Rolling Stone premiered the new Howler video 'Back Of Your Neck' yesterday. Howler are a 5-piece band out of Minneapolis that have been cashing in on some big time sounds. They have their full-length debut album America Give Up set for release on Rough Trade Records on January 17th, 2012. 'Back Of Your Neck' is the lead single to the debut album and the video was directed by friend of the band, Robert Semmer. Howler frontman, Jordan Gatesmith reminds me of a young Julian Casablancas in sound and looks. [...]

Welcome to another extreme and nicely fitting HOTT Mix . As you may have guessed at one point or another, we MFRers are from a cold-ass part of these United States. However, tundra-like reputation aside, for some reason the snow is two months late up in here. This mix dares to ask the question: What’s the deal nature? With a heavy accent on wildlife. Hope you enjoy it. Spread the word and be sure to support the artists you enjoy. Sharon Van Etten - “Serpents” [...]
How-How-How have Howler only just migrated over here? The Minneapolis four piece play their first show tonight on British soil before they embark on a 10 date nationwide tour with their London equivalent, The Vaccines, a band whose success rate for this year is off the scale. The Garage is popular this evening and they're raring to show everyone why they should be hooting about Howler. Read more..
Howler released a free MP3 of their next single “Back Of Your Neck” recently. After giving it a listen or three, I am still not entirely sure what the song is about but it sounds pretty lovely. It’s kinda surfy with some American Classic nostalgia to it. Makes you wanna slick your hair back and throw on that tight leather jacket. Or maybe that’s how you normally dress. Also, damn. The art for America Give Up is very aesthetically pleasing. Simple, but sexy. MP3: Howler - Back Of Your Neck
Although I'm obviously somewhat biased, it is my firm belief that Meek is Murder's Algorithms is one of the best albums of the year, and it's stayed in my regular rotation pretty much since the band first let me hear this past winter. It is also my firm belief that Meek is Murder live is an [...]

In our review of tUnE-yArDs ’ w h o k i l l earlier this year, writer Caitlin Meyer speculated that Merrill Garbus’s resonant, emphatically atonal rhythmic and vocal loops would never appear on any Top 40 lists. But Saturday night’s show at First Avenue, which included every kind of sweepingly generalized demographic, reminded me of an article I read recently on NPR Music, which suggested that “indie” music has become “adult contemporary”; and it seems that Merrill Garbus might, for many Minnesotans, be the new Sara Bareilles or Kenny Chesney. With that in [...]
