perfectmidnightworld : SIX SONGS WORTH SPINNING /// (week of) 12.2.11 After skipping last weeks six song roundup, I figured it was only fitting that I be prompt and on time this week. The problem of course being that as we get closer to the end of the year it's just harder and harder to find the time to parade new and interesting tracks to everyone. Luckily, I squeezed in the time and now it's just an issue of presenting some of my favorites to you, the [...]
i have a shitload of emails pushing this and that band, but in all honesty they mostly go ignored. i like finding stuff on my own. granted i have stated in the past that i know for damn sure that i miss out on a lot of great stuff by ignoring these emails, but its the 15 year old in me that hates to be told to listen to this that and the other band. with that said, i stumbled across this band, should , who i believe are out of baltimore and their like a fire without [...]
Today, Captured Tracks is making, and slightly tweaking, music history with the launch of their Shoegaze Archives . For those who still have doubts about the resurrection of vinyl, the Shoegaze Archive series will shut them up. If the words "never before released on vinyl" make your mouth voraciously water, then it is strongly advisable you check out The Shoegaze Archives. The collection encompasses all the indefinable, loud, melancholic, motley recordings of the late '80s and early '90s-great music that has been collecting dust in an obsolete vacuum of abandoned CDs. Many Shoegaze original [...]
I only ask the question because it came up in conversation in the pub recently. I was chatting to a relatively young friend of mine who was saying that he was drifting away from new music a little because when the newer musical fads - chillwave and lo-fi, for example - have emerged, instead of really getting into them, he's been exploring backwards to the stuff which inspired them in the first place. This is a way of looking at it that I find really interesting, not least because I do the exact opposite. When it was all [...]

Should has returned after 13 years with a new record, Life A fire Without Sound , courtesy Words On Music . Marc Ostermeier and Tanya Maus of Austin continue Should in the way they left off - beautifully pleasant and minimal shoegaze pop. "Turned Tables" fits this description nicely with a dream-like melody and soft, dual vocals. "Turned Tables" also receives video treatment, which can be seen below. Despite the band's more-than-decade of existence, Ostermeier and Maus have maintained a youthful edge in [...]
This week's S-25 is dedicated to a random pick of 2011 songs that we really enjoy - some are well-known, or new material from established indie and alternative rock bands - like The Strokes, Beirut, Peter Bjorn and John, and Bon Iver - but many others are songs that we refer to as 'rarely heard,' [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
Every week at Indie Shuffle, we get tons of great submissions from artists all over the globe who are looking to have their music heard. It's impossible to sort through all of these emails, but sometimes we are impressed by the quality of the music. Tracks submitted via email have often found their way onto our site via Song of the Day, but we've been wanting to figure out how to share MORE fresh, new music with y'all. Well, we figured it out! Welcome to Fresh Meat, our weekly round-up playlist of fun, new tunes that will have [...]

That new Low track is a hard follow but Should appear to be up to the challenge. Ploughing the same furrow helps of course for 'Glasshouse' is about as quiet as a mouse in a brand new pair of enhanced noise reducing slippers. Also included here is the more dynamic but no less graceful 'Turned Tables'. Both tracks will be included on Should's first album in 13 years 'Like A Fire Without Sound' which we flagged was on its way back in 2007 (worth the wait though). If the evidence on these two tracks is anything to go by the [...]
Mondays are for feeding the pigeons. Should - 'Glasshouse' Art vs. Science - 'Magic Fountain' (Kissy Sell Out remix) Water & Bodies - 'Parallels' Say Hi - 'Dots On Maps' Mazes - 'Vampire Jive'

~ Memory Cassette - "Asleep At A Party" ~ There's such a thing as "newgaze"? Well apparently that's what this is. It's a dreamy, "gazy" song for sure. I love it when she sings "I sleep with one eye open" and the twinkly piano in the background. Amongst many other things I'm too lazy to list right now. Fab tune. ~ VV Brown - "Crying Blood" ~ An upbeat, funky as hell song that everyone should have on repeat. And it if makes you dance like a maniac, [...]
Should - "Feed Like Fishes" Feed Like Fishes is Should's first full-length record — an album of noisy, sedate, and minimal pop songs. Falling somewhere between shoegazer, slowcore, and postrock, Feed Like Fishes is a wonderfully complicated record that echoes the sounds of Yo La Tengo, Slowdive, Bedhead, and Galaxie 500. The album also includes Should's take on The Wedding Present song "Spangle." The album begins with "Fish Fourteen," a fuzzed-out lo-fi instrumental inspired by Colin Newman's instrumental solo record, Provisionally Entitled The Singing Fish. "Sarah Missing" fits perfectly with [...]
Beauty is in the ear of the beholder I guess because I may be alone in thinking Should's 'One Two Feet' is quite masterful. Dischordant, off-kilter and falling over the edge at every turn it is a gripping listen. Taken from the bands post-shoegaze 1995 album 'A Folding Sieve' it is actually a reworking of a song from Kiwi band the Jean Paul Sartre Experience. 'Sarah Missing' finds itself in much
While tracking down another group I shall post later, I found myself at the Words on Music label website and was awfully glad I did. In fact, I?m not really sure if I have words sufficient, so I?ll let the music do the talking. Enjoy. The Lucy Show - Mania Land and the Life mp3 [...]
I probably made a mistake in not including the often overlooked Should in the shoegaze compilation that I put together last month. It happens though, that and I only have so much room to work with. Regardless, I think I’ll make up for it today. Should originally were called shiFt when they first formed in 1995. They later had to change it due to their being another band that was already established under that name. Oddly enough, I’ve posted about that band [...]
Words on Music , das Label, das uns mit dem Re-Release der The Lucy Show-CD beglückt und auch Fiel Garvie unter seinen Fittichen hat, bietet auch für die Freunde des psychedelischen Klanges eine Band, die es Wert ist, gehört zu werden: Should . Bereits in den 90ern fielen sie mir erstmals auf, als sie einen sehr gelungenen Beitrag auf einem Losing Today-Sampler beisteuerten ( «Missing Sarah» ). Ohne Internetvertriebsstruktur blieb es mir damals aber versagt, mich weiter um sie zu kümmern, und so sind sie mir erst jetzt wieder ins Bewusstsein gelangt. Should sind ein Trio aus Austin, das [...]
