[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”

[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”

Delorean announces tour dates with Miike Snow

Delorean is great, nobody can deny that. Miike Snow is also great, but there are more than a few people willing to deny that (sorry guys). But the two together on tour? That’s a greatness that some people will deny, while others will not. Confused yet? It’s not like it’s math. Although I guess it… Continue reading Delorean announces tour dates with Miike Snow

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”
