Um…is this really happening? I think so. Broken Social Scene just made a free track available from their forthcoming album, Forgiveness Rock Record, which drops May 4 on Arts & Crafts. And wow, it’s a freaking awesome song. As if I couldn’t be any more excited for the new album. The choruses have so much… Continue reading [MP3] Broken Social Scene: “World Sick”

Getting Dirty with Chrissy and Julia
It feels like just last week that I was writing about Detroit bedroom project Coyote Clean Up. And now Chrissy from CCU is teaming up with Maryland artistĀ Julia LaDense for their new project Chrissy and Julia. Can we go wrong here? Well I guess we could, but no we can’t! The combination of Chrissy’s sweeping… Continue reading Getting Dirty with Chrissy and Julia
Liars battle ocean rocks (!!) in “Scissor” video
Now THAT’S how you make weird music videos. Liars have just released the video for their single “Scissor” off upcoming album Sisterworld, and it’s just what we (at least I) wanted: a guy floating in a raft battling rocks that attack him from the depths of the ocean. Perfect! Does this video mean anything? Maybe.… Continue reading Liars battle ocean rocks (!!) in “Scissor” video
[MP3] White Hinterland: “No Logic”
Gorilla vs. Bear just premiered “No Logic,” an awesome new track from White Hinterland’s upcoming LP, Kairos. The song has that underwater, slow, drifting in a Caribbean island harbor feel. You know what I mean. We’ve ALL been there before. Along with previously released single “Icarus” I’m getting pretty excited to hear the full album.… Continue reading [MP3] White Hinterland: “No Logic”
Shearwater makes the weird, overly dramatic music video of your dreams
[youtube width=”540″ height=”360″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbPLy4-OgAw[/youtube] Huh? Ok, I like weird music videos as much as the next guy, but Shearwater’s video for “Hidden Lakes” gives off too much of a “This video MEANS something. We are 100 percent serious” vibe. The straw hat, HUGE eyelashes, eating something weird off the ground… it all just screams “metaphooorrrrrr….” But… Continue reading Shearwater makes the weird, overly dramatic music video of your dreams
[MP3] The Morning Benders: “Excuses”
The Morning Benders are prepping the release of their new album Big Echo and released the single, “Excuses,” on their website last night. If you’re anything like me and LOVE that 60s pop sound, you’ll be very happy with the new single. I tell ya, the 2010s are looking a lot like the 1960s/70s. Psychedelia,… Continue reading [MP3] The Morning Benders: “Excuses”

On Field Music’s Measure, disc two exceeds disc one by leaps and bounds
Naturally, when there are two “sides” to an album, I listen to it in the order it’s given to me. Like an album is supposed to be listened to. I was plenty excited to hear Field Music’s newest (larger than) full-length as Tones of Town and Field Music were past favorites and I thought when… Continue reading On Field Music’s Measure, disc two exceeds disc one by leaps and bounds
