Simon Green, aka Bonobo, returns with his fourth album, Black Sands, out on March 23 via Ninja Tune. "The Keeper", the first single from the album, is a fine collaboration between the British producer and musician and the soulful vocalist Andreya Triana . It's mellow, dreamy and overall delicious track once again proving Green's outstanding production skills. Bonobo is going to be all over the place: 26 Feb 2010 Departure Lounge DJ set Edinburgh 27 Feb 2010 Le Belleviloise DJ set Paris 1 Apr 2010 Metro Chicago [...]

Modern Drift [MP3] Considering their season themed video for Modern Drift, it seems only natural that Efterklang embark on their seasonal migration now that spring starts to peek from under the blankets (or maybe not?). One can only hope that they will bring this so well-deserved touch of sun and grass to wherever their visit. This is a great excuse to see see how it all started. The tour dates, by the way, are at the bottom of this exceptionally long post. Efterklang's first album was Tripper, a [...]

By overlaying photos of trees from different angles one of top of the other, Kim Boske relays the special diversity and transience of nature. This dudette has a running exhibition in the Netherlands, check out her website for more details.
So Joanna Newsom went dormant for three years, and now wakes up with a triple album. Ah, such symmetry, such a sleeping beauty. Well, in that case, it's quite befitting to accompany this awakening (of a woman!) with Valerie and Her Week of Wonders . Two songs from the upcoming Have One on Me were pre-released. Feast your ears on these while waiting impatiently for the next two weeks for the February 23rd released date. Somehow she strikes me as a post-2000s Fiona Apple . Luckily , she has Drag City and not Sony.
[See post on tinyways.com to listen to audio] Wildbirds & Peacedrums - I Can't Tell In His Eyes [MP3] Wildbirds & Peacedrums - Doubt/Hope [MP3] There's a clear hierarchy between the warm-up band and the main act. It's this kind of clear separation that makes revolutions so sweet. It's not that St. Vincent wasn't good. She was the exact rocked-down sweetness that we all came to see. She is charming on stage as she is in my headphones. However, in this night, she wasn't alone. She wasn't overshadowed [...]

The Amber Woods by Kris Lewis .
The bathroom, although not a very erotic place, was the chosen scene of crime for many voyeurists, maybe nourishing their fetishism for cleaning from sin, or cleaning before subjection. Edgar Dagas ' depictions of this artistically unconventional perspective (often art is frontal), tells all this. Each of these images is both mundane and extremely sensual.
[See post on tinyways.com to listen to audio] I never find myself making those "best of..." lists at the end of a year, yet I can safely say Devendra Banhart's Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon (2007) is certainly among my most played albums ever. When earlier this year I discovered his new record (his seventh album!), it instantly became one of the most anticipated albums of 2009. No doubt, What Will We Be (2009) shares similarities with the 2007 record and carries that unmistakable Devendra sound. Yet What Will We Be stylistically is more eclectic as Devendra [...]
The whole girls starry scenes reminded me of the Virgin Suicides, which befit quite well Warpaint 's music and lineup. We should probably hear and see more of this band. More I said? Well, check out this street-wise video for Billie Holiday (stick to the end, there's a small sweet surprise):

Well, check out this street-wise video for Billie Holiday (stick to the end, there's a small sweet surprise): In this later video Warpaint borrows heavily from Mary Wells ' My Guy . One can draw a lot of what they copy and what they change. It's interesting to see how it reflects on how society changed and how [...]
It has been a while since an album was just looping continuously in my ears. The new Lightning Seeds album, titled Infinite Light, is doing it for a few days now. Somewhere between the Dresden Dolls and Clientele, the Lightning Seeds a is a new gem.

Yep, the psychedelic rein or terror in upon us. And Animal Collective are the new dictators.

Bill Nighy 's British mannerism has recently been quite charming in the Boat That Rocked . When combined with Neil Gaiman's skill and quirkiness, it's just hard to resist.
Post-NYE Seattle gloom (yes, it's gray-er). We already discussed them in the past .
