The mysterious, under-two-minute song “Go Outside” by the equally mysterious and brief Cults now has a not-so-mysterious video! Phew! Some light is finally shed! For one, we know that whoever filmed the Cults video lives near an ocean with rocky shores and caves (narrowing it down!). We ALSO know that whoever filmed the video has… Continue reading Cults unveil the mystery in cute video for “Go Outside”

[MP3] Delorean: “Stay Close”
God FINALLY. I’ve been waiting to hear more Delorean since they blew me away with last year’s Ayrton Senna EP. The Spanish band will release their latest full-length, Subiza, on April 20 (digital) and June 8 (physical) on True Panther Sounds, but the album’s first single, “Stay Close” is out today thanks to the good… Continue reading [MP3] Delorean: “Stay Close”
Dominique Young Unique
Tampa rapper Dominique Young Unique has been kicking around the scene for about a year or so now, and she’s received a lot positive attention which probably helped her get her own mashup on The Hood Internet. But with her most recent and best single “Show My Ass,” she has shown that she’s mature enough… Continue reading Dominique Young Unique
She & Him make a cheery, solid sophomore album with Volume Two
When She & Him was first announced, the duo of singer-songwriter M. Ward and actress Zooey Deschanel faced almost immediately positive buzz. The adorably indie actress and the well-respected indie musician seemed an exciting and almost unbeatable team. But their debut release, Volume One, failed to meet expectations and, with the exception of the single… Continue reading She & Him make a cheery, solid sophomore album with Volume Two
[MP3] Sarah Kirkland Snider: “This Is What You’re Like (ft. My Brightest Diamond)”
Composer Sarah Kirkland Snider teamed up with Shara Worden (aka My Brightest Diamond) for “This Is What You’re Like,” a track from Snider’s upcoming album Penelope. Now I’m not 100 percent clear on this, so I think a block quote from the press release will suffice: Derived from a multimedia-theater piece co-created by Snider and… Continue reading [MP3] Sarah Kirkland Snider: “This Is What You’re Like (ft. My Brightest Diamond)”
[MP3] Family of the Year: “Chugjug”
California-based sextet Family of the Year has friends in high places, including the likes of Ben Folds, The Boston Pops and indie act extraordinaire Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. And it’s not hard to see why. Family of the Year is a band bursting with folk talent that’s more than evident on their latest… Continue reading [MP3] Family of the Year: “Chugjug”
[MP3] Harlem: “Gay Human Bones”
It’s appropriate that Austin boys Harlem should release another new single the week before SXSW. The song is “Gay Human Bones” (I just won’t ask, I guess) and it’s the second single from their upcoming full-length, Hippies. Like their previous single, “Friendly Ghost,” “Gay Human Bones” isn’t quite living up to my expectations after their… Continue reading [MP3] Harlem: “Gay Human Bones”
[MP3] Dr. Dog: “Stranger”
Dr. Dog has officially released the first single off their upcoming album, Shame, Shame and anyone could have guessed that it’s great! I mean it’s not like the best song they’ve ever done or anything, but it’s definitely good! I enjoy it! It’s got all that wonderful build up and folk-influenced group-think rock that Dr.… Continue reading [MP3] Dr. Dog: “Stranger”
[MP3] Pure Ecstasy: “Voices”
Pure Ecstasy previously chilled us out with “Easy” the wonderful track from the band’s 7″ with the same name. Now the band is sharing “Voices” from the also appropriately-named Voices 7″. While it’s not an instant hook like “Easy,” it shows that the band is CLEARLY ready to just up and release a full-length already.… Continue reading [MP3] Pure Ecstasy: “Voices”
White Hinterland’s Kairos is soothing tranquility with soul power
When Casey Dienel and Shawn Creeden picked the name White Hinterland, maybe they had their reasons, maybe it just sounded cool but it’s definitely appropriate. A hinterland is often an area of rural land separated from urban areas that is often also tied very closely to the city. In other words, a place of solitude… Continue reading White Hinterland’s Kairos is soothing tranquility with soul power
