Little Children is the moniker of Swedish music-maker, Linus Lutti, who possesses the ability to craft scenic landscapes of sound that are equal parts light and fog. His dreamy folk gem, “In Hau”, is more a living, breathing habitat than it is a “track”, expanding and evolving in front of our eyes for its six minute lifespan. I can’t shake the foggy sunrise vibes that I get every time I listen to it, which [READ ON]

TAKE THE SHOUTING MATCHES FOR A SPIN [STREAM]
Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) has teamed up with friends Phil Cook (formerly DeYarmond Edison with Vernon, currently Megafaun) and Brian Moen (Peter Wolf Crier) to form blues-rock trio, The Shouting Matches. They released Grownass Man on April 9. Fans of the genre will immediately take to this record, yet also note that the record isn’t breaking any new ground. Instead, the trio is proving their capability at putting out gritty, Southern blues with ease. Grownass Man sounds like a side-project for [READ ON]

DAUGHTER’S BON IVER/HOT CHIP MASH-UP HAS US GUSHING [STREAM]
Ready your ears for Daughter’s new, potent mash-up of Bon Iver’s “Perth” and Hot Chip’s “Ready for the Floor”! The band’s already placid sound melds beautifully with the subtle brilliance of the Bon Iver track, while they manage to slow down and weave in Hot Chip’s dance jam, creating a wondrously striking mash-up that’ll have you gushing. For those of us not living in the UK, where Daughter’s debut was released this week, this should help whet our appetites and hold us over [READ ON]
THE BLISSFUL NOISE OF XENIA RUBINOS [STREAM]
Photo by Shervin Lainez
My first listen to Xenia Rubinos was similar in some ways to my first tUnE-yArDs listen. When I heard tUnE-yArDs for the first time, it wrecked my concepts of pop song structure and then rebuilt them with expanded parameters and higher creative expectations for the pop I would hear thereafter. The difference is Xenia Rubinos isn’t breaking down barriers so much as completely [READ ON]
FOREIGN FIELDS WILL HAVE YOU FLOATING [STREAM]
Electronic folk duo Foreign Fields recorded their debut over the course of time spent in two climactic extremes — a Wisconsin winter and a Nashville summer — and managed to capture the beauty of both on their LP Anywhere But Where I Am. Hailing from West Bend, the group has forged a sound to envelop [READ ON]

HEYWARD HOWKINS TAKES THE EDGE OFF [FREE MP3]
A few years ago, when Heyward Howkins (@heywardhowkins) was laid off from his geology job, he turned to songwriting and recording for employment. Howkins, though, was no rookie to the world of music. As former lead guitarist for the early 2000s band The Trouble With Sweeney, he had gathered his share of insider industry knowledge. However, the transition to singer/songwriter was a challenging [READ ON]
BONNAROO 2012 RECAP

After more than a decade of uniting fans of all backgrounds, Bonnaroo sometimes feels less like a music festival and more like a vibrant, thriving city of 80,000 that only springs to life for one weekend every year. The consistently excellent lineups (headlining this year: Phish, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead, The Beach Boys, Bon Iver, Avett Brothers, and The Shins) are always a major draw, but what keeps people coming back is the overwhelming sense of community and positivity that is unmatched among other festivals around the country. In the seclusion of the forests and farmland of Manchester, TN, attendees are always greeted by old familiar landmarks and festival traditions that brought everyone together originally. Bonnaroo derives its name from the New Orleans [READ ON]
