Landlocked State by Teenage Cool Kids Hailing from Denton, Texas, Teenage Cool Kids are a band that have a lot of fun things going for them: rough presentation, catchy melodies, slacker attitude, amusing lyrics. Of course, this is no surprise since one of the band’s members is Fergus &

Wild Flag’s self-titled debut album is a light, fun, and upbeat reformation for these indie rock veterans. I think some longtime fans–especially those in the Sleater-Kinney camp–will expect a little bit more. That’s fine and understandable. I feel the same way to an extent. However, after

With an almost unmeasurable poetic bitterness, Andrew Jackson Jihad are as sharp as ever on their new album, Knife Man. As usual, the music here is about the lyrics. The chord progressions are familiar copies of folk songs and punk tunes. Hell, some of the songs even sound similar to

So, this video is my odd introduction to the female singer-songwriter duo Tasseomancy, which was formerly known as Ghost Bees. The two members of this project are sisters Romy and Sari Lightman. They’re twins, actually. The duo’s latest album, Ulalume, will the the first to be released since

Last year, just like many on the blogosphere, I was pretty impressed with the tracks Twin Sister was putting out on the net via the EP Color Your Life. When the band’s buzz became too big to ignore, Domino Recs signed ’em, and now we’ve got a full-length

Alaska’s Portugal. The Man made its Atlantic Records debut with this new album, In the Mountain In the Cloud. And because I didn’t really like the band’s past two albums, I’m surprised to see the music moving in a direction I like a lot more this

Admittedly, I wasn’t a huge fan of Maps & Atlases latest album Perch Patchwork. Maybe the band’s sweet and friendly approach to the intricacies of math rock wasn’t sitting well with me at the time I listened to this album. It certainly doesn’t sound that bad

A new video from Paleo, which is the pseudonym of singer-songwriter David Strackany. The guy’s latest album Fruit of the Spirit, and this music is definitely going to sit well with fans of oddball personalities. Paleo carries the innocence of Daniel Johnston, but can turn around and play the
