Listen to the first new song to drop from Twin Shadow 's upcoming sophomore album, "Confess" , out in July 9/10 (in the UK/US) on 4AD . Those signed up to Twin Shadow 's mailing list got a pleasant surprise in their inbox a few minutes ago. George Lewis Jr., the main man behind the project, has just announced that his new album, titled "Confess" , will be released in July. This new album will be his first new material from the project after last year's "Changes" [...]
![[Watch] – Twin Shadow – “Here Comes The Flood” (Peter Gabriel Cover)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4130705_lg.jpg)
Watch Twin Shadow play a cover of Peter Gabriel 's "Here Comes The Flood" . Like Lana Del Rey did a few months ago, it's now time for Twin Shadow to play poolside at the legendary Chateau Marmont for Mulberry . George Lewis Jr. 's song choice was a cover of "Here Comes The Flood" a Peter Gabriel song that sees him stripping down his usual sound to just stand [...]
![[Listen] Neon Indian: "Hex Girlfriend" (Twin Shadow Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4108301_lg.jpg)
La lista de lanzamientos para el Record Store Day cada dia va creciendo aun mas y dentro de todo el extenso material que estara disponible ese dia, se encuentra un sencillo en 10" que estara lanzando Neon Indian y en lo personal debo decir que estoy bien contento de que haya elegido uno de mis tracks favoritos de su mas reciente album " Era Extraña " para ser editado en vinyl con un remix que ademas, suena bastaaante bien. " Hex Girlfriend " es el track que estara apareciendo en una edicion muy limitada durante el Record Store [...]
Tweet January has come and gone. In some parts of the world Lana Del Rey ‘s “Born To Die” has already been released to mixed reviews, nowhere near making as big a splash as was anticipated by some. I’ve given it a listen, it’s fine, but, as I expected, nothing remarkable. In not-LDR-related news, there have been plenty of good releases so far in this past month, with Cloud Nothings , [...]
![[Listen] WIM: "See You Hurry" (Twin Shadow Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3753778_lg.jpg)
Esta semana han aparecido un monton de remixes y bueno, tal vez esto podria decirse si es la primera vez que estas al tanto de lo que ocurre musicalmente ya que la realidad es que todo el tiempo estan apareciendo una enorme cantidad de remixes solo que en esta ocasion, me refiero a que esta semana han salido un monton...pero buenos. Como este que me acabo de encontrar que le acaba de hacer uno de los proyectos casi consentidos de muchas personas por sus composiciones llenas de romanticismo que se esconden detras de todos esos beats retro casi casi entrandole [...]
![[Listen] Twin Shadow: "Changes"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3723728_lg.jpg)
Si les soy sincero el album debut de Twin Shadow no fue de mi agrado de principio a fin, tenia unos bajones increiblemente malos pero sin embargo resulto ser uno de los mas aclamados por la critica 'especializada' pero lo que debo decir que me ha encantado de este proyecto han sido sus remixes y aun mas, los que le han llegado a hacer en especial uno que proximamente (espero) les compartire por aqui que le hizo Modern Witch hace un tiempo, es una cosa verdaderamente brutal. Pero bueno, este no es el punto, el punto [...]
Tweet Today Twin Shadow had a new track of theirs/his called "Changes" played on KCRW and shortly thereafter was released out into the wild wild web. It's his take on a track by 80s band Bagarre called "Circus Is Gone" and is actually one of the best tracks of his that I've heard since his excellent album last year "Forget". You can grab it out below as a free download. Connect with Twin Shadow - Facebook | Twitter | MySpace | Website [...]
Tweet This post is a "QuickPick". QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that's sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it's so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I "star" it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later. If it's still as good as it was a day before [...]
![[Listen] – CANT – “Answer”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3603569_lg.jpg)
Tweet Chris Taylor, best known as producer and vocalist of acclaimed band Grizzly Bear , has brought to light his own solo project under the name CANT. This breathy, multi-instrumental layer cake of a track is a sample of what his upcoming album, "Dreams Come True". Another major point in excitement: Twin Shadow 's George Lewis Jr. , has collaborated with Taylor on this debut album, scheduled to be release on 9/13 through Taylor's own Terrible Records (Outside the [...]
![[Listen/Download] – New Song By Com Truise – “Cathode Girls”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3413920_lg.jpg)
Tweet Remember how last week I'd mentioned that Com Truise was one talented motherfucker when it comes to creating a complete package in 802s throwback tone and style? Well he's followed it up this week with another example "Cathode Girls", the first single from his upcoming debut album on Ghostly "Galactic Melt". Those distinctive-yet-seemingly-maki ng-an-appearance-on-every-othe r-802s-nostalgia-tinged-musica l-wannabe synths are present as they were on "Beta Eyes", but this time they're backed by a bit of an "Escape From New York" bassline. If [...]
Tweet Let's not talk about music for a minute, but instead aesthetics. It's one thing to make music that's appealing and earnestly nostalgic, but when you can accompany that with artwork and an entire design focus around the throwback era you're stylising in your music, that's some impressive shit, especially when it's all be done in-house too. That's how Com Truise rolls, and I know we've spoken about his design and artwork before but not enough people are talking about it. [Begin [...]

![[Introducing] – The Uniques](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3317457_lg.jpg)
When I first started writing for Listen Before You Buy, I had no idea the range of music that would be found in the submissions. For instance, I never for a second thought that I'd be listening to the 2010 Slovakian Album of the Year, which sounds weirdly like Tears for Fears , and...loving it. These three guys claim they come from a generation "whose creative ability would dissolve the uniformed world that their parents called home" and that the themes that occur throughout their music is "hopefully evidence of the shitfree minds of the trio".

![[Listen] – New Album By The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart – “Belong”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3274664_lg.jpg)
Set to be released via Slumberland Records on March 29th, "Belong" is the second album from New York's The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart and you can now hear the entire thing below before it's released in a couple of weeks. Again, this earthquake in Japan is getting me the fuck down so I'm just posting the stuff you want without me talking about it.

Com Truise, aka Seth Haley, first released this EP back in June of 2010, but has recently repackaged and rereleased it with four extra tracks for the princely sum of nothing. You can head over to his (beautifully designed) website and pick it up for absolutely zilch. If you are unfamiliar with Com Truise, we here at LBYB have featured him before, for a remix he did of a Twin Shadow song, but he has also dropped a couple of remixes for Neon Indian, including one epic remix of Sleep Paralysist that [...]
![[Listen] – New Song By The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart – “Belong”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3172017_lg.jpg)
Photo: Pavla Kopecna The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart flew onto everyone's radar back in 2009 when they released their self-titled debut album, an album that made it onto many best of the year lists (including my own). With that first album, the band made it clear where their influences came from. They seemed to take cue from bands like The Pastels, Velocity Girl and Black Tambourine to create a fun Indie-Pop and Twee sound that was entirely unique. The band is set to release their second album, "Belong", March 29th on Slumberland and the [...]
![[Listen] – New Song By Cass McCombs – “County Line”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3152492_lg.jpg)
I'm not the biggest Cass McCombs fan....I have his first album and enjoyed it for the most part but have only revisited it maybe a couple of times since I got it, so when I saw this new song of his doing the rounds I wasn't holding out a whole lotta hope for it. About a minute in I still felt the same way but as it progresses it takes on this Twin Shadow /Neil Young/ GAYNGS vibe and starts getting its groove on. It's most definitely a slow burner so give it a couple of [...]
