Some new visuals for the new Black Moth Super Rainbow single, “Windshield Smasher.” This is definitely one of the more entertaining videos I’ve seen this year, and that’s mostly due to its absurdity. A unsuspecting couple runs up on a group of BMSR mask-wearing baddies who torture them

New York experimental folk rock outfit Woods have a new LP on the way titled Bend Beyond. It’ll be the band’s seventh full-length album, and “Size Meets the Sound” is the newest track to drop from it. I may be wrong, but I believe I’ve reviewed no

BALCONY by Balcony Check out this self-titled album from Montreal’s Balcony. It’s some wonderfully strange and creative acoustic music.

Deerhoof drops a track from its forthcoming album on Polyvinyl records. The LP’s title: Breakup Song. And this track is kinda wowing me. It’s not my favorite Deerhoof track, but the band has really taken a different direction here. With some horns, piano, and a Latin rhythm section,

Mount Eerie’s last album, Clear Moon, definitely took drone and repetition to the forefront for the longtime musical project of singer-songwriter Phil Elverum. Phil is now gearing up to release his second album of 2012, Ocean Roar, and “Pale Lights” is the first song to drop from it. The
