This is one doozy of a new song from Son Lux, aka Ryan Lott, off the Original Score & Songs Inspired By The Disappearance Of Eleanor Rigby, for the movie which, if you can’t tell by the title of the album, Son Lux scored. So many commas. This track, “No Fate Awaits Me,” featuring Faux Fix,… Continue reading [MP3] Son Lux: “No Fate Awaits Me” (feat. Faux Fix)

Notable Album Release: Talkdemonic – Ruins
How happy was I when this record popped up in our inbox a little while ago?? Hint: very! Talkdemonic have been one of my favorites since I began my writing-about-indie phase and they’ve always remained on my radar. So, it’s tremendous news that on October 4 the duo out of Portland, Oregon are dropping their… Continue reading Notable Album Release: Talkdemonic – Ruins
clownfacee
Having featured the band Warm Weather the other day, I felt it necessary to balance things out around here. Thankfully, clownfacee’s Winter EP popped into my life and, much to my chagrin, things have stabilized (whew). The Winter EP is a spacey, experimental creation by Mike: the man, the myth, the legend. It takes some… Continue reading clownfacee
[The Past Presents] Post-Rock Revisited, Part 1: Rodan – “Rusty”
The Past Presents revisits revered albums from the past 20-25 years to ask the question, “Is this album still a classic, or has it lost its edge over the years?”. Was it a great record for that particular time and place, or is it something we’ll be passing on to our kids? It also looks… Continue reading [The Past Presents] Post-Rock Revisited, Part 1: Rodan – “Rusty”
Summertime Kids
It’s been a mostly mellow week on Knox Road, and that continues with Summertime Kids, the moniker of Gainesville, Florida’s Nick Roberts. He’s 19 years old and has a whole world ahead of him, but it’s slightly disheartening that he’s making such melancholic songs. His first solo album, Table Manners, was recorded at the latest hours… Continue reading Summertime Kids
[MP3] Nordic Giants: “Shine (feat. Cate Ferris)”
It’s remarkable that more people aren’t talking about this duo out of Brighton, UK. And I don’t just mean bloggers; Nordic Giants have a sound that appeals to much wider audiences. It’s lush, cinematic and gorgeous. Cate Ferris adds the perfect vocal touch on “Shine”, taking the song on a boundless journey with swells and falls. It moves me every… Continue reading [MP3] Nordic Giants: “Shine (feat. Cate Ferris)”
Bullets in Madison’s new b-sides compilation
Just because I’ve been busy going to CMJ shows the past few days doesn’t require me to write about CMJ artists, nor does it allow me to ignore the blog because of CMJ-related activities. Did I mention CMJ? I’ll shut up now. I know it’s the last thing most of you want to hear, and… Continue reading Bullets in Madison’s new b-sides compilation
Slow Six to go east coast tourin’
Slow Six is a NYC-based post-rock outfit that doesn’t rely on crazy climaxes as much as it does on an intricate combination of violins, rhodes piano and guitar. The songs don’t really follow the quiet/loud dynamic so prevalent in the genre, but instead establish a pace (usually pretty quick) and see how all the instruments… Continue reading Slow Six to go east coast tourin’
The American Dollar drops new album, Atlas
Hey guys, remember The American Dollar? They of the effervescent soundscapes and jittery electronica? Of course you do! Well, they’re back with a follow-up to 2008’s A Memory Stream in the form of a new LP, Atlas, released January 1. They pretty much deliver what’s expected of them on Atlas, though the sound is a… Continue reading The American Dollar drops new album, Atlas
