I’m a bit late with this, but nevertheless those of you who didn’t get the chance to sample Interpol’s new single should do so immediately! With almost a decade of making music together under their belt, the NYC indie starlets seem to have returned to great form, sporting a return to the roots record in the form of their upcoming, yet still untitled, new album, following up their previous not so cohesive effort. You can…
Frank, the Funkasaurus Rex, is back once with his latest feature in The Black Keys video for “Next Girl”, a very low and sexy song off the band’s upcoming new album. While Frank is always a joy to watch dance and lipsync, the whole take goes to the gorgeous ladies in the video this time. Watch out for the cat fights! The Black Keys new album, titled “Brothers”, is due May 18 on Nonesuch Records.
A lot of people were heartbroken by Victoria Bergsman’s departure from the band, but I’ve always had faith in Lisa Milberg vocal talents, and judging from The Concretes’ latest song off their upcoming album, she couldn’t had made me more proud. The Concretes’ new album, titled “WYWH”, is set for a Octomber release. [mp3 via MBV Music] [MP3] The Concretes – ‘Good Evening’ ZME: You’ve released 3 albums, 7 Eps and a couple of singles…
Quite a few quality releases this week. The obvious standout of the week is Hold Steady’s new record “Heaven is Whenever”, which aside from our obvious affection for the band is well on par with their previous material, making it a definite recommend! “Forgiveness Rock Record”, Broken Social Scene’s first record in five years, is also out this week. I’ve been sampling FRR for a few weeks now, since it leaked on the web, and…
Violent, aggressive, and disturbing is nothing but M.I.A.’s latest video for her latest single “Born Free”, which just recently leaked on the web. It’s better to leave this short for words, so I’ll leave you to Romain Gavras’s directed video below. Free the ginger kids! M.I.A.’s still untitled third album will be allegedly out June 29th.
Seems like the Washington state lottery is trying to tap into the indie kids market with this latest commercial, soundtracked by a new, unreleased Grizzly Bear track. Although only 60 seconds long, the music as expected is simply outworldly – coupled with the marvelous choreography staged by Michael Rooney, the man behind (500) Days of Summer‘s beloved Hall & Oates dance sequence, and the dreamy visuals by Patrick Daughters, who previously helmed Grizzly Bear’s “Two…
What the heck is AudialsOne? Boy, boy! Well, in a nutshell AudialsOne is one powerful piece of software that enables users to record anything you might be streaming on your computer, be it audio or video, and then stash it on your computer without any kind of loss in quality. Free music in the bag! Not impressed? Let me go more in depth about this Tivo for recording media from the Internet. AudialsOne: the review…
I’ve been waiting for Deftones’ new album to come out for ages, and in less than a few weeks, the band’s sixth studio release dubbed “Diamond Eyes” will be upon us. Below you can check out the video for the blood pumping Diamond Eyes, the record’s second single and title track. I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews for Diamond Eyes, some hailing it as the band’s best effort since their self titled, while others…
The Eric Wareheim directed video for LA’s noise rock quartet HEALTH is this hacker-slasher beaut, which can be viewed right below. A lot of thrill, a lot of gore and, of course, a lot of noise in this one, so please be advised. HEALTH “We are Water” from Eric Wareheim on Vimeo.
I simply loved the 2008 “In Ear Park” by the smashing indie duo Department of Eagles, individually formed by Grizzly Bear’s Daniel Rossen and Fred Nicolaus. At times the album feels likes a religious experience, one where the surreal meets life and blends into one unique crossroad. The whole thing was extremely polished, from composition, to arrangements, to production – a perfectionist’s soundtrack, if you will. As such, a lot of tracks have been scrapped….
