Ezra Furman & The Harpoons - We Should Fight Hey, I could totally take Ezra Furman . We Should Fight ? Hell yeah, string bean, bring everything you got, you pasty-armed, scrawny little twerp. Honestly, have you seen this guy? I could totally take him. There is no guy named "Ezra" I couldn't tussle with. Although he does have his Harpoons to back him up, which is a pretty piercing name for a posse. Intimidating, really. Especially when they can also pump out some blustery, hurtling alt-country [...]

Novillero - A Little Tradition Hey, guess what? I'm going to get my haircut tonight! And while this is the kind of drastically relevant information one should display more on Twitter than on a band's write-up, I mention this because my haircut is going to be quite similar to the mod-tops of Novillero . They themselves will probably be hitting the barber's shop soon enough with the impending release of their third LP, A Little Tradition , of which the title track is a soulful, bouncy affair of pure pop [...]

Hey Marseilles - From A Terrace Despite all the "boycott French wine" and "Freedom Fries" crap which obnoxiously plagued the US landscape over the past few years, francophilia in America is alive and well. But despite their name, Seattle's Hey Marseilles perform in la langue de Shakespeare , preferring instead invoke the spirit of old-world Marseilles as an influence to their poetic, folkish, and stunningly orchestral music. The collection of pianos, cello, violins, and accordion might force some people to label it as "eclectic." I call it "magnifique." [...]

The Stills - Being Here If I were Polish politician Joanna Senyszyn I don't know if I would be all that happy to be mostly known for my high-pitched voice rather than for my political career. Must be kind of a bummer. Like if I were were The Stills and were known for anything else than my guitar-heavy, perfectly placed synths, super melodious pop-rock, I would be anything but pleased. I'd be all like "Go to hell while listening to our larger-than-life arrangements and crashing drum sequences, you bastards!" Yup. [...]
Plushgun - Just Impolite You know, I bet Judith Martin would have some fine advice to give Plushgun , who apparently needs to know how often you can call a girl before you break all social conventions and come across as Just Impolite . But we will forgive him for any etiquette breaches he may have done, considering this wonderful, fuzzy, and humble little song he let adrift into the world. Full of soul and meek charm, you won't regret letting this one eek its way through your soundsystem. [...]
On today's special edition of This Hand Has Three Fingers, we examine how technology influences music! INNOVATIVE Chandeliers - Mr. Electric Obviously, a band like Chandeliers not only has technology to inspire it into developing new sounds, but it downright needs technology to get about its business. The quartet would be pretty hard pressed to punch out their snareful melodies in such full-frontal funkyness if they couldn't plug in their synths to bubble out their slippy bleeping textures and smooth out their endearing, humming pads, like they do [...]
On today's Three Fingers, we celebrate pop. We like pop music. We like it when good pop music is made. So here, today, pop. POP, I TELL YOU. The Silent Years - Black Hole Let's begin with some charming pop, delivered unto us by The Silent Years with their song Black Hole , an absolutely warm piece which plays off the better part of simplicity to create a convivial, intimate rapport between listener and singer Josh Epstein. Delicate acoustic guitars, jovial handclaps, and [...]
The Dark Romantics - Let's Ride Infused with the best that Britpop can evoke in us, The Dark Romantics unload a swaggering jab of a song entitled Let's Ride already beading of sweat from the demands a rock and roll puts on those who wish to call their songs as such. Starting off essentially as drum-and-vocals affair, the tune mutates into a full-blown pop beastie, guitars revving like a screaming hot engine under the pressing piano hits. "Let's ride into the night" exclaims singer Eric Collins in his powerful and remarkable [...]
Bat For Lashes - A Forest I got to know The Cure back when I started dating my girlfriend. She had always been a big fan of the band. I mean a big fan; during the earliest stages of our courtship, I'd sometimes put on some black lipstick to, you know, impress her. Guess it worked. Anyhow, she got me all learned up about Robert Smith and his crew, schooling me on all I need to know about one of rock's most influential bands. And as we inch ever so closer to the [...]
Hey! It's a special "Let's Catch Up!" edition of This Hand Has Three Fingers! Let's go listen to some new stuff from some folks whom I've previously written about... Sinkane - Color Voice When I last wrote about Sinkane , he was about to join Caribou on tour as his drummer. Now, he's got a full-time part percussin' it up in of Montreal's live acts. All great stuff for the Sudan native, but it kind of distracts from the fact that he has his [...]
Max Justus - Seven If you're in a hankering for some lugubrious, instrumental, old-school blooping electronic grooves, Max Justus 's Seven might be the man to get it done. With backbeats steadier than the Rock of Gibraltar, synth pads glowing like sharp, glittering neon, and keystrikes coming at you like laser beams, it's your smooth, sunglasses-at-night theme for whenever it's just you against the naked city. TK Webb & The Visions - Teen Is Still Shaking Okay, so maybe you're more in he mood [...]
