Josiah Wolf is the multi-instrumentalist member of WHY? (and brother of singer Yoni), and to make a long story short it looks like he’ll be releasing his own solo album this coming March. The album will come out on the 2nd, it’ll be titled Jet Lag, and oh my lord the first quarter of this… Continue reading [MP3] Josiah Wolf: “The Trailer and the Truck”

Notable Album Release: Tunng – And Then We Saw Land
You’re probably already familiar with Tunng, but how many of you actually knew they were coming out with a new album in March? I didn’t; I won’t lie. But their newest track, “Don’t Look Down Or Back”, which I stumbled upon as a free download on last.fm, immediately perked my interest. It’s one of Tunng’s… Continue reading Notable Album Release: Tunng – And Then We Saw Land
Bullets In Madison
Our friend Brendan over at Count Me Out is a talented fellow. Aside from running a blog like the rest of us folk, he’s pretty much a full-time musician, recording solo and with his band, Bullets In Madison. He understands this little thing we like to call “the internet” and as such, Bullets in Madison… Continue reading Bullets In Madison
In Case You Missed It: Week In Review
Spent the week love/hating NBC?* I mean, how can a network be so obnoxious (Conan/Leno/etc.) and yet bring you SO many great things (30 Rock/Community/etc.)? I think I speak for everyone in the world when I say “I’m confused about this, NBC!” So rather than let that confusion rule your life, shake it off with… Continue reading In Case You Missed It: Week In Review
[MP3] Sufjan Stevens: “The Sleeping Red Wolves”
Of course Sufjan slipped a secret b-side onto The BQE. How did I not see this coming? It’s vintage (or should I say, Michigan era) Sufjan, with enveloping, falsetto harmonies and orchestral leanings. This track obviously was meant to be entirely different than the rest of The BQE, as it’s a song we’d expect from… Continue reading [MP3] Sufjan Stevens: “The Sleeping Red Wolves”
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… Continue reading Notable Album Release: Lali Puna – Our Inventions

[MP3] Seabear: “Lion Face Boy”
New music from Seabear, the seven-piece Icelandic group who will be releasing their second album, We Built A Fire, on one of our favorite labels, Morr Music. The release is slated for March 2010, and will certainly have an uptick in band-like quality as Seabear is gaining some momentum with their new members. Originally a… Continue reading [MP3] Seabear: “Lion Face Boy”
[MP3 + Video] Bear Hands: “What A Drag”
Summer seems like so long ago now doesn’t it? Remember Bear Hands, the guys we were pleasantly surprised with musically at the Siren Festival? Well, they’ve just released a video and free mp3 for their single “What A Drag” which has been floating around for quite some time but is now officially out with a… Continue reading [MP3 + Video] Bear Hands: “What A Drag”
