The Fader is doing a really awesome new series, in which they capture bands playing stripped down songs in their local bars. A couple of days ago I showed you their set with Girls, and now we have a great video by Neon Indian. Tristan did a nice write-up on Alan Palomo and co. yesterday, [...]

Neon Indian is glossier than a freshly sealed door. Alan Palomo's latest project can only be described by that word-gloss. Compared to all his other projects, (VEGA, Ghosthustler) Neon Indian shines. Not only does that sheen make it stand out, but it also comes through in the sound. Heavily polished and meticulously mixed, his debut [...]

Continuing the increasing trend of hip hop-laced dubstep tracks, Caspa just leaked the first song from his upcoming LP. MC Dynamite provides the vocals, spitting over the surprisingly ghastly beat. If the Pokémon Gengar had a theme song, this would be it. Dubstep has been making its name as the haunted house of music, and [...]

Only two songs have been created, but The Babies (a collaboration between Woods' bassist Kevin Morby and Vivian Girl Cassie Ramone) are already getting the hype they deserve. Their songs are blissful, jangly pop songs, that are really well constructed. I asked Kevin a few questions in hopes of finding out about the future of [...]

The first show announced is a New York performance on September 21, 2010 at Rumsey Playfield in Central Park. A pre-sale begins at 10:00 AM [...]

Jogger’s music is a unique blend of the acoustic and the electric. Amir Yaghmai provides the acoustic, playing violin and guitar, while Jonathan Larroquette shores up the electronic end with his laptop/other electronics. They just announced their debut LP, This Great Pressure, set to be the first release on Daedelus’ “Magical Properties” imprint. With that announcement came [...]

Yoni and co. are doing some pretty hysterical promotional videos for their upcoming album, Eskimo Snow, which comes out September 22nd. They did the same thing for Alopecia, which was hilarious as well (you can find all of them on youtube). Check out the video of Yoni hiring a new manager, Blake Maxwell. This is [...]

Brief and candid in comparison to some of our former interviewees (GT, Dan Deacon etc), our little chat with CHLL PLL frontman Zac Nelson provided some very interesting insight into the bands message and attitude behind music making. Unedited so as to provide our readers with an authentic representation of Zac’s banter…EnjoyThe Tape: Where does [...]

Lymbyc Systym was a duo previously not on my radar, but after listening to “Ghost Clock” over and over and over again, I have now surrounded myself with the beauty that is this track. The first one and a half minutes or so are beautifully layered guitars, filtering in and out with the electronic equivalent [...]

This is the end of the modern DJ. An art form that used to require skill, patience and devotion now requires none of the above. As it becomes increasingly easy to make a mashup, create a mix and blend two songs, the necessity for a “real” DJ becomes lessened. People often complain that DJs “push [...]

Thanks to The Fader, who recorded some awesome footage of a couple of Girls songs. Their debut LP, Album, comes out September 22nd on one of my favorite labels, True Panther Sound. It’s a phenomenal album, easily in my top 5 of the year. Check out “Ghostmouth” below, along with a few others over at [...]

ATP happened this weekend outside of New York, and it sounds like everyone who went had a great time. Panda Bear played a rare non-AnCo show, and there’s a pretty nice bootleg that’s spreading it’s way through all the blogs pretty quickly. He played some Animal Collective tracks, some of his own work, the remix [...]

MTV ShowsWell played, Kanye. Classy as usual.

Yes Giantess have taken their pop stylings to Little Boots’ latest single, “Earthquake.” Amidst the expected swirl of warm synths, Yes Giantess adds a glorious wobble into the main part of the song. You would think it would be a little redundant to have Yes Giantess remix Little Boots, considering they’re almost her male counterparts, [...]

A while back, we posted some Yoni Wolf live sessions. We now have accompanying video, so check out "Against Me" below, and some more over at Pandora. Eskimo Snow comes out September 22nd, a joyous day. Pre-order it here (LP or CD). Yoni Wolf- Against Me

This song was probably not written about The Tape, but we run this town anyway. Jay-Z’s latest cut has hit the radio, and it’s a big one. Commercial success is slapped on this song’s forehead, and for good reason. Featuring Rihanna and Kanye West, Jay-Z taps into some prime commercial demographics. The song itself is [...]
