I know what you read that as and no, this is not a Craig Wedren Remixes TV On The Radio post. The Dead Science are a Seattle-based avant rock trio, set to put out an LP based strictly on obscure comic book and Wu-Tang Clan references, which is a thing avant […]

It’s been a year and a half since Dan Rossen and his longtime songwriting partner Fred Nicolaus dropped us a demo of “No One Does It Like You” as a tease to the duo’s first Department Of Eagles album since their years-old debut Whitey And The Moon UK. It wasn’t that […]

At their triumphant Lollapalooza headlining set, Wilco debuted new suits and a new tune, “One Wing.” Now comes word that a follow-up to the wonderful Sky Blue Sky should be out by spring. Jeff Tweedy offered this progress report to Albany radio station WAMC. Via Billboard:
Tweedy says he expects […]

CMJ ‘08 is on the horizon, which means it’s been about two years since we first encountered Swedish chanteuse and Stereogum Presents… alum Frida Hyvönen. On first blush, the relatively spare but well voiced chords (and melodies) hinted at Joni. But now it’s time for a new record, and from the sound of […]

Here’s a great post:
Since taking prime time television with that ubiquitously whistled Asian Riff, PB&J have found plenty of ways to stay busy, teaming up with cool-questing Kanye in Sweden, Peter offering a turn as downcast troubadour, and so many et ceteras. It’s been awhile since Writer’s Block, though, and the band knows this. So […]

This is interesting:
Cardiff pop troupe Los Campesinos! are still card-carrying members of the International Tweexcore Underground, but that doesn’t mean they can’t up the distortion. They’re just making like Some Velvet Sidewalk or Crayon, who as part of LC!’s beloved early/mid ’90s International Pop Underground (see Beat Happening, Heavenly), mixed twee sugar with distorted rock.

Here’s a great post:
The young Nashville-via-Brooklyn-via-Chicago-via-Michigan man has returned with a second album. David Vandervelde’s debut landed him on our list of ones to watch, squarely on the back of the Bolan/Bowie revivalism of “Nothin’ No.” This time out it sounds like he’s still enamored with the ’70s, and again he’s worked with ex-Wilco bro […]

This is an interesting post:
“March Movement” is a fair name for the first one from Talkdemonic’s third LP. It’s an instrumental (save a few vocal moans), maintaining its melodic core, trading programmed beats here for acoustic beats there. There’s a gait flip, marching then loping, while Kevin O’Connor plucks banjos underneath his beats and Lisa […]

Montreal quintet the Stills are poised to release their third album Oceans Will Rise (via Arts & Crafts) next week and then head out on an American tour with “Sex On Fire” scribes Kings Of Leon this fall. In this week’s ‘Gum Drop we debuted triumphant Oceans standout “Eastern Europe” and […]

Frank wrote to us about:
With Marnie Stern you know what you’re going to get before you listen, but that doesn’t make it any less thrilling. Her sophomore album’s very reminiscent of her first, last year’s In Advance of the Broken Arm, but at the same time, the formula feels more soulful, less tech-y. Outside of […]
