    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

    One of the most charming singer-songwriters on the Secretly Canadian roster, Jens Lekman, has a new album on the way in September titled I Know What Love Isn’t. It’s looking at a September 4th release date. “Erica America” is an endearing little tune, loaded with delicate strings and

For years, the band has

    TNGHT drops a new video for the track “Bugg’n,” which features a myriad of visuals. There’s nightmarish depictions of a child’s room and toys; loads of live footage of the duo performing; there are some dark city streets as well. Heck, you can even see a dude

    Dark Shores by Strand of Oaks A charming little indie folk and rock hybrid coming off this new Dark Shores album. Stream it via the widget above, or grab a CD copy on Bandcamp.

    John Cale drops a new track from this forthcoming album on Double Six, Shifty Adventures In Nookie Wood. I’m really liking the vintage rock ‘n’ roll feel on this thing. Really dramatic vocal delivery, and it’s just pure gold when the beat and bass make that initial hit

  • Simon Joyner, one of the darker singer-songwriters to come out of the 90s, has a new album on the way this August titled Ghosts. “Vertigo” is the first track to drop from it, and it’s quite good. Simon is really pushing the instrumentation on this one–especially with the
