Portada del nuevo disco de Crocodiles Desde San Diego , California , el quinteto Crocodiles regresará este verano con un nuevo álbum titulado Crimes of Passion . De este trabajo, la banda nos presenta su primer sencillo bajo el nombre de "Cockroach", el cual como todo el disco, cuenta con la colaboración de Sune Rose Wagner en la producción. Crimes of Passion verá la luz el 20 de agosto a través de Frenchkiss .
Otro leak de la prolífica Lana Del Rey . Se trata de Queen of Disaster , canción perteneciente a las sesiones del Born To Die realizadas en 2011 junto al productor Chris Braide. En el tema, que quedó finalmente descartado para el álbum (alguien se equivocó), tenemos a Lana más animada que de costumbre y con un cierto y agradable sabor Motown.

Jungle Gym. Santiago, Chile We handed the boys in Toro y Moi an old camera + some film from our friends at the Impossible Project and asked them to document their tour for us, and they came through in pretty spectacular fashion. Check out their photos from TX, South America, and elsewhere around the world; all captions/images by the band: Chaz and Earl. Austin, Texas Family. [...]
Beck en vivo desde California Hasta ayer el Song Reader de Beck sólo existía en partituras y en versiones grabadas por otras bandas, no interpretado por el propio Beck. Eso cambió durante su aparición en el Rio Theater de Santa Cruz , California , ya que el músico tocó "Sorry" y "Heaven's Ladder". El 4 de julio, Beck presentará el disco completo en Londres al lado de nombres como Jarvis Cocker , Franz Ferdinand , Beth Orton , Charlotte Gainsbourg , Joan as a Police [...]
Dreaming , canción perfecta para levantar el lunes y primer single de este nuevo cuarteto de Los Angeles llamado Smallpools . El disco ha sido producido por Captain Cuts y lleva camino de convertirse en uno de los éxitos del verano.
Operating out of Alhambra, California, the Second Helping signed on the dotted line with the local Viva label, where they issued three singles during their livelihood. None of these discs troubled the charts, but they were quite good and makes one wish the band would have pursued their craft a bit longer so they would have recorded a whole album. [...]

You can count on some wild and crazy harmonies, intriguing musical mystery, [...]
Now warming up for the release of their fifth full-length in seven years, San Francisco duo The Dodos haven't exactly held us forever rapt over the course of their discography. Sophomore recording Visiter was a personal fave, although elsewhere they've faltered for want of a more tender term as Meric Long and Logan Kroeber have often fallen for the predictable, or worse still the plainly soporific. Though if a perfunctory peek into the inner workings of the forthcoming Carrier should be any genuine yardstick, then they've set their sights far higher than they have of late, and [...]
If you listen to ska at all, you know who Jesse Michaels is, and if not you probably at least have heard of his most famous project Operation Ivy, the quintessential ska-punk band. Perhaps you're a fan and have listened to his other band Common Rider (have I dropped enough names for you yet?) After Common Rider's demise Michaels went on sort of a musical hiatus, but recently came back to music with his latest punk band Classics of Love, and their Self Titled album is definitely a high energy punk album that any fan should check out.

![[MP3] Fialta: “Photographs”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4952116_lg.jpg)
I wrote about Fialta, the 'fun-loving California indie pop group,' back in May of 2011, and my opinion hasn't much changed. They're keeping things light and sugary on their upcoming full-length, and "Photographs," the first single, is a prime example. Even though they're in sunny Cal all year round, they know what it's like for us seasonal people. The album, Summer Winter , set for a July 23 wide release, is perfect summer music. So thank you in advance, Fialta, for making my summer that much better. Fialta on Facebook [...]
As 20132s reply to the strong-but-weathered legacy of bands like Brand New or The Get Up Kids, and even Joan of Arc and The Anniversary, The American Scene's thoughtful, pop-infused indie rock is something too many fans of clever lyrics and depressing hooks have overlooked as of late. Kids seem to be sprinting past their merch table and gobbling up the more sugary, and even aggressive, output from their peers and label contemporaries at shows where TAS opens for The Story So Far, State Champs, et al. Meanwhile the boys keep pumping out incredible track after incredible track, [...]
The Wall Street Journal rifled through Chris Christie's campaign documents that were released on Monday and discovered that the New Jersey governor owes a political debt to Silicon Valley. In short, $590,000 of the $6 million sitting in Gov's campaign piggy bank for his 2014 reelection comes from West coast tech - $700,000 if you count non-Cali tech magnates. From WSJ : Residents of the Golden State gave more than $590,000 in reportable contributions to Mr. Christie's campaign, second only to New Jersey gifts, an analysis of campaign documents released Monday [...]
Afincados en Los Ángeles, Freedom Fry es un dúo compuesto por la parisina Marie Seyrat y Bruce Driscoll, nativo de Michigan. Seyrat proviene del mundo de la moda y Driscoll ha estado involucrado en el negocio de la música desde muy joven. Friends And Enemies , su nuevo Ep que puedes escuchar íntegramente aquí, es el atractivo resultado obtenido de la experimentación y la mezcla de sonidos más oscuros y minimalistas con líneas más bailables. El disco se publicará en Europa en julio.
Los componentes de Silver Swans ha decidido tomarse un descanso en la grabación de su segundo álbum para remezclar una de las canciones de Bankrupt! , el nuevo álbum de Phoenix. El tema elegido por el dúo de San Francisco ha sido Trying To Be Cool . Aquí está el resultado.
![East of LA Premiere: Dre.Biggity – Apollo [MP3]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4944553_lg.jpg)
Dre Biggity has quietly been a source of influence in the hip-hop scene for several years. When not on his grind furthering the presence of the UTB Life$tyle brand, he has patiently worked to polish his flow and cadences, finding himself ready to release his next project Cali Trill: The Art of Turnin 2 to 4 . “Apollo” and “Axis” are both BatmanOnTheBeatz produced tracks, which he has selectively chosen to exhibit the signature style he has honed, easily adapting to two very different production sounds. On “Apollo”, Batman provides a slap, featuring a hypnotic synth, hard drums and [...]
![[stream] Hunter Hunted // Operating](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4943240_lg.jpg)
Where have I heard Hunter Hunted’s “Operating” before? Was it in a dream? (More likely, it was in a commercial, or in the background somewhere when I wasn’t paying attention.) But the song is instantly familiar, like I’ve known it all along, a lingering vestige of some previous life. "Operating" is destined for highway drives, for scenic overlooks, for iPhone commercials that you hate to love. If you could Instagram songs, this one would be best in a kind of hazy, sepia tone. The band's debut EP - a five-song, self-titled affair - is available right this minute. [...]
"The Critically acclaimed rock duo of vocalist/guitarist Zack Lopez and vocalist/drummer Sean Stockham have shared stages with the likes of Muse, Social Distortion, Them Crooked Vultures, Alice In Chains, 30 Seconds To Mars and Linkin Park and more than held their own, drawing rave reviews from NME, the BBC, Alternative Press and Kerrang! Lopez and Stockham are raising the bar with 'Pick Up Your Head', an album that sees the duo opening up their sound. Mixed by Grammy winning producer Dave Sardy (Johnny Cash, LCD Soundsystem, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds), the album was produced by the duo working alone [...]
