    MP3 Solo artists Thao–of Get Down Stay Down fame–and Mirah released a nice little record on Kill Rock Stars this week. It’s filled with co-written songs built on strummed guitars and breezy vocals. The two of ’em actually brought on tUnE-yArDs to co-produce some of the material

    MP3 This is some heavy doom right here, and the only thing better than heavy doom is free heavy doom. (Edit: Yeah, it could be “Sludge,” too.) Lento hails from Italy, and tends to keep their tracks completely free of vocals; allowing their deep, resonant guitar tone to rattle skulls

  • My _____ is pink. by colourmusic Colourmusic‘s sophomore LP, My __ Is Pink, is set for a May 17th release via Memphis Industries. The single off this vibrant and sexy concept album is “Tog,” which is very reminiscent of Flaming Lips. Here, Colourmusic successfully creates layers of sounds, like Pollock’s
