With Spoon, Beach House, Interpol, Vampire Weekend, Four Tet, The Magnetic Fields, Hot Chip, and Rogue Wave (among plenty of others that I’m forgetting, surely) all slated to drop new records in early 2010, the new year looks like it will be starting off with a bang. At least for fans of ...

A few weeks ago I tipped you off to the blazing first single from Maudlin , the brand new sophomore record from Capgun Coup . “Bad Bands” showcased the charmingly fuzzed-out garage-punk side of the band, but fans of 2007‘s Brought To You By Nebraskfish know there’s more than that to these ...

Roadside Graves - "Ruby" - HearYa Live Session 8/26/09 from HearYa.com on Vimeo . Personally, I don’t feel like anybody should compile a “Best of the Year” list without giving a fair amount of time to The Roadside Graves ’ tour-de-force My Son’s Home . Hear Ya just posted a video/audio ...

Tennessee-by-way-of-Philadelphia singer-songwriter Matthew Ryan has very quietly built up quite a prolific back catalog since the blue collar hard-folk of 1997’s Mayday . Since then he’s slipped out stark, stripped-down records, like 2001’s underrated Concussion , as well as a few that dip ...

Tarot Sport is U.K. electronic/noise band Fuck Buttons sophomore album, following hot on the heels of last year’s terrific debut , Street Horrrsing . The new album sounds like a more fully realized, mature work from the duo. Songs like “The Lisbon Maru” and “Olympians” may share moments ...

For the past week or so I’ve been catching up with the new Built To Spill album There Is No Enemy , and I have to say I’ve been enjoying it a lot. I don’t mean that to sound like I’m surprised, it’s just that besides “Conventional Wisdom” I didn’t find much to enjoy on 2006’s You In Reverse ...
