photo by Olivia Jaffe L.A. people love Graveyard. Even though I got to the Bootleg Theater before 9 p.m., I had to wait forever to get in. It was only by the skin of my teeth that I got through the ginormous line backed for blocks up Beverly Boulevard and got a classy microbrew in my hand in time to see the Shrine . Actually, you don't "see" the Shrine so much as you feel them. Their first song, "Zipper Tripper," was so loud that it bypassed my ears entirely, plowing [...]

As the super-duo Mitch and Kenzie from Gainesville, FL stated in the e-mail: "we created the album art ourselves with crystals, moss fallen from trees, soil and pebbles". So, if the delicious album cover isn't enough to catch your interest, then Hear Hums ' newest track and music video "Shrines" almost certainely will. The duo is just about to release their third album entitled Opens, which will be out on bandcamp in "late 20113. If you haven't already, don't forget to check out their 2010 record Psyche Cycles, which you can download for free [...]

The organically ambient and lovely "Shrines" is a new one from their upcoming third album Opens . Their last album, Psyche Cycles came out on our friend Jheri's cassette label Crash Symbols . Check out the video after the jump, and head over to Bandcamp to spelunk their back catalogue.

Beautiful, lulling new song by Hear Hums, a band I previously profiled after hearing their "what the hell" song "Woo" back in December of '10. "Shrines" is the first single (and second track) off Hear Hums' forthcoming third album, Opens , which should be out by the end of the calendar year. Let's cross our fingers for hearing more tribal weirdness (in a good way) as soon as possible. Oh, and you can download their second album, Psyche Cycles , for free at their Bandcamp . [...]

As we jump into MusicNOW 2011, I thought it would be fun to not only preview the festival this week, but also look back at some of the festivals from years past. Today, I wanted to dig up something from last year's festival which is very relevant to a new release this month. Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes opened for Joanna Newsom, and played a great set, which included new material from the forthcoming Fleet Foxes album. We shot some video of the performance and put it up as a part of our festival coverage. [...]
(Right Link + "Save Link As" = Download) Fleet Foxes - "Helplessness Blues" Fleet Foxes - "The Shrine / An Argument" Fleet Foxes - "Blue Spotted Tail" Helplessness Blues is not the kind of album that can be taken lightly, for the weight of this type of work simply demands repetition in an attempt to get to the bottom of such beauty. Completely devoid of the verse-chorus-verse structure that modern music clings onto like a crutch, every track is comprised of such [...]

A ma droite, King Khan , Indien libineux ami des Black Lips, qui sera accompagné de ses psychédéliques Shrines. A ma gauche les Dum Dum Girls , charmantes représentantes d'une noise pop sombre et court vêtue. Au centre, Yussuf Jerusalem , notre fierté [...]
