Listen Before You Buy

Listen to the whole of “Here It Is”, the new EP from Pinemarten.

TweetShare This post is a “QuickPick”. QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that’s sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it’s so awesome!), out into the dubya dots, picked quickly. Less for you to read, more for you to hear. Artist: [...]

TweetShare As we leave Summer and make our way into Autumn we have a bumper couple of months lined up, not just with some amazing albums in the pipeline but also some great shows too. September especially has some huge albums coming out, with St. Vincent, CANT, Laura Marling, Wild Flag, Clap Your Hands Say [...]

TweetShare Having signed to Sub Pop, Memoryhouse are getting ready to re-issue their EP “The Years” in September and as an incentive to buy it it’ll include two new songs. The first of which, “Quiet America” can be downloaded for free below with accompanying video edited by unofficial third member Jamie Harley. It’s everything you’ve come to [...]

TweetShare Philadelphia-based duo Work Drugs musical premise is meant to emphasize the smoother things in life: “dancing, boating, yachting, sexting, and living.” Their latest release shows a funkier take on these interests while maintaining the low-maintenance level of a vacation romance. Between their lyrical play and the pop-friendly synth/guitar hooks, this track would make a [...]

TweetShare It’s chilly. It’s wavey. It’s the first full new song from the forebearers of the made-up genre that is Chillwave. Coming from the follow-up to the wildly successful 2009 debut “Psychic Chasms”, Neon Indian‘s second album titled “Era Extraña” is coming out on September 13th (looks like that’s gonna be a good day for [...]

TweetShare Washed Out‘s new album has been receiving praise almost across the board, including from us where Austin described it as sounding “like a guy who just drank his entire codeine syrup prescription all at once, singing and playing a synth through a delay pedal over a drum machine, all while spelunking in a magnificent [...]

TweetShare Buy the album from Amazon – Vinyl / MP3 / CD Washed Out has done it again, folks. This time it’s a full-length follow up to 2009′s sibling EPs, “Life of Leisure” and “High Times”. If you haven’t heard Washed Out yet, I can say one of two things with much certainty: you either [...]

TweetShare Here’s a bizarre visual stimulant from a guy named Teddy Briggs, who apparently played drums in the original lineup of Rooney, but this has nothing to do with that, though. The song itself is a mix of novelty sing-song/spoken word verses and a droning chillwave-esque chorus, all over the same drum sample. It’s interesting, at [...]

TweetShare Washed Out has dropped another tidbit from his upcoming “Within And Without” (only a couple of weeks away now…). It’s called “Amor Fati”, and well it might be. If I were Ernest Greene, I think I’d be pretty much in Amor with my Fati – all the evidence is that the album is going [...]

TweetShare The problem with chillwave, as with pretty much any genre of electronic-based music, is the sheer amount of it being made by people with Macintosh computers everywhere. If you work for a large music blog or magazine, and you accept music submissions, I do not envy the amount of programmed mediocrity you have to [...]
