STREAM: Chairlift New Album “Something”
One of the more outstanding January releases catching our attention this new year is Chairlift‘s Something. Even its album title, which refuses to define it as a single concept, acknowledges the sophomore effort’s diverse tracks, stretching from funk-inspired pop of witchy sentiments to acoustic bed warmers. As undefinable as the album is, it stands as [...] -
STREAM: The Black Keys 5 Tracks from “El Camino”
Whoa, we’ve been MIA for some time. Apologies — blame that damn bird and the “Congratulations, you won an iPad!” pop-ups that keep clouding my screen (pop-ups, I know *eyeroll*). But maybe these new Black Keys tracks will wake you up on this sleepy Tuesday (I’m about to barf from fatigue). Just plug in your [...] -
STREAM: Crystal Stilts New EP “Radiant Door”
The new Crystal Stilts EP Radiant Door drops tomorrow via Sacred Bones. It’s certainly no In Love with Oblivion but this EP sounds like its deleted scenes counterpart. Stream, stream away and download “Dark Eyes” here. Crystal Stilts – Radiant Door by sacredbones Bookmark on DeliciousDigg this postRecommend on FacebookBuzz it upshare via RedditShare with [...] -
LISTEN: Tennis “Origins”
Cape Dory, the debut LP from married couple/nautically nectarous group Tennis dropped earlier this year with track after track of sweeter than fiction, sailing with no care in the world-type tunes. They announced a follow-up album — Young and Old — which was produced by Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney. Oh, and the album is [...] -
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 [...] -
STREAM: M83 New Album “Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming”
I’ve been trying to avoid the Urban Outfitters website for months cause they keep sending me emails about sales and new fall items and whatnot and I want everything/can’t have it all. (Do you feel me?) But I just went there to listen to the new M83 album Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, which I’ve been [...] -
STREAM: Prince Rama New LP “Trust Now”
The new Prince Rama album dropped this Tuesday, which means you can put it on and mentally warp into a completely different dimension. Let the Larson sisters (they look pretty sexy on the cover btw) seduce you with their ceremonious chants. Totally hypnotized right now. Stream their sophomore LP below and order here. Bookmark on [...] -
LISTEN: Yuck “Soothe Me”
Remember when we announced Yuck’s deluxe edition release of their self-titled debut and introduced a new track called “Cousin Corona”? These guys are so good that one disc just simply isn’t enough. The double disc edition comes out on October 11th and we’ve got another previously unreleased track for you to hear. It’s called “Soothe [...] -
STREAM: The Drums New Album “Portamento”
Two weeks before its official release, the new Drums album Portamento is streaming over at 3VOOR12. We liked the first single “Money” so much that we expected nothing less than amazing from these new wavers on their sophomore effort. So far, it’s heavenly succulence to the ears (despite the not so holy album cover). Enjoy! [...] -
LISTEN: Surfer Blood “Miranda”
Surfer Blood has a new EP called Tarot Classics coming out late October, and “Miranda” is the first taste of it. It took me a while to get into these guys — not until I saw them live back in June — but I’m sold now. This shit is pretty catchy. Like, turn it up [...] -
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” [...] -
LISTEN: Girls “Honey Bunny”
After hearing what was possibly the most heartbreaking song from Girls, the duo follow up with a sunny number called “Honey Bunny.” It’s got surfer swirls, racing drums, and a beachy vibe. But it ain’t a Girls song if it’s not a little self-deprecating as well. D’aww, Chris, I love your bony body and dirty [...] -
LISTEN: Twin Sister “Gene Ciampi”
Turns out Twin Sister‘s new song “Gene Ciampi,” is NOT sung in a foreign language, as I had initially thought. This sounds like it would make really great thrifting music though (is that a thing?). It makes me want to go vintage shopping or something, I don’t know. Whatever Twin Sister makes you want to [...] -
STREAM: Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks New Album “Mirror Traffic”
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of talking to my idol, Stephen Malkmus, about his new album Mirror Traffic (NO, this is not fan fiction hour; I’m totally serious). At the end of that conversation he asked me what my music blog was called, so I told him “The Morning After Pills” and [...] -
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: 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 [...]
