Matt And Kim (a/k/a Matt Johnson and Kim Schifino) have a new album Grand . It is filled with Vermont-recorded BKLYNsynthpop. Get ready for handclaps everyone. First off, this one is less punky, more mid tempo. I am kind of interested in hearing how some of the songs will sound live. Plus, I must say I am surprised that the album doesn't come preloaded with remixes (note: there is one "outro mix"), but I guess we will have to wait for the remixes in the coming months. Anyway, the new album looks like this: [...]

Lithops is the solo disguise of Jan St. Werner known for his work in Mouse on Mars, Microstoria and his most recent collaboration with Mark E Smith and Andi Toma as Von Sudenfed. With Ye Viols!, Lithops presents a selection of installation soundtracks assembled from several recent exhibitions. Ye Viols! can be seen as soundtrack music for a visual utopia: a recombined industrial iconography of
Lithops, so wikipedia tells me, are flowers which look like stones, existing on the boundary between warm and cold, between beautiful and brick. Lithops is also the side project of Jan St Werner, of Mouse On Mars, a band who hold a special place in my heart, being the first band I saw live [...]

Written by Fense Listening to Lithops for the first time, I had the distinct feeling I was watching someone play a video game. It took me back to the days of the original Nintendo. But not the game console, the games themselves. The music is much too advanced for such a system. When I hear Lithops, I can't help but think I'm watching Super Mario Brothers On Crack played by a wide-eyed meth head. Level Two, "Rosa In A Light Speed Vessel" finds [...]
>> [PHOTO: Valérie Jodoin-Keaton] Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond, Jr. in recent years has proven himself a more reliable purveyor of solid indie rock music than The Strokes themselves. This is unfair to the group, of course, which still struggles with meeting the insurmountable expectations set by its stunning 2001 debut. But Mr. Hammond 's records sound unencumbered by such concerns and embrace and deploy a broader arsenal of textures and tones, and his forthcoming collection ¿Cómo Te Llama? may be his best yet. Highlights include the straight-ahead rock of "In My [...]

Of Norway - Arch Enemy (Mix 1) ( alt link ) Taken from the excellent new compilation I Love Norway this track from duo Of Norway provides an atmosphere that swathes its listener with an abundance of exquisitely applied sounds layered over an inherently minimal backbone. Nice. John Tejada & Arian Leviste - Mathemagician ( alt link ) This could soundtrack the workings of a complex machine. Formulaic and crisp. The machine would be [...]
