One of my favorite new artists (as you well know), Milly Beau, recently took to the Gibson Guitar Showcase in NYC to perform stripped down versions of several old and new songs, along with a cover of The Flaming Lips’s “Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots”. Below you’ll find a video of the cover, as Doran’s… Continue reading [Video + MP3] Milly Beau covers The Flaming Lips

Knox Road Radio show and playlist for 4.11.10
Jamie was back after a two week absence and we were finally able to discuss MGMT’s “Flash Delirium” in a positive light. Look for his album review on Congratulations this week, you may be pleasantly surprised. Other notables from this show included a song (well, artist – Camera Obscura) request from Matt from the popular… Continue reading Knox Road Radio show and playlist for 4.11.10
[MP3] The Radio Dept.: “Never Follow Suit”
The Radio Dept. finally made their much-ballyhooed second single (it’s been floating around the interwebs for quite some time now), “Never Follow Suit”, available for free download. You know my mantra here on Knox Road: Gimme Swedish Rock! These guys are yet another epitome of Sweden’s brilliantly constructed, chilled-out dream pop, and nowhere is that more… Continue reading [MP3] The Radio Dept.: “Never Follow Suit”
matt pond PA announces new tour dates with Wintersleep
Hot on the heels of my review of their forthcoming album, The Dark Leaves, matt pond PA has announced a new set of tour dates in June with Wintersleep. Should be a whole bunch of accessible indie goodness with head bops and a teensy bit of melancholy. See the full set of tour dates below.… Continue reading matt pond PA announces new tour dates with Wintersleep
Julian Bachlow
Julian Bachlow is a multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter who comes from Schomberg, Ontario and specializes in electronica influenced indie pop. When I say multi-instrumentalist, I’m not exaggerating: On Bachlow’s debut EP, Paradigm, he sings and plays keys, guitar, bass and drums. Bachlow’s going way old school with this independent artist thing – he’s literally walked around college… Continue reading Julian Bachlow
Harlem’s Hippies is instantly classic bubblegum garage rock
Harlem’s sound isn’t anything new. We’ve heard such similar material recently from the likes of Black Lips, The King Khan and BBQ Show and Smith Westerns (to name a few). But there’s still something great about Harlem that makes them stand out like they’ve been here for years. They have a certain playful charm on… Continue reading Harlem’s Hippies is instantly classic bubblegum garage rock
matt pond PA’s The Dark Leaves is brooding, but it isn’t dark
matt pond PA have a well-established formula for making accessible indie pop, usually in chamber form with violin and cello accompanying acoustic guitar. Pond’s been making music with the PA crew since 1998, and despite various lineup changes, their sound has been fairly consistent — some albums teeter on the lush side of orchestral instrumentation… Continue reading matt pond PA’s The Dark Leaves is brooding, but it isn’t dark
[MP3] Band of Horses: “Compliments”
New music from Band of Horses! It’s the first single off the upcoming Infinite Arms…and it has random nature visuals (?) to accompany it. Also, thoughts about the new song? I’m not really a fan. It sounds over-produced and not the slightest bit unique. Is it just me? Feel free to disagree. It has a… Continue reading [MP3] Band of Horses: “Compliments”
Lali Puna’s new album, Our Inventions, released today
Lali Puna has released the much-anticipated Our Inventions, their first new material in over five years. The album is significantly less layered than previous material, but still contains the glitchy stuff Lali Puna has become known for. Pick it up from Morr Music, and check out the video for “That Day”, full of animated smiling bears,… Continue reading Lali Puna’s new album, Our Inventions, released today
Notable Album Release: Ed Harcourt – Lustre
Ed Harcourt is finally back, ladies and gentleman. He’s set to return with his fifth studio full-length, Lustre, on June 15 via Nice Music Group/Piano Wolf Recordings. His last LP, The Beautiful Lie, was recorded over four years ago, but wasn’t released in the U.S. until 2008, so it’s nice to here Lustre will be… Continue reading Notable Album Release: Ed Harcourt – Lustre
