"Hallways" is the most upbeat song on Islands' new album A Sleep & A Forgetting . The jaunty piano and tambourine somehow make this song irresistible and worthy of repeating. It's a fun track on an otherwise lugubrious album. Not that it's a bad thing to put out an album like this, but it requires the listener to be in the right mood to be able to listen from start to finish. However, there is good reason for the album to be so moody as Nick Thorburn explains: "This album is far more personal than any I've [...]
If there is one thing you should know about indie at EARMILK, it is, we are dedicated fans of Nick Thorburn. This loyalty dates back to The Unicorns and his active movements since then.

By: Kellen Nordstrom "We would just get in the pocket and go with it because it sounded great. There wasn't this endless deliberating. We just went with our gut feelings on things" -Toby Leaman, Bassist/Vocalist for Dr. Dog; Anti- Records, 2012 The above words are crucial to keep in consideration upon listening to Dr. Dog's newest album, Be The Void, releasing on February 7 via Anti-Records. The Philadelphia band has been churning out [...]
With the release of Be The Void early next month, Dr. Dog have released their first single from the album, "Lonesome." Listen to the track below, and grab the new album February 7, via Anti-Records .
Another single from A Sleep & A Forgetting has arrived! "Hallways" is the 5th track on Island 's forthcoming album and thanks to the premiere on Prefix , we can indulge on this Tuesday. The first teaser was released late last year to hype this new record, A Sleep & A Forgetting via Anti . That was titled "This Is Not A Song" and in correlation, "Hallways" contains the same piano but formulated in an upbeat, ragged time manner. There is a charisma in the melodic keys that can only be [...]

By now, we should all be aware of Island's upcoming album A Sleep & A Forgetting with Anti-. The middle man in the picture is Nick Thorburn, also known as Nick Diamonds.

By now, we should all be aware of Island's upcoming album A Sleep & A Forgetting with Anti- . The middle man in the picture is Nick Thorburn, also known as Nick Diamonds. He was the singer in The Unicorns , Mister Heavenly and the current frontman of Islands . My infatuation with him is as great as the one with Honus Honus from Man Man . On a realistic side of things, the LP is scheduled on Valentines Day, Febuary 14th, 2012. There are eleven tracks and here is [...]
"Piranhas Club" is a single off of Man Man 's latest album, Life Fantastic. Every song on that collection is simply fantastic. This might be the time to confess, I have a continuous infatuation with Honus Honus (lead singer). All of his projects, including Mister Heavenly , literally makes me drool like a starving child. From his thick mustache, rough voice to the tropical rock band, it's a combination that is too tasty to pass. This new music video for "Piranhas Club" is a story about a rebellious boy and his gang called "The Piranhas". [...]
Tom Waits has the kind of voice that might scare the hell out of you if you hear him shouting outside at 3 am under your window, but that's just part of his towering talent and dark charm. Bad As Me (ANTI-Records) is more than an album; it's an all-engrossing psychological event. It's often said that part of the power of certain artists be they dancers or painters is that they make it look easy. Not the case with Waits: His songs sound like good, healthy hard work. A vivid hybrid of jazz, blues, vaudeville, ragtime and Waits, his songwriting has a rough-and-tumble [...]

Nach sieben Jahren lässt Tom Waits endlich wieder mit neuer Musik von sich hören, gibt sich im Vorfeld des Album-Releases allerdings etwas betupft. " There's no such thing as private anymore " moniert Tom Waits in einem als "Private Listening Party" betitelten Video und setzt bald zur immergleichen Jammer-Tirade über "this internet thing " an. Am 21. Oktober erscheint Waits' siebzehntes Studio-Album "Bad As Me" auf Antirecords . Im Video werden zwei, drei Songs der Platte angespielt, um nach einigen [...]
MP3: Tom Waits - Bad as Me Every time Tom Waits raises his head, music stops. It doesn't stop because it's run out, it's stops because of the blindsiding that occurs. At that point, you'd think it would reevaluate it's position, but it just keeps prostrating to the admonishment being delivered by Mr. Waits. He's the voice of reason; he brings character to the world. With Bad as Me seeing release this October, I can only hope an appropriate Dickensian winter (finally) follows suits. Enjoy.

Joe Henry - Odetta by antirecords Joe Henry is one of the best American songwriters of our generation. From his more experimental jazz albums, to crisp autumnal Americana, to dark brooding songwriting and a litany of A-list production credits - Henry has done it all. We had the privilege of working with him in a professional capacity several years ago, and on top of being the amazing musician he is, he is hands down one of the best and most professional people we've ever worked with. Ok - that [...]

Es ist nicht zu überhören: Zürich hat den Blues. Den Mali-Blues. Nach Boubacar Traoré, Tamikrest und Terakaft besucht im Oktober das Tuareg-Kollektiv Tinariwen die Schweiz. Mali gehört in Sachen Musik zum guten Ton. Wer in der Szene etwas auf sich hält, den verschlägts früher oder später nach Westafrika. Davon zeugen das Album " Talking Timbuktu ", das Mitte der Neunziger von Ry Cooder und Ali Farka Touré eingespielt wurde, Damon Albans Herzensangelegenheit " Mali Music " oder die Tamikrest-Dirtmusic-Kollabo " BKO " - um [...]

Following up 20092s GRAMMY-winning Potato Hole should have been tough for Booker T. Jones to follow. In fact, who would have blamed him if he took a break, resting on the achievement- which was a tribute as much as an updating of the Southern Fried B-3 fueled sound he effectively served on dozens of sides on Stax Records with his band The MG's. Backing Booker T. on Potato Hole was an Überband of Neil Young and The Drive-By Truckers and produced by main Trucker Patterson Hood which delivered [...]
DeVotchKa - Contrabanda The Colorado genre-defying quartet DeVotchKa are set to release their fifth full-length album 100 Lovers on March 1st via ANTI-Records . 100 Lovers is their latest album since 2007 and the first single, "Contrabanda", is streaming online to appease fans until the March release date. This Eastern European folk infused number features horns that abruptly blast against the crooning pipes of lead singer Nick Urata. Recorded in the Arizona desert with producer Craig Schumacher (Neko Case), the group has no doubt been [...]
