Here’s another reason to subscribe to Bradford Cox’s blog, as he just posted the latest installment to his virtual 7″ series, released under the Atlas Sound moniker, that features a great cover of the Five Discs‘ late ’50s jam “Doctor” and a brand new song on the flip called “The Screens“. Speaking of which, The [...]

We’ve raved about auto-tune, T-Pain and the likes before, but this track right here is sheer gold for anyone left with a sower taste after channeling through MTV nowadays. A while ago, Jay-Z released a called D.O.A. (death of auto-tune), in which he openly condemned the overuse of auto-tune in the mainstream scene today. “This [...]

Like most of you might have already heard, the new Spoon album, titled “Transference“, will be out in early 2010, in January, making for an awesome kick start of the new year. Judging from the few new songs the band have been playing live on tour and “The Mystery Zone”, a new leaked song off [...]

Them Crooked Vultures have released a new single from their forthcoming self-titled album called “Mind Eraser, No Chaser.” It’s named after the drink, and the song’s lyrics discuss the “dangerous side-effects.” The song’s typical of what’s already been heard from the band: skittery, sideways riffs running rampant, Dave’s kit pounding and Josh’s swagger behind the mic. [...]

Last week, I told you all about how exited I was about the new Yeasayer album, post in which I shared a few details, scarce as they were, regarding the band’s new material. The hunger for more fueled by that little news piece, might have irritated a lot of you, but today we’ve got a [...]

A few weeks ago The Whigs gave away the infectiously catchy title track off their upcoming new album, “In The Dark“, as a free digital download on their website. The same thing happened today as well, when another song off the Athenian trio’s new album was put out for free download. The new song is [...]

One of the most interesting debut projects of the year is, without a shadow of a doubt, the Austin electropop Neon Indian. The band’s sound is an interesting mix of lo-fi and reminiscent ’80s cheesy disco beats, delivering in the process some incredible synths and pop hooks. It’s not nearly as danceable as Alan Palomo’s [...]

The Whigs are a band that has slowly, but surely, risen among the ranks in the indie/alt rock scene in the last few years. What’s very important to note is that the band’s initial spark of success came based solely on a self-released effort, their 2005 debut “Give ‘Em All A Big Fat Lip“, which [...]

During her recent summer tour, Karin Andresson released a very limited edition 7″, featuring her covering Vashti Bunyan’s “Here Before” and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ “Stranger Than Kindness.” Both are excellent, but I found the Nick Cave one strangely interesting. The original is soberly dark, but this Fever Ray version dwells even further, [...]

It’s only been until this summer that I finally got acquainted with Thao and the Get Down Stay Down’s incredible alt rock, when, completely by chance, I stumbled across their myspace. Boy, was I missing out! There’s something really special about the band, it’s almost like they have this sort of aura around them, something [...]
