Last year’s “Intimacy” didn’t really cut it for me, being way too blunt and really unattractive by all means. Not even the following remix version didn’t manage to deliver something positive, although I usually find remixes to work well on more modest releases. Surprisingly, something like a week ago, the band premiered a new single, right [...]

One of the most talented contemporary American bands, Spoon, just recently released their first material since the critically acclaimed 2007 “Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga,” as the lo-fi infused “Got Nuffin” comes gracing our picky ears. Have to say, though, not the best title (as if “Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga” wasn’t enough), since this [...]

People, you can’t possibly miss this! Two of my favorite indie artists, Annie Clark, more known after her stage moniker St. Vincent, and the mellow Andrew Bird will be touring together this summer and autumn in most of North America. Both are exquisite live performers and I can only imagine what it must feel like [...]

Almost a month ago me and Andrei invaded Barcelona and painted the town red during our 3 days stay, when we even got to see AC/DC play live at the Estadio Olimpico de Lluis Company. Chances had it, though, that we weren’t able to prolong our stay a few more weeks so we might squeeze [...]

![Jens Lekman infected with H1N1 swine flu virus [he's alright, folks!]](http://www.zmemusic.com/wp-content/themes/flashnews-dev/thumb.php?src=http://www.zmemusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/jens_lekman_swine_flu.jpg&h=75&w=75&zc=1&q=95)
Just got word of some pretty sad news, seems like one of the most nicest artists in the indie scene, Jens Lekman, unfortunately contracted the all too dreaded and excessively publicized H1N1 “swine flu” virus during his stay in South America. Apparently Jens felt really sick during his flight back over the Atlantic when he [...]

Yes, good band names are apparently very hard to find these days, but, leaving semantincs aside, the Durham/Chapel Hill trio of Hammer No More Fingers packs quite an indie rock punch. The band’s latest album, titled “Looking For Bruce,” was released earlier this year via Churchkey Records, but it’s only been until a few hours [...]

“Bitte Orca,” the latest album from behalf of one of New York’s most talented experimentalists Dirty Projectors, is without a doubt in this year’s top 10 albums so far, and “Stillness is the Move” is simply a jewel of a single. The beat, the vocals, the lyrics, everything sounds just delightful - a true treat [...]

I just recently stumbled upon this brilliant song that will most certainly be part of my summer tracklist, the beautifully lazy “Sun Was High (So Was I)” by Bethany Cosentino aka Best Coast. This is definitely a stoner anthem, fit for any beach house get to together, sea side stroll or, of course, torch lighting. The [...]

Not your typical Mars Volta video, seeing how it’s all fairly simple, featuring altering shots with the band playing their latest single “Since We’ve Been Wrong” in a studio, while being streamed on an old TV tube with a vintage feel. It’s quite appealing though, despite its simplicity. It has one of those reminiscent vibe wrapped [...]

I have recently made a review of Liechtenstein's album "Survival Strategies in a Modern World" (you can read the article HERE) and I decided that it was deserving of much more than just a review. So an interview with the girls was definitely the next step. Renée was so kind to answer all of the questions and I hope you'll enjoy reading this band's
Kasabian: 'West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum'
Aiden: 'Knives'
Ben Harper & Relentless7: 'White Lies For Dark Times'
Yusuf Islam: 'Roadsinger (To Warm You Through The Night)'
Sun Domingo: 'The World's Alive'
