Something about several guitarists unleashing fury with the same exact solo at once is mystifying and powerful. San Francisco's Citay accomplish this by channeling Crosby, Stills & Nash studying Jimmy Page's shred journal. |||Citay: "Careful With That Hat" MP3||| Citay's Dream Get ...

I'm a sucker for windy, baroque pop north of France. The Clientele, Belle & Sebastian, Camera Obscura and now I'm adding Rose Elinor Dougall to that list. In a previous post we studied the pristine, dark pop of " Start/Stop/Synchro ", now Dougall returns with yet another solid single ...

Besnard Lakes frontman Jace Lasek has been working on a new project with pal Michael Gardiner called The Soft Province. If you're as anxious as I am about the forthcoming Besnard Lakes full-length, reportedly due early next year on Jagjaguwar , then this will help ease the pain. "Lazy ...

I don't have any more words or praise left in me for Polvo , they're just so bad-ass. Jon Leone pieces together live footage along with clips of the quartet demonstrating how to sound like a group of musical gods. Nice to see a new video using one of In Prism 's strongest jams too. Polvo: ...

If you forgot, or were perturbed, by all of the Animal Collective hype surrounding the fascinating and highly ranked Merriweather Post Pavillion then let this brand new EP track, "What Would I Want? Sky", wash those deflated impressions away. It's noted that this is also the first ...

The Brian Jonestown Massacre . Love them or hate them. If you're like me you do both. Here's a stream of their new album Who Killed Sgt. Pepper , reportedly due January 1, 2010. Song titles include "This is the One Thing We Did Not Want to Have Happen", "Feel it (Of Course We Fucking Do)" ...

Unless you've been living under a boulder, WARP Records has been celebrating 20 years of existence and influence on music with events in Paris, the U.K. and over here in the U.S. Thankfully, Babelgum is featuring several performances from WARP artists and this great 30-minute documentary ...

While I was getting my pre- Le Switch drink buzz on at The Echo I noticed the DJ spinning several Black Tambourine tracks throughout the night. In fact, he/she might as well have played their entire catalog. I immediately started thinking about all of the low-fi/girl groups that have ...

Here's the new video for Atlas Sound 's "Quick Canal", featuring Stereolab 's Laetitia Sadier on vocals. It's one of the stronger, poppier tracks on the excellent Logos and features and very Stereolab-esque bass line. Atlas Sound: "Quick Canal" - created by Fitz Vladich:

As promised via twitter yesterday, Beach House is giving away a brand new track from their forthcoming album Teen Dream , coming January 26th on Sub Pop . "Norway" is surprisingly more upbeat, warped and experimental compared to their past work, all of which holds up so well. But it's also ...

"Karen Loves Kate" sounds like a great name for a PG-13 sitcom on CBS, starring Markie Post and her adorable/eccentric/hip foster kid, played by Raven Simone of course. Think Punky Brewster for the 2010 and beyond kids. But seriously, this new track from Lone , taken from his upcoming album ...

This is a great mix with new tracks from Twin Tigers, Bibio, Mux Mool and more. If you get a chance this weekend go and pre-order Lone's new album Ecstasy & Friends . I've heard a couple of samples floating around the inner-nets and it's super good. |||Download: "SOSMIX-30" ZIP||| ...

Imaad Wasif brings his blues-driven psychedelic rock to the Echoplex tonight, and I'm crossing my fingers that Adam Garcia and Bob Bruno (Two Part Beast) are joining him. Wasif's band is exceptional on stage and adds so much energy. The Voidist (Tee Pee) is out now and can be purchased ...

Gothenburg, Sweden noise-pop troupe The Greencoats dazzled yours truly with their Spring EP last summer. The standout garage rock/shoegaze burner "Honey" takes off at light speed and never slows down -- check the incredible drum fills and levels of fuzz. Catchy as fuck too. Order the ...
