Awesome new EP from ITDE favourite Huxley. Out now through Hypercolour. Grab it at Juno.
I just finished reading the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson. A friend of mine asked if the book had anything to do with music, which of course it does. We're all familiar with the software and products such as iTunes, iPods and iPhones. Jobs was a Dylan fan in the early days and collected tapes of shows. He worked with Bono to help promote U22s song "Vertigo" off the album How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb and, as one of his final goals in life, brought the Beatles catalog to iTunes. But after reading this book, it [...]

Photo by Cora Rivera The members of Cheers Elephant have just announced that they will release the band's third album, Like Wind Blows Fire , on April 24th. The local psych-pop quartet will celebrate the release with a performance at World Cafe Live on March 2nd before heading out on the road for a handful of dates scattered throughout March (including a pair of shows in Austin for SXSW). You can listen to the track "Doin' It, Right" off Like Wind Blows Fire below. Cheers Elephant's Key Studio Session can be found [...]
Kelly Kurteson http://www.kellykurteson.com/ White Birds release their debut full length, When Women Played Drums today. Born out of the ashes of Drink Up Buttercup, White Birds are James Harvey, Farzad Houshiarnejad, Mike Cammarata and Chris Radwanski. Where the music of Drink Up was quirky psychedelic pop, White Birds' songs are lush sounding, reverbed pop tunes that bring to mind Fleet Foxes and the Beach Boys. While the band's gorgeous harmonies are enveloped by a Phil Spector-esque "Wall Of Sound," the songs never get lost in [...]
Over the course 10 years and seven albums, Dr. Dog has spent a lot of time looking back. Back to the old days (as we heard on 20082s Fate ), or back to see where all the shadow people have gone (on 20102s Shame, Shame ). It's funny, then, when an album touted as the band's big look back, a return to its own old days—to the fuzzy, buzzing tones and minimally-produced immediacy of home recordings and 2005's Easy Beat— finds Dr. Dog more in the now than ever before. "I don't want to [...]
I have been looking forward to Jenny Owen Young's latest album, AN UNWAVERING BAND OF LIGHT, for quite some time. But once she started playing songs from the new record during her StageIt shows, I have been desperate for it. It was pretty obvious that it was going to be fantastic. It did not disappoint. Exactly ten seconds into the new record, I had to stop what I was doing to spam Twitter and Facebook with how perfect it was. Overall, the album demonstrates a new musical direction for JOY. The opening of "Love for [...]
After burning bright on Philly's indie scene for two solid years, local popsters Post Post fizzled out somewhere around late 2010/early 2011. Thankfully, that band's jangley guitars and uplifting melodies continue in a post-Post Post project, Little Big League . Singer-guitarist Michelle Zauner and bassist Kevin O'Halloran carry the torch, teaming up with friends from Titus Andronicus (Ian Dykstra on drums) and Strand Of Oaks (Deven Craige on guitar). To date their only release has been the single "Tokyo Drift", today's Philly Local Phile that you can grab a free download of below. You definitely hear Zauner's songwriting stylings [...]
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and to celebrate this year, XPN mid-day host Helen Leicht has curated a collection of 14 songs recorded by local bands.

When we last checked in with Everyone Everywhere bassist Matt Scottoline, he had just released a set of free music by what we thought was a one-off side project, Hurry . The lofty Slowdive-esque fuzz and whimsical arrangements of the EP instantly hooked us, and apparently, they had the same effect on Scottoline. Some sporadic demos and samplers later, Hurry is now streaming its debut full-length on Bandcamp and making its live debut opening for Slow Club at Johnny Brenda's . Give the set a listen below, and catch the show this Wed. Feb. 15; Hurry [...]
ANCIENT METHODS, 2012 // 123 / BUY: VINYL The latest transmission from Berlin-based techno imprint Ancient Methods (#6) serves up three tracks of looped, no-nonsense industrial techno courtesy of Ugandan Methods - a collaboration project of Regis (Karl O'Connor, aka Ugandan Speed Trials) and Ancient Methods . Truth be told, most of the AM stuff is way too heavy for my taste but this EP pulls the right strings. Devastating, especially the A-side.

Alex Yaker is one of those way-busy Philadelphia musicians. Most recently, you've probably seen him rock his bass-playing swagger in Summer Fiction. In the past he's performed with Grammar Debate, The Yaker Bros and done a bit of production with Surreal Sound Studios. With everything going on, it's not unsurprising that his own project, Roomtone , only makes periodic appearances, but whenever it emerges, it's worth the wait. This weekend, the band Yaker also refers to as "The Official Indie BossaNova Goosebump Machine" plays its first show in over a year and a half at Johnny Brenda's, [...]
Swedish sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg make up the haunting duo that is First Aid Kit. Their sophomore album, The Lion's Roar is layered with light and airy tunes that are driven by vocals. The fact that they are sisters is evident on the album; their vocals complement each other, and harmonize so well that at times, it's hard to tell which sister is singing. What makes The Lion's Roar a beautiful album though, is it's perfect curation. The songs aren't too repetitive, there is a nice variety, despite a few of the lyrics sounding a [...]

When I originally discovered the music from the solo project of Paris songwriter Stéphane Milochevitch I described Thousand (his musical nom de guerre ) by stating that his music exhibits all of the qualities of a glass of fine red wine: it is bold, smooth, and a little spicy. I'd add that like a good red wine, his music also demonstrates a subtle complexity of flavor that makes it particularly satisfying. Milochevitch's baritone is woodsy and cedar-infused and the songs he composes are blended together with the thoughtfulness of a master vinter to reveal the mystery of [...]
