After promising there would not be a Medicine reunion, Brad Laner has dropped a new Medicine single with the original band members reunited, and an expected LP release via Captured Tracks in August. The first assumption was "April Fools", given Mr. Laner's reticence to consider reuniting the group, but he was first out of the gate to declare, "NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE" via his Tumblr feed, with an updated […]
Uncompromising and unapologetic, Spectres continue to evolve into a listening experience best described as harrowing. By the time you get mid-way through the EP, "I Was In a Box" has already grabbed you by the collar, shaken you violently and demanded your lunch money. Both tuneful and dissonant, Spectres bring both melody and noise, steady rhythm and time changes. At no point in time is it possible to look at […]
The Bandcamp fund set up to help defray medical expenses for Danny Lackey, the recently departed co-founder of the venerable "When the Sun Hits" blog, has an incredible number of standout tracks. With contributions from established veterans and newcomers alike, a number of these tracks have found their way into our rotation, and we've been promoting the charitable effort on air and online. Perhaps the most fitting tribute was penned, […]
Three new Decades tracks in rotation, this is surely one of our favorites. We expect it to get all sorts of crossover love, as it has that kind of appeal. Catchy hooks laid over droning guitar, topped with breathy vox. Catch them on DKFM, with full LP release on April 30th from White Girl Records. Catch up with Toronto's Decades on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/decadesWGR Twitter: http://twitter.com/decadesdecades At their website: http://decadesdecades.com And […]
What do you get when you cross San Francisco's The Bilinda Butchers with a dash of Man Without Country-style driving synthgaze? The new single "The Lovers' Suicide!", that's what! Layer jangly guitars with relentless synth wash, you come up with an intriguing new direction for the Bay Area's indie darlings. Download available from March 5th, vinyl and CD ships by March 15th.
//orangenoise has once again made their album, "//A Journey to the Heart of the Matter" available as a "name your price" download at their Bandcamp site. One of our favorite all-around releases of 2012, these tracks demand your attention by grabbing your eardrums and refusing to let go. That such excellent songwriting and musicianship should come out of Karachi, Pakistan... well that's just an unexpected bonus. Following up 2011's masterful […]
Strange Corners' second full-length, "Strange Pleasures" is expected to be released on May 7th, via Sub Pop, and the band will tour the UK behind the release. No other European or US dates have yet been announced. They've also offered a free download of the LP's first single, "Berlin Lovers", in exchange for your email. Our listeners loved their full-length 2011 debut "Creatures Of An Hour", and this is likely […]
One of our Best of 2012 deserves a blog mention. Shallow's "Sweet Meet" ranked number 34 on our listeners' Top 50, and with good reason. One of those tracks we'd best describe as "beautifully broken", it's just a micro of the macro. There are several great can i order flagyl online tracks from their "Mistakes" EP that were added to rotation shortly after release, and remain there today. If you're […]
We added Airling to rotation in early December, and only now is it starting to garner attention in the blogosphere, largely on the strength of the single "Rucksack" from their debut EP. Our second big "get" from Australia in recent months, this song shows a great deal of promise as to where this band is headed going forward. Check out Airling on Bandcamp.
