Listen to The Antlers‘s cover of The xx‘s song “VCR” below. During the week it was announced that The Antlers will be releasing “(together)”, a new EP on November 22nd that will host collaborations with Neon Indian, Nicole Atkins, and Bear In Heaven, along with outtakes of songs from their indispensable new album “Burst Apart”. Also making an appearance [...]

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 Yeah, [...]

I leave the house for a few minutes and what happens? NPR drop the first play of a new Neon Indian track called “Polish Girl”. The weird thing is that *I’m actually at a psychiatrist appointment with my Polish maid/mistress/wife/thing, writing this on my phone. Taken from their upcoming album “Era Extraña” the track is [...]

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 new [...]

The Flaming Lips have really been branching out after their last album, “Embryonic”, collaborating with artists like Neon Indian and Prefuse 73. It’s all been very exciting to Flaming Lips fans such as myself. In fact, it’s hard to think of anything The Flaming Lips have been involved with that wasn’t exciting and/or slightly alarming, [...]

Remember how last week I’d mentioned that Com Truise was one talented motherfucker when it comes to creating a complete package in 80′s throwback tone and style?  Well he’s followed it up this week with another example “Cathode Girls”, the first single from his upcoming debut album on Ghostly “Galactic Melt”. Those distinctive-yet-seemingly-making-an-appearance-on-every-other-80′s-nostalgia-tinged-musical-wannabe synths are [...]

Let’s not talk about music for a minute, but instead aesthetics. It’s one thing to make music that’s appealing and earnestly nostalgic, but when you can accompany that with artwork and an entire design focus around the throwback era you’re stylising in your music, that’s some impressive shit, especially when it’s all be done in-house too. That’s [...]

“Is David Bowie Dying?” Sure, he is steadily marching toward the grim reaper, as are we all, but we have no reason to believe that Bowie is heading toward the light any time soon. If anyone is tapped into some great cosmic power that might reveal Bowie’s demise, though, it would certainly be Wayne Coyne, [...]

Com Truise, aka Seth Haley, first released this EP back in June of 2010, but has recently repackaged and rereleased it with four extra tracks for the princely sum of nothing. You can head over to his (beautifully designed)  website and pick it up for absolutely zilch. If you are unfamiliar with Com Truise, we [...]

When gorgeous visuals combine with equally as beautiful music, you know you’re gonna get some downright sexy little babies from it. Alan Jensen has done some incredible (official and unofficial) videos for the likes of Blackbird Blackbird, Toro Y Moi, Washed Out, and Neon Indian, and now he’s gone and done the same for Star Slinger’s Soul-Hop anthem “Mornin” [...]

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 Gmail [...]

New music from MillionYoung is always a good thing as the dude always fails to disappoint. Actually I am disappointed, but only in the fact that this guy isn’t getting more recognition, the kind he deserves.  The last time we heard from him he’d reworked Erik Satie’s “Gymnopedie No. 1″ into a chilled out, ethereal, [...]
