Notable Album Release: Deastro – Moondagger

Well friends, we’ve got a talented up-and-comer on our hands. Next week, June 2, Deastro (Randy Chabot, from Detroit) will be releasing his new album, Moondagger. And yeah, I really hadn’t heard much about this Chabot figure until I found him on the IODA SXSW sampler. And his song, “Parellelogram,” absolutely floored me. Also, I… Continue reading Notable Album Release: Deastro – Moondagger

iLiKETRAiNS makes music, enjoys locomotives

The first lines in the first song of the first album by Leeds-based iLiKETRAiNS (yes, it’s stylized just like that), sung by frontman David Martin, go as such: “How could I / Have led these men to their demise / And they just follow?” It’s not a particularly optimistic sentiment, sure, and the fact that… Continue reading iLiKETRAiNS makes music, enjoys locomotives

New Dead Weather: “Treat Me Like Your Mother” [MP3]

The Dead Weather have released another track from their highly anticipated debut album, Horehound. I don’t know you guys, I’m getting kind of bored with their stuff so far. All the songs just sort of run together… Oh, but I’ll still get the album, because why not. I like taking risks. Horehound is out July… Continue reading New Dead Weather: “Treat Me Like Your Mother” [MP3]

Phoenix’s Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix …enough said

Yes, yes, yes. YES. Where the hell did this come from? Since as far back as I can remember (United in 2000 included), I’ve been putting Phoenix tracks on my friends’ mixtapes, thinking of them as one of those great indie unknowns (in the States at least), save for one of their tracks, “Too Young”,… Continue reading Phoenix’s Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix …enough said

Grizzly Bear’s Veckatimest is inspiring, imperfect, intriguing

How can one begin talking about Grizzly Bear’s Veckatimest? Highly anticipated, already critically revered, the album’s reputation almost speaks for itself. Coming off their first two acclaimed recordings, Horn of Plenty and Yellow House, expectations were high for Brooklyn’s own experimental/alt folk/indie darlings. So did Veckatimest deliver? Well, lets see. True to indie album form,… Continue reading Grizzly Bear’s Veckatimest is inspiring, imperfect, intriguing

Review: mewithoutYou – it’s all crazy! it’s all false! it’s all a dream! it’s alright

I feel as though mewithoutYou has long been neglected in the indie music community, and I guess, until now, that’s really been understandable. Their earliest releases were deeply rooted in post-hardcore, and vocalist Aaron Weiss alternated from sing-speak to yell-speak over mounds of angry, pounding distortion. Now, though, things have changed. The band’s newest –… Continue reading Review: mewithoutYou – it’s all crazy! it’s all false! it’s all a dream! it’s alright
