PT A nova editor Portuguesa, Chaputa! Records como primeira edição colocou cá fora o novo single dos The Maharajas e demonstra que esta banda continua a ter os seus momentos de génio no fuzzed out garage, por isso continuam a ser uma parte vital da cena garage punk em todos os lugares onde colocam os pés. “Black Box” é composto por sons mordazes de garage, com ardentes alucinações de guitarra, baixo propulsor e um órgão interestelar que ataca e encerra sinistramente o estorvo sonoro. Do outro lado, “B-Files" amplifica [...]

Boas notícias: The Astroboy, o superego de Luís Fernandes (peixe:avião), tem um novo disco a ser editado em Junho com selo Easy Pieces/PAD. Melhor notícia ainda: já é possível ouvir um dos temas desse disco, que se vai chamar Flow my tears .

PT Este 7'' da banda Canadiana, The Mystics é repleto de guitarras em reverb, uma cascata de barulho em momentos objetivos de garagem punk. "Play Your Game" encontra o ponto entre o garage rock e punk reverbed ensolarado, um punkbeat constante com mistura de ecos vocais. “Can't Be Happy” é uma esquisita bebedeira de jingle-jungle que encontra no punk um intruso. Estas músicas rebentam de entusiasmo, de alguma forma repetitivas, mas ainda assim são como uma lufada de ar fresco na cena de garage [...]

We can argue about the musical and cultural value of the Doors, but it would be straight-up inaccurate to classify them as anything less than one of America's truly legendary rock groups. And I think it's fair to say, too, that Ray Manzarek was as essential to the Doors' success as Jim Morrison, maybe more so. Manzarek more or less discovered Morrison, and encouraged him to sing, and Manzarek's keyboard was absolutely as central to the Doors' sound as Morrison's vocals (the Doors never employed a bass player, because Manzarek played those parts on his Fender Rhodes piano). When you're [...]

Following up his 2011 EP Gabriel , Joe Goddard of Hot Chip is slated to put out a follow-up called Taking Over some time this year. Its first offering is "She Burns" featuring English singer Mara Carlyle. Their union is an interesting one, as Carlyle is famous for her use of ukelele and a musical saw, but on top of Goddard's disparate, laser-laden lounge licks, she sounds like the main performer at a cabaret on Mars. Get into the groove below. Read More... [...]

Last June, we published a feature called the Top 20 Albums We've Been Waiting For Forever , counting down a bunch of our favorite artists from whom a new full-length was: (A) long overdue; and (B) not totally unrealistic. Coming in at No. 19 on that list was Queens Of The Stone Age. As we wrote in that space : Read More... [...]

The London production duo Mount Kimbie came up making evocative post-dubstep dance music around the same time as James Blake, and there seems to be a pretty good chance that their long-awaited new album Cold Spring Fault Less Youth , their first for a bigger label, could push them into Blake's cultural circles. Whether or not that happens, it's a pretty great showcase for their foggy, atmospheric blips and bloops. We've posted " Made To Stray ," " Blood And Form ," and the King Krule collab " You Took Your Time ," and now you can stream the [...]

The former Double Dagger drummer Denny Bowen now leads Roomrunner, a Baltimore band whose fuzz-drenched attack brings back the moment before Gap commercial directors figured out what grunge was. Ideal Cities , their debut album, is a big, messy, joyous guitar-assault. If your faith in effects pedals needs reaffirming, this should do the trick. We posted the anthemic opener " Bait Car " already, but now the whole album is streaming at Spin . Ideal Cities is out 5/28 on Fan Death . [...]

Well, this is pretty dope. Rookie has commissioned a theme song for the month of May, and it's badass both in theory and in execution. Waxahatchee leader Katie Crutchfield and her twin sister, Swearin' leader Allison have recorded a punked-up cover of a song that never exactly screamed for a punked-up cover: Grimes' ethereal burble " Oblivion ," which is already pretty punk in its own way. The end result, with ragged guitar-jangles and beautifully sunny harmonies, works as a refreshing take on an already-great song. Listen to it below. Read More... [...]

The great Queens rap redbeard Action Bronson is working on a full-length mixtape with the New York producer Harry Fraud, and the pair let one go earlier this year when they posted " Strictly 4 My Jeeps " online. In the track's brand-new video, from director Jason Goldwatch , Bronson takes us to a cartoonish Queens universe and shows us that he knows how to drain jump shots, prepare feasts, and turn cartwheels. The video also has a whole lot of unnecessary fat-people humor and a truly necessary Riff Raff appearance. Watch it below. Read More... [...]

22 minutos impossíveis de resistir. É difícil não ficar excitado com uma nova banda quando dela fazem parte os fundadores dos Can Irmin Schmidt e Jaki Liebezeit, assim como Burnt Friedman e Jono Podmore. Sabendo o que se sabe, é complicado não projectar imediatamente um cenário de entusiasmo tendo em conta os registos de encontros mais ou menos recentes entre estes músicos. O começo até nem é particularmente interessante: "Apostels" é mais interessante como exercício do que propriamente pelo seu resultado final. Mas depois chega "Fingers", esculpida a pensar nas múltiplas hipóteses da [...]

Young Wonder is an electro-pop duo from Cork, Ireland who have a mastery for crafting lush, skittering soundscapes. "Electrified" combines big, bright synths and features lead singer Rachel Koeman's hitting the hook's high notes while harmonizing with monster-sound vocal distortion. Its video was directed by fellow Irishmen, Brendan Canty and Conal Thomson of the art collective Feel Good Lost, who have worked with Passion Pit and Keep Shelley In Athens, among others. Says Canty (not of Fugazi and Rites Of Spring fame) of the clip, "We and the band talked a lot about creating a more montage-based, pop-style video that [...]

Last month, Cassie, the queen of breathy-robot electro-R&B, released her insanely great RockaByeBaby mixtape, which would still be the year's best mixtape if Chance The Rapper's Acid Rap hadn't come along. The tape ended with the twinkly, luxurious " All My Love ." And now the Brooklyn dance producer Kingdom has reworked the track, though he didn't exactly overhaul it. Instead, he stretched out its titanic computer-groove to nearly twice its length, adding in some subtle touches. Listen to his edit below. Read More... [...]

Bennio Qwerty is a new project with its foundation in the foundation of one of my favorite bars on the South Side of Williamsburg, Bar Donna. And "its foundation in the foundation" is not a typo: guitarist/singer Mike Barron and bassist Nathan Delffs met onsite-constructing the bar's elegant woodwork, discovering a shared love for the likes of Lungfish, Scott Walker, and Drive Like Jehu while laying the beams. Barron's been on these pages already, as a bassist for his past project North Highlands; before Bennio, Delffs played in Forest Fire, and drummer Louie Glaser comes from Wise Blood . [...]

On the new double album Drifters/Love Is The Devil , Alex Zhang Hungtai's Dirty Beaches project pushes its combination of tense lo-fi noise and sweaty rockabilly beyond its logical conclusion, laying on the bad vibes incredibly thick. And the group's new video for the knife-edge throb " Casino Lisboa " has its own dark glamor to it. The video was shot in some Asian metropolis (Bangkok, I'm thinking), and it mixes footage of the Dirty Beaches live show with images of local breakdancers, strippers, and Muay Thai fighters. Watch it below. Read More... [...]

Vetiver-offshoot Pure Bathing Culture will follow-up their 2012 self-titled EP this summer with their debut full-length Moon Tides . Its first single, the album lead-off, "Pendulum" sets us up for what should surely be an album of sumptuous indie pop, the track thick and gleaming. Check it out below. Read More... [...]

The Pennsylvanian croaker-songwriter Daughn Gibson is about to drop sophomore album Me Moan , which features guitar work from Baroness's John Baizley, and we got a taste of his new scorched-earth sound when we posted first single " The Sound Of Law ." And now we get to hear the album track "You Don't Fade," which pulls tons of tense atmosphere from a stuttering sample and Gibson's own screwed-up Nick Cave voice. It's a heavy song, and you can use the widget below to stream or download it. Read More... [...]

In the starkly arty black-and-white video for their charged-up anthem "Best Of Friends," we see the members of the anarchic, party-starting British band Palma Violets rocking out before a bored and hostile crowd and committing petty acts of street crime. It's a far cry from the drunken revelry of their " We Found Love " video, but it has its own kind of energy to it. Watch the video below. Read More... [...]

You don't throw a music festival on the beach and neglect to invite Best Coast . Gulf Shores isn't what Bethany Cosentino had in mind when she named her band, but even she saw the parallels: "This next song, it's about California, but all of the things I talk about in it you guys have here." They then commenced with "The Only Place," one of the nearly indistinguishable (but identically awesome) sunshine refractions they performed at the Chevrolet Stage just after noon Sunday. Cosentino is one of those pop savants whose every lazy melody seems like the product of [...]

Oh his new album Wrote A Song For Everyone , the former Creedence Clearwater Revival yowler John Fogerty has recruited a whole mess of famous people to help him revive a bunch of his old band's songs. The album's roster of guests is a pretty schizophrenic one; it's got My Morning Jacket, Dawes, Jennifer Hudson, Kid Rock, and the like. And on the album's version of the righteously aggrieved CCR classic " Fortunate Son ," Fogerty shares the track with the Foo Fighters. And if you ever wanted to hear that song's swampy power swapped out for compressed crunch-rock [...]
