Dear Science
“Dear Science, You are difficult. I hate you.” …Ok so maybe I never actually wrote this letter to Science (though I should), but I am fairly positive that the high level of emotion on display above is similar to that of TV on The Radio‘s on their latest album, Dear Science, released in September. TVOTR… Continue reading Dear Science

Phantom Planet is Finished

Phantom Planet – “Anthem” (MP3) Phantom Planet –… Continue reading Phantom Planet is Finished
Jonquil
Hailing from Oxford, UK, Jonquil mixes experimental pop with folk to create a different sound on each song. “Lions”, one of the songs on their recently released (November 18) Whistle Low EP, sounds eerily similar to Shearwater (a band many of you might be more familiar with) yet “Whistle Low”, the title track off the… Continue reading Jonquil
