There’s been a lot of talk around Keane’s upcoming third album, “Perfect Symmetry,” especially because, allegedly, the band has gone throw a change of direction from multiple points of view. “Love Is The End” is one of the 11 tracks that can be found on the new LP, and, from what I can tell, sounds the same as any other Keane song. I mean, I’ve only listened to only two songs from the new album,…
The 4 members of the band The Kooks
Alex Turner’s Arctic Monkeys are quite the workaholics, apparently, with a new record every year, or at least that’s what the band makes us think. After the 2006 extraordinary debut, and last year’s “Favorite Worst Nightmare”, the Arctic Monkeys are now preparing to head back to the studio to work on a new album, albeit chances for it getting released in 2008 are very slim. Joining them, however, on the new record is none other…
Boys and girls, Vampire Weekend is back! No, chill, not with a new album, but a new MP3, in which the NY quartet masterfully cover Fleetwood Mac’s “Everywhere.” The song was recorded on a Australian Radio show and let me say they’ve done a terrific job, especially on the vocals department, where Ezra Koenig virtually made the cover stand out. The MP3 is bellow thanks to Pretty Much Amazing via P4K. [display_podcast]
We’ve been hearing a lot from Daniel Rossen this past year, with new music, TV & radio appearances with his main band Grizzly Bear, and now with his side project Department of Eagles, a folktronica duo, that he founded with his friend Fred Nicolaus. You can blame Grizzly Bear’s erratic performances all over the country and countless other musical collaboration for keeping Daniel away from DoE, but now he and Fred are back on the…
We’ve had a real indie soap-opera this weekend, with the whole Deerhunter/Atlas Sound records leakage. The whole event was categorized like a big ol’ publicity stunt by the media, fans and even labels, but Bradford (Atlas Sound) gives indications that that’s certainly not the case. Furthermore he posted a really lengthy apology down at his blog, where he explained the whole thing, said sorry to all the people that felt in any way offended by…
I don’t know what’s with bands these days releasing albums straight out of the blue, just around the time they have a boner. Maybe it’s a trend or something, frankly I don’t really care, and to be honest I like a good surprise now and then. A new Bloc Party album certainly makes a good one. The band just announced earlier today the release date and name of their new LP, that’s been in the…
Props to Bradford Cox (Atlas Sound) of Deerhunter, again. The man seems to write songs as often as I change socks, which is not often enough, apparently. Anyway, he just released another “7 virtual vinyl (No. 4) over at his blog. Here I found a little gem of song, called “Holiday.” The song’s far from a summer pop anthem, instead it features dark, gloomy lyrics, then, put together with the mellow music, make a very…
The cover art for Oasis’s upcoming album, Dig Out Your Soul, out October 7th Well, the last news I expected from Oasis right now was concerning their upcoming album. I mean, I was certain we’d hear something of a response from Noel Gallagher, regarding the whole Jay-Z/Oasis dissing from a few days. Anyway, I’m glad the band has somewhat abandoned their publicity whoring, for a while at least, and concentrated on what really matters: music….
A lot of The Cure related news this week, but who’s here to whine about it? After The Cure emo remix EP (featuring appearances from Jared Leto, Gerrard Way, Pete Wentz and other ‘super stars’) and the Perfect As Cats: a tribute to The Cure cover LP have been announced with great fuss, before the band’s latest upcoming thirteen record comes out on October, we’ve finally treated with some decent sampling from the new album….
