Remember way back…back when we were talking about the best of 2012 releases? Hard to believe it was nearly six months ago. At any rate, I rambled on about a few bands back then, one of which happens to be spinning (even more) incessantly on my turntable since I had the pleasure of seeing them live last weekend. It’s a rarity for me to attend a gig in the early months of spring, a time which seems, somehow, year after year, to be reserved for bands playing arenas while the little guys (my guys?) get prepped for the [...]

Roxanne of Veronica Falls and Jess of Brilliant Colors have joined forces to form Baggy Attitude . Their first track together “Don’t Ask Me” is swaying indie-pop that is tailor-made for the warming Spring days. The joyous output will have it impossible not to smile throughout. The 7” of the track can be ordered through Wacky Wacko.

One half Veronica Falls and the other Brilliant Colours, leaves us with Baggy Attitude, who've just dropped new track "Don't Ask Me". continue reading >>
Da de tre venner Björn Lydén, Nikolaj Thorenfeldt og Søren Christensen i 2004 slog dørene op for den første udgave af Aarhus-festivalen Pop Revo, foregik det i Musikcafeens hyggelige rammer. Blandt de optrædende fandt man flotte navne som legendariske The Clientele , shoegaze-popperne i The Radio Dept. og danske Oh No Ono . Fra og med i morgen spilles der så op til poprevolution for tiende gang, når Pop Revo løber af stablen på spillestederne Voxhall og Atlas. Festivalen har valgt at vende tilbage til rødderne fra 2004 og sprede sig over tre dage. [...]

Matt Spalding At the risk of being overly literal, it probably goes without saying that a band called Editors would hardly be averse to making changes. But the Birmingham band's decision to push synthesizers to the fore on their third album, 20092s In This Light And On This Evening , might have been a little more stylistic revision than they or their fans bargained for. It didn't fare nearly as well, commercially-speaking, as either of its predecessors - fans apparently preferred them when they were aping Joy Division rather than New [...]

einiges versprach, dass es ein guter abend werden würde. endlich mal wieder mit dem töchterchen um die häuser ziehen, dazu stand an, christoph vom konzerttagebuch kennenlernen und mit mazes und veronica falls gleich zwei veritable londoner bands sehen zu dürfen. das resümee vorweg genommen. es wurde ein schöner abend. die tochter hatte spaß, das treffen mit christoph war erfrischend ( herzlichen gruß! ) und die besuchten bands hatte alle mühe damit, mir nicht zu gefallen. dazu war das orangehouse endlich einmal wieder gut gefüllt, um gerechtigkeit gegenüber künstlern walten zu lassen, die [...]

es gibt durchaus glückliche fügungen und in diesem fall sind es gleich zwei davon: zum einen, dass in dem tourpaket, gefüllt mit mazes aus manchester und veronica falls aus london in naher zukunft gleich zwei indiepop-diamanten live zu erleben sind...

Friday Films returns, but without a video of the week - enjoyable as they all are, none of the quartet below seemed bold or bright enough to quite merit that heady accolade... Sohn - Bloodflow Despite all the lovely settings she finds herself in, Sohn (who I once called male ) doesn't move anything more than an eyebrow here. So it's a gently haunting song with a gently freaking video. (via Skeletory ) Click here to view the embedded video. [...]

"Have you ever been here before? Did anyone got married next door?" jokes drummer Patrick Doyle to a brimming Islington Assembly Hall, a venue whose atmosphere, high ceilings and psychedelic projections on the walls seem custom made for Veronica Falls. New album opener 'Tell Me' is chosen to start the set, followed by an "old new one", 'My Heart Beats'. Then, after a fringe-banging moment with crowd-pleaser 'Beachy Head' they return to the newbies with the sorrowful sweetness of 'Broken Toy' and if that chorus isn't enough to leave the attendant crowd humming, the quartet will make [...]

Frode & Marcus I get why people have such affection for Shout Out Louds' 2005 debut Howl Howl Gaff Gaff ; the way it tapped into the scrappy, garage-rock sound in vogue at the time but rather than the insouciant attitude that typically came with the aesthetic, it offered a wide-eyed and sincere charm and stood apart from the pack for it. That said, it was only with 20072s Our Ill Wills , which polished up their pop and expanded it to widescreen dimensions, that I [...]
Veronica Falls share video for title track to new album. Veronica Falls have released a video for the title track to their sophomore album, Waiting For Something To Happen. The album is out...
Welcome back to Friday, folks! And what a week it has been. Our hearts go out to everyone in Boston, and may the second bomber be apprehended soon so Bostonians can go back to being awesome, as they've proven to be yet again in the face of these horrible events, ...

Anna Isola Crolla If you were thinking that Friday meant another housecleaning, link-aggregating post - this time from all points abroad - then you are correct. You get a cookie. From someone else. I have no cookies to give. Nor do I technically have the new single from Camera Obscura to give, since it's not mine to allocate, but since it was rolled out in streamable form to the internet earlier this week, I can certainly point you to it. It comes from their forthcoming fifth album Desire Lines , and while it's [...]
