Holly Miranda Prepares to Check Debut Out of the Library

Holly Miranda Prepares to Check Debut Out of the Library Sebastian Mlynarski When I rounded up all the bits of information around Holly Miranda's solo project back in January , I had no notion that interest in it would eclipse that given to her main band, The Jealous Girlfriends . But her more atmospheric approach is certainly more in line with what people expect/want to hear wafting out of Brooklyn these days and it has apparently tickled more ears than the Girlfriends' heaver, more guitar-driven rock did. So while the Girlfriends take a deserved break, Miranda has been busy - [...]

A Million Other Things

Yo La Tengo - "If It's True" One of the tricks Yo La Tengo have mastered over the years is placing their quiet, unassuming personalities in the context of familiar song styles that are typically characterized by more glamorous vocalists. They're not the first people to ever do this, and they're hardly not the only band to deliberately undersell emotional lyrics with a flat vocal affect, but they don't just stop at irony and call it a day. Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley have learned to give nuanced performances in their narrow range, and when they sing [...]

PARDNER & PARDNER Photo source Sean Savage - "Here She Comes!!!" On November 19th, Sean Savage was kidnapped by an unknown woman. She wore a gingham scarf over her mouth. She had black bangs and blue eyes. She strapped Mr Savage to a large red wagon and climbed onto her bicycle and proceeded east. At first Mr Savage struggled. He pulled and bucked at his bindings. He kicked the side of the wagon. His thrashings knocked the wagon onto its side, whereupon he was dragged for ten feet in [...]

Ten Thousand Voices Lost And Found

I've heard so many albums in [...]

Yeasayer's Interactive Video

Yeasayer's Interactive Video Nearly three weeks ago, when Yeasayer dropped news of their new Ambling Alp single, the press materials had also promised to "unleash... a breakthrough video at yeasayer.net on the evening of October 30th." Well, it's a little bit late, but that video is now here, and better late than never, right? It's definitely NSFW (why do I feel like I'm giving this disclaimer all the time now?), and features some trippy interactive video that I can tell you is almost certainly an homage to the early '70s work of Dan Graham [...]
