Georgia’s I Come To Shanghi has followed its self-titled, 2009 debut with a mini-LP that I hope sees a sequel soon: Eternal Life Vol. 1. It’s a jittery synth rock release, built of several tracks that feature seamless and psychedelic transitions. Seeing where the duo takes things next
A music video from Connecticut’s own the Guru. This track is a great show of the kinda sunny and eccentric indie rock you’ll be in or with a visit of the band’s latest LP, Native Sun. Stream the whole thing via Bandcamp. Buy it for three bones
The Drums finally drop a track from that new album the band teased us about just a little while ago. The band hasn’t exactly renovated their sound, but it does seem refined. The instrumentation is tighter, and the vocals–while they do hit a nice falsetto–feel much more

MP3 Under the collaborative name “DoomStarks,” (MF) DOOM and Ghostface Killah should be dropping a new album later this year. It’s just one more reason that 2011 is proving to be a stellar year for hip hop. Seems I’m freaking out over rap albums left and right these
If you watch my reviews on the reg, you know how I feel about Cults. So, imagine my hesitation when I saw that my new favorite beatmeister remixed one of their songs. Well, truth be told, 1-Minute Miracles performed like a plastic surgeon of the sonic persuasion on this one,
