The Golden Filter released a gem back in September called “Thunderbird” that is just now getting the video treatment it SO deserved. It’s not adventurous or experimental or creepy (like some OTHER recent videos), but it’s sweet and intimate and, most importantly, it matches the soft nature of the song. The Thunderbird 12″ is out… Continue reading The Golden Filter make sweet, intimate video for “Thunderbird”

Hot Chip and The xx announce tour dates
Don’t get too excited, there isn’t a whole tour lined up or anything, but electronic dance heroes Hot Chip are teaming up with indie newcomers The xx for four shows across the U.S. and one in Canada. While not an immediately obvious pair, the two should make for an interesting show. Dark brooding minimalism in… Continue reading Hot Chip and The xx announce tour dates
Jadiid
Jadiid is an interesting band. If you asked me to give you their overall “sound,” I suppose I’d say something about acoustic guitars, folk, soul, and the like, but it wouldn’t be a fair description. The band’s full-length, It’s OK, Be Anxious, definitely has an acoustic bend to it, but it also features electric guitars,… Continue reading Jadiid
Themselves out-creep damn near everyone on their video for “Roman is as Roman Does”
Over the past week or so, we’ve gotten two really strange videos: Grizzly Bear’s “Ready, Able,” and The Most Serene Republic’s “Heavens to Purgatory.” Well, Themselves must have seen those two videos and were all “screw that noise” and went to work on the weirdest video (featuring cupcakes) EVER. Like, I can’t even explain what… Continue reading Themselves out-creep damn near everyone on their video for “Roman is as Roman Does”

Flaming Lips make NSFW artistic vision come true
Remember when I told you The Flaming Lips like to be experimental and “artistic” and what not?

And today? Mission… Continue reading Flaming Lips make NSFW artistic vision come true

Memory Tapes is offering up the single for “Graphics” for free! The Very Best! The band recently released the excellent LP, Seek Magic, and turned a lot of heads (or at the very least, mine).

[MP3] Squirrelhouse: “Apocalypso”
It’s been too long since we’ve heard from Squirrelhouse, am I right? Remember Squirrelhouse? The five-piece band from Tuscaloosa I talked about way back in February? Well they’re going to be releasing a new album in 2010 (their first, SPQR, is definitely worth a listen) and to get everybody psyched for it, they’ve released the first… Continue reading [MP3] Squirrelhouse: “Apocalypso”
