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 This week, from June 6th to June 10th, Domino Records took over a little chunk of the airwaves in the U.K. to host their very own radio station replete with some of the biggest and best names in the arts, from artists themselves to label owners and anyone else in between. The result?  A [...]

TweetShare Remember “Parachutes”? I miss “Parachutes”. But hey, Coldplay are still here and today they’ve revealed their latest single, the [sigh] anthemic “Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall”. This is obviously intended to be a singalong kind of tune: they’ve kept the melody simple, you’ll only need to hear it once to remember it forever, and [...]

TweetShare It’s been a hot minute since New Jersyan char-broiling Garage-Rock duo Slow Animal dropped any new tracks but today that allllll changed. Announcing that the song will be a part of a compilation being released in the U.K. with Las Robertas, Warm Brains, and The Proper Ornaments, they also mentioned that it’ll be on [...]

TweetShare Washed Out‘s album opener “Eyes Be Closed” is just as lusciously moist as their debut tracks from two years ago… yet Ernest Greene ‘s waited two years to attack that tricky first album hype.  He’s been biding his time and he’s definitely found his moment, the first full LP “Within And Without” releases July [...]

TweetShare With Hugo Manuel’s bittersweet, wave-like vocals washing over lush synths and a steady percussion, “Fast Challenges” is easily reminicent of ocean sprays on a summer afternoon shore. Whether it be the Spanish beaches or your kiddie pool, Chad Valley has proven last year with his self-titled Cascine debut that he can become our summer [...]

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 You can hear traces of summer with the opening whirling guitar riffs, effectively creating the season of my dreams. While the strumming layers create a wonderful rippling effect, the vocals echo as if you’re being slowly submerged. Released today on Prefix Magazine, this new song from San Fran’s Blackbird Blackbird “Overboard” seems to give [...]

TweetShare On February 22nd, Beach Fossils will unleash a new EP via Captured Tracks. What a pleasure. Ironically, the EP is entitled “What A Pleasure”, and will feature a collaboration with Jack Tatum, better known as Wild Nothing and the track, “Out In The Way,” features a bolder sound than anything we’ve previously heard from [...]

TweetShare Have you ever been to Margate?  Have you even heard of Margate? I’ve never been but I have heard of the small English town, just over the water from France on the English east coast.  Being a beach town it’s probably where Two Wounded Birds got a lot of their inspiration, given that they [...]

TweetShare A few months back when it was warm and sunny and dogs were dying in hot cars, Teen Daze was churning out new tunes like it was nobodies business. The songs in question were more electronic-driven, falling into the “Chillwave” category if you will, but with this new “Beach Dreams” EP he’s taken a [...]

TweetShare Thankfully this new song from Girls isn’t from an EP called “EP” or something equally as original, like their debut album “Album” was. That album though was fan-fucking-tastic, despite the shitty name, so maybe this new EP they’re releasing will be shite since it has a more original name; “Broken Dreams Club”.  However if [...]

TweetShare Two new songs (the band got in touch with me and mentioned that these two “new” songs were actually done before their demo EP and that actual new songs are on the way.  Fuck yeah!) from New Jersey’s Slow Animal, taken from a cassette-released EP on Trivial Pursuit. Previously featured on the site back [...]

TweetShare Photography by me. “Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.” – John Lubbock I’ve been toying with the idea of putting together a mixtape for a [...]
