The latest from Titus Andronicus-alum Andrew Cedermark, "Canis Major" combines the nostalgia-heavy "lazy suburban afternoon" rock of Cedermark's northern New Jersey contemporaries with the psych-pop buoyancy of Grizzly Bear. Cedermark may have the most emphatically "pop" aspirations of the Underwater Peoples collective (which counts Real Estate and Ducktails as members); "Canis Major" borrows from alt-country, guitar-obsessed British indie, and the style of lighthearted groove rock that saw its heyday as sitcom themes throughout the 90s. Taking a big step away from his more isolated earlier work (like the beautifully chilly Moon Deluxe ), "Canis Major" is Cedermark's most approachable [...]

I hadn’t heard of Andrew Cedermark's work before opening an email about his new single, “Canis Major.” Culled from his forthcoming sophomore album, Home Life , which is due out in the middle part of July through Underwater Peoples , the track is a rousing introduction to the artist. As it turns out, Cedermark is the former guitarist for Titus Andronicus, though if you’d only heard this track, you might not be able to tell. On its face, the track reminds me of a cross between Damien Jurado and Andrew Bird, though Cedermark can turn up [...]
It's inevitable that nearly every single Underwater Peoples release will land in our year-end lists in some form or another. The label's aesthetic is clearly on its own level, shaped by the honesty and emotion behind its artists' work. Andrew Cedermark, a former ... Continue reading
Patrick Stickles, frontman of Titus Andronicus , has tweeted the rejected artwork for last year's album, Local Business , as well as a download link to rare vinyl-only live album, The Innocents Abroad . It's been a busy morning on the Titus Andronicus Twitter account . First came the not-to-be first artwork for their last album, viewable above, and then came a link to download an obscure live cut from the band (downloadable here ), finally "liberated from its vinyl prison". [...]
Titus Andronicus frontman Patrick Stickles made the band's vinyl-only live album, The Innocents Abroad via their Twitter account yesterday. The eight track release showcases highlights from their London show in February 2009, with a bias towards songs from the The Airing of Grievances album. Stickles also revealed that the original artwork to Local Business was shelved by label XL due to fear over the anonymous artist making themselves known and suing the label, similar to the problems that Vampire Weekend had over their artwork for [...]
Titus Andronicus revela la portada rechazada de Local Business y regala el único LP en vivo de la banda La cuenta de Twitter de Titus Andronicus es un verdadero relajo, pero con muchos encantos. Durante todo el día, el vocalista Patrick Stickless ha estado publicando anécdotas sobre la historia de la banda, ya sea un enlace al single " #ULTRARARE " 7" actualmente disponible en eBay , o una explicación de por qué la banda desechó la portada original del álbum The Airing [...]
Titus Andronicus' Twitter account is a wonderful thing. All day, frontman Patrick Stickles has been posting anecdotes about the band's history, be it a link to the "#ULTRARARE" 73 single currently available on eBay , or an explanation for why the band scrapped the original artwork for 20082s The Airing of Grievances ("1,000 copies were made with that cover, before Troubleman Unlimited CEO Mike Simonetti had second thoughts... 'Bring me a cover that doesn't look it was designed by a five year old,' he said, hurting the feelings of the fragile [...]

It's unfortunate that The Everly Brothers aren't as fawned upon by the current generation of music fans as the acts that were heavily influenced by them. The duo, who are arguably the most successful recording duo of all-time, were known for their close harmony singing which fused early rock and roll with country and folk, and have been name checked by everyone from Simon & Garfunkel to The Beach Boys to The Beatles. As a way of paying homage to the work of Phil and Don Everly, the duo of Bonnie "Prince" Billy and Dawn McCarthy , [...]
Titus Andronicus at House of Vans in 2012 ( more by Ryan Muir ) The band led by Patrick Stickles will further support local businesses with a 3 song 12" EP they've done for Record Store Day (Saturday April 20, 2013), aptly titled "Record Store Day." This limited edition release includes one Local Business album track- "Still Life with Hot Deuce and Silver Platter" backed with two previously unreleased songs "(I've Got A) Date Tonight," and "The Dog." The genius RSD/Local Business themed sleeve includes pictures of just a few of the many [...]
New Jersey's garage rock titans Titus Andronicus and nearby Brooklyn pals So So Glos will hit the road together again later this month for what they're properly calling the "Bring Back the Dudes Tour". The insanity kicks of April 28th at Hamden's The Space and wraps up May 19th's at DC's Black Cat. Consult the full itinerary. "Some of you may even remember Autumn 2009, when TA and the SSGs teamed up for the original "Bring On the Dudes Tour" , which left a trail of havoc and mayhem from sea to shining sea," [...]

New Jersey-Brooklyn punk band Titus Andronicus announced today via Twitter that they'll be going on tour this Spring with good friends of theirs and ours, The So So Glos. This announcement came with a barage of excitable tweets that are rare for TA frontman Patrick Stickles, so it's clear that the news is a thrill for him and—once again—us, too. The tour is reminiscent of a similar string of shows The So So Glos played with Titus in 2009, a tour they aptly called "Bring ...

Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin It might seem like Björk doesn't tour much anymore - after all, it's been nearly five years since she was last here headlining V Fest 2007 in support of Volta , but that was actually her last album before 20112s Biophilia . So besides the fact that she's been working at a slower pace than when the '90s triumvirate of Debut / Post / Homogenic made her one of the most unconventional pop stars of Alternative [...]

Hello world! Lets get two things straight - one, I'm neurotic as hell, and two, I devour music like a fat kid loves cake, and I love me some cake! Now that we have that out of the way… The lost art of the Mixtape. Remember when you would spend literally hours recording songs to those TDK tapes and trying your goddamned best to not cut the song off before it was actually over? Not only the recording part, but just sequencing the tapes was an art form too. Lest we forget dousing them with black ink penned [...]
Pissed Jeans' Honeys BY JORDAN MAINZER Apparently they’ve been eating the yellow snow . Some of the best music of the past few months has expanded upon the wisecrack-heavy legacy of Tom Waits, Frank Zappa, Leonard Cohen, and The Modern Lovers. From lamenting about job prospects to apologizing for ogling women through punky, sarcastic humor, indie bands have lately avoided the self-righteousness that can occur when rockers explore "important" topics (in other words, these bands are even further from U2 in tone than in sound). [...]
