First Aid Kit back in the woods for “Our Own Pretty Ways”

In part two of a three-part series (see part one), First Aid Kit released a video for “Our Own Pretty Ways” from Drunken Trees, their debut EP. The video is again shot in the forest with sweaters cold and breath and stuff.

New Black Lips Video: I’ll Be With You

I love this new video for Black Lips’ “I’ll Be With You” not just because I love Christmas and hate clowns, but also because I love all things that simultaneously remind me of The Sonics and The Wonder Years. The song is off their latest album, 200 Million Thousand, which is out now on Vice.  The… Continue reading New Black Lips Video: I’ll Be With You

Thanks to See What You Hear, I received word that Emperor X (Chad Matheny) has his new (January 12) album, The Blythe Archives Volume 2, up on his website for free download. This is the same Emperor X who made one of my favorite songs ever in “Raytracer”. It’s a bit unusual at first if… Continue reading Emperor X: Free album download

Tenaka – Eponymously Titled

I stumbled across Tenaka (aka, Ronan Carroll) a little while back upon hearing of a free 4 song EP, Eponymously Titled, released in January, on his MySpace. Not knowing much about the music, except that it had been labeled electronica, I wasn’t sure what to expect. However, as soon as I saw “Ireland” next to… Continue reading Tenaka – Eponymously Titled

Even Pomona, CA. Oh yeah, they’re getting a show! Their upcoming full-length, My Maudlin Career, is out April 20 (UK) and April 21… Continue reading Camera Obscura lines up MONSTROUS TOUR

New Young Rival video: “Your Island”

Canadians Young Rival got a little buzz this past summer with songs like “Your Island,” but the cutesy adorable indie pop song (that my Mom happens to love) finally got a video! It’s cool. Like, really cool. It kind of reminds me Old Gregg, but that’s a good thing. I love remembering the Boat Times!!… Continue reading New Young Rival video: “Your Island”

Balmorhea (bal-mor-ay)

I don’t know how we got sent this one but my are we lucky. Balmorhea, (pronounced bal-mor-ay) from Austin, is Rob Lowe (not that Rob Lowe) and Michael Muller, accompanied by Aisha Burns (violin), Travis Chapman (upright bass), Nicole Kern (cello), and Michael Bell (drums). Now seems like a good time to promote them as… Continue reading Balmorhea (bal-mor-ay)

William Fitzsimmons for a Friday

Yep, I am most definitely late on this one. I don’t understand how I have not listened to this bearded mellow fellow more often, and trust me, such a thought now gives me deep regret. But presenting him to you on a Friday makes me happy, as he’s the perfect sound to wind your week… Continue reading William Fitzsimmons for a Friday
