Seems like I’ve become more and more fascinated by NSFW material (I’m not even what would one call a porn aficionado), it just seems these kind of videos manage to resuscitate the viewer and transform an insipid band in studio video recording into an exiting, engaging and wild film. Sex can do that. I know little to nothing about the Barcelona one man band El Guincho, but the video for his latest single Bombay off…
Hailing from the snowy plains and peaks of Alaska, Olga Bell, or Bell as she goes by her stage name, is the latest electro-pop artist to come under my radar, and its signal is very, very strong. Then again, I just recently came across her music, but she’s been gaining praises and attention from the blogosphere’s finest since 2008’s self released six track “ep”. Now, expanded to a full three piece, the band is planing…
Deerhunter’s forth full length studio album will be out next Tuesday, September 28th on 4AD. Until its release date, you’ll be able to stream the whole album in its entirety via NPR.org on the stream below. I’ve played it twice so far and I find it to be incredibly atmospheric and well textured. Moody, hazy and ultimately memorable, this might just be Deerhunter’s best album to date, and most definitely the band’s most accessible record…
In a recent talk with BBC Radio 1’s Newsbeat, Elbow frontman Guy Garvey lashed out on people who can afford to buy music, but choose to rip it, saying they’re “going to hell” for it. “If you genuinely can’t afford music then of course you’re going to rip it. If you can afford it and you don’t pay for it then you’re going to hell and you’ve got your own room. Especially when it’s a…
Yet another video from Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavilion, this time for “Bluish”, and as one might except it’s got copious amounts of blue. Yeah, blue bubbles, blue smoke, blue cosmos, blue dancing exotic dancers and, of course, big blue eyes. You can check out the video below for the YouTube stream or directly at the Animal Collective homepage for some nice, crisp HD quality.
One can see the resemblance, but is Cohen capable to fill Freddie Mercury's immense shoes? I'm skeptical.
“The Wild Hunt”, Kristian Matsson’s latest full length released this spring is, for me at least, one of the best folk albums released in the past few years, but alas like any delicious pastry for the ears, it leaves the gourmand always begging for more. Luckily, the Swede, better know for his Tallest Man on Earth moniker (he’s just 5’9″ if you’re wondering), recently released a new EP titled “Sometimes the Blues is Just a…
I can’t believe how self-degrading this band has become over the years. If I wasn’t completely convinced that Weezer is just surfing the huge geek trend and trying to cut some cash by releasing crap material year after year, last night shattered any doubt. It’s enough to see Rivers Cuomo dance around like a socially awkward middle aged man on Jay Leno’s Late Night stage to realize it’s ALL OVER. Some of you nostalgic, naive…
A few weeks ago I told you all about this wacky new cinematographic project called The Social Network which is more or less a cross between a Mark Zuckerberg’s biopic and a thriller/horror/action/drama/comedy/whatchumacallit blockbuster movie. Now, the movie may seem kinda … for lack of a better term stupid, but when a man like Trent Reznor steps up and offers his musical talents for the movie’s score, then I guess more than just an eyebrow…
I find Dan Snaith to be one of the most underrated musicians of the electronica scene today, simply because the man isn’t getting by far the kind of coverage and credit he deserves. I absolutely adored and fell in love with “Andorra” day by day as I digested the album and each track started to grow on me. With this in mind, you can imagine I had high hopes and anxious feeling regarding Caribou’s latest…
