The band has posted the whole album on their MySpace and is now available for streaming. I’ve listened to it a few times so far, and it’s a so so record, with a few great tracks (“Silver Lining”, “Dreamworld”), but some terrible ones as well (“Smoke…
With his forth album, Andorra, just around the corner electronic musician [tag]Caribou[/tag] reveals his latest video for “Irene”, directed by Nic Brown & David James.

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…
The mischief adventures of Manhog continue in [tag]Jose Gonzales[/tag] new video “Killing For Love”, in which Jim Woodring’s acclaimed comic book Manhog Beyond the Face (be sure to read it, it’s great!) is brought to life. This is the second video Andreas Nilsson has made for Jose, after Down The Line, with the same Hogman sage theme. This time around Hogman is completely bare naked, as opposed to the Down The Line video, where he…

Texan indie rockers Spoon once again prove their not just a local band, but a full worldwide one with their latest Japan filmed new music video for “Don’t You Evah”. The video features a dancing Keepon grooving on the band’s music, which is toured across the streets of Tokyo by a kind scientist dude. Watch out for band member cameos (hint: soda machine and escalator).
[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…
[tag]Wolfparade[/tag]’s frontman Dan Boeckner is back in the spotlight with his side project: Handsome Furs, together with fiancée Alexei Perry. The Vancouver couple, now, unveil their latest and second video “Cannot Get Started”, straight from their debut album Plague Lake.

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…
