foi no salão brasil em Coimbra, através da Associação Lugar Comum , que vi pela primeira vez o trio americano, The Dodos. o concerto foi contagiante pois a energia que eles conseguiram passar para a plateia foi tremenda. rapidamente estávamos todos rendidos à perfomance e às músicas, que não cessavam num continuo, quase sofrego de percussão e voz. este ano aparecem com o álbum "no color", que numa primeira análise até está em conformidade com a capa, que apresenta uma fotografia a preto e branco, mas lá dentro a coisa muda de figura. continuam [...]
Raise your right hand in the air, put your left hand over your heart and repeat after me: "I love Indie Rock." If Indie Rock (particularly new Indie Rock) is something that truly tickles your pickle, then The Indie Sabbath has a present in store for you that will stimulate your senses in a new and tantalizing way every week. Sometimes we need a break from the everyday grind - the worship of a job you hate, your school which you despise and all those other systematic functions our society has been dragged in to. Let [...]
New Album: Peter Wolf Crier - Garden Of Arms Originally having come across as a frenzied and organic indie folk duo in a vein of similar stature and association to that of perhaps The Dodos, Peter Wolf Crier appear to have diluted their acoustic roots in favour of something glitchy and electronic, Radiohead-esque in form and stream-lined for innovation. Perhaps it is then fitting that as they release their second consecutive LP via the consistently forward-thinking Jagjaguwar Records in the US, they mould more and more to the boundary-pushing guitar music which the [...]
The Dodos at Bowery Ballroom in June ( more by Amanda Hatfield ) The Dodos announced a tour with The Luyas back in June. That tour was originally scheduled to hit Webster Hall on September 13 but has since been moved to Music Hall of Williamsburg and will happen one day earlier (9/12) . All Webster Hall tickets will be honored and tickets are now on sale for the Music Hall of Williamsburg show too. [...]
The NYC duo Chappo received some recognition last year with "Come Home", a summertime psych-rock jam with a shimmering quality reminiscent of alt-rock groups like Teenage Fanclub and The New Radicals. The track was an excellent expansion of several genres; jangly guitars provide the power-pop background, while hints of Neil Young-inspired southern-rock lead just prior [...]
![[Album Review/Listen] – The Dodos – "No Color"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3608501_lg.jpg)
Tweet Buy the album from Amazon - Vinyl / MP3 / CD There's something in my genes that loves percussion at a deep and primal level. I can't explain it much further than this: I remember my dad drumming along on the steering wheel to anything he was listening to. He never sang or hummed along to the melodies, just drummed it out. Also, my younger brother taught himself [...]
C'è qualcosa di sinceramente inesplicabile nell'ultimo disco dei Dodos , che per l'occasione hanno richiamato in regia il produttore John Askew , già artefice della decisiva svolta al suono della band in Visiter . Meric Long e Logan Kroeber sono due musicisti eccezionali, ormai in maniera conclamata e ribadita, sino allo sbandieramento che Kroeber ha fatto pubblicamente dei propri studi sulle percussioni africane, dopo che il suo socio aveva, sin dal primo disco, in pratica riscritto l'utilizzo del fingerpicking . Può una somma di fattori di così elevata caratura produrre [...]

Tweet Buy the album from Amazon - Vinyl / MP3 / CD Tapes 'n Tapes have had a strange journey so far - they began as a buzz band with hype pumped full of saline solution by Pitchfork and an appearance at SXSW. Then they signed to XL Recordings and released a second album, which didn't seem to scratch the same itch. When a band's career explodes at an [...]
As 2011 continues to fly by, we thought it would be helpful to release our list of the best that this year has had to offer in terms of new music.

What does the second half of 2011 have in store for us? We shall [...]

Por Eric Olsen La historia se repite una y otra vez. La banda saca su primer disco consagrándose como la nueva revelación, el disco que será recordado hasta que se separen como "el primero" , "el único" , "el fresco" , "el original" . La banda saca un segundo disco y al no poder alcanzar las expectativas, se van de a poco marchitando en el olvido. ¡Pero no desesperéis! Si los egos de la banda no aguantan la tensión y disuelven la banda, siempre podemos contar con el gran regreso después de [...]
This year is over halfway over? Unbelievable. I haven't even put away all of my winter clothes and the summer is sweating through the windows. The whirlwind year has spit me out just in time to list out a few of my top songs of 2011. Making this list was difficult in part because when [...]

If my top songs of the year have any indication of anything, it's been an interesting and eclectic year for music. Many of the biggest artists in music released albums in the first part of this year, which has made it one of the most exciting starts to a year I can think of in [...]

This collection of New York, LA, and San Fransiscan musicians known as NewVillager has been tickling my eardrums all day. Truth be told I JUST DISCOVERED THEM, and upon my first listen my reaction was something like this: iPod Settings > Repeat > Album and on my third time through I'm tellin' you... I'm not [...]
