Baltimore’s Neil Sanzgiri is Soft Cat, a talented folk singer/songwriter that equally caught my ears and eyes with this beautifully water color video for “It Won’t Be Long”, animated by Miranda Pfeiffer,. The song is off Neil’s upcoming new album titled “Wildspace”, which is set for a fall release on Friends Records. Check out a letter from Neil, after the jump.[via Yours Truly]
Props to Nathaniel from I Guess I’m Floating for recommending this up and coming new band from Atlanta called Living Rooms. The sound is extremely colorful and there’s a distinct sense of joyfulness wrapped around every track, like a sunny summer day or a road trip soundtrack with your best buds. One can clearly sense the Animal Collective influence deeply rooted in their sound, packed with harmonizing vocals, atmospheric synth lines, up-lifting percussions and heavy…
It was just last week that Sufjan Stevens unveiled to the world his most recent material, the one hour long All Delighted People EP. Seems like it was all just one big chunky appetizer seeing how we just received an official press release announcing the artist’s new full length, titled “Age of Adz” (supposedly spelled ‘age of odds’ according to the press release), an album filled with motifs like “love, sex, death, disease, anxiety and…
Having toured extensively in 2009 and 2010 alongside Cat Power and Grizzly Bear in support of their latest album, the hypnotic “Teen Dream” released earlier this year, the dream pop duo of Beach House have proven gig after gig they’re just as remarkable and out worldly live as in the studio. Yesterday, the band released a brand new live EP called the iTunes Session EP recorded as a three piece which shows some solid reworks…
“Tres Brujas”, The Sword’s first video as part of their self-described “Post-Apocalyptic Western Trilogy” premiered earlier today and is very much everything one could have expected – blood, gadgets, samurai swords and hard rocking spacy jams in ….ermmm space! Check out the video below. Warp Riders, the new The Sword record, is out this week via Kemado Records. You can download the song here.
Sadly, Brian Eno’s notoriety comes as a consequence of his, albeit excellent, production work for some of the most influential albums of our time, like U2’s Joshua Tree, in the detriment of his pioneering ambiental/experimental/minimalistic solo work. Yes, Eno is back with a new record this year under Warp Records (his first with the label), who recently confirmed the leaks and rumors according to which the artist would be releasing new material soon. The new…
Your favorite orchestral indie maestro is back, as Sufjan Stevens released a brand new 8-track, one hour long EP, titled “All Delighted People”, this weekend all without any notice. I’m gonna spare you the details, as I’m sure your just as curious to hear the new material as I was I first heard about it, so I’ll just leave you to the full EP stream below. Of course, you can buy the EP for the…
Here’s to starting off the week with a big smile and on dancing steps with Ted Leo and the Pharmacists’ latest brillinat video for “Bottled in Cork”. The video premiered today on funnyordie.com and in it the band gets convinced by Reginald VanVoorst, played by the hilarious Paul F. Tompkins, to stage their new album “The Brutalist Bricks” as a Broadway musical. Of course, what follows is a slew of intensive rehersals before the musical is performed…

Having already released a dazzling LP this year in the form of the critically acclaimed “Cosmogramma”, Flylo is set to put out some new material at the end of September when his new seven piece EP titled “Pattern+Grid World” is set to ascend. One of the tracks off the EP, the dizzy synth infused Camera Day, which just as good could had been the soundtrack for an acid trip video game, can be streamed right…
