new music video: vampire weekend - "cousins"
-
Artist:
-
Album:Contra
-
Track:Cousins
From Vampire Weekend's forthcoming Contra record, this video for "Cousins" offers a more spastic piece of pop than the previously surfaced "Horchata".

He...

the guest apartment: elizabeth and the catapult
-
Artist:
On record, as in their latest Taller Children (Verve Forcast), Brooklyn trio Elizabeth and the Catapult are an inventive young pop group, coveting tales of equal woe and whimsy with irresistible charm, knee jerk spats of wit and wisdom, and plenty of gracious personality. They're a feel good listen, and a recent stay at the Guest Apartment proved one could rob them of some instruments, but not...

feature: interview with jessica lea mayfield
-
Artist:
Jessica Lea Mayfield is tall. That was the first thing I noticed as she approached me on the balcony of Webster Hall two weeks ago; she looked so much shorter on stage. This meeting occurred minutes after her stunning set, consisting mostly of the heartfelt songs from Blasphemy So Heartfelt, her impressive debut record. Being younger than me, I guess I naturally assumed she'd just be shorter. T...

As one of 2009's most promising artists and Polaris Prize Longlist recipient, Timber Timbre is a macabre patchwork of Gothic and gospel influence. On this, the band's third release, front man Taylor Kirk ...
