Three "Wednesday is the new Friday" reasons to mosey on down to Schubas tonight... 1. Having a (slight) bit of down time can be a marvelous thing, especially when members of bands such as Disappears, Heavy Times and Verma decide to join forces. E+ specialize in doling out rhythms so fuzzy, creating atmosphere so dark and moody that they ultimately entrance the listener with swirling fits of minimalist psychedelics. LISTEN: " {Mithra} Sunn 88 (Live at Beat Kitchen) " [...]
You might recognize the low register howl of Jered Gummere from his previous band The Ponys. Bare...

Glorious news came down the pike today, and we are happy to bring it to you. The Shins released the first single from their forthcoming album - the first one since 20072s Wincing The Night Away (Man, it's really been four years!?) - Port of Morrow today, and it's a soaring, anthemic sort of song [...]

Stay tuned for our songs lists in the days to come! #10 Youth Lagoons - Year of Hibernation (Fat Possum) In a recent interview I read with Trevor Powers, Youth Lagoon's brainchild, he described how he suffered terrible anxiety-an anxiety that led him [...]
medieval hipster hippie folk pop Christmas music and Medieval music are usually a red rag to me. But that means nothing if I like a band. So Carloman - the composing corpse of Walther from the Birdwillow (translate Walther von der Vogelweide) send us the holy message via a bandcamp account from the past. Or something like that. Burn incense and stream / download this great piece. 9/10 [ This is the summary, read the whole story on Website ] [...]
geronimo! Three the-heart-of-rock-and-roll-is- still-beating reasons to head down to Panchos tonight... 1. The 90s were a good decade for establishing the parameters of today's indie rock scene: aggressive, yet Weezer-like in its nerdish leanings. Chicago trio Geronimo! utilize this formula well on the its 2010 LP Fuzzy Dreams and reach new impressive heights on the a Bandcamp teaser for its upcoming follow-up. Come out for the tasty melodic jams and stay for the wailing distortion emitted through Geronimo's speaker stack. LISTEN: " Design Yourself a [...]
Il tempo non è poi questo gran male, dopotutto. Basta usarlo bene, e si può tirare qualsiasi cosa, come un elastico, finché da una parte o dall'altra si spacca, e eccoti lì, con tutta la tragedia e la disperazione ridotta a due nodini fra pollice e indice delle due mani . È quanto scriveva Faulkner nei primissimi anni 30. Questa era la sua concezione del dolore. E del tempo. In quegli anni la cosa più grossa che riusciva a frapporsi tra la vita ed il suo umido e fumoso Mississippi era la Grande Depressione. O anche la questione [...]

One of my favorite songs of (late) last year finally has a well-deserved video. Shot along the eastern coast of Australia in a time-lapse technique that actually takes hours of editing to piece together. Video director Dylan Wiehahn uses color, time, and texture, all set in a natural wonderland to give you: "An exploration into [...]

Give it to the gents in Unknown Mortal Orchestra for not only making one of the most enjoyable psych-pop albums of the year but for including hot babes in every one of them. Michael James Johnson directs "Bicycle", which includes a beautiful woman doing sexy things like smoking and driving a hot rod.
Out a few weeks back, this cheery popsicle from Dalston's Weird Dreams has carefree guitar riffs that make me smile at strangers and gaily skip down escalators. (out on Tough Love ; via SEXBEAT ) Weird Dreams - Holding Nails (single version) by Tough Love
Click image to download full album Sounds like: The Unicorns, The Fiery Furnaces "Of Montreal - Wintered Debts" What's so good? Extravagant rocksters Of Montreal are due to release their newest installment, Paralytic Stalks , in early 2012. In the meantime, they have treated fans to a glimpse of what we can expect from their new album with the vividly weird track "Wintered Debts." This 7-minute epic is an assemblage of sounds [...]
MP3 A new track from Athens, Georgia band Of Montreal. If y'all watch my reviews, you know how I feel about the band's trajectory , but this song is an obvious trek backwards into older sounds. Well, sort of. I'd say this album is an attempt to recapture past glories, but the quiet, ominous swells of piano and strings toward the end of this song reach a new level of arrangement I'm yet to hear in the band's music. Hopefully, every song on the forthcoming Paralytic Stalks feels [...]
Come incipit, basterebbe dire che non ho mai ascoltato un disco targato In the Red di cui non mi sia innamorato sin dall'inizio. Lode quindi all'etichetta dal rooster aureo: Black Lips , The Reigning Sound , Dirtbombs e naturalmente, Thee Oh Sees , sono solo alcuni dei nomi "forti" con i quali questa label collabora. I Thee Oh Sees centrifugano il garage, genere dal quale in maniera onorifica assorbono appieno sonorità ed attitudine, alla psichedelia, intesa come mantra prolungato ed agonizzante che corrode ciascun brano fino a renderlo un vortice indistinto di echi [...]
I always feel a little awkward putting an exclamation point in the name of a band. Seems like that kind of punctuation should be saved for song titles, not song writers. But with Jacksonville, Florida duo Sunbears!, it doesn't feel quite as uncomfortable. And that's because their brand of psychadelic, electronic indie rock sorta gives [...]
Now that I've become a dog owner, I know I'd never go back. All due respect to cats, but there's no comparison. Dogs. Are. Awesome. Except for tiny ones. Those are hawk food. But no matter what kind you have, if you have a canine, you know just how much of a family member they [...]
