Heavy Rotation: Woods, Sic Alps, Thee Oh Sees

Sep 27, 2012, 12:02am All the Young Punks

I'm digging the onslaught of excellent releases in recent weeks and months. Here's a sample of some of the best music I've heard lately. Woods - Bend Beyond . On last year's Sun & Shade , Woods stretched one song past 7 minutes, while another clocked in at almost 10. That's not the case with the band's latest, an airy yet punchy psychedelic trip. The longest song on this album comes in at just more than 3 minutes. The songs are very immediate and accessible. Woods is really a phenomenal band that [...]

Australia's Dirty Three put out a new album, Toward the Low Sun , earlier this year, the band's first since 2005. This instrumental trio, formed two decades ago, features guitar, drums and violin - probably not the first thing that comes to mind when you mention an Aussie band named Dirty Three.

So if you're not heading to the sold-out Wilco show at the  Hideout Saturday, it's because you're holding out for the band to play at a smaller venue, right? Wilco plays many cool places in Chicago but it doesn't often play the Hideout. And the tickets, surprisingly, didn't sell out in minutes. The all-day outdoor event should be a blast with many other fine acts playing, including Wye Oak and veteran soul man Lee Fields . See the full schedule [...]
