On their upcoming 7" EP KILL KILL KILL , Vacant Fever offer up electro-psych tunes with as much thrust and raw energy as any dance floor- or house party-tested albums out there. Due for release on March 6, its throbbing bass and gritty, fuzz-heavy guitarplay offer the ideal backdrop for a symphony of breathy vocals and Bolan-esque sighs. Striking somewhere between Silversun Pickups and the Rapture's dance punk, the duo of Daniel Michael Miller and Leon Spinx deal in simple but infectious melodies that sound at once firmly grounded in a postmodern reality, and like a transmission [...]

Amid shaky reverberations, melancholy crooning and eerie whistles, Bill Campbell, or Thee Midnight Creep , delivers his signature gothically-inflected gospel on his latest release. I Lie Like a Dog at Your Feet is an album that can stand up to the works of the great shiver-inducing wordsmiths; Campbell's brand of woozy folk is as macabre as any Edgar Allan Poe creation. Minimalist auto-harp accompaniment allows his stirring vocals, suggestive of a soul tormented, take listeners hostage in a world of brocade, gnarled trees and perpetual dusk. The aptly named opener "Codeine" pairs heady instrumentation with woebegone lyrics [...]

Dross Glop 1 (con remixes de The Field y Gui Boratto) fue el primero de varios 123 que Battles lanzará con remixes de las canciones incluidas en su disco Gloss Drop, que vio la luz el año pasado. En Dross Glop 2 , The Alchemist, Shabazz Palaces y Kode9 tomarán la estafeta para seguramente introducir líneas de bajo profundas a" Futura ", "White Electric" y " Africastle ". Ahora Battles nos presenta el remix de los reyes del rap en Seattle a "White Electric". Dross Glop 2 estará disponible el 21 de febrero.

I saw Wimps back in November open for Wax Idols and the Terry Malts . They rocked like they already knew what the hell they were doing even though I think that it was only their first or second show. Wimps are a trio. Rachel Ratner plays guitar, sings and makes cool maps . Matt Nyce plays bass and draws . Dave Ramm plays drums and makes pizzas. Wimps are raw power with nothing in the way. It's punk rock the way it use to be; short, [...]

Tweet vaso link The powers that be at Sub Pop are apparently ready to branch out from their traditional indie rock wares. After putting out the fantastic Shabazz Palaces album last year, the Seattle stalwart is venturing into the realm of female-fronted funk with the new album from THEESatistfaction titled awE naturalE . The first track from the capitalization challenged duo is the burning groove of "QueenS." It's funk, but it's stripped down to it's naked core, and then rocketed [...]

Début 2010, Grave Babies , muni de sa Death Cassette - en écoute intégrale par ici - nous contait l'indie-goth lo-fi. Death Face , LP enregistré en 2009 mais édité en 2011, enfonçait ce clou déjà bien tordu. Les incantations morbides seyant si bien au quatuor de Seattle, Skrot Up publie ces jours-ci Pro-Death , soit la VHS vendue par le groupe lors de sa tournée 2011. Dix-sept minutes d'effroi. Vidéo

I'm no stranger to discovering new music already in my collection. One such band is The Horde And The Harem , who's song "Gold Rush" has been an obsession of mine since I unearthed it a few weeks ago. "Gold Rush" was released on their Harvest EP way back in 2010. So after a quick Google of the band yesterday evening, I discovered they have a brand new LP out (day of, nonetheless!) called A Long Midwinter ... out February 2! From the [...]

Today marks the first day of Dilla month. Facebook, twitter, and any popular blog that you may be venturing out to check are also trying to put up their sickest tribute post ever. Even last year, Stones Throw had a video contest, and some of the participants made their own 'Dilla Tribute' to his songs . At this point in time, EVERYONE has either heard about him, or finally know who this famous producer is. Unfortunately, because of his untimely demise is the part of the reason why many (like myself, admittedly) knows of the [...]

They say a great cover is one that does something new with a song, without destroying its essence. Otherworldly shoegazers Golden Gardens did just that on their six-song EP, The Covers , released in December, despite a selection of songs that isn't exactly intuitive. Golden Gardens' greatest talent lies in their ability to create dreamscapes out of soundscapes, something that serves them well as they take on other artists' works – after the first track, it's easy to forget that these are songs you've heard before. The band interprets the songs of Creepshow, Morrissey, Red House Painters, [...]

Thanks!

At once progressive and rustic, Sandy Dickerson 's solo forays with the ukulele are far from what you would expect from such an apparently simple instrument. From the opening chords on his fifth solo recording, Songs from the Cold Coast , Dickerson shows that the perceived limitations of the instrument won't prevent him from creating complexly layered folk tunes. He explores its possibilities, making each of its four strings work. Dickerson may be known around town as the bassist for a handful of other bands – the Panda Conspiracy , Big High , Missing Players [...]
