Last year Earbuddy celebrated one year of existence with the best 50 albums of 2011 . However, we've grown since [...]
![[Reviews Roundup] September 2012](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4535020_lg.jpg)
With all the craziness of music blogging, from concerts to press releases to interviews to festivals, it can be hard to find time to sit down, listen to an album and give it an honest, thorough review. With that in mind, we came up with the Reviews Roundup , a way for us to look back at all of the major releases in the past month and give them an on-the-spot review. Whether we like them or not, we'll spout out a quick blurb about the album to give an overall impression of what makes it good or bad [...]
It's a blockbuster week for new albums and the singles from those albums. Anticipated record releases from The Raveonettes, The xx, St. Vincent & David Byrne are some of the highlights of this week's new releases. There are also new albums by Thee Oh Sees, Turbo Fruits, Seapony, Calexico, Amanda Palmer and The Grand Theft [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
As we mentioned , September 11th drops us right in the thick of some great music this week. Look at these two guys above. They're just making my year with their new album Negotiations , which you can stream in its entirety below. We've given you the whole spiel on these guys here and here . You get it. We're excited. We've already listened to the album about 5 times. So if you're a Helio Sequence fan, you won't be disappointed with Negotiations . The variation with this album is that there [...]
You guys, there are just...a million awesome releases today. Seriously, there are a million - so many that we really had to edit this baby down to just our favorites.

A few of my favorite new releases this week, including new stuff from The Raveonettes , Seapony , The Vaccines , David Byrne and St. Vincent , and the highly anticipated sophomore effort from The xx . As always, be sure to visit Largehearted Boy [...]
It's a mind-blowing list of new releases on perhaps the biggest release date of the year, so let's get started. You're going to need all the time you can get to pick these up. First up, the long-awaited second album by The xx is potentially KEXP listeners' album of the year. While it's but one of a number of hotly anticipated this year - others come from Dirty Projectors, Animal Collective, and Grizzly Bear - The xx strip down their sound to a sultry murmur, like a whisper in your ear. Oliver Sims and Romy Madley-Croft never sounded [...]
You know summer is well and truly over when the humidity recedes, the days start getting shorter and the big album releases start coming thick and fast. Yep, it's almost time for the September rush, and this year the crop is particularly good — so much so, in fact, that we've expanded our usual round-up of 10 albums you need to hear in the month to come to a bumper list of 15. As ever, we've also rounded up the rest of the month's notable releases: the good, the bad, and the ugly. So tell us: what are you looking [...]

We finally launched a redesign! And today's music is in celebration of it. Hope you guys dig the new SOTO. Enjoy. : Thee Oh Sees - Flood's New Light : The heat in Texas has finally reached that point (as it does every year) where I'm just done with it. So, when I say that this track makes we want to get out and have some fun in the summer blaze, then you know it's a good one. Putrifiers II will be released on September 11 via In The Red Records , and then four [...]
Here is this week's music singles chart for the week ending August 12 - 18. It is still a few weeks left before summer is going to end. This week's #1 single goes to UK's The xx. Looks like there is high anticipation when Coexist drops on September 11, 2012. I prefer Chained more than Angels. There are four new debuts from Jens Lekman and Wild Nothing. Check it out! This Week Last Week [...]
"You are the music while the music lasts." -T.S. Eliot Cat Power - "Cherokee" (Nicolas Jaar Remix) “Cherokee”, the second single from Cat Power’ s upcoming LP Sun (September 4th, via Matador) gets a spooky reworking courtesy of producer Nicolas Jaar . By replacing the piano and drums with organs and strings, Jaar shifts the mood entirely, creating spacious ambience. Chan Marshall’s pleas of, “Marry me, marry me to the sky,” are now drenched in reverb. Instead of addressing the listener directly, it [...]
photo by Dave Lichterman Songs from Coexist , the xx 's forthcoming sophomore album, are continuing to trickle out onto the internet, but instead of being unveiled by fan footage, the newest song to be revealed was released by the band themselves. "Chained," the second track on Coexist has yet to be played live, but you can hear it now in a visually enhanced video released by the band this morning. [...]

When The Line Of Best Fit asked me to write a blog from ATP I agreed instantly. All Tomorrow’s Parties is one of the highlights of my year. It’s basically just a chance to get really drunk, go on some waterslides and watch loads of amazing bands with your friends, maybe not in that order. So when my editor told me this blog didn’t need to be done until after the festival I was even happier. Who wants to be running around looking for wifi when bands like Boredoms, Iggy, and Ponytail are playing? Exactly. The only problem [...]
