However, they are, by all accounts, from the Midwest. This is only a point worth mentioning because I am also from the Midwest, so we have a lot in common that way. Wh...

Celebrate Halloween with Peter Squires's New Video, "Witch"
I don't usually do festive or holiday posts. In fact, the closest I get is writing some kind of seasonal bent against a track, and only then when I've had too much coffee and can't find any relation to a song other than what the weather is doing. I just think holiday-themed posts / articles are lazy. But Halloween is different. Why? Because Halloween, to paraphrase Wesley Willis, whips a horse'...

Track:What is this World Coming To
Sounds Like: thankfully, the music overshadows the cover artRIYL: Phoenix, New Order, The Strokes, Franz FerdinandA Few Words: I took one look at their cover art and very nearly wrote off The Swimmers altogether. It seemed like it would be an album full of derivative synth pop tunes that bounce from cliche-laden verse to chorus and back again. Yet into the player it went. Considering my patienc...

Track:Said the Captain
Sounds Like: dancing to the great indie waltzRIYL: Calla, Maritime, 764-HERO, Band of HorsesA Few Words: Some of my favorite bands are the ones unknown to others. Obscurity lends a particular allure. Of course, sometimes these little-known bands are off the radar for a reason--and by all accounts should remain buried. Yet I can hardly describe the excitement I feel when I'm introduced to a band...

Album:
Sounds Like: not quite winterRIYL: Animal Collective, Cloud Cult, Samuel Flynn Scott, Belle & SebastianI waited until Autumn to post Sin Fang Bous, the solo moniker for Seabear founder Sindri Mar Sigfusson, because listening to it makes me reach for a sweater. Or a hoodie. Or a jacket. Anything to keep in the warmth. And, surprisingly, this has little to do with Sigfusson's Icelandic origins.Cl...

Lucero Video for "Darken My Door"
Darken My Door from Lucero on Vimeo.It's good to see that a serious band doesn't have to take itself seriously. Even better when a band's fans don't take them too seriously. "Darken My Door" off of Lucero's latest album, 1372 Overton Park, is a song about losing stuff--girlfriend, money, dignity. In fact, a lot of Lucero's songs are like that, but I'm not getting into that now. I'm talking abou...

Ash - True Love 1980 Video Not Your Typical Boy-Meets-Girl
-
Artist:
-
Track:True Love
Of course it's not typical. For one thing, it's Ash. For another, it's 1980--a time when the world was bathed in faded orange and all our t-shirts were either monochrome or E.T. iron-ons. We forgot about this ambient cusp of existence between disco and Don Johnson as soon as we hit 1985 and discovered the magic of neon and asymmetry. But don't let the contemporary hipster culture fool you--nobo...

Click Click (Bang Bang) :: New Video From Miss Derringer

Album:

Track:
How about a little rockabilly for Friday? Or "insurgent country"? Or "alt country"? Whatever the hell the kids are calling it these days, Miss Derringer isn't paying attention because they're busy promoting their second album of vintage sounds, Winter Hill, which, set in 1960s New England, tells the tale of a mob war between the Irish and (who else?) the Irish. With influences ranging from ...
