Even attempting to cover one or two every week, I’m still not able to keep up with all of the amazing record releases in Chicago. This week though, we’ve got a double whammy. Hollows and Coffin Pricks will be releasing vinyl on the same night, at the same show. Lucky us. Grab all of the details about the releases and Thursday’s show at the Subterranean , below. Chicago indie pop quintet Hollows released their debut in 2010, and [...]
coffin pricks In a world filled with dubstep DJs and party rock anthems, Chicago punks Coffin Pricks are standing tall under the banner of "unchill wave." Coffin Pricks take a page or two from bands like Mission of Burma and Husker Du by displaying speed and agility while maintaining a minimalist punk approach. Because of this, the lead track on the group's recent EP, "Group Home Haircut," isn't overly intimidating. There's enough melody and catchy guitar parts to compel listeners to dance while the back beats crackle at [...]

i just googled "random," and this dog photo was like the 6th thing. so, i went with it. its funny, times are a changing in the music blog world. a year or so ago, people were offering up songs with pretty much every email. nowadays, its just news and tour dates. honestly, if youre in a band, and more or less a local one at that, do yourself a favor and include a song to share. bloggers are so much more willing to report on you if they can actually hear what you sound like. its not rocket science. anyway, [...]
Vivian Girls Katy Goodman and Cassie Ramone were quite productive a year ago. Each just released side project albums as well as a full-length from the band , which was supported by a tour. Now, Goodman is back with a second album, Sees the Light , from her solo effort, La Sera . Yet, another original member of the band - former drummer Frankie Rose - is grabbing the most attention with her new release, Interstellar . Rose, who plays Township in [...]
Chicago's Hollows are secretly winning me over with their recently released Vulture LP on Trouble in Mind Records . The lead single is just ridiculously solid, reminiscent of a more innocent version (and possibly less extravagant) Camera Obscura . There's still touches of orchestration on these songs, but they're more scaled back, giving the vocals the ability to soar as they should. I have a feeling that once you give this track a few listens you'll get just as excited as I [...]
Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that this Saturday, April 21, is the fourth annual Record Store Day . Like the past three years, record stores around the country are offering exclusive releases, great deals, free goodies and even in-store performances for Saturday's celebration of independently owned record stores. The event is even better if you live in Chicago because there are many great record stores strewn across the city, but it's hard to keep count of which one is doing what. Therefore, once again , we've done the dirty work for you in this [...]
è uscito ieri per Trouble In Mind l’album Vulture degli Hollows - quattro ragazze e un ragazzo da Chicago:
Here are a few MP3s of songs from some of the better albums released this week: Kishi Bashi – “It All Began with a Burst” from 151a Estrogen Highs – “I Wanna Be Tall” from Irrelevant Future Hollows – “V...
It is happening again. After two dormant weeks of doing virtually nothing (OK, very little is more like it), evenings this week were spent spinning vinyl by The Smiths and painting Andi's sewing room in preparation for putting in the bamboo flooring this weekend. Next up will be my record room, which will be a big pain; moving thousands of CDs, LPs and 73 Singles is not a task I will find enjoyable (hence the top photo). But the finished product will be the ultimate reward. I digress. [...]
Some good stuff in here for the open-minded, after all our Weekly Download doesn't drop into one specific genre. There's a bit of everything this week from gangsta-bluegrass to electronic-rock. Most notable here is Austin Paul who seems to string together beats pretty easily. I don't know much about the guy and you probably don't either, so head on over to his official page and learn more. There's also a nice rendition of The Beatles "Ticket To Ride" by Benjamin Francis Leftwich . We're all about covers, so this [...]
Hollows When we last heard from Hollows , the quintet was trying to get us into a tasty summer groove with their head boppin' single " Hot Sand ." Now the group is back with some new tunes on its sophomore album, Vulture . The album's first single "V for Vultures" may be Hollows most serious song yet with its somber, steady vibe and mini-orchestra backing singer Maria Jenkins' earnest and thoughtful vocals. The song is rounded out plenty of dense drum beats and Jenkins' familiar organ looping throughout. [...]

Com estreia pelo site NPR , a Björk divulgou clipe para Hollow , faixa presente no seu aplicativo lançado no ano passado. A cantora teve ajuda do biomédico Drew Berry para criar este novo vídeo, que traz imagens de células, vasos sanguíneos, citoplasma e outros componentes do corpo da própria Björk. "É o sentimento de quando você começa a pensar nos seus ancestrais e DNA e, com isso, você consegue sentir sua mãe, e a mãe dela e a mãe dela de 30 mil anos atrás. Todos esses fantasmas aparecem e é [...]
