Well, this should be fun. The Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival has proved to be quite the epic annual event. For its 2010 edition, the festival organizers have decided to make the lineup announcement equally epic, so for the next 24 hours or so we'll be glued to our computer screens waiting to see who will be hitting Manchester, Tennessee from June 10-13. As previously mentioned, the lineup announcement will work something like this. Unlike previous announcements, the 2010 bill will not be unveiled all at once, but rather throughout the day, with the goal being [...]

'Greenberg' is the next film by genius Director Noah Baumbach (anyone who's seen 'The Squid And The Whale' will agree) and whilst we're still awaiting its March release, we've finally caught wind of its soundtrack and things are looking very James Murphy-based to say the least.
Tutto quello che può essere pensato a priori è sbagliato a priori. Almeno in questo caso. Seabear è un progetto che ha radici nella sola mente di Sindri Már Sigfússon , musicista indie-folk nordico. Gli stessi presupposti dei Fanfarlo (o di un sano Jens Lekman . A proposito, ma che fine ha fatto?), ma assolutamente sonorità non accostabili a questi ultimi. Base a Reykjavik, ma non suona proprio alla Sigùr Ros (esatto, non tutti i gruppi che usano gli archi assomigliano ai Sigùr ). I suoi brani sono comparsi in [...]
I often wax lyrical about how most of the albums that still stand up as favourites years down the line weren't the ones that really impressed on their first spin on the hi-fi. Most albums that impress straight away do so because they are, in a nut shell, shallow; that is to say, you hear everything that there is to hear instantly, and every repeat listen only serves to diminish the record's appeal. The albums that stand the test of time are more often than not the ones in which the currents run deeper; repeat listens are required to fully [...]
James Murphy has decided that a new LCD Soundsystem album wasn't enough to hit his track-thirsty fans with. Wait for it...he's also unveiling his first film score, too. It's for Noah Baumbach's ( Squid and the Whale director) latest called Greenberg . Consequence of Sound has more details below: In addition to a new LCD Soudsystem album, European tour, and a newly announced appearance at the Pitchfork Music Festival, the electro genius known as James Murphy is also making news for his contributions to [...]
One of my favorite discoveries of 2008 came in the form of this bright, soulful teenager from Hampshire, England. Laura Marling made her mark that year by releasing her excellent debut at the young of 18, Alas, I Cannot Swim , amongst a couple of notable appearances on tracks from Noah and the Whale ("Five Years Time") and Mystery Jets ("Young Love") - the now 20-year-old singer-songwriter is set to release not one, but two new albums in 2010. The first of which titled I Speak Because I Can [...]
Vi begyndte at hype engelske Fanfarlo for et par uger siden og i aften spiller de deres første koncert i Danmark i Århus. I morgen kommer turen til København og Loppen. Frekvens smuttede forbi lydprøven på Voxhall og fik en snak med Amos (trommer) og Cathy (violin, keyboard mm.) fra bandet. Fanfarlo er stadig et ubeskrevet blad i Danmark og jeres album udkommer først til marts – hvordan plejer I at beskrive jeres musik? Cathy: Vi spiller gode melodier med interessante tekster [...]
What is there to say about Communion ? It started off in 2006 as a club night and community at the Notting Hill Arts Club, founded by Ben Lovett (Mumford and Sons), Kevin Jones (Cherbourg) and producer Ian Grimble. But my what an impression it has left as it has provided a platform for the newest bands on London's circuit. The night has seen the likes of Noah and the Whale, Laura Marling, Mumford and Sons, JJ Pistolet and Peggy Sue grace the stage and has become closely associated with the recent resurgence of folk in the capital. [...]
Words: Emmy Droege As mentioned in an earlier review , an acoustic Broadcast 2000 sounds very much like a blood relation to Sufjan Stevens. Yet, all of that changes in his first full-length, self-titled debut album that will be released later this month. At first listen, you wonder this time if he's Charlie Fink's (lead singer of Noah and the Whale) long-lost brother, but you'll very quickly discover that Broadcast 2000 (singer-songwriter Joe Steer) is his own captain. The creative and talented multi-instrumentalist kicks the album off with 'Rouse Your Bones', a jumpy track that will [...]

Quality Singer / Songwriters are a rare breed - for me only three are worth your hard earned money - Ben Folds, Joshua Radin and the wonderful former Mercury nominee Tom McRae . He's got a new album coming out in February, which is sure to be a fantastic collection of melancholy and stories, so put on your PJs, snuggle up in your favourite chair, pop on an album (I'd reccomend his self-titled debut), and read our interview with Tom.... Hello Tom. What are you up to today? Packing up my [...]
The title-track from Noah and the Whale 's 2009 LP The First Days of Spring opens with the line "It's the first day of spring and my life is starting over again", and immediately sets the melancholic tone for the remainder of the album. The release, which is the band's sophomore full-length effort, narrates lead singer Charlie Fink's coming to terms (or as it often seems, not coming to terms) with the demise of his relationship with former band member Laura Marling . Whether on purpose, or simply the unintended product of where Fink's head was [...]
Shhh...I have a secret for you. What, you say? That I've been MIA for a long time? Yeah, this is true, but I'm taking about something secretly canadian . I gotta tell you that Secretly Canadian's lineup gets more and more impressive by the week. The Seattle-based collective Throw Me the Statue released their second LP Createresque last August, and I've been meaning to write about it for a while now. As legend has it, the idea behind Throw Me the Statue began as a sort of mixtape for a girl, and has [...]
I've been quite lazy in my posting around here lately. I've been shooting down idea after idea in my head, until something magical just kinda fell into my lap. Before I just endlessly spill the details of my personal life, let me just get right into why I'm back and what I'm bringing with me. Last fall I had this idea of making weekly mix-CD's; some for myself and some for others, but at least one a week. The plan kinda fell through after only a month and a half, but I did get a great mix or two out [...]
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and crew are "devastated" after sound man (and frontman Robert Beens' father) Michael Been's valuable gear was stolen from the band's storage locker, Chart Attack reports. On Wednesday, the band posted a message on its website describing the incident and requesting people to forward the info along to others. Start copying and pasting! The message identifies the stolen equipment as a 1954 Fender Esquire (yellow with black pick guard), a 1968 Ampeg Scrolltop fretless bass, a 1964 black Fender Precision bass, and a 1968 Gretsch Country Gentleman Single Cutaway.

Love Gets Lost - Jonah Smith Boy From Shcool - Grizzly Bear (Hot Chip Cover) Beachcomber - Real Estate Blue Skies - Noah and the Whale (the Twelves remix) In The Sun - She and Him Feel it All Around - Washed Out King of Spain - Tallest Man on Earth
x x "Everyone has one chance to fuck up their lives.." The First Days Of Spring breaks my heart every single time I listen. At first, I thought it was the type of music that would happily send me to sleep-with its gentle vocals and non offensive melodies. But it contains far too much emotion for this. All it does is make me toss and turn thinking about [...]
