    Attached to the grainy, 29-minute video embedded above, you’ll find an audio track that features the new Deerhoof album in its entirety. The title, Breakup Song, which, when I first heard of the title, I thought it was the band’s swan song or something. Thankfully, it’s not.

    California’s WHY? comes strong on this new track from the indie pop/hip hop hybrid’s forthcoming album, Mumps, etc. The song starts off with a really cool, breezy choir, and gives way to some precious piano chords, too. Once the beat kicks, the mood changed instantly, shifting into

    The Kaleidoscope by Lemolo Some chilly, emotive, soft piano tunes from Lemolo on this new album, the Kaleidoscope. There are some pretty moving points on this LP–especially the patient opener, “Knives.” Things do pick up with tracks like “Move Me,” which features a pretty tight rhythm, but there’s

  • Improving on the project’s debut in 2010, Gemini, Jack Tatum’s Wild Nothing presents a group of dreamy, well-written, and catchy songs on its sophomore release. WATCH THE REVIEW

  • Is it strange that Bob Mould’s voice makes me think of Jeff Bridges? Probably. Anyway, this new video from the influential American indie artist brings on a riff that is pretty energetic, although, it sounds nearly identical to pretty much any Foo Fighters song. It works just fine either

  • Following last year’s On the Water LP, Baltimore synth pop band Future Islands has a new single on the way. “Tomorrow,” the A-side from the single, is available to stream via the SoundCloud widget above. In a way, Future Islands is the antithesis to their contemporaries; with the indiesphere

    Stream: Ginnels- Crowns Stream an entire album of fun, light-hearted, and endearing jangle pop rock from Ireland’s Ginnels. It all comes from the band’s latest album, Crowns, which is twenty freakin’ tracks long; however, the band defends their decision with a lot of variety among the tracks. There

  • Remember that track I posted almost a week ago about the newest track dropped by the recently reformed Conor Oberst-fronted Desaparecidos? Yeah, the “Marikkopa” single, that’s the one. Well, here is the b-side streaming above, “Backsell.” It’s a heavy, hard-hitting jab at the music industry, featuring what seem

    Wild Nothing drops yet another track from it’s forthcoming album, which will drop via Captured Tracks on August 28th. The title: Nocturne. If the last track Wild Nothing dropped signified a crush on the 80s, “Paradise” is pure infatuation. The drum beat and synth sound a lot like something
