We Can't Enjoy Ourselves don't produce the typical New York jangle pop – their brand is saucy & reckless, like a combination of The Smiths and Pavement (whose song 'We Dance' perhaps their name references). Their bio states: " There once was a band in New York called We Can't Enjoy Ourselves . They were young, energetic, and happy; one day they abandoned their matronly motown shuffle for the sake of a younger genre; they loved, but they were not loved. Their lives ended in disaster. " The 7-song EP One [...]

Words by Jim My inbox gets annihilated by emails on a daily basis. I almost feel bad for it. PR people from around the globe send us the most random stuff. Seriously, I'm not saying that we are super important and we have PR agents banging our door down, because that's definitely not the case. It's just the power of Google and Twitter search, I guess. If we feature a band from the UK, you can bet that two days later we'll have emails about the newest dub step grunge trip hop artist from [...]
1. Snowmine - "The Hill" Typically by the time there's snow settling outside I'm listening religiously to somber acoustic songs. This year that has not been the case.Brooklyn natives Snowmine and their sweet little track "The Hill" exemplifies the more upbeat music I'm digging into lately.

Wednesday, January 11, 2012 So winter break is coming to a close, and college students everywhere (myself included) are packing their bags and sighing heavily. I've been at my parents' house this break, spending a lot of time listening to old mix CDs I have stashed here. There are some particularly excellent ones that someone made for me a few years back, and Pavement is a pretty heavily featured band. I had sort of forgotten about Pavement in the last couple years, and now I realize how wrong that is. I feel ashamed even [...]
![[Introducing] – Slothbear](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3935936_lg.jpg)
Tweet It doesn't take long to pick up on the crisp autumnal backdrop that was taking place while Slothbear was recording its latest EP "Canter On" . Recorded during one weekend in the fall of this year and released 1st November, Slothbear' s haunting effort explores the echoing walls of guitarist Josh Ginsberg's newly vacated childhood home. The concept behind it was a final send-off for the home that held a lifetime's worth of memories within its walls. [...]

Words by Brendan Here's a tip: if you make reference to a bunch of bands I like and say you sound like them, there's a good chance I'll probably listen to your music. There's an overwhelming amount of new music out there these days, and having some kind of filter to say, "Oh hey, I might like this" is incredibly helpful. Now, that said, you gotta deliver. I don't fall in love with every band that says they sound like The Modern Lovers , The Beach Boys , and Pavement . [...]

When you get a press release that mentions Belle and Sebastian , The Flaming Lips and Pavement all at once, you've either got to be excited or scared. After listening to this single from The Color Bars , I will definitely say I'm leaning towards excitement, and clamoring to get my hands on their recently released record, Prosopopoeia . Really, it's just great pop music, and with the electronic influence on this track, I'm getting more of an Of Montreal feeling here, giving [...]
SINGLES: Lets kick this Month's Crop of manly Movember single reviews with South London's lively band called Dead Social Club . Despite the mention of a Jeffrey on the self titled song from EP 'Syrian Kisses' it is not a reference to all inclusive recreational joint from Take Me To The Greek with P-Diddy. This is classic Brit electronic indie rock mixing all of the glorious warehouse vibes into one head bopping tune via their 6 piece ensemble. Syrian Kisses MP3 by Dead Social Club [...]
