By Chris Gedos Mrs. Magician's Strange Heaven LP is a great surf-rock offering for those waiting for the weather to break in colder climes. The previously posted "There Is No God" is still the centerpiece, but there's six or seven tracks which will make solid secondary singles, one of which is "The Spells", a lazy 21st C. "Doctor Robert" + "Love Potion #9". Mrs. Magician isn't really a hit-you-with-the-first-lick sort of band; their advanced lyricism and understated instrumentation (no solo battles here) [...]

Here's a brand new jam by Gaurav aka Kansas post-hypnagogia psych enigma C V L T S as a first taste from his forthcoming Foam Daze EP that should be out any day now via his own rad imprint Beer On The Rug . If the music happens to sound strangely familiar, that's cause it indeed is an extremely slow version of the song " Under Your Spell " by Italians Do It Better act Desire .

Take a listen to one of the cuts from C V L T S ' Foam Daze EP called 'Under Yr Spell' - which is all sorts of incredible - especially if you like that M83 vibe, which we do...obviously.
Feed Me - The Spell i do not own the song, it is property of Feed Me and Mau5trap records.

The 7th of February is an important day for hip-hop. In 1974 J Dilla was born in Detroit, United States, whilst on the same day and the same year Nujabes was born in Tokyo, Japan. Who could have known on that day what a great gift was being handed to music lovers across the globe, with hip-hop still in it's infancy, two of it's greatest children had just been born. Not only would their talents remain bound through a shared love for progressive hip-hop, but even their deaths became symbolically linked as they both passed in the month of February. [...]
After 14 months of recording Naomi Punk' s second full-length is ready to follow their self-titled debut from 2009. The Feeling will be out on April 23, via Couple Skate Records . Naomi Punk isn't just another typical Seattle punk-rock band, though their aim is to expand those parameters far past the outer limits and to revive the spirit and ethos of legends like This Mortal Coil, Nirvana and the Wipers.

Words by Brendan I like The Happy Hollows so much that the opening guitar/bass riff to "Faces" is my ringtone. Seriously, call me. We'll talk about this rockin' trio and their snappy tunes and their wild videos. What, you don't have my number? Guess you better keep reading ... The Happy Hollows / Faces The Happy Hollows / Big Bad Wolf The Happy Hollows / Meteors I really can't even [...]

By Amelia R. Hart Why do musicians — particularly singer-songwriters — get termed "elusive" just because they don't relish commenting on their already deeply wrought self-expression? Isn't the act of putting the thoughts that keep you awake at night to song and then singing them in front of a large room full of people revealing enough? What more do you want, indie-rock fans? A kidney? Cass McCombs is one of those Elusive Artists. At least, so say his press clippings. He's recently taken to conducting all interviews via snail mail. And at some point [...]

And now three reasons to stop, drop and roll on over to Subterranean tonight... 1. For those that miss the White Stripes' version of nu-blues, you'll probably want to check out Champaign's The Dirty Feathers . The influence of Jack White is very apparent on their new record, Midnight Snakes , which features rambunctious rockers like "Echo Hands" and "Midnight Snakes" that offers heavy piano groove that's more in the Raconteurs territory. But The Dirty Feather can stretch their wings into different territory such as on "Blue Flame" that [...]

We've had recorded music long enough so that a chart of the history of a certain sound is starting to look kind of Escher-esque. In this case, it's a sound that was popular in the late 80s and early 90s that was based on British bands that were indebted to their New Wave forebearers, which inspires Anglophile Americans to ape that same sound that then gets re-loved 20 years later by another group of Americans. And there's a staircase that connects with itself somewhere in there. The early 902s retro sound first popped into my ears last year [...]

Rarely do you come across a producer that juggles the art of making music that's fresh and forward thinking, yet not alienating to dance floors as well as Bordeaux's Noob does. The frequent Turbo Recordings and Boys Noize Records collaborator has turned to Sound Pellegrino for the release of his latest EP Spell. The title track is a house meets garage jam with just enough snare to make you want to lose your shit in the classiest of ways. A spaced out, almost [...]
![[Listen/Download] Holiday Shores- Spells](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3721294_lg.jpg)
by teepoo Since I don't have school go back to I'll continue imagining myself on a tropical island, with this song to accompany me. Here we have a group called Holiday Shores from Florida. This track will come off their October release, New Masses for Squaw Peak . Spells has that sort of surf-pop sound with a smooth almost jazz bass line. I don't even know how to explain this track exactly, except that it makes me think of the sun and of the beaches [...]
If you're an indie rock-inclined human being of a certain age, there's a good chance you've been checking for updates on the Wild Flag album the same way 14-year-old girls are checking for updates on the Hunger Games movie. Here's why: Wild Flag's members include Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss, which means two thirds of Sleater-Kinney are back together ! It also includes Mary Timony, which means all of the Spells are back together ! (Did you ever hear The Age Of Backwards , the 1999 EP from the Brownstein/Timony side project? You [...]
PRE-ORDER THE ALBUM, 'NEW MASSES FOR SQUAW PEAK', HERE
Craft Spells was founded by Justin Vallesteros, who is from the Seattle area, started as a solo project, but eventually formed a band consisting of his homies Jack Doyle Smith (bass), Javier Suarez (guitar), and Peter Michel (drums) to get this thing goin. I don't know what you would call these guys, gut to me it has a 802s vibe with some chill electro-pop feel. You be the judge, but add it to your summer soundtrack before the summer leaves before it even got here. [...]

On their second full-length, Chicago's The Laureates stick to their strengths - rough-and-tumble garage rock with a power pop sheen. The songs on Spells are energetic and wild, but the band never lets things get too out of hand and know when to pull back. The result is crunchy guitars and punchy rhythms in quite an accessible format. As the saying goes, if it ain't broke don't fix it. The last time The Laureates released original material was in the form on [...]
