In the spirit of the xx's latest album, Coexist , we want to know what that one thing you can't live without is. One rule though: no music, food or people. Hope that [...]
Tegan And Sara Quin, as a pairing, couldn't possibly be a more singular proposition: two identical, Uranian twins of a strong sociopolitical persuasion and endowed with an abiding penchant for all things purportedly emo , they've taken the genre's more introspective moments to an astoundingly exoteric audience and blown them up into anthems many a suburban arena would struggle to contain. They are, moreover, something of a guilty pleasure for many – one of which some strive to rid themselves. And it therefore seems rather suitable that for this, their seventh studio full-length, they should translate their aching [...]

Over the course of five studio albums, Akron/Family have developed their own unique take on psychedelic rock that straddles the line between Animal Collective’s knob turning weirdness, the Grateful Dead’s early ’60s primordial acid-drenched material and Middle Eastern-drenched ragas. On April 30, the Brooklyn and Portland-based band will release their latest full-length effort - Sub Verses via Dead Oceans, and have lined up a month-long North American tour in support. The band, who tend to stretch their songs out live, often past [...]

Around this time last year, we were all enjoying new albums from Phoenix , Passion Pit, Dirty Projectors, and Grizzly Bear, paving the way for good spirited, if slightly effeminate, summer. A year later, our summer is looking to be much of the same, as all are still going strong and making sure every single one of you sees them live at some point (somehow, Dirty Projectors are the only one of these I have ever seen. Weird.) Take Phoenix, which could have sworn was playing every festival imaginable last year, yet somehow seems to be playing every festival again this year. I [...]

There isn't that can be said about St. Vincent 's most recent studio LP and supporting world tour that hasn't been said already. Between the 4 ½ star album and stints with Andrew Bird and Grizzly Bear , the whole year has been one awesome trip! And the best part is the musician born Annie Clark is showing no signs of slowing down. After a short, much deserved breaking following her remaining European tour dates [...]
Considering the sheer awesomeness that was Grizzly Bear 's Veckatimest , it's not surprising to learn that the indie rockers/ friends of Jay-Z / New Moon soundtrack contributors are milking their third full-length for all it is worth. The latest Veckatimest related offering comes in the form of a brand new, Allison Schulnik created music video for the track "Ready, Able". As you'll see below, utilizes rather colorful and creepy (with a particular emphasis on creepy) Clay animation, resulting in something that is both [...]
