Tunng: “The Village”

New Tunng? Yes, please. You know I am affectionate toward the London crew, and their new song, “The Village,” does little to alter that. The song is 4 minutes 33 seconds, and I’ve listened to it 5 times in the last 22 minutes and 45 seconds. Math! “The Village” is the new single off Tunng’s [...] [...]

[MP3] Miss Elizabeth: “Ein Weißwein”

A new song from our Toronto friends, Miss Elizabeth, premiered on MOKB last week, and I’m beginning to think the duo can do no (rhymez, yo!) wrong. Atmospheric harmonies and a sensory experience make ”Ein Weißwein” one to remember. Miss Elizabeth – “Ein Weißwein” [MP3] Miss Elizabeth on the web | Facebook | Bandcamp | Knox Road [...]

Black Light Dinner Party: “We Are Golden”

Well, I held back on this for a bit so there wouldn’t be much bias in posting, but now it’s time for show and tell. Consider it a special Sunday night post. Black Light Dinner Party, whom I’ve previously written about in a mysterious way, recently released their new song “We Are Golden.” And with that [...] [...]

[Abby's Road] In like a Lion

So. Social media and digital subscription services. Despite one’s attempts to avoid and not use them (I myself am anti-Twitter), both have infiltrated our lives to a point of being as common as a daily physical newspaper, which, ironically, 24 hour-a-day news-hungry public notwithstanding, has disappeared from some of the most lucrative of journalistic markets. [...] [...]

Miss Elizabeth

Miss Elizabeth is two dudes out of Toronto, one of whom I’ve written about in the past. Absurdly catchy electronic pop, Miss Elizabeth is one of those bands I can listen to on the crowded NYC subway and lose myself. I’d be tapping my feet and bopping my head and shaking my body (that’s how [...] [...]

Junior Prom

It’s bright music Monday on Knox Road! Junior Prom, a new Brooklyn duo, create some of the most infectious pop I’ve heard in, well, forever, and they’re barely even rookies. They began recording their first material in the winter and are gradually releasing tracks this summer. We’ll keep you updated either here or via Twitter. [...] [...]

[MP3] S. Carey: “Two Angles”

And for once, everything felt just right. Stream S. Carey’s entire Hoyas EP (available in stores May 8th) at Stereogum | Preorder [...]

Oak Island

A mere 339 plays on Last.fm…and the music is actually really good! Oak Island, aka Jeff Zito, is the kind of artist I’m more than willing to post about. A musician, writer (check out his blog, “Eating A Hobo”, here), and apparent cat-lover (check out his Bandcamp pics…) based out of Queens, New York, Zito is [...] [...]

Notable Album Release: Lali Puna - Our Inventions

More Morr music! And this one’s a doozy. Lali Puna, one of my favorite electronic pop acts, are set to release their first new material in over five years. Needless to say, it’s been way too long. Organic and female-fronted, Lali Puna have stolen my heart on numerous occasions. Last featured on KR in a [...] [...]
