Reflection Eternal Are Back Again!
It's been almost a decade, feels even longer since the well respected Train of Thought debut album from Reflection Eternal, an awesome slamma-jamma collabo between DJ Hi-Tek and Talib Kweli . They're back with a brand new album called Revolutions Per Minute with an excellent first single out appropriately called Back Again. You'll be hearin' a lot about this album when it drops later this sum...

Anarchy in the Ukulele
When exactly did the ukulele boom start? Was it Zach Condon and the charm of Beirut? Is it because it's like a guitar, but cuter? You can YouTube some of the most random ukulele madness these days - and I'm sure every swap meet ukulele salesperson is stoked over the youthful indie interest in these rad little strings. But who was doing it before all us kids thought about it? The Ukulele Orchest...

The Perks of Being A Rural Flower
Oh, Canada. You are like a magicians hat, but instead of white rabbits you make wonderful bands appear! The latest to hop from the magical brim above the States and into my iTunes? The Rural Alberta Advantage. This three piece from Ontario has the beating heart of folk, like a floor tom fighting against a keyboard on a guitar string stage, pumping out stories of "hometowns and heartbreak." Nils...

dublab VisionVersion : BUSDRIVER
-
Artist:
What's up! I was excited to see an email this morning for a VisionsVersion with Busdriver. As you know Busdriver dropped his latest, Jhelli Beam, a couple weeks ago and it's got that classic Busdriver feel with lots of lefty beats and high word counts galore. There's a lot of dope stuff packed into this album but unlike the obvious satires in his previous albums, this one just seems differen...

Nouvelle Vague's 3!
Another one of producer Marc Collin's successful projects, Nouvelle Vague, has just released their appropriately titled 3rd full-length album, 3! Like the first 2 albums, it's full of awesome-a-fied covers 'cept this time around these late 70s, early 80s re-arrangers have original singers on select tracks. Depeche Mode founder Martin Gore is on the cover of Depeche Mode's Master & Servant. T...

Don't Stop Till You Get Enough!
I remember watching Thriller as a kid, being super afraid of that half-alive-half-dead Michael Jackson. Especially right at the end, when you think he's all cool again, that it was all a dream, then he turns around and his eyes are yellow and Vincent Price starts laughing maniacally because your homey MJ is totally a zombie.Well, no one's laughing now. (Well...some people are. But not me.)All j...

Summer Tunes from Whale Tooth!
Whale Tooth is a wonderful 5-piece from Toronto Canadia and they've got a stupendous self-titled EP out which makes you really wonder why they dont have a full length! They are currently unsigned but I can't imagine that's gonna last; labels out there, you guys need to pay attention. I'm diggin' Elise LeGrow's souful voice, it really puts a good twist on these sweet pop songs! Their single, H...

The Bower of Music
If you are a fan of folk in the vein of Fleet Foxes, Grizzly Bear, and all of those other bands named after animals that live in the forest, you need to listen to Bowerbirds. This three-piece from Raleigh plays music both simple and full, anywhere from crying violin and soft guitar duets like "The Marbled Godwit," to accordion driven call and response numbers like "In Our Talons" (from their 20...
