Wild Belle 's debut record Isles mixes reggae and bossanova with the drug-fueled haze of the singer-songwriter '70s by-way-of early '90s hip-hop. Make sense? Good, because this is an album that careens back and forth between genres, sometimes in a single song, creating a record that might come from a more experienced band. If this is singer Natalie Bergman and her brother Elliot's first foray into the full-length album as an art form, I can't imagine the heights they'll hit if they have a long enough career. " Keep You " [...]
As we enter February and the cruel winter finally begins to release it's icy grip on Britain, everyone's favourite feline friendly dream poppers Beach House are back with a short film that's sure to evoke those summer memories. In the wake of last years critically acclaimed "Bloom", the 26 minute clip titled "Forever Still" sees the band perform four songs in the postcard perfect El Paso Desert between sunset and sunrise, with non-descript yet mesmerising interludes intermittently thrown in for good measure. The group explained the meaning behind the clip, which was filmed over three nights in association with [...]
My top ten for the year, with a brief explanation/comment. Enjoy & Happy New Year! ...... 1. Grizzly Bear – Shields The guys in Grizzly Bear killing it, once again. This record is almost perfect. The compositions are strange & beautiful, and they complement the haunting singing styles of Ed Droste and Daniel Rossen. If you didn’t get this album – you missed (but there's still time!). Check Out: Yet Again [mp3] [...]
Clif's top ten list for 2012 with twenty others receiving honorable mention: 10. Cat Meat – Cat Meat We previewed Cat Meat’s self-titled debut as a Friday Free Feature on November 9, and it’s been in constant rotation between my iPod and car stereo. A complex, experimental alt. country/folk album that claims influences such as Wilco, Sparklehorse and Califone; the classic psychedelic experimenalist, Captain Beefheart; and the legendary bluesmen Mississippi John Hurt and Blind Willie McTell. When you listen, they’re all there in subtle drips, drabs and dollops. [...]

Words by Jacob I have failed you, readers. I, your soundtracking guide through the seasons, dropped the ball on summer '12. Sure, I submitted an Independence Day column, both to help you host the world's most uncomfortable cookout and to support the eternal re-election of President Bill Pullman, but I skipped an actual summer edition, and for this I apologize. But now summer is at an end, and back to work we must go. Unless you have a real job, in which case [...]
Wild Nothing popped into my view at CMJ 2010; Jack Tatum ’s dream-pop project played a lot of shows and then some more during that festival, which made it easy to see them at least once. I was impressed not by any charisma or theatrics at the show I checked out. Instead, I was impressed with how they made atmospheric music that managed to still catch the ear. This was shortly after their debut LP, Gemini , was released, and it bode well for their future. Fast forward to [...]
Listening to Marissa Nadler's The Sister is like having a beautiful ghost laying in your bed, waking you in the middle of the night to tell about her past, a past riddled with haunting, poetic stories. This Boston singer/songwriter is given the respect of an older sister figure within the community of her genre; throughout her past five albums, Nadler remains criminally underated in some circles despite her nearly peerless sense of musicianship. As we've seen Nadler evolve with each new release, particularly her delectable [...]

Listen to a celebratory birthday mix from Digits , "Check My Machine" , featuring everyone from Phèdre to Eleanor Friedberger . This really says it all about Digits : it's his birthday, but he's giving us the present. I'm not complaining. Specifically, he's putting out a mix of tracks that have been "following him around" during his travels in the UK and Europe, and a fine collection it is too. Alongside better-known names (you've heard of [...]

Yes we know some of you out there over the web has had this project well in advance due to it being leaked a few weeks ahead, but if you've been too busy or just didn't get word, you can now legally listen (better quality also) to Beach House 's latest project ' Bloom ' in its entirety. Stream: Beach House - Bloom
Every week we're lambasted with free streams by everybody and everywhere. This week's album streams come from two acts from opposite coasts who aren't strangers to the scene. Silversun Pickups is hustling their latest album, "Neck of the Woods," out via Dangerbird. It's their third album and the second since their stellar debut "Swoon." After a couple of listens, the vast majority of the album is radio ready and should get plenty of airplay. Beach House is out to prove that "Teen Dream" was no fluke with their latest release, "Bloom." Maybe [...]

La primera vez que se nombró a Beach House en este blog fue con una presentación a todo lo grande; Descubriendo a Beach House . Una entrada en la que advertíamos que tocaba regreso de los de Baltimore, uno que se hizo esperar, y es que aun asimilando Teen Dream dos años después de su lanzamiento, nos encontramos, sin previo aviso, con el anuncio de su nuevo álbum , " Bloom ". Un álbum que una vez más se filtró antes de tiempo (aun [...]
![Beach House | "Equal Mind" (B-Side) [Stream]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4220165_lg.jpg)
Record Store was this past Saturday. In celebration and as we alluded to last week, Beach House released a limited-edition blue vinyl copy of a new song entitled "Lazuli". Here's the B-side to that song. It's called "Equal Mind". ( via ) ( via ) Beach House | [ Official Site ] [ Twitter ]
Beach House dropped their Bloom single “Lazuli” on an exclusive 7” for Record Store Day, and now you can sample the b-side, non-album track “Equal Mind.” We wish this one was going to end up on Bloom too – it’s got the sweet slow-dance mixtape-ready groove of Beach House’s best songs, we can’t get enough of that languid, spiraling chord progression on guitar and keys and the way Victoria Legrand’s falsetto is isolated amidst piano chords and minimalist drums toward the end, and it’s [...]
