Jamie Stewart and friends will be releasing Dear God, I Hate Myself, February 23rd on Kill Rock Stars. Stewart is joined by Angela Seo on piano, synth, and drum programming; with production handled by himself and Deerhoof’s Greg Saunier. A couple of the tracks were recorded primarily on a Nintendo DS, which will either sound [...]
Logos is easily one of my favorites of the year, so it’s really nice to see a video for one of my favorite tracks. Once again, download “Walkabout” below.Atlas Sound- Walkabout (W/ Noah Lennox)
Beach House’s Teen Dream will be hitting stores January 26th courtesy of Sub Pop, who have also just released the first single as a free MP3. “Norway” is a charming track, one that is so obviously Beach House. It’s nice to see that the duo have grown as musicians, but still have the same wonderful [...]
It’s been a while, and it’s time. The first track this week comes straight out of 2004. We can definitely file Chrisitina Milian in the “what ever happened to…” cabinet. “Dip it Low” was her one big hit, and maybe it was just before its time. It sounds like something on the radio today more [...]
Tape Deck Mountain’s debut record, Ghost is a self-proclaimed “mid-fi” record, with influences ranging from Phil Elverum to The Beach Boys. The record was written by lead singer Travis Trevisan, during all the free time he had after being laid off from his job. The record is really good, continuing the trend of great releases [...]
Our good friend and fellow promoter Spencer Ludwig is back at it with a new installment in his revered Two Dollar show series. Two Dollar Shows aim to unite the artistic community, and to utilize these artists as a means of supporting some incredible charities/foundations. The next show will take place on November 27 and [...]
As if the Knowles family could get any more perfect. Beyonce’s little sister, Solange has covered Dirty Projectors’ “Stillness Is The Move”, and she does a wonderful job. Using the Dr. Dre/Erykah Badu/Isaac Hayes sample, she doesn’t have to stray too far from the original vocal melody to achieve a sound similar to Amber Coffman’s. [...]
D/A/D is wünderkin Zach Robinson. Splitting his time between L.A. and Northwestern University, Zach unveiled his debut EP, Super Motives, this past week. Clocking in at 6 songs and 28 minutes, there’s quite a bit of fun to be had here. Imagine a crossroads between Miami Horror a porn soundtrack from 2050. In the best [...]
The incredibly rad dudes at Underwater Peoples are bringing us another great record, this time a split between two of their best artists. The split is between Andrew Cedmark, who I know little about, and Family Portrait who I’ve listened to on occasion. I first became familiar with Family Portrait on the Underwater Peoples compilation, [...]
Denver, Colorado… The new hotbed for indie music? Not quite, but we’re getting there. Woodsman are from Denver and they make some really cool music. They’ve been circulating around the blogs a bit, but the recognition they deserve will arrive more in the upcoming months. They’re putting out a full length with the always fantastic [...]
Caveat: No Set List or Photo’s (sorry, lazieness)Mum playing the in US? A rare occurrence indeed. Not often does this eclectic Icelandic collective grace our humble shores. Thus, after a brief west coast stint, the group will retire to more familiar terrain, namely Malmo, Arhus, (insert unusual Scandinavian city) etc. Prior to the show, I [...]
Brian Lightbody and Tom Asselin make up the duo Dragon Turtle, a group that I know far too little about. The boys from Brooklyn make a kind of music not easily describable, but floating somewhere within the realms of folk and psychedelia. Their debut record, Almanac, hits stores today, which you can pick up here. [...]
A bit weak on the band name side of things, but what they lack in a creative name they make up for with killer songs. Christy & Emily are a female Brooklyn duo, who are making some rad psychedelic/chilled out folk/pop music. It’s hard to generalize the duo, but that’s what I came up with, [...]
Awwwww shit, this looks incredible. Stones Throw are currently one of my favorite labels, because I’ve been really getting back into Jaylib and Madvillain and all that shit. This newest project solidifies them as one of my favorites. Straight from the Stones Throw news page, J Rocc posted this: Share My Bed=M.J. & Dilla 1st [...]
Another post, another Domino Records release. The record label is poised to kill it 2010, with releases from Four Tet, Final Fantasy, and now These New Puritans. The insane British group are following up ’08’s Beat Pyramid with Hidden, set to hit stores February 2nd of 2010. I don’t know much about the album, other [...]
Tape men are big fans of Kieran Hebden, so we’re super stoked about this release. Four Tet is releasing There Is Love In You, January 26th on Domino Records. The album features “Love Cry”, a track we’ve heard from his super limited EP that Domino released as well. The track is wonderful, really getting us [...]
Another great Grizzly Bear video. The video is directed by Allison Schulnik, who after checking out some of her work is fucking awesome. Check some more of her stuff out here. Grizzly Bear- Ready, Able
Sirius XMU did a session with Dirty Projectors the other day (or something like that), and have released a video for “No Intention”, which was done acoustically. They did some acoustic renditions at the show I was at a couple of nights ago, and it sounded pretty cool. I’m still a fan of “Useful Chamber” [...]
