Tegan and Sara release video for “Hell”

I can’t even begin to express how excited I am for tomorrow’s official release of Tegan and Sara’s newest album, Sainthood. Teasers aplenty in the meantime, including this video playing off the “twin thing”. (Note: I am a twin as well. Fraternal, though. And different sexes. So yeah, I guess this doesn’t resonate at all.)… Continue reading Tegan and Sara release video for “Hell”

Knox Road Radio show and playlist for 10.25

We had special guest Sadie on to discuss why she loves Metric (yay) and other similar female fronted groups but not Florence + The Machine (wtf??). This was particularly intriguing for Jon and me, as we love just about everything Florence. Check out the full show (starts 20 seconds in) and playlist below. Knox Road… Continue reading Knox Road Radio show and playlist for 10.25

Zach is back! (Lipkins, of course)

Remember our interview with Zach Lipkins, the musical genius out of the Berklee School of Music in Boston? Well, you didn’t think we’d leave you hanging with just that did you?? No! Zach is back – he sent three brand new songs our way as he readies himself for his next album. Details are a… Continue reading Zach is back! (Lipkins, of course)

Notable Album Release: Field Music – Measure

Field Music, one of my favorite straight-up playful (though that adjective may need to change now) pop bands out there, is set to release an upcoming “double” album, Measure, February 16. I found out about the British brothers several years ago from 3hive and was immediately smitten by their delightful song, “You’re So Pretty”. However,… Continue reading Notable Album Release: Field Music – Measure

[MP3] New LCD Soundsytem: “Bye Bye Bayou”

Well, well, what have we here? LCD Soundsytem’s newest track, “Bye Bye Bayou” recently leaked, so James Murphy has decided to release it free to the masses. On one hand, it’s too bad it leaked, on the other hand, nearly everything leaks, so props to him for giving out the track in high quality format… Continue reading [MP3] New LCD Soundsytem: “Bye Bye Bayou”

Dreamy, spooky pop from Jordan Galland

Jordan Galland‘s music is one-of-a-kind, blending a diverse range of styles into highly listenable pop. Vibrant horns and keys stand out over hints of “pop noir” – you know, the kind that has an underlying eerie chill. But it’s hidden of course, like a well-trained con artist – which in this case is a good… Continue reading Dreamy, spooky pop from Jordan Galland

Stop. Breathe.

As we inundate you with new material, album reviews, concert information and the like, we rarely ever get the chance to show you what’s been hot on our playlists lately. You hear a track during the picks of the week for our radio show but that doesn’t exactly suffice, in my opinion. So I’ll try… Continue reading Stop. Breathe.

[MP3] New Tim Williams: “Murderous Air”

Since Jon’s post about a month ago, Tim Williams has been gaining a reputation as one of the best up-and-coming singer/songwriters the genre has to offer. Way to go Jon for predicting success, and way to go to Tim for the actual success! His music was recently featured on One Tree Hill – just in… Continue reading [MP3] New Tim Williams: “Murderous Air”

Kings of Convenience stay true to form on Declaration of Dependence

I’ll admit it – the Kings of Convenience make me jealous. Everything seems to come so easy to them. Intricate guitar arrangements and dissonant harmonies are like simple math. But it’s not like I get frustrated listening to their music. In fact, it’s rather the opposite; stressful situations call for Kings of Convenience. Warm, delicate… Continue reading Kings of Convenience stay true to form on Declaration of Dependence
