STRAIGHT OUTTA LONDON! After a lengthy hiatus the often raucous lads from London known as Bloc Party are back with their 5th studio album. Their last release was back in 2012 and sitting on the brink of total break up or long time relaxation the band s future was up in the air. After going…
The underlying thread is the idea of Hope. Dev Hynes’ fourth album as Blood Orange came two whole years after the technicolor pop collage of Freetown Sound. Negro Swan is very much a Blood Orange album for our current dystopia, a sharing of the multitude of traumas of the black experience. Gentle funk instrumentation belies the lyrical brutality of album opener “Orlando”,…
Debut album from Japanese New York Hip Hop duo! Miho and Yuka of Cibo Matto splashed onto the scene during one of the last great periods in NY (yeah we are still waiting for something cool to happen again). They were first known as the Japanese chicks with that funny chicken song, but soon had…
Uninterrupted instrumental soundtrack to Benedikt Erlingsson s documentary, The Show of Shows. Two thirds of Iceland s Sigur Ros, bass player Georg Holm and drummer Orri Pall Dyrason, teamed up with Icelandic composer Hilmar Orn Hilmarsson and Sigur Ros touring guitarist, Kjartan Holmalong (who s Georg s brother) to craft Circe. The music is inspired…
Sought-after release from Grimes finally back in print! Originally released in 2011, Darkbloom finds Claire Boucher splitting sides with fellow Montreal artist D eon to explore realms of experimental avant-pop. It would be the release just before Grimes breakout Visions (released the following year in 2012) and you can hear hints of her signature sound forming on tracks like Vanessa and Crystal Ball. Also includes darker tones like Orphia…
Breaker Morant was founded in Austin, TX in 1999, but the instrumental rock group changed their name to Explosions In The Sky before the release of their first album, How Strange, Innocence. Initially issued as an edition of 300 CD-Rs on Sad Loud America, the album was remastered and issued on CD by Temporary Residence in…
Grimes full length debut from 2010 finally reissued! While not as ubiquitous as her breakout sophomore effort Visions, the often underrated Geidi Primes found Claire Boucher stepping out with a dreamy, eccentric sound that would become her signature. Compared to the aforementioned Visions, the production seems less refined and in her own words, more naive, but it just adds to the free…
Warpaint s Jenny Lee goes solo! The bass guitarist and backup vocalist hinted at a solo project via her social media for some time and we are finally treated to what could easily have been the next Warpaint album. For those obsessed with the group (we are), you might remember the funkier numbers on their…
After many years as Dee Dee of “girl-group-gone-bad” turned “plush noir-pop” outfit Dum Dum Girls, Kristin Welchez decides to “shed her skin” for a solo project. As Kristin Kontrol, the New York-based artist also looks to the music that she loved before getting “hellbent on the rock’n’roll’ thing”: ‘80s pop and ‘90s R&B from Tiffany,…
The triumphant return of Ratatat! Magnifique marks the Brooklyn duo s fifth studio album, breaking the five year silence since 2010 s LP4. By this point in their career, Evan Peter Mast & Michael Paul Stroud have got the Ratatat sound down pat. They pretty much formed their signature style on 2006 s Classics, and here…
Riot Grrrl essential remastered and reissued. Sleater Kinney s third album is often viewed as the one that really put them on the map for those in the know and those that wanted to be. Putting feminism at the forefront, the band used their wide spread voice to empower young women (and men). Dig Me…
Debut album from North Ireland teen sensation. Rough Trade scored big with this touching debut from a very young singer songwriter named SOAK. Born in 1997, she started making waves in the local Derry scene with songs of adolescence, family, and isolation at the age of 14 (teenagers, am I right?!). However, these are not…
6th album from synth pop shoegaze mastermind, Teen Daze. Morning World is like nothing you ve heard from TD yet and somehow it is very much TD. While we ve come to love the mostly ambient, often glacial sounding pop of albums past, this is an entirely new step for the British Columbian… a very…
Debut album from Columbia alumni royalty. Though nothing like The Stokes musically, the band did seem to appear out of nowhere and made a MAJOR impact on the indie world like a bat out of hell. Forming in New York s Columbia University, lead singer Ezra had a stint with Dirty Projectors and a huge…
Critically acclaimed, listener approved, another beautiful album from Yo La Tengo. Ranked as of the best of albums of the 1990s by Pitchfork, Spin, and Paste Magazine there is no denying the impact I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One made on the masses. Introducing a more mature sound with further exploration of what…
