The Fiery Furnaces have a new album called Take Me Round Again that was released digitally only on November 5th. In theory, Take Me Round Again is a collection of cover, but it is also a collection of alternate takes of previously released songs. In other words, it features the members of the Fiery Furnaces re-writing each other's work. As Eleanor (who accounts for 1/2 of the Fiery Furnaces) put it: "I've gotten into the habit of rewriting songs Matt has written, just as a way of practicing and singing at home. Originally, I had [...]
Man, press release authors can be really excitable sometimes. Look: Toro Y Moi (a.k.a. Columbia, South Carolina's Chaz Bundick) is the sound the world has been waiting for. This multi-cultural juggernaut gathers up the best musical elements from around the globe- R&B, Indie Rock, Electronic Dance and Psychedelica -and creates something-freaking-else! Hyphen explosion, you guys! Anyway, astute readers might notice that I just managed to cloak an artist description in a smarmy joke, and did absolutely no real work. But oh well. I'm a man on the go, you [...]

From Nevada City, California come rotating collective Golden Shoulders with their third album 'Get Reasonable'. This album's sound hangs heavy with the influence of early to mid 70s Beach Boys (their best period btw), Big Star and CSNY and even a good measure of Southern rock. To the lazy listener this might position them in the same Amazon style recommendation list as Fleet Foxes - but they have a healthy amount of oddness, quirk and bite to keep them out of the MOR spotlight. Check 'Mountain' for a taste. Download 'Mountain' . [...]
Capgun Coup: "Sitting on the Sidewalk" Enjoying the few songs I've heard from Capgun Coup's new album, Maudlin . Released last week from Team Love, the Omaha group spent some time in the famed Hotel Frank making some nice lo-fi, complemented with some cool 60s surf vibes. I thought of Birds of Avalon, Be Your Own Pet, The Vivian Girls and Times New Viking (gotta stop posting about them). Maybe they're all similar in style rather than substance. Check Capgun Coup here at Team Love and on [...]
quiero que escuchen a Golden Shoulders , porque es un colectivo musical de Nevada que tiene tiempo sacando cosas y es bastante variado-escuchable. esto de aquí es 'Mountain' del disco Get Reasonable y les doy un chance para que visiten el myspace y terminen de escuchar esto, que para mi es una especie de Bajo Fondo de música independiente y acústica.

so, how many people make a collective? i get quite a few emails stating that so and so is a musical collective, but always wondered how many folks actually make up a true collective. i would say that to be a true collective it would have to be made up by more than 8 members, or maybe 10. is lambchop a collective cause they have like 22 members or are they just a band? trivial, i know. anyway, nevada city, california's golden shoulders which is lead by adam kline is a musical collective, or at least the press [...]
Formed in 2001, the Nevada City, CA collective known as Golden Shoulders has been around long enough to learn a few things about songcrafting. Sure enough, on 2009's Get Reasonable , we find songwriter Adam Kline and his ever-evolving cast of characters at there most dynamic and conscientious. The album begins with perfection in the form of "The Mountain," with Kline's baritone dancing confidently around the simple strumming and key tinkling of the introductory bars (think Britt Daniel trying to sing like Sondre Lerche). As the track develops, Kline tries new things out, both vocally with the [...]

Were you consoling Britney Spears after Australians got all mad she lip synchs and puts on a less-than-stellar show ? I know B, life's tough sometimes. Here, dry your eyes with these millions of dollars you still have. Let's talk about life. I know lip synching is your THING (hard to dance with snakes and sing at the same time, ya know?) but Australians have higher standards and you're going to have to live with that. Look, why don't you distract yourself by catching up on what you missed on Knox Road this week. Sunday: [...]
