The Postmarks make another beautiful record

The Postmarks are so many things. Initially, they were a fish-out-of-water band that defied expectations and stereotypes of the Miami music scene. Contrary to the skeezy beach club music we’ve come to expect, the group is soft, sweet and beautiful. They’ve brought this sound to the somehow fitting stage of Nickelodeon’s Yo Gabba Gabba where… Continue reading The Postmarks make another beautiful record

Mew’s newest is monotonous and thrilling all at once

You won’t blame me for starting off the review with this, right? Thanks dudes. So, then, here’s the title of Mew‘s newest album: No More Stories Are Told Today I’m Sorry They Washed Away No More Stories The World Is Grey I’m Tired Let’s Wash Away *Wipes sweat beads from brow* Phew. Okay, onward, then.… Continue reading Mew’s newest is monotonous and thrilling all at once

Arctic Monkeys unveil new, relaxed sound on Humbug

I listened to this album once. I hated it. I slept on it. I put it on again. The Arctic Monkeys, who gained quick recognition in the UK upon the release of their 2006 debut, Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, are now on their third studio album, Humbug. The name seems… Continue reading Arctic Monkeys unveil new, relaxed sound on Humbug

[MP3/Video] Wax Tailor: “Say Yes”

We don’t talk about a lot of hip-hop here on KR, and that’s just a shame. Because sometimes songs like Wax Tailor’s “Say Yes” come around and they can slip through the cracks. So easy! Like when you drop your credit card down the little slot between the elevator and the elevator shaft (tragic!). But… Continue reading [MP3/Video] Wax Tailor: “Say Yes”

The Antlers release video for “Two.” Where are his eyes?

Your guess is as good as mine. The Antlers have put out an animated video for their awesome song “Two,” off of their album Hospice, which was re-released yesterday. Check it out below. And seriously, where the hell are his eyes? It sort of reminds me of a dream I had. I was in the… Continue reading The Antlers release video for “Two.” Where are his eyes?

[MP3] SUNBEARS! – “I’m Alive”

Trivia time! On a scale from one to twee, how twee is this band’s name? The answer, if you were wondering, is ” 🙂 🙂 :).” But screw it, these guys are pretty good. I saw them without knowing who they were last April opening for Black Kids and Mates of State, and although they… Continue reading [MP3] SUNBEARS! – “I’m Alive”

Jay Reatard reinvents 70s punk rock on Watch Me Fall

Jay Reatard makes singles like a baker makes bread. It seems to come naturally to the man from Memphis who is releasing his first full-length album since 2006’s solo debut Blood Visions. But the waiting pays off on Watch Me Fall, which stands out in 2009 as being one of the only remarkable albums on… Continue reading Jay Reatard reinvents 70s punk rock on Watch Me Fall

Dirty Projectors to release EP; fans to wet themselves repeatedly

Looks like another hotly anticipated release for September has been announced, and I don’t know if I can handle all this coolness. On the 28th of that month, Dirty Projectors will release the four song Temecula Sunrise EP. It will include two songs from this year’s Bitte Orca, and two as-of-yet unheard B-sides (“Ascending Melody”… Continue reading Dirty Projectors to release EP; fans to wet themselves repeatedly

Anything and everything by Antony and the Johnsons is newsworthy

Seriously. Now, although I may have posted about this when it first happened (basically, a little while ago, Antony covered Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love” live and it was gorgeous), I’m posting about it again because I’m all sorts of obsessed with everything from camp Antony. So here we have a video for the song, via… Continue reading Anything and everything by Antony and the Johnsons is newsworthy
