With a bassline that reminds me of the Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams,” the New York shoegaze/post-punk/noise rock band A Place To Bury Strangers has dropped a track from its forthcoming EP, Onwards to the Wall. Look for this to get a Feb. 7th release via Dead Oceans. Now, I

Last month I blogged about a forthcoming album from the Devil’s Blood, the Thousandfold Epicentre. I noted that these guys have a pretty dark and occult style, and it would be difficult to wait for their new album to drop in 2012. I mean, that’s, like, next year!

ARCTIC DEATH by Arctic Death I caught this album getting mentioned in a thread on the Needle Drop forum, and I had to check it out. As it turns out, this thing is a nice, tight little indie rock record. I’m catching whiffs of the Walkmen here and there,

Seems electronic music producer Nicolas Jaar is following up one of my favorite albums of this year with a new EP titled Don’t Break My Love. As to be expected, Jaar takes his time building and developing these songs. The quiet, understated beginnings always bring out some tension in

MP3 On her debut EP, singer-songwriter and experimentalist Izes brings an eerie atmosphere; plus, she backs it up with elements of improvisational drums and trumpet on the track streaming above, “No Future.” The song builds really evenly, and grows into its eventual chaos in a kinda beautiful way.

Transmission Zero by Ghoul Out now on Tankcrimes, here is the latest album from Oakland band Ghoul: Transmission Zero. I know Halloween has come and gone, but these guys make me wish it came more than once a year. Though this group’s influences are tried and true, they bring
