OVERPACKED. We've got so much new, and a limited time to shine (even though it's all weekend). Our largest haul of quality new music in recent memory, and we'll spool out the sparkle. Headliners: Nothing. The album we'd previewed here is everything that our reviewer said it was, and more. But there's so much more than just Nothing, and we've got it all batched and sorted. New albums from Holy […]
New music we knew would be released today: Drab Majesty, ever creative, ever epic, always engaging. And Modern Mirror does not disappoint. Burning House: we knew that Anthropocene would drop today, and Burning House has developed a catalogue that's always at least compelling, demanding your attention and assessment. We even knew Seattle's somesurprises would launch preorder for the forthcoming self-titled debut LP, and that the first single would be a […]
What an amazing week for new releases. Two albums of special note: Shady Bug's Lemon Lime (Shady Bug pictured above). Occupying a sweet spot between Jay Som's literate warmth and Sonic Youth's structural complexity, it's a compelling listen from end to end, with not a clunker in the bunch. In a first quarter of notable albums, this effort is surely in the top five releases thus far this year. The […]
Fresh weekend, fresh mix, fresh tune age. New music from everywhere. New double-single from Crystal Canyon (pictured) is worth cheering. New singles from Lebend, Expelled From Space, a charming Moscow Olympics remix (tip of the cap, hale and farewell to Beko Disques, who've announced they're folding their tent after many years of bedroom pop excellence). Plus we're deep into the new releases from Tape Deck Mountain, Yuragi, Spirettes, Teenage Wrist, Movie […]
New Tracks Weekend this weekend features world premieres and the freshest new releases. Fresh premieres include new singles from Never Come Downs and Blacanova (pictured above, photo courtesy Amaya Granell), both demand your undivided attention. New music releases include today's full album from Blush (we tipped you off early on this one, and we think it's going to be big), plus new music from Sinking, Bolywool, Castlebeat, Portrayal, Fever Blush, […]
There is no letup. Impressive new music is coming fast and furious. As the weather turns warm, so do the tones. The new Pia Fraus single/EP is near release via Seksound label, with contributions from scene luminaries like Airiel and Mahogany, and it's worth the wait. Following two electric performances on American network television, Tennis System dropped their new single early this morning, and it has all the volcanic energy you've […]
Ready for the weekend? We sure are. We're spewing new sound at you, all weekend. Cigarettes After Sex, Terry vs. Tori, Endless White, Melt, Vagina Lips, Alpha Male, Vikings in Tibet, Time Enough At Last, Candy, Dryer (pictured above), Hope Sandoval and The Warm Inventions, Lunar Quiet, Mirror Days, San Mei, Andrew Younker, Parading, and Splashh. PLUS we go deep with the albums from True Cross, Sin Kitty, and Floating […]
