I had to post this out of pure jealousy. You're a lucky bunch, all of you who live in the North East and Midwest United States. Trails and Ways , one of my favorite bands of the past year or so, is hitting the road for a two month, jam packed schedule of live shows. That means they'll be performing some of the singles that have become so popular, like "Border Crosser" and "Nunca". I'm also willing to bet that their set-list will also contain a few selections from their upcoming debut album, Trilingual , due out later [...]

Currently Trails and Ways are working on some tunes, so essentially this is sort of a fluffer post. The Band is getting ready to start their first tour, leaving their day jobs behind, and from what I saw in SWSW a few of them might have just graduated high school. In the mean while if you are in the northern part of the country and want to check out a great show, I can attest that this band puts on a great one. [...]

Download : Moon Duo - Trails (White Rainbow Remix) Remix of "Trails" by Portland, Orgeon's White Rainbow. When Moon Duo’s last full length, Mazes, was released in 2011 there was a limited edition bonus cd that came with it for retail featuring remixes of the album tracks by the likes of Gary War, Sonic Boom, Psychic Ills and others. The bonus disc was so well received that the band have done it again with their new album Circles. This time the remixes are from Portland/ Kranky [...]

The scene at Rickshaw Stop on Wednesday night was much different than on September 14, 2012, the first time Mac DeMarco headlined the venue. Last year's Friday night gathering attracted less than fifty people, half of which were there to see Stockton's Surf Club . Last night was a whole different story. The crowd steadily filled into the sold out venue starting when Calvin Love took the stage at 8:20, until 11:30 when DeMarco exited. Local bands Cocktails and [...]

Time for a little bit of aural time travel. Let's look back, reflect, and contemplate... what were we listening to one year ago ? Listen to the March 2012 One Year Ago Mix and find out. You can stream (and scrobble ) all the songs in this mix using the ex.fm player at the bottom of the page OR you can just download any or all of the tracks at your leisure and play them using a digital media player of your choice.

The Recommender has a contributing writer, called Olivia, who is based in Austin Texas. Naturally she becomes our covering insider for the giant, annual music festival, SXSW, each year. Unfortunately a turn of fate has found Olivia currently living in London whilst the March festival is in full swing. This leaves our blog without a roaming reporter. Until now that is. We are finalising negotiations - we promise to buy their first ten beers - with the editor of another UK music blog and underground record label, Killing Moon . Achal Dhillon is a friend of ours and confirmed [...]
One Note (mp3) TRAILS AND WAYS http://www.facebook.com/TRAILS ANDWAYS 米カリフォルニア州、 オークランドのフォー クバンドが、 ワンノートサンバをカ バーしてた。ドリーミ ーに聞こえました。 #One Note Samba music composed by antonio carlos jobim for "samba de uma nota só". I am a broken record. I play one note alone: a samba of devotion to the facts I know. I know how to travel, but my paths don't coincide I know how to play with words, but not what they [...]

Oakland's Trails and Ways started 2013 with a bang: they sold out Cafe Du Nord and released Detornar-Se , a remix album that features reworks from Wallpaper and Yalls , among others. The band gained notoriety early in their existence with some outstanding covers of popular songs, most notably M83 's "Midnight City". However, I think their dreamy, gloabally influenced pop originals (such as "Nunca" ) are where their true strength lies. I caught up with Trails and Ways vocalist and multi-instrumentalist [...]

The hype surrounding Oakland's exciting bossa nova pop outfit, Trail and Ways is strangely underwhelming. It's sizeable in that their HypeM following is massive -- at times seeing them eek out The Shins and Grizzly Bears -- yet they're still very much a local Bay Area band you can see live for $10. The mixture of considerable digital yet untapped physical notoriety has us at the edge of our seats in fiendish anticipation as to when exactly they'll "break" the scene. Considering they're playing this year's SXSW , it's only time before the quartet is the next [...]

Trails and Ways' original version of "Mtn Tune" was pretty darn good but Wallpaper's remix is banging! Thew remix is taken from Trails and Ways' new remixes EP Detornar-Se which is out now on iTunes UK / iTunes US . Previously: Trails and Ways - Mtn Tune
SBTRKT is the only one who can get away with releasing a music video for a track nearly two years after releasing the project, specifically because he's released only one full [...]

Bay Area natives Trails and Ways are back once again, this time with a remix EP. Detonar-se is an 8-track affair, composed of reimagined works of their singles, with sounds ranging from lush and atmospheric, to glitchy and staccato-like. It's an interesting enough prospect, and based on the group's past efforts, one worth listening to. Oh, and did I mention the whole set is free? Check out the stream below, and grab the download at the band's official site .

Trails and Ways have been prepping the release of their upcoming debut album, Trilingual , due out sometime this year. To make the wait a little bit more bearable, the band put together this remix EP titled, Detornar-se . In case you were wondering, Detornar-se is Portuguese reflexive verb that double translates to "un make" as well as détournement, which is a variation of a previous work of media. I think it's safe to say that this EP has been properly titled. Compiled of remixes from producers ranging from Oakland to Mexico to London, Detornar-se [...]

Trails and Ways was one of mt favorite great indie surprises of 2012. After finding out about them from Ghost Beach through the remixes they had done together , I went in to discover I really loved their genre of dream pop, especially their song "Border Crosser." Today they released a remix album. What's cool about this though is that the band describes how instead of setting out to create a remix album, these are all remixes that came to them froms self-inspired producers including The Seshen, Celestial [...]

Today TRAILS AND WAYS released a remix EP featuring eight of their singles at the hands of four producers from the Oakland electronic scene (Bunnynoser, The Seshen, Yalls, Wallpaper), and some from as far off as London (Celestial Trax) and Mexico (Highweights). The title of the EP is "Detornar-se", a Portuguese reflexive verb, with a double meaning: it literally means "to unmake" + it's also the Portuguese verb for detournement. The tracks came together organically; some even from producers who approached TRAILS AND WAYS out of the blue with a track done. [...]

Trails And Ways are kicking off the new year with Detornar-se , an unsolicited crowd-sourced remix EP that is sure to ignite the fire in your MP3 player. Detornar-se , which is a gender neutral form of a Portuguese reflexive verb, roughly translating to "to unmake" , was described by Trails And Ways as having come about organically by inspired producers from as far away as England and Mexico over the past few months. There are not many forms of flattery greater than unsolicited remixes of your tracks...particularly when said remixes are so well done, yet that's precisely [...]

In 2012, I was introduced to California band Trails and Ways and enjoyed much of their singles they released, which are all leading up to their debut LP Trilingual , due out sometime in 2013. Yet, along the way, beside their originals doing very well on Hypem, they had released a few remixes of their tunes that also ended up at the top of Hypem charts, helping catapult them into some serious buzz. Now before we get their debut record, they let out a remix EP called Detornar-se , featuring 8 tracks of [...]
