colectivo de excelentes musicos ya que como seguramente sabran, originalmente este fue un proyecto que nacio de la mente de dos de los integrantes de Okkervil River (Jonathan Meiburg y Will Sheff) asi que aunque no esten familiarizados con Shearwater, puede que si lo esten con Okkervil River o viceversa. En lo personal, algo que siempre me ha resultado bastante interesante de Shearwater, es principalmente las [...]
Dusdin Condren I'm not playing "firsties" here, but I've always known that Sharon Van Etten would go on to big things since writing up her debut Because I Was In Love back in October 2009 , and following 20102s excellent epic it seemed pretty clear that her third album Tramp - released yesterday - would be the one that would see her break out in a big way. That said, I'm still surprised at just [...]

In today's post, we have a 2nd track from the forthcoming Bowerbirds album The Clearing , which I have to say is getting me more and more excited; we have a new track off a new Woodpigeon EP For Paolo that is pretty damn awesome; we have a couple tracks that I like from bands I don't know much about, some that I know a little more about ( Said the Whale , Damien Jurado ), and we have the "slow version" of Superchunk 's absolutely brilliant 2009 B-side "Blinders", the [...]

Photo by Amy V. Cooper From NPR Music : Even at its most tender and delicate, Animal Joy pairs Meiburg's brainy proclamations with brawny, searching arrangements: Inventive percussionist Thor Harris leaves his reverberations all over the record, and he's aided by terrific bassist Kimberly Burke and an impressive assortment of guests, including Wye Oak multi-instrumentalist Andy Stack. The common thread binding them all, and binding everything Shearwater does, is a love of big thinking — and a clear understanding that brains and beauty need never be mutually exclusive. [...]

Mick Rock I will be the first to admit to not really being able to tell where Bradford Cox's Deerhunter ends and his Atlas Sound begins. I know that the former is ostensibly a band and the latter a solo project, but to my ears the hazy, psychedelic rock that each project produces isn't exactly a world apart. Okay, Atlas Sound is more keys, less guitars, but they're both critically adored and don't really do a lot for me, despite on paper being the sort of thing I should totally dig. [...]

I had surgery on my foot on December 7th, which turned out to be my own personal Pearl Harbor. And yes, I just compared my travails over the past 2 months with the attack that started America's entrance into World War II. Which might be worse than me weaving the story of my upcoming surgery with a review of 127 Hours . But this is my blog and fuck it, the last 7 fucking weeks have been absolute hell. So let's just move on. Shit happens to arlot of people but when you've been [...]
