[MP3] She & Him: “Thieves”

The Brand New Fancy Stereogum premiered the latest single from the absurdly adorable Zooey Deschanel/M. Ward duo, She & Him, this morning and it’s just as absurdly adorable as you imagined. The cutesy folksy duo is gearing up the release of their sophomore album, Volume Two, so be prepared for another wonderful onslaught of Zooey’s… Continue reading [MP3] She & Him: “Thieves”

Shearwater does Shearwater pretty well on The Golden Archipelago

To be honest, at this point in their career, I’m not expecting anything particularly earth-shattering from Shearwater. Figuratively, that is. I don’t expect them to toy with their awesome, awesome formula too much, and on The Golden Archipelago, they deliver. Literally, I want Shearwater’s music to shatter earth, every sustained falsetto from Jonathan Meiburg and… Continue reading Shearwater does Shearwater pretty well on The Golden Archipelago

Electric President’s The Violent Blue strikes at our core

We’re in a dark cellar. The only light we see is rays from the tiny window in the corner that show the floating dust. I can barely catch your image through squinted eyes. I take one step closer, you take one step back. Progress? Maybe. My strides are longer than yours. I take another step… Continue reading Electric President’s The Violent Blue strikes at our core

[MP3] The New Pornographers: “Your Hands (Together)”

New New Pornographers?? “SHUT UP” –The 1980s. It’s the truth! Matador has released the first look at the band’s new album, Together, out May 4. The song is “Your Hands (Together)” and despite it’s repetitive nature, it’s a solid first single and a hopeful look into the new album. I mean, if this is just… Continue reading [MP3] The New Pornographers: “Your Hands (Together)”

Phenomenal Video Saturday: 65daysofstatic

This week’s PVS video is one I’ve actually known about for a while (because I’m great, basically), and just never got the opportunity to post it here. So it’s a special one! This is the English post-rock band (don’t run away!) 65daysofstatic performing their ree-diculous song “Radio Protector” from the album One Time for All… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: 65daysofstatic

[MP3] Broken Social Scene: “World Sick”

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”
