Grizzly Bear producer and bassist Chris Taylor has got his own solo moniker CANT and will be using that name to release his debut Dreams Come True on September 13. However, in the meantime, you can stream the entire album thanks to the soundcloud below. See if you can detect George Lewis Jr.'s influence on the sound, as he took a break from Twin Shadow to lend a hand. CANT - Dreams Come True by Transdreamer Records [...]
This week has been hella busy on the video front, with new ones from Das Racist, Kid Cudi, Wilco and SBTRKT . Drown your eyeballs in 13 boxes of artistic expression before getting back to the end of your work week. Beirut's "Santa Fe" Das Racist's "Michael Jackson" Lana Del Ray's "Blue Jeans" [...]
Become immersed in the sounds of a seamstress with this short film by Sigur Ros called "Klippa." Given the watermark on the bottom of the video, assumptions are being made that this will be part of the upcoming live album.
Remember when you were 13 and it felt like music was all you had? The bands you loved - really, truly loved - were worn like invisible armor guarding you from the world. You clamored to learn all you could about them, tearing through issues of music magazines, pasting the glossy images on your wall. These memories are palpable, powerful, and ever-present in any music addict's life. Experiencing this phenomenon in real time, the wide-eyed 13-year-old boy to my right is telling his dad and older sister all about the band. He knows their whole history, [...]
As if Adult Swim wasn't riotous enough with shows like Tim & Eric and Squidbillies , Dickhouse Entertainment is bringing you a show all about Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All . Mirrored after Jackass , the fifteen-minute show will feature skits, man-on-the-street segments, pranks and music from the L.A. rap/skate crew. Expect your ears and eyes to bleed when it airs in 2012. Also, for a taste of what may come here's OF narrating a home video, clips of Thurnis Golf Wang and Tyler falling [...]
Hailing from Tennessee and bringing all the gruff of the bears with it, PUJOL introduces us to his upcoming release Nasty, Brutish, and Short with its leading track, "Mayday." According to him, it's about his friend "Richard Houston attaining maximum grooviness by harnessing different viewpoints to gain a clearer perspective aside from feigning teenage omniscience." Sounds enlightening! Snag it here or be a good samaritan and download the track through the widget below. Nasty, Brutish, and Short EP Track List: Mayday [...]
Listen to that track above and tell me you don't think of high school. I dare you. The rag-tag chorus, the lyrical focus of young love, the mention of vomit down a rental tux– doesn't it all just scream of adolescence? Granted, that's a quick way to our hearts, and Los Campesinos! dives into plucking those heartstrings with their latest track, "By Your Hand." It'll be out with the rest of their album Hello Sadness on November 15, and you can watch the video for it here. Plus, if you're in New York, Pennsylvania or D.C. [...]
Morgan Spurlock of Supersize Me fame hit up Girl Talk for an episode of A Day In the Life . Get about 22 minutes of interview-goodness as Spurlock follows him to Alabama for an outdoor fest. It's interesting how he rejects the idea of being a 'DJ.' Rather he calls it "electronic music based on live samples."
I'm still pretty in love with the new M83 , so news of remixes makes me wary. It doesn't necessarily help that the reinterpretations are coming out September 27 – potentially a month before Hurry Up, We're Dreaming even hits shelves – but so far one of the tracks has won me over. Stretching the song to almost 7.5 minutes, Trentemøller tones down the catchy electronic element of "Midnight City" in favor for a more elegant approach with reverberating guitar and emphasis on vocals. This is one of four remixes coming out, the others by [...]
Last night, Wilco's Jeff Tweedy felt that Black Eyed Peas fever and recited a dramatic reading of "My Humps." If you don't spend the whole time laughing, which is oh-so easy to do, notice how at times his tone almost reaches poetry slam status.
Wavves has been throwing some big names into their latest album, both in lyrical content and in guest appearances. Really, the fact that we can even understand what they're singing in the singles for Life Sux is a huge leap in their sound. Sure, the guitar fuzz is still prominent, but the melodies are more significant, which makes their latest track "Nodding Off" with Best Coast a pleasant piece to put on repeat. Stream it here and own it on September 20 with previous release " I Wanna Meet Dave Grohl " and others. [...]
The first Hall & Oates concert in Portland was in October of 1976. I believe last Saturday was their 70,000,000,202nd show. Fortunately, they left their probably-grumpy middle-aged selves at the door and were nice enough to play the same songs they've been playing to swooning audiences for thirty years. "Hey John, this is like the fiftieth… sixtieth time we've played this song live, right?" "Yeah, Daryl, I think fifty is about right." Yeah… right. And 1976 was about three years ago. The reason H&O fans demand the same old songs every damn time [...]
Yuck loves their b-sides. This is probably because many of them were supposed to be on the original record, until the track list was changed up the day the album was mastered. A few of these tracks have had their individual moments to shine, but now the band wants to release a deluxe edition that will give them a proper home. We've already heard " Coconut Bible " and " Doctors In My Bed ," and we get to hear another b-side from their debut, "Cousin Corona." Stream it below and own it on the whole package October 11. [...]
Forget Moog and Korg, the iPad is the latest trend in musical composition. In line with Apple composers Gorillaz and Bjork , Baths hit up his iPad with the Beatmaker2 app to create mellow evidence of technological advancement, "Exit the Mine." Stream it below and if you're in the Pacific Northwest, see Will Wisenfield at Decibel Festival on September 29. Exit the Mine by bathsmusic (via Stereogum )

Wild Flag gets mischievous with masks on their lunch break in the video for "Romance." Damn, Carrie Brownstein really breaks out the iconic rock 'n' roll moves in this one.
Welcome back after a relaxing Labor Day Weekend! For those of you who were at Bumbershoot, my jealousy abounds. Yet this jealousy doesn't spread to hate, for there are too many album streams on the web today to keep secret even from your worst enemies. Today holds the potential of streaming six new albums today, including Neon Indian's Era Extraña , St. Vincent's Strange Mercy , Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's Hysterical , Laura Marling's [...]
Close out the summer with some seashore imagery, and a voice you might remember from Rainer Maria . Happy Labor Day; remember it's the last day for whites and seersucker.
The name Bass Drum of Death sounds fiercer than it actually is. Unless, that is, if fierceness is defined by all members' eyes shrouded in bouncing curly locks for all but some scattered split seconds during the set. In any case, I Can't See Your Face Drum of Death would be a more accurate band name. The important thing is that the opening band looked and sounded great, albeit not fierce. The small but tightly-woven crowd gathered round the stage half-interested, neither drunk enough to dance nor hip enough to sing along. They varied between punk-speed numbers that [...]
If you have a free hour or two tomorrow we have just the thing for you to do. Wilco is releasing their latest album The Whole Love on September 27, but before that they aim to give us all a sweet tease by streaming it live on Wilcoworld.net for just 24 hours. Plus, they just announced some new tour dates, so here's a complete list with the recently announced and previously announced dates below: Wilco 2011 Tour Dates: 09/13 Indianapolis, IN @ Murat Theatre [...]
