On the list this year are Savoir Adore , Anamanaguchi , The Albertans , Darlings , Pow Wow! , Xylos , the Beets , and Emanuel & the [...]

Mollie Goldstrom Xylos - "This House We Built" Xylos advertise themselves as friends of Yeasayer and indeed it's easy to imagine that Xylos have a lot of friends; a lot of people who come over for bottles of beer and Settlers of Catan, listening to Yo La Tengo and Animal Collective, going out to the balcony for a smoke, leaving a sketch of a peacock on one of Aaron's rolling-papers.

Xylos - "This House We Built" . Xylos advertise themselves as friends of Yeasayer and indeed it's easy to imagine that Xylos have a lot of friends; a lot of people who come over for bottles of beer and Settlers of Catan, listening to Yo La Tengo and Animal Collective, going out to the balcony for a smoke, leaving a sketch of a peacock on one of Aaron's rolling-papers.

Finally we dug deep in our mailbox to reveal the cream of the crop we got sent in the last month. Electronic Xylos - In the Bedroom Brooklyn five piece Xylos fuses tropical sounds with happy-go-lucky indie pop songwriting. You can download their debut 5 song EP on their band site . More Xylos on Deli Magazine . Diego Bernal - Bring it on home Exponential artist Diego Bernal is a San Antonio, TX based civil [...]
I know I once again flaked on posting, but I've had a cold for the past couple of weeks that just doesn't know when to leave. Kind of like the creepy, wasted guy at the afterparty who can't seem to catch a hint. I'm feeling quite well today, so I took advantage of the better health and spent pretty much this entire day catching up on email and snail mail submissions. And to make up for my delay, today's post is going to be a massive one. I hate to say that I won't be able to give [...]
It's not often I come across free and legal music. It's even rarer when I stumble into free and legal music that's good. Enter New York's Xylos who currently have their EP Bedrooms up for free download on their site . What are you waiting for - GO GET IT . Xylos, a five piece, was started as a vehicle for the solo work of Eric Zellier and the EP primarily features him on all parts of the songs though he does get some help with vocals from Ira Wolf Tuton and Anand Wilder [...]
So here comes the weekend! Baltimore has some sweet happenings that I thought I'd mention. The Ottobar has Longwave, Colourmusic, and the Payola Reserve while the Recher Theatre has the Drive-By Truckers. Down in DC the 9:30 Club has Lionize and The Players while the Black Cat has Junior League Band, Hoots and Hellmouth and O'Tasty. Also don't forget that Bryan Scary and the Shredding Tears are playing the Rock and Roll Hotel . Not too far from there in Vienna, Virginia Nicole Reynolds plays Jammin Java with Chris Pureka and [...]
DeVotchka (Photo From Band's Myspace) All the holidays are long over, the madness that was DC earlier this week has passed and I have finally situated myself into a new apartment and secured an internet connection. Now I can get you the low down on what to check out this weekend in the IA area. Not much on the multi-stop front. Most already played elsewhere earlier this week or are coming soon to your town. That said, there are plenty of shows worth seeing. Friday [...]

Here's some catchy & melodic indie pop from NYC band Xylos, from their debut EP called Bedrooms - which you can snag for free here. Xylos - In The Bedroom Here's some lovely indie folk from DM Stith, from the...
Xylos - "In The Bedroom" Xylos may hail from New York but their music is like a concentrated dose of California sunshine. When I hear this song all I can think about is an oceanside jam session complete with palm trees and Coronas. For those of us stuck in cold, wintry places, it's the perfect mental escape. "In The Bedroom" is off their EP Bedrooms , which can be downloaded for free at their official site .
Quando un caro amico ti ospita nel suo adorato blog chiedendoti di esprimere le tue preferenze in fatto di uscite discografiche, per quanto riguarda il 2008 che ormai volge al termine, è impossibile tirarsi indietro. E' un gioco, ma anche un bel modo di ripercorrere con la mente un altro anno ricco di ascolti, che come sempre qualcosa dentro di importante ti hanno lasciato. E allora eccola l'agognata classifica del 2008: con l'augurio che il 2009 sia foriero di altrettante soddisfazioni. Ma sono sicuro che il mio "pusher" preferito, Giuseppe, sarà in grado di assecondare questa ormai incurabile "addiction". [...]
The last mixtape of 2008, and it's late. I know- but I was without my laptop this week, making it difficult to pull all the pieces together (and perhaps a little too partied out to even think about mixes). Anyway, this is the last mixtape of 2008, the third year that I've done the whole SFFM thing! It's hard to believe that it's been going this long. Though I didn't really get started until February or March the first year, I'll be rolling over the 200's next week to create volume 301! I'll try to be on time [...]
arch woodmann life is a snow ball 2008 xylos yellow flip-flops 2008 (française version) J'étais assis. A regarder la fine ligne rouge du thermomètre descendre. En arrière-plan, dans un ciel bleu acier les nuages traversaient la fenêtre d'est en ouest. Signe de vent glacial. J'ai mis de la musique. J'ai rentré du [...]
We've been mired in a fairly long cold spell here in Northern Wisconsin with no quick end in sight. Luckily, we've got hot chocolate and the warm, breezy, and at times, tropical sound that is the New York band Xylos for listening this Sunday afternoon. The Bedrooms EP , available as a free download over at the band's site, features 5 tracks from the New York pop group, and features vocals by another great New York band, Yeasayer . If you're in the Big Apple, you can catch Xylos January 24th at [...]
Gli Xylos sono un quintetto folk pop preveniente da Brooklyn, N.Y. e recentemente hanno pubblicato un E.P., intitolato "Bedrooms", scaricabile gratuitamente dal loro sito ufficiale . L'esordio discografico della band è di quelli che fanno davvero ben sperare per il futuro: la capacità di scrittura è sopra la media, ottime sono le armonie vocali, che rimandano al folk dei tardi anni '60 e decisamente azzeccati risultano gli arrangiamenti. Da segnalare la presenza di Anand Wilder e Ira Wolf Tuton (Yeasayer), ospiti vocali nel brano "Wrapped In A Page". MP3 Xylos [...]
Photo By Hannah Bergqvist Xylos is a 5-piece based out of Brooklyn. They are the latest in a long line of indie/pop/folk collectives out of that city that seem to throw everything at you, but the kitchen sink. Fittingly, members of Yeasayer contributed additional vocals to their debut EP. If you are into this sort of textured, multi-instrumental music with a touch of a laid back tropical groove, you might enjoy this band. If you do, you can download the entire EP for free here . Look for a lot more from [...]
