A constant innovator, Bjork is pushing the lines between what’s conventional and not in the music business once with the release of her highly anticipated forthcoming x-th album, Biophilia. In the lines of what I scribbled earlier, the Icelandic songbird is planning to release the aforementioned release as a whole big iPad app. To be [...]

Paste Magazine’s “Producer of the Decade” is at it again; but, what exactly is he up to this time? Danger Mouse, the stage name for versatile producer Brian Burton, has aided in bringing us many of our last decade’s favorite albums, from Gnarles Barkley‘s St. Elsewhere and The Odd Couple to the Black Keys’ Attack [...]

Mainly due to frontman Jónsi Birgisson’s focus on solo projects in the past few years, there’s been little insight, let alone new material, surfacing from the Icelandic dream-pop experimentalists. Sensing this, who knows, Sigur Ros has uploaded to its SoundCloud a slew of new unreleased tracks, like demos, alternate versions or rare lives, which never [...]

Sadly, Brian Eno‘s notoriety comes as a consequence of his, albeit excellent, production work for some of the most influential albums of our time, like U2′s Joshua Tree, in the detriment of his pioneering ambiental/experimental/minimalistic solo work. Yes, Eno is back with a new record this year under Warp Records (his first with the label), [...]

The Eric Wareheim directed video for LA’s noise rock quartet HEALTH is this hacker-slasher beaut, which can be viewed right below. A lot of thrill, a lot of gore and, of course, a lot of noise in this one, so please be advised. HEALTH “We are Water” from Eric Wareheim on Vimeo.

Tons of fireworks, dead unicorns, super heroes, Canadian Mounties etc. – you’re likely to find any of those at a Flaming Lips concert, where every town that guests it automatically becomes the international capitol of mind fuck for a whole night. This summer, Wayne Coyne will be leaving his extravagant lair to join the rest [...]

Recently, the experimental three piece band Liars have posted a cryptic post on their MySpace blog, containing a new art work (posted above) and few links directing fans to thesisterworld.com. So far, the website only contains three very weird videos depicting various nature scenes, sounds included. What do they mean? Beats me if I know, [...]

I simply loved Yeasayer‘s 2007 debut, “All Hour Cymbals“, an album that shines of an epic, out worldly atmosphere – a world where sludgy metal textures, gospel, a capella and liberal doses of electronic psych-rock mania reign undisturbed. As a result of their well received debut, the Brooklyn band was signed by Secretly Canadian for [...]

As previously reported, The Flaming Lips‘ follow-up to their recently released full length “Embryonic” will be a cover album of Pink Floyd’s classic Dark Side of the Moon, most probably adapted to the band’s eclectic experimentalism. This Friday, The Flaming Lips hit the KCRW studios where they played Pink Floyd‘s 1973 classic closer “Eclipse“, as [...]

Last night, The Flaming Lips played LA’s Ricardo Montalbán Theater as part of a more intimate set, free of the band’s usual live show props (no explosions, fake blood or anything that could be considered outrageous, not for The Flaming Lips at least). There, the band opened up the crowd with a set packed with [...]
