MP3: Charli XCX – “Valentine”
On this day, which most couples seem to acknowledge as “Valentine’s Day”, (it’s also Statehood Day in Oregan and Arizona!), curious, fresh, and hard-to-pin-down-genre-wise British artist Charli XCX has offered up a new track, appropriately titled “Valentine.” Cynicism about the day aside, it’s a notably promising cut, that’ll surely help Charlie XCX continue her steady [...]

Well that’s it really; what is arguably the largest festival in North America has pulled in all the biggest names in “indie” rock, dance and hip hop to play this year’s festival.

-
Artist:
San Diego lo-fi psych-pop group Heavy Hawaii has a new 7″ out now on Art Fag Recordings, containing three tracks. The title track for the release is called "Super Bowl XXIX" and manages to shift seamlessly from sun-drenched flower-power psych to a particularly sophisticated hook reminiscent of Woods, creating a multi-faceted tune that proves more [...]

Listen: Quakers (Geoff Barrow of Portishead) – “Fitta Happier” (ft. Guilty Simpson and M.E.D.)
-
Artist:
Last week we told you that rather than working on new Portishead material, Geoff Barrow has been hard at work on a hip-hop album which he will released under the moniker Quakers. The album is set to feature 41 tracks, so even though it's not out until March 27th, they might as well start rolling [...]

Watch: Girls – “I Will Always Love You” (Whitney Houston cover)
-
Artist:
Photo by Philip Cosores Sure the song was originally a Dolly Parton song, but Whitney Houston’s version of “I Will Always Love You” from The Bodyguard reclaimed it through her powerful, nearly super-human vocals. Girls’ Christopher Owens doesn’t even try to approach Houston’s heights, but, rather, just offers a sincere singalong for fans in Singapore [...]

Watch: Trailer for Dave Grohl’s Sound City documentary (feat. Josh Homme, Trent Reznor & Tom Petty)

Artist:
Dave Grohl has many talents. Looking convincing while dancing to Deadmau5 is certainly not one of them. Whether or not film making is one of them remains to be seen, but we might get a good idea today since his documentary about Sound City has released its first trailer. Sound City pays tribute to the [...]

Album Review: The Asteroids Galaxy Tour – Out of Frequency

Artist:
For what seems like the longest time now, I had always seen the name The Asteroids Galaxy Tour floating around the web. One of those instances where I knew they were a “thing,” knew people enjoyed them enough, but had never really taken the time to listen to them myself. Not a bias thing by [...]

Album Review: Rodrigo y Gabriela and C.U.B.A. – Area 52
-
Artist:
You’ll all have to bear with me on this one; I don’t think I’ve ever had to write a review as challenging as this. When a band doesn’t have lyrics, and no vocals, a significant portion is gone at least to those of us who’ve grown accustomed to the traits of popular music. At first [...]

Album Review: Conforce – Escapism
-
Artist:
What is it about Conforce’s Escapism that reminds me of recent offerings from British ambient techno label Modern Love? More specifically artists like Andy Stott and Demdike Stare. It’s the distance that dub techno has traveled from Echospace’s expansive airiness still representing strong on albums like Deadbeat’s 2011 LP, Drawn & Quartered, where dub rears [...]
