Our buddy Stephen over at The Flying Flatcap asked me to do a little write-up on my favourite album artwork! There have been some pretty amazing releases lately, so here are a few of my favourites, along with a little blurb on why each one is stellar! Just click on the photo, and read away!

It's the studio project of a solo musician who quit playing live for other bands to record his own material. It is darkly rhythmic, lo-fi, spooky, midnight folk inspired by el Día de los Muertos, Señora de las Sombras and anything on the darker side of folklore. The music has been described most aptly as if someone had attacked a Bon Iver master tape with a mix of hydrochloric acid and whiskey. Two EPs have been recorded (Quiet Haunt, Brittle Breeze) both of which are free to download from the usual places. A third EP is on the [...]

Free Weed // On the Moon / Get It 2Nite The only thing Erik Gage, the ultimate musical savant burnout, does more than smoke weed is record music. He records as or with The Memories , White Fang , and Free Weed and his output is… hefty. As Free Weed , Erik has bounced around from tape label to tape label for all of his various releases. In addition to releasing stuff through Gnar Tapes [...]

Het tweetal Maan duikt ergens vorig jaar opeens op in Vlaanderen, eerst met de Khomeini 99 tape op het Smeltkop label, daarna ook live, onder andere in het voorprogramma van Fushitsusha in Brussel. Al snel wordt duidelijk dat Tim Depraetere en Simon Apers een act vormen dat tot de meest veelbelovende van België mag worden gerekend. Ze hebben geen reden gezien om de boel langer te laten rijpen en nemen in twee dagen het debuutalbum op: Manifold , dat recent verscheen bij het net zo Belgische KRAAK . [...]

Artwork por Pecco Compilados hispanos hay varios. No miles, pero sí los hay. Curiosamente, los que me vienen a la mente no fueron aquéllos que destacaron por tener mis artistas favoritos o las canciones más prendidas, sino por lo que me hicieron ver. De éstos tengo muy presentes dos acoplados. Estuvo aquél donde conocí a Celesta en la cesta y Ella tiene dos androides, cual me hizo llegar Carlos Pesina de Los Amparito (también colaborando ahí). Se trataba del I Have A Photogram Of You de At At At Records, donde si bien no [...]

I started this tape before I left to the US for a month and after my return I added the latest bits and pieces. I think it's a nice mixture of garage folk, pop punk, psychedelic pop, post-punk and I don't know what else. I just hope you enjoy and share it. Cover picture is taken at Anna Maria Island, FL - God's Waitingroom. I catched a glimpse of summer there and a sunburn. Coming back in my freezing mountain home was kind of a bummer. My appartment was chilled down to 4°C... [...]

The Empty Bottle hosted a night of art pop gems on Saturday March 30th, featuring two local one-man acts, Jimmy Whispers and Advance Base , and touring band Parenthetical Girls as headliners. It was a show made up of charming frontmen, couples hand-holding, and dark songs that made smiles. Up first was Chicago’s Jimmy Whispers , main man of Light Pollution , performing as a solo project. Insistent upon enlivening the sparse crowd, Whispers started his set with some pushups and a gap-toothed grin. A [...]

possession (quiet) starry cat starry cat Starry Cat // Starry Cat I know that Sam Ray has voracious fans on every corner of this earth (and most of them reside on Tumblr) so I have no doubt that this will be gobbled up. But this solo project of his called Starry Cat has a more important reason for existing on the internet than [...]
A new, downtrodden track from Elvis Depressedly-a.k.a. Mat Cothran, a.k.a. Coma Cinema -and, yeah, it's as depressing and gloom as one would anticipate. Still, the song has an eerie quality to its sadness. It's the kind of sadness that feels like it's approaching the end of something-or, rather, the edge of something. Elvis Depressedly's next album, holo pleasures , will be out via Birdtapes in the middle of April.

Those who like their rock noisy will dig No Soul by Brookyln based quartet, Fantasmas . Give it a spin below. No Soul is the ‘B’ side to the bands Static/No Soul which was released in January 2013.

" debris\ " es el primer corte de lo que se espera será el álbum debut de esta banda originaria de Lisboa, Portugal. Con esto, hubo una entrevista de la revista Vice Portugal a este joven, y aunque nunca está de más leer los sueños más húmedos de los que allí escriben, con sus respectivas chichis ilustrando los textos, la verdad es que no me animé a intentar traducir de portugués a español y pasar mal la información. Mejor les comento que el punto principal de ésta (un nuevo tema de Tropical Tobacco ) es más de [...]
DOWNLOAD I’m a sucker for hilariously misguided attempts by non-English speakers to communicate like subjects of the Queen. I find things such as signs inviting one to “play bowling – breaking down the pins and get hot communication” to be endlessly amusing. [...]

Hollow Everdaze is a rising "neo-psychedelic" quartet from the psych rock breeding ground of Melbourne, Australia. Formed in 2007, the band has been cutting their teeth on constant gigging and experimenting with recording amongst themselves, having only released two singles publicly in Selfish and Handsome Sums . Currently, the band is preparing the release of their debut self-titled album later this month and are riding the wave of acclaim received from Selfish and its accompanying music video . Selfish [...]

Dead Friends is a nice fuzzed-out alternative pop gem from London's Breathe Out , a foursome that just released their sophomore EP entitled Absolute True Love with Art is Hard Records. The lead single showcases the band's signature dead pan delivery over quirky distorted guitar swirls and catchy pop vocal overlaps reminiscent of vintage Weezer and Pavement. You can grab the CD (UK based label) and get a free digi download with your purchase or [...]
