This is a week of indie rock kids' dreams. Just a few highlights to expect this week include new releases from Xiu Xiu , Ty Segall , and Black Moth Super Rainbow . And that's just scratching the surface! We're excited for mumps, etc. from Why? , for instance (pictured). But it's not just a good week for the indie rockers, I mean even Rick Springfield is back with a new release. There's also A Fine Frenzy and Bad Books to look forward to. We don't have room [...]
It took a bit longer this week to put it altogether because we've also been working on the Top DIY Releases of the Week playlist to be posted later today, including fantastic new singles from Moon Duo, The Valery Trails, The Ecstatics, Pontoons, My Empire of Sound, and more. Plus, earlier in the week, we [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
I know Why? are much too clever for me, offering a wealth of lyrical intrigue that requires much more time that I can afford them. There are hip hop leanings too which I find off-putting because I have yet to get that particular genre. So the only time their tunes tend to permeate is when the melodies are free-flowing and the words don't get in the way of a song that can be enjoyed without several dozen trips down google way. How uneducated of me you might say but there are enough Yoni fanboys out there to illustrate his undoubted [...]

“i don't wear rubbers and i don’t wear sunscreen.”
Yoni Wolf has big plans for retirement: “Your mom, she sits while her hair is in curlers / Smokes weed and listens to that Garrison Keillor / That’s how I’ll live when I quit my rap career / Let her laughter pass the rafters and go out into the atmosphere.” This is “Strawberries,” the second official single off of Mumps, Etc. , the fourth full-length album from Wolf’s crew, better known as WHY? The group has always straddled genres in a way that makes anyone describing their music uncomfortable—critics often grasp [...]

Among the new album releases out today: the Mountain Goats' Transcendental Youth and Mumps, etc . from Why? Here's a taste from each album: Cry for Judas - The Mountain Goats Jonathan's Hope - Why?
This week, our top releases are really across the board. We've got WHY?'s pseudo-hip-hop charm balanced with the symphonic feel of Sun Airway , Matt & Kim's high-energy alternative rock and Taken By Trees' mellow, Hawaiian vibes. The Mountain Goats released their fourteenth studio album, Muse their sixth and The Vaccines their second. We've got a great mix going here, and I'm certain there's something for everyone to enjoy. From their formation in 2005, Brooklyn duo [...]
As it turns out, the setting to the latest album by The Mountain Goats , topping this week's list of new releases, just so happens to be our own Washington State. On Transcendental Youth , John Darnielle locates the narrator - lost, alone, and "fighting the urge to just stop fighting at all" - in the gloomy Pacific Northwest to further emphasize his desperation. While we Seattleites might take exception to that - it's fabulous here in August and September! - there's no denying what our Music Director, Don Yates, calls "an emotionally powerful set of smartly crafted [...]
Genre-bending rockers WHY? lead the best parade ever in their new video for “Strawberries,” the second single from the group's upcoming album Mumps, Etc. The video is an all-out happy fest that goes just nicely with the track's whistling and tinkering xylophones. The camera zeroes in on Yoni Wolf as he leads a colorful crew, all the while proclaiming “I am not okay, boys.” Here’s to hoping this festive block party cheers him up a bit. Mumps, Etc. is due October 2 via Anticon , [...]
In this edition: Some Real Ramblings about Cat Power, Kool Moe Dee and Big Daddy Kane. Plus videos from Canyons, Grizzly Bear, Simian Mobile Disco, WHY?, and Wilco. Some Real Ramblings For a long time, I've called the Sunday post "Ramblings & Considerations." There was a time when I actually rambled. Today, I will revive that tradition... I've been wanting to write this for a while. It's a bit of a dump on myself. I am afraid the old professor is a bit [...]
photo by Dave Lichterman As Amanda Palmer found out and, now Animal Collective's Deacon is discovering, crowd-sourced fundraising ain't as easy as it seems. In late 2009, Deacon, aka Josh Dibb, visited Mali, met with supporters of the anti-slavery movement and was invited to perform the Festival in the Desert. Inspired to apply his creative energies toward supporting the region, Deacon set up a his Kickstarter campaign to raise money by offering a book and CD of new music to donors, but after three years later and $25,000 [...]

Why? - Jonathan's Hope Why? - White English Let's go ahead and give Yoni Wolf and his weirdo Why? project a lil' bit more love on this one - if not for the highly anticipated and upcoming live performance here in town (all pandering-to-the-locals-like) - then definitely for this quirky new full-length full of more nerdy vocal acrobatics and staggering hip-pop-esque beats with uncomfortable-yet-alluring time-signature changes and twinkling percussion and plunking piano goodness .
