Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars Once again, Liam Betson is the man behind the recent Liam the Younger releases. This is his second album under the moniker, finally seeing release (on the same day as the first) after being stored away, then shared with a few friends along the way. While his association with Titus Andronicus is probably an easy point for critics to point at, there's definitely something else going on beneath this set of songs, all of which benefit from an expanded [...]
The Royal Badgers - Lucky Number Nine [Moldy Peaches] | zs watch the original
Abstaining from his former band The Moldy Peaches' proclivity for cheesy love songs (think Juno's "Anyone Else But You"), Toby Goodshank 's most recent release, Truth Jump, is a deeply emotional whirlwind of a record. It clocks in at only a little over 20 minutes but essentially spans the breadth of human emotion, and it's nicely partnered with instrumental surprises that add even more to the already compelling collection of songs.

Kimya Dawson viene haciendo música hace mucho, mucho tiempo. Pero llegó al mainstream , por decirlo de alguna manera, cuando una de las canciones que había hecho bajo el nombre de The Moldy Peaches junto con Adam Green , fue elegida como el soundtrack oficial de una de las películas indie más exitosas de la época: Juno . Para el que no lo recuerde, la canción de la que hablo es "Anyone Else But" . En esta oportunidad la artista terminó de preparar su séptima producción, que llevará el [...]
In case you hadn't completely take notice, it seems that Atlanta is the new Brooklyn, or since it's smaller, it's probably the new Austin, sadly. But, good for the ATL, especially considering they have this great little group, Book Club . The song below comes from the group's record, Ghost , which will be released next week, August 2nd. For me, it sounded like a sad-bastard version of a serious Moldy Peaches tune. But, hold on for lush arrangements, folk texturizing, and you'll be [...]

Today I added another one to the list with this track, "Dig Down Deep" by [...]
Both LA and Brighton have gotten a round of June Gloom this year like nobodies business. So I made this mixtape to help augment the sort of warm melancholy of this kind of gloom. Enjoy. 01 Simon & Garfunkel - April Come She Will 02 Nico - I'll Keep It With Mine 03 Pete Drake [...]
Lovely Eggs From: Another Planet Check out 'Fuck It' the new single from the perennially fantastic and still unfairly underrated Lovely Eggs. It's another dose of perfectly skewed pop from the king and queen of skew that sounds like The Moldy Peaches with tourettes. Go Try Fuck It by thelovelyeggs [...]

Whoa hey strangers! FEELIN' GREAT YO! Hope you are too! ^_^ I'm not long back from a M E N T A L time in Barcelona - that post is coming later this week once my friend Anna has posted me the photos (and my housekeys haha, well done Lucy leaving the one thing you needed more than anything else you packed -slaps forehead-) Anyhoo - this is the INTERIM(MIN') post to that, because I realise my absence is sorely [...]
Fists From: Nottingham, Midlands, United Kingdom Fists were featured back in March last year ( Fist Fighting ) when I described them as rockabilly rebels with a fine line in noisy, ramshackle rock that fizzes like a mouthful of refreshers. Well they've come a long way in 12 short months. They're still noisy and they still have the odd ramshackle rockabilly gem like [...]
![LISTEN/DOWNLOAD :: Kimya Dawson – "Walk Like Thunder" [ft. Aesop Rock] + Tour Dates w/Aesop Rock, Rob Sonic, DJ Big Wiz](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3308123_lg.jpg)
From her forthcoming album Thunder Thighs , Kimya Dawson has released the 10-minute single "Walk Like Thunder" for stream/download. Not only do Dawson's vocals cut straight to the bone (or the heart if you have one,) but the roster of artists included on the track is quite amazing as well! The track features: Kimya Dawson - guitar, vocals Andrew Dorsett - piano Jack Dishel - guitar Nikolai Fraiture - bass Angelo Spencer - guitar [...]
If you stop by MOKB with any frequency, the Only Son handle should be familiar to you . Here's a nice little remix of Someone that dropped in our lap. And as long as we're talkin' Jack Dishel, it deserves mention that he'll be appearing on the Upright Citizens Brigade live radio show with Sarah Silverman on March 11. MP3 : Only Son - Someone (Crazy Pickle Remix)
Squabbles and footnotes aside, in the pages of history books and The FADER, New York rock in the 21st century began with the Strokes. Of course the Strokes always evoked New York rock of the 20th Century, but that was kind of the point. The band captured the city's borrowed nostalgia for a time when [...]
