Clearly one of the most popular indie bands of the past six months, LA's surf pop band Best Coast drop their new album this week, Crazy For You. The LP is filled to the brim with edgy, quasi-garage style indie pop rock that creates the framework for the the female equivalent of Brian Wilson's golden [...] Related posts:Five Anticipated Summer Releases, Vol. III: Washed Out, Sparklehorse & Danger Mouse, Chief, Jaill, and Menomena In Dee Mail 2010, Vol. IV: Neon Indian Produces New Miniature Tigers' Track; Plus, Here We Go Magic, The Morning Code & More Downbeat Electronica [...]
That song title might sound familiar to you and if you've been reading this site for the last couple of months or so then you've probably even seen it on here. That's because it's a cover of the always excellent L.A. band The Delta Mirror. I posted about The Shimmies back at the start of July and mentioned back then that they have a pretty good relationship with The Delta Mirror, two of the guys from the band guest-vocalarisering on The Delta Mirror's "He Was Worse Than The Needle He Gave You", and now they're covering [...]

It's pretty sweet when a band you really like starts recommending new music to you. That's what Craig from The Delta Mirror did with The Shimmies. Not only did he recommend them but he even sent me a couple of their songs too. The four-piece are from a land far far away in Dagobah System, California, their sound reminiscent of Grizzly Bear meets Conor Oberst meets a Jeff Buckley-fronted Band Of Horses. High-arching guitar build-ups, resonating vocals and drum skins hit like they're going out of fashion make their upcoming album "To All Beloved Enemies" sound like a [...]

auf das album "to all beloved enemies" dieses höchst sympathischen vierers aus kalifornien bin ich sehr gespannt, es wird am 27.07. als selfrelease erscheinen, die vorschau ist schon einmal klasse: the shimmies - judas ganz frisch auf matinée ist das zweite full length "i shouldn’t look as good as i do" der seattler band, das album "is a smashing collection of ten new pop gems, chock full of the chiming guitars and sweet melodies", schreibt das label, wir können das nur beflissentlich abnicken, nickt [...]

House Shoes and The Find Mag get together to bless us all with a mix sure to warm the heart & spirit. Because that's the type of guy Shoes is. The kind of guy to gladly let you crash on his couch, give you the shirt off his back and give you the type of mixes made for loungin' around the house on Saturday mornings...or gettin' shitfaced and amped before you head to the club on Saturday night. Pick your poison. If you aren't already, you should surely be [...]
