A wild, wordy, and riff-y track from Geronimo! titled “Mr. President.” It comes form the band’s next LP, Cheap Trick, which is dropping on May 13th via Exploding In Sound–you know, the home of my dude’s in Pile. What his song doesn’t have in finesse, it

Recent Constellation Records signees Ought have just dropped the first song to be released from their forthcoming debut LP on the legendary Montreal label. The album is dropping on April 29th, and is titled More Than Any Other Day. Admittedly, I’m a bit of a sucker for wordy rock

The previously mentioned Odonis Odonis drops a new video that features some Terry Gilliam-esque animation from Lee Stringle.

Some dark, fiery R&B from this new, collaborative track from Shlohmo & Jeremih. The vocals on this track are emotive, pained, and featured a splash of reverb a la the Weeknd. While I do see some obvious stylistic similarities, this song really separates itself form that with the

Wolfe and Dude find themselves in the midst of an atmospheric, tortured duet that calls out to the likes of Nick Cave or Michael Gira. If you like your folk with a gothic edge, then hop on this quickly. The song streaming above is a part of a forthcoming 7″

Over the course of running my YouTube channel, I don’t think I’ve reviewed any one band more times than I have Woods. Though I’ve thought their discography has had its ups and downs, it’s been interesting to watch this band’s approach to folk rock go
