Yes, the prog-sludge-whatever-metal icons are back with their follow up to 2009’s Crack The Skye (which I loved). The Hunter comes out Sept. 27 but you can hear it right this second by going to the band’s official site. As for initial thoughts, I have to say that I do enjoy the band’s steady move towards melody and coherence. Sure, they’re not as heavy as they were but whatever sheer power they’ve lost (or, rather,…
I’m a FlyLo fanatic ever since I dropped upon his instant underground classic debut “1983”. One of the perks you, my friends, get out of this is an instant update whenever Flying Lotus has something out. A bit late I admit, yesterday, the talented producer uploaded two new tracks provisionally, or not, titled “Lullaby” and “Heave (n) mix2” on his SoundCloud account. As always, stumping 2-4 beats, well layered percussion and mind racketing keys top…
In a statement released last month Morrissey said, “The follow-up to Years of Refusal is ready and fluttering wildly against the bars. There is still no record label and the years shuffle like cards. My talents do not lie in DIY.” Everything shuffles, indeed, and the former Smiths frontman work has proven to have pass the test of time, which has always been a primordial criteria for selecting valuable art – what a subjective term….

This Saturday, as part of Record Store Day, Radiohead released two new songs titled “Supercollider” and “The Butcher”, the last two remnants from the King of Limbs sessions, and highly likely the last material the band will churn out this year. While Supercollider is very laied back and chilled, “The Butcher” simply blew me away with its haunting instrumental, stellar percution and an implacable as ever Thom Yorke. The two tracks are out now at…
TV on the Radio will release their new album, “Nine Types of Light”, next week and wouldn’t you know it, you can stream all the ten tracks entirely for free down at Rhapsody (with your 25 tracks trial account and granted you’re on an US ip, of course). The follow-up to the exquisite Dear Science will land officially on April 12th via Interscope Records. For a quick feel of Nine Types of Light, check out…
The fairy tale screening of Red Riding Hood has been stirring a lot of waves recently, none that will probably find any echoes past 6 months from now, but nonetheless Twilight fans will definitely devour this up. And although I have little faith in the movie itself, I find the soundtrack much to my interest, being scored by Brian Reitzell (30 Days Of Night, Beginners) and Alex Heffes (State Of Play, Inside Job). Joining them…

Luckily, with week in advance we’ve been privileged enough to sample the whole album in its entirety via the ever giving NPR stream. Hit play below and stream PJ’s eight studio release in its entirety.
At the beginning of the year Dave Grohl and his Foo Fighters announced out of a sudden that they’ve finished recording the band’s seventh studio full length, leaving Foo fans and reminiscing grunge fanatics incredibly anxious. Not much is known about it, except from what Grohl already told us, namely that old Nirvana buddy Krist Novoselic plays bass somewhere on the record and that it’s the “heaviest [Foo Fighters] work to date.” The first single…
