Festival line-up announcement season is in full swing, reminding us that the cold will soon let up and we’ll be able to rock out to our favorite music in the sunshine. Every year, we rave about how incredible Sasquatch! Festival is, with the breathtaking views of The Gorge in Washington and the laid back vibes you get camping with mostly Northwesterners and Canadians [READ ON]
Over the past few years, Chaz Bundwick, the bedroom producer turned indie star behind Toro Y Moi, has started forging the reputation as a somewhat musical chameleon. Back in 2010, Chaz was riding atop the chillwave movement, making blissed-out ambient electronica — the kind of music that was ideal for long, warm, summer days. The following year, he strapped on his best pair of vintage [READ ON]
This week is massive (and massively awesome) in the world of new releases. Lots of young, innovative talents put out first or second full-lengths, all varying hugely in genre and style. Channeling everything from the hippie movement, to dreams, to folk sounds, these bands will help you glide through the last bit of winter with ease.
This week, The Joy Formidable released their second full-length album, entitled Wolf’s Law. It’s been two years since their debut LP, and the Welsh band has gained a lot of ground. This time around, their sound is heavier and more intense, a move complemented really well by Ritzy Bryan’s confident lead vocals. The entire album is available to stream [READ ON]
Hopefully your haul from Record Store Day is enough to keep your ears abuzz with new music for the coming weeks. If you’re like me, though, and weren’t successful at grabbing all the limited edition 7-inches on your list, there are plenty of releases [READ ON]
I know I say this every week, but seriously everyone, this might be one of the best weeks of live music here in NYC in recent history. We have The Dodos, Cut Copy, Young Man, and Youth Lagoon in town plus multiple shows from Peter Bjorn and John. Enjoy the [READ ON]
Happy Monday! It may almost be Labor Day, but this week [READ ON]
As 2011 continues to fly by, we thought it would be helpful to release our list of the best that this year has had to offer in terms of new music. Thus far, it’s been a year of breathtaking full-length debuts (see: James Blake, GIVERS, Hooray For Earth) and albums [READ ON]
I like busy people. Busy people are not content releasing one awesome record a year, touring non-stop, and remixing every band under the sun. No, busy people have to take that little free time they have [READ ON]
Looks like the joke is on us. Toro y Moi (@toroymoi) is now officially releasing his albums in reverse order. Nice try Bundick, but you haven’t fooled me. While this is actually not the case, when I was first listening through Underneath the Pine, this idea did strike me. [READ ON]
There was something wrong with the line-up for Wednesday night’s show at the Mercury Lounge. Somehow, in the process of setting up the time slots, someone inverted the list, forcing the most popular of the three, Toro Y Moi, to go first. The rotation, however, was the only thing wrong with the night. [READ ON]
So…after all the hype, preview videos, tracklist reveals, collaborator interviews and feverish anticipation, Daft Punk's fourth studio album, Random Access Memories[READ ON]
JEFF the Brotherhood returned to New York on Saturday with a spiffy four piece line-up. I was particularly glad to see Tina (former Black Belle) on keys. The[READ ON]
Making lists is an incredibly geeky thing to do. Seriously, it pre-supposed that you not only have a stupidly large and completely arbitrary knowledge of something[READ ON]
