Some of this smells like "guess I need to find better mushrooms" and some of it is so good; I'm about to move into the mind-bending/expanding-hole-in -a-redwood (on another planet) in which Weird Owl strives to dwell. The band has all sorts of things to say about what it's doing, many of which are ambitious and lofty. Since reading that last sentence is already putting you to sleep, I won't trot out any quoted particulars. Justin Pizzoferrato (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur J.) and Justin Rice helped the band achieve guitar tones sweet and roomy as hobbit hovels. There are crisp [...]
Nope, you're reading that title correctly. San Francisco shoegaze champions Whirl have changed their name to Whirr , and have also signed with Tee Pee Records . Their first new offering is "Junebouvier", taken from the group's forthcoming limited edition June EP, which will be released as a 7" vinyl single on September 27th.

Burgeoning Brooklyn buzz band ELKS will release its debut album Destined for the Sun on September 13th via Tee Pee Records. Featuring an abstract conceptual theme chronicling "the history of a tribe of nomadic Space Vikings," ELKS' Destined for the Sun tells the tale of "peaceful inhabitants of a planet colonized by an expanding ...

Download: True Widow "Skull Eyes" True Widow tumbled out from the heart of Texas with a knack for the reverberatory arts. Their 'stonegaze' sound, as some call it, sounds a bit like a cool soothing rockslide. Their newest album—the improbably titled As High As the Highest Heavens and from the Center to the Circumference of the Earth —was released on Kemado and they will play the New Weird America Fest this Saturday at Nomad . Win tickets here ! They speak to us from deep [...]

It's still Ancestors , but it's something new for us and it's something we had wanted to [...]

Jason Simon's softly-spoken, ethereal vocal has been captivating fans of Dead Meadow for over a decade, so it only seems fair that their lead singer should step up with his own debut album. Similarly, it only seems fair that we treat it with the reverence it deserves. Accompanied by Dead Meadow bassist Steve Kille, Simon proceeds to thread psychedelic drone-tinged folk onto warm, heartfelt americana rhythms and houses it all within craftily simplistic structures. Cyclical acoustic guitar and see-sawing bass notes root the whole thing to the ground whilst distortion, sustain, whammy bar and wah-wah effects build up an [...]

Toronto psych rockers Quest For Fire will release their new LP, Lights From Paradise , through Tee Pee Records on August 31st. It's the band's follow-up to their self-titled debut. The album is said to consist of "beautiful, dreamy hard rock, Spaceman 3 drone and psychedelic swirl." Has me sold. I did a write up on their song "Bison Eyes" some time ago, but the post mysteriously disappeared from this site. It was featured, so it goes without saying that I dug it. The band most recently released a split 7" with Nebula . [...]

L.A.'s full blown rock 'n' roll outfit Night Horse is set to release its sophomore album Perdition Hymns August 3rd through Tee Pee Records. The album was produced by Matt Bayles (Pearl Jam, Mastodon, The Sword). If the stuff on their MySpace is any indication, Perdition Hymns is going to slay. The quintet has some killer guitar work, a great set of pipes in singer Sam James Velde, and definitely knows what rock 'n' roll is. And although they might be a straight shooting rock band, they know how to jam (e.g. the last [...]

Track of the Week : RAAAAAAAANDY - "AAAAAAAANGRY" ; In the lead up to the movie Funny People we were treated to a new character named RAAAAAAAANDY (with 8 A's) played by Aziz Ansari. By most accounts this character and his 10-total minutes of screen time was the best thing about the whole movie (I disagree) and anyone that's seen the end of Aziz' new comedy special knows how funny this shit can be. Well Aziz is making a mixtape for RAAAAAAAANDY with Dave Sitek producing and the first tune [...]
