Under The Sherry Moon is the project of a bunch of Danish musicians that has a TON of potential. They’re working on their debut album now, but some of the first tracks are awesome! Their wandering lo-fi electronic sound is something totally different and original. The songs are complex, well-written pieces that singer Signe Marie Schmidt-Jacobsen haunts with… Continue reading Under The Sherry Moon

Notable CD Release: Matt & Kim – Grand
Not my typical style of music, Matt & Kim, the Brooklyn duo, somehow find a way to keep me listening. And that’s why I’m excited for the new album release, Grand, January 20, and for the upcoming record release show, January 22, at Williamsburg Music Hall in Brooklyn. They have pounding beats over danceable (if… Continue reading Notable CD Release: Matt & Kim – Grand
So. Cold.
It is freezing right now in New York. I don’t care if I’m from Boston, don’t tell me I should be able to suck it up. Cold is cold no matter where you’re from. Free mp3 for whoever buys me some footsie pajamas! (Fair trade, no?) Aw, what the hell, everyone’s a winner at Knox… Continue reading So. Cold.
Pawnshop Diamond
A glass of wine and folksy love songs with a groove are always good. I don’t care who you are, you will be in the mood for it sometime or another. So it’s fortunate we have Vancouver, B.C.’s Pawnshop Diamond. Led by Katie Ormiston, the band has been described as “both vintage and timeless,” “observant… Continue reading Pawnshop Diamond
New Fol Chen video full of ocean whimsy
Fol Chen just released the video for “No Wedding Cake” and it’s a little odd. It has something to do with crabs and whales and mythical creatures?? And watch for the creepy owl. I get a little Stephen King vibe from it. “No Wedding Cake” will appear on the band’s next album, Part I: John Shade,… Continue reading New Fol Chen video full of ocean whimsy
Kings of Leon playing at Madison Square Garden
Coming at you live from New York, the first concert post of my new “local” area! Kings of Leon, who made for themselves a memorable 2008, will be playing (with The Whigs) at Madison Square Garden on Jan 29th. I’ll take a guess and say this is probably the biggest venue they have ever played,… Continue reading Kings of Leon playing at Madison Square Garden
New Of Montreal video: “An Eluardian Instance”
It’s a few days old now, but I can’t get over how much I love the new Of Montreal video for “An Eluardian Instance.” I watch it and sigh, wishing I could live my life full of beaches, kites and ridiculous sunglasses. If you don’t have the song yet, go out and buy their latest… Continue reading New Of Montreal video: “An Eluardian Instance”
Mono releases new album!
To be very honest, my favorite band changes about every day. Sometimes twice a day. So when I say that Mono is my favorite band, understand that I mean until tomorrow. Ok. That being said, my favorite band is releasing their fifth album “Hymn to the Immortal Wind” soon. For those that are not familiar,… Continue reading Mono releases new album!
Peter Bjorn and John release details on new album, “Living Thing”
PB&J just released the details for their new album, Living Thing, as well as the tracklist. Wichita has apparently given the record a listen, and says it’s a HUGE “fuck you” to their previous pop album (sorry guys, no more “Young Folks”). Apparently the band is actually crazy experimental, and has only pretended to be a… Continue reading Peter Bjorn and John release details on new album, “Living Thing”
New Alela Diane video: “White As Diamonds”
Folksy artist Alela Diane released “White As Diamonds,” the single from her forthcoming album, To Be Still (out Feb. 17 on Rough Trade), last month, and now we have a great visual to go along with the beautiful song. The video is all cool and touching and deep and stuff. (BTW, I totally called the whole… Continue reading New Alela Diane video: “White As Diamonds”
