Thanks to the good people at the A.V. Club, we’ve got a pretty great cover of Gary Numan’s “Cars” to munch on. It was performed by Sloan in conjunction with the website’s Undercover series, which invites artists to take a crack at covering various songs from
MP3 Coming from Spencer Krug himself, a Canadian singer-songwriter known for his work in numerous bands I enjoy, a track from his new Moonface project. The solo effort will be seeing a full-length debut on Jagjaguwar on August 8th. “The Way You Wish You Could Live In The Storm,” is
On Black Up, Shabazz Palaces take hip hop deep into the left field with odd beats and surreal effects. It’s definitely an indulgent LP that requires a little bit of effort from the listener, but repeating these songs until they completely unfold is worth the wait. Part of me

On the first track to drop from Bjork’s forthcoming album, Biophilia, the Icelandic singer-songwriter just doesn’t do a lot for me, honestly. I was pretty excited about this track, too. It’s certainly got all the makings of a great Bjork track–some strong vocals and personality, ear-grabbing
