COVER: Holy Ghost! does Ministry “I Wanted to Tell Her”
As I’m a big fan of Ministry and not as big of a fan of the new Holy Ghost! album, I listened to this cover of “I Wanted to Tell Her” with a ready-to-cringe curiosity. It actually stays true to original form (listen to Ministry’s version here) and features fellow DFA staples Nancy Whang and [...] -
MP3: Crystal Stilts “Dark Eyes”
Crystal Stilts’ latest release In Love with Oblivion is still one of our favorite releases of the year for their expertise in mixing gloom with what sounds like a post-punk speakeasy. They are releasing a new EP titled Radiant Door on November 15th and “Dark Eyes” is its first taste — a surprisingly less gloomy [...] -
MP3: The Cranberries “Show Me the Way”
I can confidently say that The Cranberries were the first band I ever liked, even when I was too young to even have a musical preference. My dad and I used to play Everybody Else Is Doing It So Why Can’t We? in the car, driving around with the windows down, blasting it to the [...] -
COVER: Lykke Li does The Righteous Brothers “Unchained Melody”
Righteous Brothers classic “Unchained Melody” is a special track for me cause that was my birth song (#1 on Billboard Charts the day I was born). Swedish sweetie Lykke Li recently dropped by Triple-J radio down under and delivered a soulful cover of the song. Below you can download the live take, but just imagine [...] -
MP3: The Soft Moon “Total Decay”
Every year when fall comes around, I get in the mood to listen to some doom and gloom shit — the kind of music that creeps up on you like the unexpected chill that catches you off guard after a season of sweat and sun. The Soft Moon is looking to be that fall fright [...] -
MP3: Toro Y Moi “All Alone”
“All Alone,” a new track from Toro Y Moi‘s forthcoming EP Freaking Out, is a busy tune that keeps the ears attentive of all the little synthy details. Complementing the track is a smooth cover of “Saturday Love” which can also be found on the EP. It’s gonna be a chilly fall! Submit your email [...] -
MP3 + VIDEO: Revel Hotel “Evolutionary Men”
We may know Revel Hotel from seeing some of its members play in a couple of our coldwave faves, but this band is a breed of its own — heavier, more underground club-appropriate. Their new album, The Station, will be released on September 27th as CD and digital download via bandcamp. Snag a free mp3 [...] -
MP3: Dum Dum Girls “Bedroom Eyes”
Download the new Dum Dum Girls single “Bedroom Eyes,” which will be on their September 27th-due sophomore album Only In Dreams. Like its title, the album promises to be full of dreamy tracks. This one reminds us of old movies in which the girl hopelessly waits by her phone waiting for that one special guy [...] -
MP3: Oberhofer “Gotta Go”
The last time I saw Oberhofer was April, which was almost exactly a year since the time I saw them before that. Within a year, [Brad] Oberhofer has become so much more confident on stage, honing a sonic vibrancy that only so few artists are gifted with. Needless to say, I was blown away. Despite [...] -
MP3: Atlas Sound “Terra Incognita”
Atlas Sound aka the brainchild of Deerhunter’s Bradford Cox is returning with a new album Parallax on November 8th. About time! I’ve listened the shit out of Logos since its release. Download the first single, “Terra Incognita,” which is pretty and all but nearly rendering me unconscious (asleep). Perfect lullaby music: MP3: Atlas Sound “Terra Incognita” [...] -
FREE DOWNLOAD: The Magic of Multiples EP “Fuck a May Flower”
Fuck a May Flower is the new digital 7″ from Shiv Hurrah‘s Alex Drum. A few months ago, he sent us this lovely collection and managed to render us into a pleasant dream state. This time, he paired with Sean McCausland (a fellow Shiv) for the new 7″ and now we’re just sitting here listening [...] -
MP3: Cymbals Eat Guitars “Definite Darkness” and “Rifle Eyesight (Proper Name)”
Cymbals Eat Guitars‘ sophomore album Lenses Alien is out August 30th with two free tracks up for grabs. First single “Rifle Eyesight” is an epic eight minuter and yeah, we know, it was released like a month ago but hey, now you can enjoy both singles together (wink). These guys are going on tour soon [...] -
MP3: Male Bonding “Tame the Sun”
“Tame the Sun” is a short and sweet cut from Male Bonding‘s forthcoming sophomore album, Endless Now. The trio released their epic first single “Bones” back in June, which you should download NOW if you haven’t already yet (c’mon now). Judging from these two songs, Male Bonding have significantly refined their sound, toning down on [...] -
MP3: Best Coast “How They Want Me To Be”
Shortly following a music video release for “Our Deal,” Best Coast shared a new track to keep the fans happy, though a sophomore album isn’t really ‘in the works’ or anything. It’s called “How They Want Me To Be,” which sounds like Bethany’s FU to the industry(?)/ haters(?)/ friends(?)/ even her own mother(?)/ everyone(?) but [...] -
VIDEO: Honeydrum “Night Runner”
Honeydrum still stands as our favorite bandcamp discovery of late, what with their mysterious aura and affinity for that lo-fi reverby sound. We don’t know much about them (part of the intrigue?) but they do keep putting out consistently good albums, which we jump at the chance to download as soon as they’re released. Today, [...] -
MP3: Neon Indian “Fallout”
Neon Indian aka Alan Palomo is releasing his sophomore album Era Extraña in the fall as a follow-up to 2009′s much-buzzed debut Psychic Chasms. Once the new album drops, Palomo will be keeping the chillwavin’ going long past the summertime. Hear the first single “Fallout,” which covers that transitioning area between dream and waking state. [...] -
MP3: Prince Rama “Rest In Peace” + Karaoke Video Series
During your rite of passage into the afterlife, make sure to request the new Prince Rama song “Rest In Peace” to be playing in the background. In their usual style, sisters Taraka and Nimai Larson give us something otherworldly to ponder upon. Adorn yourself with some ancient jewelry, hit play, close your eyes, and sway [...] -
FREE DOWNLOAD: Phantom Power “I Am David Jackson”
After parading as “some skinny white boy in New York” and his musical moniker Phantom Power, it has recently been revealed that this chillwave band was actually a solo project of this dude from some British prog rock band. Arrrggggh David Jackson! He had us fooled, that bastard. Siiiiiiiiiike. Phantom Power is still Eric Littmann, [...] -
MP3: Twin Sister “Peach” (Instrumental Demo) + FREE SHOW TONIGHT
Here’s a little gift from Twin Sister today: an instrumental demo of a new song titled “Peaches,” which I’m sure will turn out amazing once it’s flourished with singer Andrea Estella’s singing. Oh, and then there’s this: the band is playing a FREE SHOW at McCarren Park tonight. Yes, free. Yes, tonight. They go on [...] -
MP3: St. Vincent “Surgeon”
The new St. Vincent song “Surgeon” is a sleepy, end of summer tune that’s pretty in all the right spots, complete with a climaxing instrumental ending. Her allusions to surgery sound an awful lot like sex, right from the first line: “I spent this summer on my back.” Hmm, curious. Perhaps genius. St. Vincent’s new [...]
