[MP3] Papercuts: “White are the Waves”

When I woke up today, I was totally feeling some quiet, old-fashioned-sounding pop. Which is weird, because usually I just feel tired and roll over and curse at the heavens. But today was different! And San Franciscans (Franciscoans? Franciscers?) Papercuts delivered with their new song, “White are the Waves.” The song sounds like a ditty… Continue reading [MP3] Papercuts: “White are the Waves”

Lay Low’s ‘Farewell Good Night’s Sleep’ to finally make U.S. debut

The Icelandic treasure that is Lay Low (singer/songwriter Lovisa Elisabet Sigrunardottir) will be releasing her 2008 album, Farewell Good Night’s Sleep in the States March 9, 2010. “Why has it taken so long”, you ask? With all my awesomely extensive music knowledge up at the plate, I can answer with a big, hearty, “I don’t… Continue reading Lay Low’s ‘Farewell Good Night’s Sleep’ to finally make U.S. debut

[MP3] Fredrik: “Vinterbarn”

Fredrik offered up a new mp3 today along with an accompanying video over at Stereogum, and they’re both awesome. The video is all sorts of eerie, as was said previously about Fredrik’s “Locked in the Basement” track, so their forthcoming album, Trilogi, appears to be getting darker by the day. I’ve said plenty about Fredrik… Continue reading [MP3] Fredrik: “Vinterbarn”

Notable Album Release: One For The Team – Ghosts

KR friend Ian Anderson (over at MFR) and his band One For The Team are set to release their third full-length, titled Ghosts, March 16, 2010. Quickly becoming experts in the jubilant pop scene, One For The Team has been a steady riser, especially following the success of their previous album, Build It Up.

[MP3] My Education: “Oars”

Loyal Knox Road reader, see that picture above? Those guys look pretty chilled out, right? WRONG-O! They’re My Education, and they’re not chill; instead, they’re feedback and tremolo picking and slow, deliberate post-rock buildups. Sounds like a Jon band! And they’re releasing a new album, Sunrise, in April 2010. That’s a long time from now,… Continue reading [MP3] My Education: “Oars”

Jónsi is going to release the best solo album ever ever ever ever

So it’s not particularly new news that Jónsi (aka that guy with the high voice from Sigur Ros) will be releasing his first solo album, called Go, on March 22, 2010. What is new is the fact that when you hear it you’ll double over crying and your tears will be sticks of licorice which… Continue reading Jónsi is going to release the best solo album ever ever ever ever

[MP3] Liars: “Scissor”

LiarsLiarsLiars!! One of my favorite bands in the whole world will be releasing their fifth full-length, Sisterworld, on March 9, but we have the first listen today! The song is called “Scissor” and it’s, um, well, explosive? It’s strange, to say the least, and it definitely defies any sort of expectations anyone might foolishly have about… Continue reading [MP3] Liars: “Scissor”

Notable Album Release: The Go Find – Everybody Knows It’s Gonna Happen, Only Not Tonight

Yeahhhhhh! SO MUCH exciting music from 2010. Sorry 2009, and well, the rest of the decade, but we like to look ahead just as much as we like to look back. That being said, The Go Find (nee Dieter Sermeus), a premier electronic pop artist (erm, suck it, Owl City…apologies to Sermeus for featuring the… Continue reading Notable Album Release: The Go Find – Everybody Knows It’s Gonna Happen, Only Not Tonight
