Brand new Autolux video for Transit Transit closer, "The Science of Imaginary Solutions", imagined and directed by Thomas McMann and Mark Whalen. Intense.

Kolkata experimental rock act PINKNOISE comes back to Mumbai to play at Hard Rock Cafe on Thursday, Feb 9 . We caught up with frontlady Jayashree Singh who filled us in on what the audience can expect from Thursday night's set. PINKNOISE's latest EP, called The Dance Of The Diaspora , will be the main focus of the performance. "The EP has never been performed in Mumbai," explains Singh, "so that will be something new for the audiences. Since Hard Rock requires a band to play for an hour and 45 minutes, we will also be playing [...]

Os Tanlines, duo norte-americano que se posiciona algures entre os progressivos Battles e algumas bandas mais moderadas que se passeiam calmamente pelo indie-pop, encontrando-se em algo que definem como electro-tropical enquanto criadores de remisturas. Consolidaram-se como banda há pouco tempo e lançaram um EP, 'Settings', que não passou despercebido por algumas esferas musicais espalhadas

Já perto do fim de ano, hoje é dia de antecipar o riso e a alegria e voar no synthpop para mais uma noite "Underground Uprising", comigo a obrigar-te a antecipar o ano de 2012, hehe. A partir das 23h00, no MexeCafé, Rua do Trombeta, 4, ao Bairro Alto, em Lisboa. A aproveitar que o fim do ano aí está e que o fim do balanço musical de 2011 também, altura certa para

"Time Baby 2" is simultaneously one of the most widely heard Medicine songs...

"Disse che l'aveva trovato, doveva uccidere il lupo, ma il lupo non morì mai. Doveva avvolgersi nella sua pelle perché stava pensando, disse alla foresta, stava pensando al modo per farlo guarire, quel povero leone" Tal como nos anos anteriores, o top das músicas de 2011 aparecerá neste blog em forma de clip, na designação Top Tracks 40-2011. Sim, 40. Este ano desvalorizei ligeiramente a

Noah Lennox, otherwise known as Panda Bear from the much-loved experimental rock group, Animal Collective, kept busy this past year, even outside of his band. He released a great album, Tomboy, and is now releasing a 4-disc deluxe copy of it with a shitton of demos and what not... this is a demo for one of my favorites from the album, "You Can Count On Me," done acapella style. Check it out homes

Captured Tracks wins again. The best little label on Earth is reissuing Medicine's Shot Forth Self Living , and one of my all-time favorite and most influential records, The Buried Life . You will never hear anyone making guitar sounds like Medicine did on these two records, ever. Think of it this way; if Kobe Bryant is My Bloody Valentine and Medicine is LeBron James who wins in a one-on-one half-court game? ( via )

Tom Waits' newest album, Bad As Me , feels like a nice change from boring ol' Rock & Roll. In fact, it's everything but! As one goes from track to track, there's soul, jazz, folk, some Spanish-sounding ballads, and more. Tom Waits has always been a versatile artist, and he sure shows it on his newest offering. Take the opening track, "Chicago." It feels like the studio engineer hit "record" just a few seconds after the band started playing, and you're a little late to the party. It's disconcerting, but (somehow) it's also pretty cool sounding. After a [...]

Center of the Sun by EYE Some long, winding psych and prog rock tunes from the new EYE album, Center of the Sun . While these guys don't exactly put a new face on this kind of stuff, they perform it with a lotta passion and attention to detail. Plus, a lotta the instrumentation is pretty friggin' sinister. Stream it above, download it on Bandcamp , and stay awesome.

There's nothing small about this album.

So I am kind of obsessed with this song right now. CANT is the solo project of Grizzly Bear's bassist Chris Taylor. A collection of chilled out electronic melodies that will have you contemplating love, life and painful heartbreak. I found that I connected with this album instantly. It is bluesy, emotional and experimental and I like it. Believe - CANT Dreams Come True 2011 ( Terrible Records )

New Delhi gypsy-jazz act Peter Cat Recording Co played the The Living Room Cafe, New Delhi on Friday, August 26. Despite oddities in the audience (a girl pulling up a stool and sitting right in front of the keyboardist), the band pulled off a good show with a complicated set up and a classic Bollywood film playing on the backdrop. The setlist included stuff off their debut album Sinema (review here ). We've got a few of photos from the gig below. Photos by [...]

Bradford Cox está (uma vez mais) de volta, aliás, acho que ele nunca está de volta porque, na realidade, está sempre presente. De qualquer forma, está de volta através do seu alter ego Atlas Sound, com um novo álbum a sair a 7 Nov '11, álbum este intitulado 'Parallax'. Um tema que avança já o que se poderá esperar deste novo trabalho é "Terra Incognita" que já tem clip semi-oficial avançado pela

Mumbai rock act The Pulp Society played the Blue Frog, Mumbai on Tuesday, August 9. Despite the elaborately adorned stage and inclusion of additional vocalists and new instruments to the band's sound, the gig was pretty similar to a previous outing we attended. While frontman Imaad Shah pulled off a characteristically efficient stage act, the music failed to impress. Singers Saba Azad and Rachel Varghese featured on backing vocals for the second half of the set. The band's experiments involved the inclusion of a violin, bongo, saxophone and trumpet in addition to [...]
