Listen Before You Buy

“Ester” may not bowl you over completely, but it is definitely a winner for hazed out nights and early morning monologues.

“Let’s Go Eat The Factory” is an uneven album for sure, but it should please GBV fans with a retro hankering and suggests good things for them in future, especially if the whole band starts having as much fun as the returning Tobin Sprout clearly is.

TweetShare Búfalo is a Brazilian duet formed by Felipe Mattos and Renan Pamplona. The members, who live in Santa Catarina (a beautiful southern state), found each other online. Felipe was looking for people on MySpace because he wanted to form a band. Well, so did Renan. But that wasn’t the only coincidence: they found out [...]

TweetShare Lo-fi garage rock comes with a series easy observations; with it’s simple melodies it’s an easily accessible aesthetic, a sound that can easily be traced back to 60s surf influences. Chances are fairly high that if you’ve heard one lo-fi garage-surf band, which you will have done if you were paying any attention to [...]

TweetShare Well, this is refreshing. It’s not exactly uncommon to find bands promising the world and failing to deliver, but it’s a crime We Are Losers certainly can’t be accused of. I mean, right there in the title: if they sucked you could hardly accuse them of trying to disguise the fact. They don’t suck though. [...]

TweetShare Stones’ influenced lo-fi indie electro-rock that is solid. This is the first I’ve heard from Brooklyn-based Sewing Machines which I stumbled upon on Bandcamp last week, and I hear some real promise in what they’re working with. Released as part of an EP called “February”, this track is the standout of the six-track EP, awash in [...]

TweetShare It can be a noisy, crowded place here on the cutting edge of music (yes, this is the cutting edge – thanks for asking). All these young dudes and debauched débutantes clamouring for attention, filled with youthful vigour and shrink-wrapped in impossibly skinny jeans. Their cups o’erfloweth with drive and ambition and a burning [...]

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. Any time I get sent music that I like I “star” it in [...]

TweetShare  Buy the album on Amazon – MP3 For a few teenagers, a second full album should be a testament to resilience. It isn’t very often that a group like Fungi Girls, comprising of three Northern Texas teens, finds anything closely resembling sustainable success. But with the June release of “Some Easy Magic,” the lo-fi garage [...]

TweetShare Buy the album on Amazon – Vinyl | MP3 | CD Pepper Rabbit, the New Orleans-born but Los Angeles-based duo that consists of Xander Singh and Luc Laurent, are a dreamy yet cerebral outfit.  Their sound and image is almost avant-garde, and their last record and debut LP, “Beauregard,” was a lo-fi, multi-instrumentalist wonder, [...]

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 I stopped following Beast Coast on Twitter a while ago because I was tired of reading about her getting stoned or how awesome her cat was. It’s a cat, all cats are awesome! Get over it! Anyway, to celebrate herself almost reaching the 50k follower mark on Twitter she’s uploaded a new track called [...]

TweetShare Having been released at the start of the year there aren’t many people talking about Papercuts‘ latest album “Fading Parade” as we approach the end of the Summer, however the exact opposite should be happening. The album is made for Summer with its hazy vocals, light and breezy guitar work and the overall sense [...]

TweetShare Not sure if it’s because they’ve “gone major” by signing with Astralwerks or not, but the sound of this new EP is leagues away from the DIY erratic sound of their debut EP “Sun Bronzed Greek Gods”. DOM were more than likely given a chunk of cash that wasn’t at their disposal when recording [...]
