Today we flash back on another of our favourite labels: SUB POP RECORDS . They're responsible for the careers of a diverse range of bands, from Nirvana to Dum Dum Girls to our very own Husky . And they're celebrating 25 years in the business on July 13. That means that they've been around since 1988. Before that founder Bruce Pavitt started a fanzine called Subterranean Pop about American independent artists and their labels. He started releasing compilations [...]

Con las bandas de determinada trayectoria pueden pasar dos cosas. Que tengan un sonido distintivo pero que no logren reinventarse lo suficiente como para perdurar. O bien, como My Bloody Valentine, que sigan vigentes, pero dejando pasar eternidades entre un disco y otro. Low, una de las bandas más importantes de la música independiente gringa , no entra en ninguna de estas dos categorías. Tienen un sonido intenso, intransigente, hermoso, lento y triste. Y han sacado 16 discos, en 19 años de existencia. The invisible way , su nuevo disco, es el más vibrante en años. [...]

Just how strange and pleasurable is Still Corners new album? Sub Pop, 2013 6.3 / 10 When I think of Strange Pleasures, my mind immediately comes to the infamous viral video, “Two Girls,...
Strange Pleasures is out as of May 7 on Subpop!
Con el último disco de Low me ha pasado algo que hasta ahora consideraba imposible, tratándose de la música de los de Duluth: la sensación de que me estoy aburriendo. Temas como “ Just Make It Stop ” siguen estando muy por encima de la media, pero al acabar de escuchar " The Invisible Way " no logro sacudirme la impresión de que me han interesado más bien poco las cosas que han pasado durante el trayecto. De acuerdo, no se trata de que a estas alturas (ya van por el décimo largo) repitan discos tan increíbles como " Things We [...]

Photo Credit: Brian Tamborello The Postal Service - Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie) and prodcer Jimmy Tamborello (Dntel) - have reunited for a tour and the 10th anniversary release of Give Up , a collection of electro-pop songs that has a lasting influence on indie rock since its release in February, 2003. No one foresaw the influence the record would have. The album's most popular song "Such Great Heights," began to seep into the zietgeist of pop culture over a period of a couple of years. It [...]
Metz playing live for their self-titled album is all-together loud, fast, and in this case, bloody.
Still in the midst of a never-ending victory lap, Beach House leisurely stormed San Francisco last Tuesday night.

Yes, this Saturday is 4/20, but if you can detach yourself from the bucket bong, it's also Record Store Day. The annual celebration of independent record stores has grown into quite an industry, and as ever, there's a heap of awesome-looking releases to trawl through once you've fought your way through the crowds and thrown enough judicious elbows to make your ways to the crates of vinyl — so much so, in fact, that the selection can be somewhat overwhelming. Never fear, though, because we've sifted through the list of this year's RSD exclusives to [...]
Tweet Follow @acidjacknyc [Photos by acidjack] METZ lead singer/guitarist Alex Edkins introduced their new song "Can't Understand" as being about "all the totally messed up people in the world". They left the spoken statement at that and then let the music do the talking. Over and over, the screamed refrain of those two words over the incessant backbeat and howling guitars framed, in simplest terms, the way people may have been feeling about recent events. Sometimes the best [...]
