A friend of mine reminded me about La Blogothèque, I hadn’t been to their site since the Grizzly Bear’s The Knife video. I was digging around looking at all their updates and I found an amazing set of videos of Chris Garneau. He just released Music For Tourists back in January on Absolutely Kosher Records […]

Low is back with yet another undeniably fantastic alternative pop album. Drums and Guns marks their first venture into more electronic music, replacing the signature meloncholic guitars with keyboards, sythns, and drum machines. Here is the press release from their label Sub Pop records:
“Drums and Guns is the band’s […]
Shearwater made huge waves in the underground music scene with last year’s Palo Santo. The band features members from the highly acclaimed Okkervil River and makes music that is as relaxing as it is fascinating for listeners of all kinds. Recently, Shearwater has been getting the attention that they have deserved all along. Now signed […]
One of the most anticipated records of the year, the newest from Modest Mouse titled “We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank” is going quick. This is the first album featuring guitarist Johnny Marr (formerly of The Smiths), and (in my opinion) the best album since The Moon and Antarctica. So, come get it.
Internal […]

Are you like me? Do you spend countless days dancing in your bedroom to No Kill No Beep Beep or Different Damage, with a single tear each half hour falling at the attrocity of Q and not U’s break up, praying for new songs as incredible as “Hooray for Humans” and “Soft Pyramids”? […]

This is a long overdue hype post about one of the best albums of the year. Justin Broadrick aka Jesu followed up his phenominal Silver EP with an even better new full length titled Conqueror. The music is a strange but beautiful mix of noise rock, ambient walls of sound, and shoegaze influenced guitars, with […]

Long before dance rock was the new old little big thing, Trans Am was indulging in their passions for wanky guitar shredding, drum machines, live rock drumming, synthesizers and goofy electronic noises, and vocoders. For a band that doesn’t always come off as the most serious or sincere, they have amassed quite a catalog […]
The most elaborate Apples production to date. Clocking in at 53 minutes, the album contains 14 songs, 12 additional “link tracks,” and an Apples first — the newly invented “Non-Pythagorian Music Scale” included in both digital sound files and an in-depth video description on the enhanced portion of this multimedia CD. If all that […]

A little over a year ago I made the responsible choice to go to a show at Relative Theory instead of staying in and sleeping the night before my SAT’s. Grizzly Bear was headlining and their show was hyped so much that I finally had to go. G. Bear did turn out to […]

I have a feeling this record will be in heavy rotation at Relative Theory. We haven’t gotten a promo copy yet and I have only heard the few songs on their myspace, but I think The Bird and The Bee are going to seduce the record store (mainly, Jamie and George) with their stylish electro-pop […]
No New York was one of the few substantial recorded artifacts of the fabled No Wave movement that captivated possibly dozens of Gothamites in the late 70s and early 80s. There was a lot of diversity and very little cohesion between the several acts associated with the term, but it was definitely a distinctive […]
