I found the great fan video over at Gorilla vs. Bear for San Francisco garage rockers The Mantles. The song is called "Don't Lie" and uses footage from the 1973 film Paper Moon. Enjoy!

Brooklyn's Yeasayer just dropped their new single, "Ambling Alp" from their upcoming album Odd Blood to be released this coming February. I was a big fan of their 2007 full length All Hour's Cymbals. This new track is cut from the same cloth as All Hour's Cymbals but also explores some new sounds and a [...]
A couple years back I listened to Devendra's Cripple Crow for the first time & then continued to listen to only that album for a month straight at least. I was so drawn in by his style; deep, yet simple lyrics & a uniquely shaky voice. Since then, every new song of his that I [...]

Bluegrass is not normally a genre I tend to dive into, but when tastefully combined with something danceable, wonderful things can happen. "The Seedy Seeds" are able to use the banjo and mix it with electronic beats. They bring us back to simple Americana, while captivating modern ears. The trio recently performed [...]

I really do not want to belabor what has already been said about Julian Casablancas's new solo record Phrazes for the Young. I will attempt to let the music speak for itself. This track was leaked several days ago and has a slightly different sound from the album's single 11th Dimension. "River of Brakelights" is a little [...]
Mont Lyons' webisode antics continue in their third installment, and this one proves to be their most impressive both in humor and performance. Bryan and Brandon introduce us to the newest members of the crew with "Love Over Mind" off their upcoming EP Sleep Talk. Yep, this is the same song we showed a few [...]
I've always been a big fan of Sufjan Stevens' work. When I heard that he was creating a self-made home-made movie and composing its orchestral soundtrack, I nearly lost it. Tomorrow, Stevens releases "The BQE," a cinematic suite inspired by the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and the Hula-Hoop. I remember hearing about this last year, and since [...]
Okay, so I'm not much of a follower of the "Twilight" series. That being said the soundtrack to the "New Moon" film, oddly enough, has some appealing tracks. I was both surprised and impressed to find that St. Vincent (Annie Clark) and Bon Iver had collaborated to produce "Roslyn," a piece that takes [...]
I went to the Atlas Sound show last night at the Black Cat here in DC. The sound was great, the beer was flowing, and both The Selmanaires and Broadcast put on stellar live show. Although, Broadcast was not my thing, they had an interesting set with some pretty powerful and mesmerizing visuals [...]

Some of you may have heard that Vampire Weekend is set to release their second CD, "Contra," on January 12, 2010. In preparation for this, the group has uploaded the track, "Horchata," to their website for streaming and downloading. I find the track similar to musical styles found on the group's self-titled CD.
