BON IVER has to be one of my favourite acts ever -  Justin Vernon 's calm and comforting vocals are the perfect soundtrack to end your day matched with a beautiful sunset and a warm tea, you'd be in a place pretty darn close to heaven. BON IVER 's latest self titled album is one to be played when you're in the mood to just snuggle right into your doona. It was well worth waiting for my old high school desktop to slowly download the album from iTunes [...]

Hace aproximadamente dos semanas, Bon Iver puso en marcha un concurso de remezclas de su mas reciente material de larga duracion, del que en su momento les vine a dejar el trabajo que hizo Teen Daze con uno de los cortes que compone ese aclamado material homonimo, asi que desde entonces la verdad no me habia topado con alguna otra remezcla que me resultara interesante para venir a compartirselas hasta el dia de hoy, ya que Work Drugs acaba de tomar su soundcloud para dar a conocer su remix de "Beth / Rest", [...]

When you think of Australian music, you probably think of edgy rock music ( AC/DC , Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds , Wolfmother ) or dancy synth-pop ( Cut Copy , Tame Impala , The Presets ). Rarely do you think of gorgeous acoustic music. But that's where newcomer Hayden Calnin comes in. Hayden Calnin , another Melbourne-based act, is [...]

When the folksy-folks of Grammy award winning band BON IVER announced their ‘ Bon Iver: Stems Project ’ competition, alarm bells rang. Designed to “result in a complete fan-inspired recreation of the band's critically acclaimed and most recent album through the art of remixing”, I was left anticipating an onslaught of oh-so-wrong attempts. Some things are better left untouched, and my beloved bearded musical god Justin Vernon and co. qualified under that. But when this oh-so-right remix of ‘Perth’ by TEEN DAZE [...]

It's up for debate as to whether it's a positive or negative aspect to the current state of music but to find a band with a truly diverse sound is a rare find. Sure it's great to put on an album such as Nootropic from Lower Dens and immerse yourself in it's hip-chillness which vaguely transforms itself from track to track, the downside to albums like that is it makes most bands feel one-sided and leaves those experiencing it with very low expectations for the future of such bands and [...]

Desde la aparicion d "All Of Us, Together", este productor ha estado jugando con muchos sonidos dentro de su habitacion, con lo cual ha ido haciendo que el nombre de Teen Daze vaya creciendo dentro del circuito musical en estos momentos, ya que ademas de crear piezas que sean capaces de brindarnos un muy buen momento dentro de la pista de baile; las remezclas que ha estado creando han sido bastante ambiciosas, y muy bien logradas como el caso de este remix que le hizo a "Perth" de Bon Iver . Bueno, la verdad es que en [...]

There isn't a single artist who I've longed for new material from more than Strand Of Oaks . When I caught him live last year it was apparent that although Timothy Showalter had already crafted one of the best albums of the last ten years with Pope Killdragon he was a long way off from showing us what brilliance he is capable of creating. His follow up album is Dark Shores which comes out Tuesday (7/24), " Trap Door " [...]

A couple of months ago we posted a sublime  cover of Bon Iver 's "Perth" by a band that had almost no information about them; Avec Sans . Today they're back with their first original track "Heartbreak Hi" and it's clear that they've got a wealth of talent and potential behind them. The duo from London will generate comparisons to Purity Ring , though the main difference I can hear is overall tone of the music. Purity Ring [...]

ALEX LASHLIE , besides having a pretty wicked last name, is a pretty rad dude on account of his musical adventures. The man's played in a fair few bands, including DREAMTWINS , THE MOTHERTONES and BIG BEAT , at the same time as he was working on solo material. Seriously, how many people can juggle all of that at once? His album Fountains of Wine was composed while LASHLIE travelled around, getting on random adventures and expanding his musical influences. The first track, 'Under NYC' begins [...]

After opening for Bon Iver in 2008, Kristian Matsson garnered countless comparisons to Bob Dylan because of his folky wanderlust and romantic, husky crooning.  Matsson’s last release, The Wild Hunt , built the foundation of his music around his potentially abrasive vocals, allowing his lyrics to shine through.  There’s No Leaving Now , his third album as The Tallest Man On Earth , is hardly a departure [...]

Odd Renditions by Oddisee I first caught D.C. rapper-producer Oddisee when Mello Music Group sent me his mostly instrumental album Rock Creek Park . While I thought the textures and samples in his instrumentals were pretty, it was a bit in-one-ear-and-out-the-other for me, sadly. However, the four tracks on this new Odd Renditions EP are really grabbing my attention. Not only does this guy showcase a driven personality and an impressive flow, but the sample material is pretty interesting as well: Marvin Gaye, Bon Iver, Metronomy, and K-Os. [...]

The new Flaming Lips collaborative album is surprisingly cohesive and coherent despite it's insane gauntlet of guests both big and small. WATCH THE REVIEW

This post is a "QuickPick". QuickPicks is our attempt at getting all of the music that's sent to us that we like (or just music we like but have no words for because it's so awesome!), out into the dubya dots, picked quickly. Less for you to read, more for you to hear. Artist:  Avec Sans (covering Bon Iver ) Genre: [...]

THE FLAMING LIPS and BON IVER collaborated for Record Store Day . Remember? Well behold, ‘Ashes in the Air,’ the first full track to be dropped from the album, The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends . Oh god this is weird. This is really really weird. Didn’t you expect this though? Shouldn’t you have known better than to NOT have expected 6 minutes of Bon Iver and [...]

For Record Store Day this year, the Flaming Lips  will be releasing a new record entitled The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends , which houses a number of collaborations between the Lips and Tame Impala , Yoko Ono , Chris Martin of Coldplay , and even Ke$ha . Today, we get to hear the highly-anticipated collaboration track with Bon Iver . "Ashes In The Air" features the classic psychedelic [...]

If you didn't already know, The Flaming Lips are weird dudes. "Ashes In The Air" is [...]

"The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends" es el titulo del material que estara editando The Flaming Lips durante el Record Store Day en el que estaran reuniendo cada una de las colaboraciones que han ido armando en los pasados 12 meses y claro, esto es algo que no me extrañaria nadita que ya supieran ya que es una de las noticias que han estado desfilando constantemente debido a que... ya saben, es The Flaming Lips . Pero bueno, dentro de todas las colaboraciones que ya hemos llegado a checar como la de Neon Indian y [...]

Laced with piano, steeped in landscapes & sugar spun with Eric Hillman & Brian Holl's perfectly complementing vocals, Anywhere But Where I Am , the debut album from the group entitled Flights is the type of music that is fits a rainy day. But it isn't completely melancholy, it just has the same soothing qualities of a deliciously grey sky and the soft pattering of rain on the window. This record is landscapes of acoustic longing and hopeful sighs, the title suggests a desire to fly from where you are, as does the [...]

Check out the U.K.'s 15 year-old Birdy covering Bon Iver 's masterful "Skinny Love" live on Conan O'Brien last night. The cover appears on her debut self-titled album released last year, but check out Bon Iver performing it live on Jools Holland back in 2008, with an infinite amount of emotion. The original, performed on Jools Holland in 2008.
