The Griswolds.

Sep 30, 2012, 12:57pm Musical Mover & Shaker!

The Griswolds are a breath of fresh air. I recently discovered and immediately fell in love with them. They remind of the Shins, Boy and Bear with an added touch of shimmering vocals and indie pop sensibilities. The band just released their EP ' Heart of a Lion ' and it is infectious, charming and one you will have on repeat for the next while. They are now set to sweep around Australia with fellow Triple J Unearthed winners The Belligerents. Oh and they are playing  PARKLIFE FESTIVAL , sharing the stage with Passion Pit, Tame Impala, [...]

New Music Releases For Tuesday 7/24/2012

Jul 25, 2012, 11:01am Music Under Fire

This week is particularly special, and I'll tell you why.  One of our favorite albums this year is out today!  In addition to the ridiculous amount of great music out this week (perhaps the best week yet this summer), that stunning album we're excited about comes  from The Blakes , titled Art of Losses .  The album itself moves from The Dandy Warhols' to Modest Mouse and David Bowie-like vocals.  The album is inescapable, offering something for every rock genre all the way down to my favorite track (surely to be on our year end lists) titled "Sea [...]

Passion Pit: Constant Conversations

Jul 9, 2012, 4:59pm Kick Kick Snare

Not gonna lie folks, this is the music hipster babies are gonna be made to. Passion Pit are making us very excited for their new LP, Gossamer , which is coming out in just a few short weeks on July 24th. Their first single off the new album, 'Take a Walk' is an upbeat synth filled track, in contrast with 'Constant Conversation' we get a sensual, relaxed, and R&B soaked sound with the perfect amount of bright indie pop seeping through and into the infectious chorus. Gossamer is shaping up to be something [...]

Passion Pit: Take A Walk

May 8, 2012, 8:24am Sloane Ranger

Passion Pit's Gossamer comes out on July 24 and "Take A  Walk" is our first taste. Michael Angelakos has made it clear this album is going to be a change of pace from the beloved Manners , but "Take A Walk" acts as a nice follow up, just as catchy as anything on Manners . Personally, I have kept this on repeat since yesterday. More please.

Xaphoon Jones Mixtape Vol. 2

Apr 5, 2011, 6:04pm Sample This

Part of me doesn't want to like Xaphoon Jones, but the only reason I can think of as to why is because of jealousy. This guy gets to run around, party his balls off, and make music every single day. Not to mention he has a knack for picking out catchy samples and creating his own style with them. 3 days ago he put out his second mixtape, and just like the first it's packed with familiar sounds served up in fresh ways. Mashups, remixes, covers, originals, whatever you want to call them, these tracks are really fun to listen [...]

Been itching for that Lil Wayne "rock" album that probably isn't very rocky at all? Well, it appears it's finally arrived. But I'm not holding my breath til I see it on the shelves. Otherwise it's a pretty dead week. Unless you like The Album Leaf , Blind Man's Colour , Mount Eerie , Passion Pit , Priestess , Rob Zombie or Sole . In which case it's not really a dead week at all. :: The Album Leaf , [...]
