With such artists under their roster, like The National, Deerhunter, TV on the Radio, Bon Iver or St. Vincent just to name a few, it would have been only foolish for the British indie label 4AD not to make their own in-house show. Following the success of the amazing Deerhunter set at the 4AD studios from last year, the label have launched the 4AD Sessions – an ongoing series of video recordings with various acts…
We’ve raved about auto-tune, T-Pain and the likes before, but this track right here is sheer gold for anyone left with a sower taste after channeling through MTV nowadays. A while ago, Jay-Z released a called D.O.A. (death of auto-tune), in which he openly condemned the overuse of auto-tune in the mainstream scene today. “This is anti-AutoTune / Death of the ringtone / This ain’t for iTunes / This ain’t for sing-along,” goes Jay through…

Sufjan Stevens once had a plan so ambitious, so preposterous, that it seemed like one of those ‘just crazy enough to work’ things – write a concept album about each of the 50 states. He started off with the midwest when he released the lush “Michigan” in 2003, before carrying on with the magnificent 2005 “Illinois”, which, among other gems in the tracklist, features “Chicago”, Sufjan’s best song to date by far! Something happen afterwards,…
Like most of you might have already heard, the new Spoon album, titled “Transference”, will be out in early 2010, in January, making for an awesome kick start of the new year. Judging from the few new songs the band have been playing live on tour and “The Mystery Zone”, a new leaked song off Transference, it’s going to be one hell of a album! Over at MySpace, Britt Daniel notes: This is the first…
Last week, Tegan and Sara’s sixth full length studio album, “Sainthood”, dropped with tons of praise from both critics and fans alike. Upbeat and catchy it’s nearly impossible not to like the Canadian twins, and I’m sure Conan loved them last night when the girls stopped by and played the banging “Back In Your Head.” Tegan and Sara have announced that they will launch their first extensive tour of the U.S. in nearly two years…
Last week, I told you all about how exited I was about the new Yeasayer album, post in which I shared a few details, scarce as they were, regarding the band’s new material. The hunger for more fueled by that little news piece, might have irritated a lot of you, but today we’ve got a special treat. Streaming bellow is the first single off “Odd Blood” titled “Ambling Alp”. The song, as a whole, makes…
Recently, the experimental three piece band Liars have posted a cryptic post on their MySpace blog, containing a new art work (posted above) and few links directing fans to thesisterworld.com. So far, the website only contains three very weird videos depicting various nature scenes, sounds included. What do they mean? Beats me if I know, but it sure does look like something the Liars would’ve cooked up. One thing’s for certain, though – the whole…
A few weeks ago The Whigs gave away the infectiously catchy title track off their upcoming new album, “In The Dark”, as a free digital download on their website. The same thing happened today as well, when another song off the Athenian trio’s new album was put out for free download. The new song is titled “Hundred/Million” and follows a less radio friendly approach with respect to the title rack, with less emphasis put on…
