TweetShare Yeah you read that right. James Vincent McMorrow covers the best song from 2010, “Whip My Hair” by Willow Smith.   Whilst the original was a carefully crafted and bangin’ Hip-Hop tween-jam with lyrics presumably written by the geniuses behind Rebecca Black’s “Friday”, this cover is a fragile and crooked affair. In a somewhat [...]

TweetShare Up until now the songs that I’d heard from James Vincent McMorrow‘s new album “Early In The Morning” had been nothing short of exemplary. The album has been out elsewhere for nigh-on a year now but finally it’s getting a release stateside on January 25th.  Just before Christmas I did an introduction piece about [...]

TweetShare Indianapolis three-piece Burnt Ones describe their sound as “a broken radio with a tape-deck full of magic mushrooms”, and they’re pretty spot on.  Their four publicly available songs switch between Glam, Surf, Garage, and Lo-Fi, interspersed with all manner of fuzzed-up bass riffs by Brian Allen, reverberating drum beats by Amy Crouch, and the vocals [...]
