MEMPHIS

757 days ago by Eric Weiner

I’m a longtime Stars fan (obviously), so when vocalist Torquil Campbell approached us about filming with Chris Dumont and his side project Memphis, I was more-or-less jumping up and down with pure joy.  Picture it.  With croissants, coffee, and two feline pals, the bands performed fantastic renditions of “Apocalypse Pop Song”, “A Little Place In The Wilderness”, and “Language of Birds”.  Enjoy the videos below and snag the free downloads of the recordings.  Continue the conversation in the comments below.

Thanks to Derek Eads for another stunning illustration.  For more of his work, click here.

‘Honey I’m Home’ is a live session series made by The Wild Honey Pie.  With each new episode, we welcome a different band into Sounds Like A Fire home studio in Brooklyn and record intimate versions of two or three songs which are given away for free.

HANDSOME FURS’ NEW SONG

IMG 4556 2 530x397 HANDSOME FURS NEW SONG

I’m a sucker for sythns. I like all sythns: pop ones, dark ones, ones that belong in Flock of Seagulls. I especially love synths that follow the direct line from Joy Division and New Order- the ones with swirly tingling that give way to a deep murky rumbling below.

CASS MCCOMBS’ WIT’S END

Untitled 530x497 CASS MCCOMBS WITS END

I’m a self-proclaimed sucker for music with retro vibes, and even more of a sucker for songs with excellent finger-picking. Lucky for me, Cass McCombs’ (@cassmccombs) latest album boasts both of these, plus a promising spot in my long-term music archive. Self-produced alongside [READ ON]

LAS 530x395 FUCKING VEGAS (WITH YAOAY)

TOM VEK’S NEW SINGLE

759 days ago by Lauren McKinney

tom vek a chore1 530x388 TOM VEKS NEW SINGLE

Tom Vek (@tomvekupdates) seemed to disappear five years ago after the release of his first album We Have Sound. Prior to becoming fully reclusive, though, there still wasn’t a great deal of self-promoted information available online (or anywhere really). He seemed to enjoy being the enigmatic figure worthy of speculation, and his long absence [READ ON]

Calling the musically rich city of New Orleans home can be a blessing or a curse.  You can either try to expand on what has been born and bred there for decades, or you can go a different route.  In Empress Hotel’s (@empress_hotel) case, they seem to prefer the latter. [READ ON]

TUNE-YARDS’ WHOKILL

Tuneyards album hi res 530x530 TUNE YARDS WHOKILL

If the stylization of the band’s name is any indication, tUnE-YarDs (@tuneyards) is not for everybody. And while Whokill the second album from Merrill Garbus, embraces traditional structures and pop tonalities far more readily than her previous effort, it is still an eccentric work [READ ON]

Perhaps it’s because I love The Walkmen, or maybe just slow moving shots of landscape, but this is one of the most captivating music videos I’ve seen in a long time. High concept videos are all good fun, but there [READ ON]
