We’ve been gearing up for quite some time with this record haven’t we? After the spooky “Mujina/Locked In The Basement” track and a video teaser of “Vinterbarn”, Fredrik gave us plenty of material in steady anticipation of their second full-length, Trilogi. Hot on the heels of their stellar, and at times frighteningly addictive debut, Na… Continue reading Fredrik leaves us gasping for air -in the good way- on Trilogi

Beach House’s Teen Dream encapsulates listeners with its delicate reveries
[Ed. Note: Remember Lin from KR Goes Global? Well she’s still looking for great non-Western bands to blog about for us, but in the meantime we couldn’t resist having her review the much-anticipated and highly publicized Beach House release. So, this review is not written by Lee as the byline up top says, but rather… Continue reading Beach House’s Teen Dream encapsulates listeners with its delicate reveries

Dun dun dun. Exit Clov sent us over two tracks from their new CD, Memento Mori, for your free consumption. But here’s the deal: I put in a special code so that you can’t download them unless you purchase tickets to go to one of their two concerts this weekend in DC (or the free… Continue reading Exit Clov make two tracks available from Memento Mori; physical release this weekend in DC!
[MP3] Balmorhea: “Bowsprit”
Wow, Balmorhea are making moves fast. I’ve certainly professed my love for them several times, including these couple posts, and they’ve just made available the first teaser off their new album, Constellations, for free download. The track is called “Bowsprit”, and oh my is it something else. It starts off ever so minimally, with blank… Continue reading [MP3] Balmorhea: “Bowsprit”
[MP3s] Golden Ages: “Everything Will Be Alright” + “Be Cool”
Perfect time for these Philadelphia fellas to come back into the mix as their genre of spaced-out psychedelic electronic pop is making its biggest run, well, ever. I’m not one who has been liking too much of that material (disclaimer: I do like some, and Jamie likes A LOT), but these Golden Ages guys strike… Continue reading [MP3s] Golden Ages: “Everything Will Be Alright” + “Be Cool”

New Obsession: Milly Beau – Party Glitter
Hey guys, remember Milly Beau? No?? Well let me remind you from a previous post… Milly Beau is fronted by the incredibly talented MaryBeth Doran, just a year removed from George Washington University in D.C. (loving this D.C. NYC connection.) Her voice is stunningly gorgeous; I can’t describe it any other way (I’m telling you,… Continue reading New Obsession: Milly Beau – Party Glitter
[MP3] Shearwater: “Black Eyes”
Another new Shearwater track from the upcoming full length The Golden Archipelago surfaced today, again courtesy of Matablog (Matador Records’ own blog). We featured “Castaways” when it was made available to the public, which showed tremendous promise for the new record with its lush instrumentation as a teaser. This time though, “Black Eyes” fully immerses… Continue reading [MP3] Shearwater: “Black Eyes”
Spoon hits a crossroads with Transference
A change of pace. What does that really mean? A transitional period? Re-exploration? Achieving new goals? Possibly. Sometimes we’re so numb from what we’re used to we aim to expand what we know. Our minds are set to want more, whether we deem our lives a success or otherwise. As we age, we look for… Continue reading Spoon hits a crossroads with Transference
Notable Album Release: Tunng – And Then We Saw Land
You’re probably already familiar with Tunng, but how many of you actually knew they were coming out with a new album in March? I didn’t; I won’t lie. But their newest track, “Don’t Look Down Or Back”, which I stumbled upon as a free download on last.fm, immediately perked my interest. It’s one of Tunng’s… Continue reading Notable Album Release: Tunng – And Then We Saw Land
