For some reason or the other, I’ve always found Death Cab for Cutie’s mellow music suitable for soundtracking a vampire love story Hollywood flick. Actually, the association never came to mind but now that I’ve happened to listen to the band’s latest single, especially released for the upcoming New Moon soundtrack, the music seems remarkably suitable. The song, suggestively titled “Meet Me On The Equinox,” hits you from the start with the sense of an…
I just stumbled across this incredibly magical video a few minutes ago over the web and I just can’t stop watching it over and over and over again! Ok, I’ve left you a bit in the mist, and I apologize for it. To be more explicit, I’m talking abut the music video for “Thurso” by Glasgow indie band Over The Wall. The song itself, although very soothing and melodic, is far from being anything mind…
Here’s something special to kick off the day, if you’re into fencing that is. Either way, you’ll most likely love Grizzly Bear’s recently released video for their smashing single “While You Wait For The Others” directed by Sean Peknold. Abstract imagery, packed with wacky animations and after effects make quite the fun view as well, as opposed to the more mellow and somewhat creepy video for Two Weeks. Enjoy! Off Grizzly Bear’s most recent album…
We all understand we’re living in though times with the recession being in full swing and all, but boy is this video low budget. No, I mean really low budget, even for a indie label. I can understand that the producers were going for a spontaneous, fan made-like take on the song, but the end result is really dreadful. It’s just about a bunch of people, let’s call them friends, gathered around the beach, having…
I simply adored Victoria Bergsman’s latest single Watch The Waves. The oriental vibe, coupled with her almost effortlessly serene vocals made it simply dazzling. Her sophomore solo release, “East of Eden,” is just weeks away, so I thought you guys would like another listen to Victoria’s beautiful symphonic pop and top notch production. Here’s “My Boys” a very cool spin-off to Animal Collective’s wicked “My Girls.” The tempo is slowed down a few notches, leaving…
Check out this incredibly chill acoustic set by Annie Clark (St. Vincent) in which she plays “Actor Out of Work” and “The Strangers” for the fine folks down at Grandcrew.com. It’s just Annie (and the dude with the camera), her guitar, a pair of sun glasses, clean air and beautifully warm ultraviolets. Lounge!
Right in time for John’s upcoming fall European tour, the talented singer/songwriter will putting out two new 7″ releases Too Much Time” b/w “Moon Rocks,” out 10/6, soon followed by “D.I.A.L.O.” b/w “Do What You Want.” While most Vanderslice fans will recognize the A-sides as two featured songs off his recently released full length “Romanian Names,” it’s worth noting that the B-sides are completely new and unreleased tracks. Very curious to hear those. [via MBV…
The band’s latest EP, titled “Loosing Feeling,” has been available for free stream down at the Sub Pop website for some time now. All you need to do is submit a working e-mail address and you’re set. Today, the fine people at No Age’s label have also released the last track off the EP out for download – the guitar blazing rocker “You’re A Target.” Walls and walls of sound will hit your out of…
Islands’ third full length “Vapours” is just a few weeks away from its scheduled release date, and subsequently we’ve been treated with a little appetiser in the form of this free MP3 of the title track. The song, albeit very short, perfectly conveys much of the band’s moody, laid back vibe. Aren’t the horns in the background just delightful? [MP3] Islands – ‘Vapours’ Vapours will be out September 22 via ANTI- Records. [via YANP!]
A few months ago, I expressed my enthusiasm (CHECK OUT THE TRAILER! CAPS FAIL) regarding the upcoming fantasy flick “Where The Wild Things Are,” a film adaptation of Maurice Sandak’s popular children book. Today, we get out first taste of the furry, fantastic, mind blowing and, of course, wild adventures that lie ahead once with the release of the first song of the soundtrack – “All Is Love.” The song was written and played by…
