Widow City, the sixth studio effort from behalf of brother-sister act [tag]The Fiery Furnaces[/tag], is slowly, but steadily approaching. I’ve got to tell you, the anticipation is driving me nuts, every time I find a leaked song I’m all ecstatic and stuff, it’s got to be the most awaited album of the year for me. What I love most about this new album is that it’s so much different from what I’ve listened so far,…
[tag]Josh Ritter[/tag] is the type of artist, as opposed to today’s mainstream stars, who doesn’t sit in long hours studio sessions, just to let the computers do his work. He likes to walk in a studio and just start recording whatever comes to his mind, singing with his heart and mind; the end result can be seen in his latest album, The Historical Conquests Of Josh Ritter, a very raw and passionate release. Did I…
California native Earlimart have gone through a lot of changes in their musical style along their 10 years of existence. Their first records were more post-punk/folk influenced, sounding more like Pixies and Sonic Youth, but ever since Aaron Espinoza discovered that adding a piano can drastically improve their music, they’ve been spitting out sophisticated pop, that often resembling Elliott Smith. “Happy Alone” is a slow and melancholic track, off Earlimart’s latest album Mentor Tormentor. Espionoza’s…
You never really know what to expect when listening to a [tag]Animal Collective[/tag] track, actually their sound is hardly describable, ranging from somewhere between psych-folk and noise-rock. Such is the case with “Winter Wonder Land”, a track full of experimental percussions and synth pop complemented by Avey Tare’s feel-good vibe and vocals. It’s not Christmas yet but Winter Wonder Land is sure to brighten up your weekend, and take you to a world where snowfall…
[tag]The Fiery Furnaces[/tag] is a Brooklyn based indie rock band, consisted of two very talented siblings: Matthew and Eleanor Friedberge. A real great band which i’ve been digging for a while now, but which most people confuse it for a [tag]White Stripes[/tag] look-alike, because of the similar garage rock/blues sound and also because Jack and Meg White were considered brother and sister(they’re actually a divorced couple). That’s entirely not true, their a very solid and…
I’m feeling a bit melancholic today, that and being struck witha severe case of laziness, caused me to do nothing but waste my time in front of the PC and listen to a lot of old and mostly sad songs. I figured you guys could enjoy a little mp3 love so here’s “Black Like Me”, from one of my favorite indie bands [tag]Spoon[/tag]. The track’s off their latest and best album Ga Ga Ga, an…

I’ve been recently digging Kentucky noise rock duo Magik Markers ( Elisa Ambrogio, Pete Nolan), a band that sounds super primitive, with super groovy free rock, a lot of supers anyway. What i most like about them is their keen sense of improvisation, often jamming on the spot on gigs. If your interested their debut album, in this formation, “BOSS” will be out on September 25, in the US. The leading track off BOSS, is…
