Islands’ third full length “Vapours” is just a few weeks away from its scheduled release date, and subsequently we’ve been treated with a little appetiser in the form of this free MP3 of the title track. The song, albeit very short, perfectly conveys much of the band’s moody, laid back vibe. Aren’t the horns in the background just delightful? [MP3] Islands – ‘Vapours’ Vapours will be out September 22 via ANTI- Records. [via YANP!]
Last week Radiohead revealed a new, non-LP, non-EP track called “These Twisted Words.” “We’ve been recording for a while, and this was one of the first we finished. We’re pretty proud of it. There’s other stuff in various states of completion, but this is one we’ve been practicing, and which we’ll probably play at this summer’s concerts. Hope you like it,” said Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. We really like it, Jonny, but no one expected…
A few months ago, I expressed my enthusiasm (CHECK OUT THE TRAILER! CAPS FAIL) regarding the upcoming fantasy flick “Where The Wild Things Are,” a film adaptation of Maurice Sandak’s popular children book. Today, we get out first taste of the furry, fantastic, mind blowing and, of course, wild adventures that lie ahead once with the release of the first song of the soundtrack – “All Is Love.” The song was written and played by…
If the last few weeks have been a bit stale when new, worthwhile music was concerned, consider this late August period as a small sign that things are finally beginning to shape up as we’re being treated to numerous valuable releases. I’ve been following the Sheffield quartet’s career since their debut from a few year back, so, personally, my favorite release of the week out of the whole bunch is naturally “Humbug”. I looked forward…
ZME interviewed Astronauts of Antiquity. Bob Dylan got somewhat arrested by police authorities after strolling through someone’s back yard. Freaky! Get some interesting insights on Woodstock by The Daily Swarm, like set lists, declined invitations and the likes. Guitar God Les Paul passed away last week at the venerable age of 94. Rest in peace, maestro! Megadeth is streaming a brand new song. ZME interviewed We’ll Make It Right. The Decider interviews Kim Deal. Michael…
So I was giving a cursory glance over the latest news on Rolling Stone’s website and I came across yet another example of why everyone hates the RIAA over these lawsuits. Now, I could use this space to simply shit all over the rather fascist policies of this organization but that’s been done and probably better than I could this morning. Anyhow, when I read the story, two things stood out and more than likely…
We were all really psyched about the whole Them Crooked Vultures deal, how it was more than just a rumor, how it’s developing into more than just a super-group – into a movement. I’m loving it! Sadly, for their debut performance at Chicago’s Metro we couldn’t find any footage what so ever. All we could do was to wait for the day the band was going to play again, while hopefully some die hard fan…
Directed by Nir Ben Jacob, The Walkmen’s latest video for the troubling “On The Water” starts innocent enough, featuring close ups with two really lovely bunnies, despite the CGI environment. Pitch black and stormy skies don’t foretell anything but trouble though, and the video gets a turn for the worst. The animation, although not by far breath taking or anything, does very well to capture emotions, like fear, anxiety or sadness. Pretty good for a…
Pocketbooks is lately, probably the most appreciated British indie pop band, if we were to consider the different reviews and critical opinions it has received from various music websites and magazines (you’ll read about it in the interview). They come from London, they have released a 7″, an EP, a single and have recently released their debut album – “Flight Paths”. The album is available HERE for purchase! If you want to read about great…
Boy, am I baffled, though. I’ve spent the last couple of days scorching in the sun while sipping mojitos on my recent, way too short vacation, thinking “Hey, it’s mid-season. Nothing interesting never really happens this time of year. The internet can do just as fine without me.” Was I surprised to find out Radiohead is the hot trending topic everywhere again, especially since Thom Yorke stated the band won’t be releasing a new album…
