![[MP3] The Raveonettes :: “Into The Night”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4189217_lg.jpg)
The Raveonettes have a new EP coming out later this month and the first single titled "Into The Night" is every bit of the fuzzy/distorted goodness you would expect from albums like Chain Gang of Love and Lust Lust Lust . This is the sound that I'm most fond of when I immediately think of the band, so I'm glad that this song incorporates a lot of those great elements. And Sune Rose Wagner's vocals? Lovely as usual, and goes really well over the song for nice shoegaze-y track to add to your night-driving mix. [...]
![[MP3] Dive :: “How Long Have You Known?”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4189203_lg.jpg)
Adding to the incredible stable of bands accumulating over at Brooklyn-based indie label Captured Tracks is Dive , the side project of Beach Fossils guitarist Zachary Smith. While the first single "Sometimes" pretty much had no differentiation from his proper band, the following single "How Long Have You Known?" also seems to take on the similar fuzzy, beach guitar riffs that we've come to expect, but I'm hoping to hear the band come into their own sound a bit more with the forthcoming release of their debut, Oshin . Beach [...]
For those readers that may not know, I do a weekly radio show here in Salt Lake City on KRCL 90.9 on Fridays from 1-3am. I was joined this week by my good friend Heather, and we played a bunch of great songs which you can hear below. Playlist is available here , but I also pasted it below with a few downloadable MP3s as well. You can either stream it on Soundcloud (it'll only be up a week) or download an MP3 file (111mb) of it. Hope you enjoy, and if you ever want to listen [...]
![[MP3] Strawberry Whiplash :: ‘Hits In The Car’](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4181432_lg.jpg)
Just heard this indiepop duo from Glasgow - which has become a fertile breeding ground for such bands - a couple days ago who recently released their full-length titled Hits In The Car on Matinée last week, and I have to say that I'm completely smitten with them at the moment. The duo comprises of Lawrence 'Laz' McCluskey, who's also in the band Bubblegum Lemonade (we've mentioned them before, but my archives are are kaput, unfortunately), along with Sandra who does the singin'. While their description pegs them as a noise-pop group, [...]
The Graboid is back and here we are once again with the week's new album releases. Still getting back into the swing of things so I haven't listened to many of these in their entirety, but I have sampled each of these and a couple I would recommend include Bear in Heaven's I Love You, It's Cool , Great Lake Swimmers' New Wild Everywhere , and Raven & Chimes' Holiday Life . - The Graboid is an on-going weekly feature here at The Yellow Stereo since its [...]
- Rufus Wainwright's new album Out Of The Game is due out on 5/1
- Orbital's new album Wonky is out this week 4/3
![[Film] Xavier Dolan’s ‘Laurence Anyways’](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4176066_lg.jpg)
Instantly becoming one of my most anticipated films of the year, Québécois wunderkind Xavier Dolan's third feature-length film Laurence Anyways has an effortlessly gorgeous three-minute trailer out right now, and while his films are a bit hit/miss for me, there's no denying the talent and style that the now 23 year-old director possesses. Set to hit theaters in Quebec this summer, and expected to premiere at Cannes, the film is set in 1989 and tells the story of a man named Laurence who decides he wants to become a woman on his 30th birthday. [...]
![[Listen] Air France :: “It Feels Good To Be Around You” (Memory Tapes Version)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4175993_lg.jpg)
Sweden's Air France recently called it quits , and to this point over a six year period never released a full-length album. Isn't that amazing considering the fact that the duo has released two EPs, singles, and several remixes over that time span. I was a big supporter of them since the beginning, but it appears that Joel Karlsson and Henrik Markstedt were never supporters of their own music. Perfectionists to the very end; to the point where the music could never live up to their own lofty standards . Could it all be bullshit? [...]

![[Listen] Dirty Projectors :: “Gun Has No Trigger”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4174722_lg.jpg)
A new track from Dirty Projectors' still yet to be named new studio album (supposedly due out sometime in the spring) premiered about an hour ago. I do love 20092s Bitte Orca quite a bit, but after a few listens of this new song, I'm still undecided about it. It's elicited sort of a non-reaction from me at the moment. What do you folks think?
![[Video] Frankie Rose :: “Night Swim”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4174723_lg.jpg)
One of the best songs off of Frankie Rose's solid album, Interstellar , gets a music video directed by Laurel Parmet. I'm actually not a huge fan of the video itself, because the tone of it doesn't really suit "Night Swim" at all, considering the tempo of the song is a bit more fast-paced than what the video is implying. I'm assuming someone saw the song title and went "Derp...let's film people swimming at night." Easy enough. [MP3] Frankie Rose :: "Night Swim" - [...]
![[Listen] Violens :: “Der Microarc”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4174724_lg.jpg)
Violens , the Brooklyn three-piece, have been around for quite a while. Seeing them mentioned recently invoked some memories of listening to them around the time I started blogging in 062 or 072. I had an idea of what they were like from those previous years, so I kind of passed them by without a second glance, that is, until recently when I listened to a couple of singles off their forthcoming album titled True . Why is this you ask? Simply put, there album being put out by the mighty Slumberland Records , [...]
Just heard this beauty via Music For Kids Who Can't Read Good and I'll be damned if I don't mention anything related to I Break Horses on this blog going forward. Their 2011 album, Hearts , was a fantastic debut chalked full of electro-shoegaze goodness, and the group scored an opening spot on M832s current tour (they'll be here in SLC on April 29th!). Anyways, I should mention CSLSX , but I honestly don't know anything about them right now. They're another of the long line of bands of currently [...]
![[Listen] Young Prisms :: ‘In Between’](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4174726_lg.jpg)
It's been an interesting road traveled so far for Young Prisms , the young quartet quintet out of San Francisco. Labeled early on (maybe unfairly) as a slacker/stoner band during their run with the debut album, Friends for Now , the newly christened quintet is back with a brand new album titled In Between released this week on Kanine Records . While the group's shoegazer influences are pretty obvious dating back to their debut, there are actually a few new wrinkles that are apparent once [...]
![[Video] Tanlines :: “Brothers”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4174727_lg.jpg)
Straight out of Brooklyn comes the duo of Jesse Cohen and Eric Emm, better known as Tanlines . They just released their debut LP titled Mixed Emotions last week on True Panther, and while the album that I've heard so far primarily does its thing through dance club-worthy synths and drum beats, it's the first single "Brothers" that really catches your attention as it strikes a delicate balance of being both melodic and danceable. There's also a nicely done music video of the single that's completely interactive in the sense that it's viewable in full [...]
One of the best singles off Dum Dum Girls ' 2011 album, Only in Dreams , gets a music video. For some reason, that record didn't make a lot of people's top 10. I'm still confused as to why that is. A little info about the song courtesy of Dee Dee, lead singer of the band: I won’t lie; it’s heart on sleeve. Have you ever numbed yourself to avoid pain only to oscillate between the subconscious and conscious? Ever felt compelled to address Life itself? Things can be so [...]
Katy Goodman's solo project La Sera released a new album today - which I'm currently listening to right now and enjoying - and has another music video that seems to kill two birds with one stone, as the video features both singles "Real Boy" and "Drive On". Clever usage of the songs as they segue into one another with two very different themes (one about a trapeze artist, and the other a b/w noir-ish romp through a city that ends with some plastic surgery mishap). I don't watch music videos that often, but I'm beginning to [...]
![[Listen] Projectionists :: Self-Titled EP](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4174730_lg.jpg)
It seems to only take one post to get myself into the groove of wanting to blog, so I figured while I'm at my computer I'd mention something else I've been excited about lately: Projectionists , the newest project of ex-Pipette member Rebecca Stephens (aka RiotBecki). She now joins former Pipette member Rose Elinor Dougall in going forward with their own solo endeavors - both of which are quite good. The band seems to embrace that 602s girl pop sound that made The Pipettes so appealing, which is [...]
While Sigur Rós frontman Jónsi has kept himself busy with his solo work, the band has been sort of quiet since their last album in 2008. But with the release of Inni last year (a DVD and double CD of the band's live performances in London) and the announcement that the band would be hard at work on a new album and subsequent tour, it gave us fans reason enough to be patient. That patience has paid off as we now have confirmation of a new album titled Valtari [...]
