Mark Lanegan Band Blues Funeral 4AD/Beggars Group US Recently, I marveled at Mark Lanegan's voice, that deep and leathery, wavering and seductive voice, and noted how I would not only listen to Lanegan reinterpreting the catalog of pop songstress, Katy Perry, but I would buy that collection, too . That's the power of having the voice of Rock 'N' Roll. Blues Funeral, Lanegan's first solo collection since 20042s Bubblegum, presents the listener with a scenario tantalizingly close to my own dream/nightmare. Squeezed in the middle of [...]
It's not that there's anything inherently wrong with soft rock indie rock. It's just that there's so much of it and so much of it gets such grand praise when it's all really, kinda boring. That's all. That's why soft rock has been my mortal enemy for my listening lifetime. Consequently, one may expect me to pan the new solo music from Fleet Foxes' one time drummer, J Tillman, and his new outfit Father John Misty. And as much as I'd love to slag a Fleet Fox, I can't do it as his first [...]

I'm not going to lie. Mark Lanegan could release an album of Katy Perry covers and I'd not only listen to it, but I'd probably put down cash money for it, too. Now, that's not to say quality doesn't matter when it comes to the output of the one time Screaming Trees frontman. Rather, his voice is so captivating - Deep, smoky, lonesome, and in the case of "Gravedigger's Song," from his soon to be released album, Blues Funeral, down right scary - He can be paired with the twee voice of Isobel Campbell, the boozy and [...]
Cloud Nothings Attack on Memory Carpark To hear Cloud Nothings' Dylan Baldi tell it, the title of the band's third album, Attack on Memory, is meant to be an attack on the memory of what people thought his band was." Of course, with a title that vague, this attack on memory could be attached to any manner of things we'd rather forget. For example, it could be an attack on your memory of all those shitty emo bands that claimed to be influenced by Fugazi, Sunny Day Real [...]

Let's say I didn't spend the past year collecting all of the 123 singles released following Grinderman's 2010 album, Grinderman 2, I'd be all over this upcoming remix collection on Anti- Records featuring collaborations and reinterpretations featuring Robert Fripp, Josh Homme, A Place to Bury Strangers, Cat's Eyes and Factory Floor. Hell, I'll still be all over Grinderman 2 RMX on the strength of the previously unreleased version of "Bellringer Blues," featured above, and wonderfully twisted, tortured, and hacked to shit by Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Yeah, it's that good. [...]

In case you have not heard, Brooklyn's own Pterodactyl have released their third long player, Spills Out via Jagjaguwar . On this record, the band continues to hone their craft. The Pterodactyl sound started out as abrasive noisepunk (check out a couple early tracks in the bonus section below). Their sound has since evolved into something more psychedelic, something a bit more pop. They have toned down the feedback, focused more on harmony and three-part croon, and added Wurlitzers , ukeleles, and Kawasaki Dual Cool Keys (a discontinued toy keyboard) [...]

Darren Aronofsky Creates Stunning Anti-meth PSAs The 30-second shorts, which will eventually be shown on networks across the nation, depict the lives of teens before and after meth use. It's really graphic stuff — but gets the point across.
Are Factory Floor a rock band with the groove of a dance act or an electronic act with a nose for noise? Are they goth or post-punk or trance? Should we wait for NME or Pitchfork to chime in with a new sub-genre, or should we dig in? During the Londoner's late night, attention-grabbing set at ATP NJ they deftly worked elements of both rock and electronics, playing with the type of ferocity that most indie bands can only dream of while having the audacity to beat mix their songs like a DJ, but with live instrumentation. [...]
