As the praise of John Talabot's debut album fIN starts building momentum, he's put together a 72-minute long, 20-track mix for FACT Magazine .

That said, be sure to listen out for his mix of Shakarchi & Stranéus' "It's my love" in the middle. Check out the tracklisting and download the mix below: [...]

Frank Yang It probably amounts to some sort of Can-rock heresy, but I think I actually like Bry Webb on his own more than I ever did with Constantines . I fully acknowledge why many hold the Cons up as one of the greatest Canadian rock acts of the past however many years/decades/centuries - I've seen them live , I know what they were capable of - but the fact is, his solo debut Provider has captivated me more than any of the [...]
John Talabot sees in his debut album, ƒin, with a storming mix for FACT. It's hard to put a tag on John Talabot's music. The Barcelona-based producer has released a steady stream of underground house records since 2009; they're as deep as they come but they're certainly not deep house, and despite all those gloriously uplifting riffs, there's nothing big room about them. Often, they seem like pop records stretched to breaking point; each melody or key shift teased out for maximum dramatic effect. God knows really, but they murder a dancefloor. Talabot's released [...]

Thanks in part to the H.O.R.D.E. Tour the mid to late '90s could easily be looked at as the golden age of jambands, with regional bands turning into national touring acts thanks to an open-minded and enthusiastic fan base that where eager to discover the next big thing. Among the crop of bands that sprang up during this boom was The Big Wu , who formed at St. Olaf College in 1992 and earned a fervent following around the Land of 10,000 Lakes. The Minnesota-based act , who hold the distinction of being the first band on at [...]

MP3: $100 Justin Kinkel-Schuster of St. Louis, MO band Theodore got together with Oxford, Miss. multi-instrumentalist Andrew Bryant to play some songs and record. Eventually a new project, Phantom Limb, was born - although another band named Phantom Limb already exists so the pair changed their name to Water Liars and titled their debut Phantom Limb . Album opener "$1003 kicks off with a big, sludgy guitar riff, then melds into a kind of rumpled folk-pop that fits in nicely alongside other artists who call Misra Records [...]
