Rebekka Karijord has crafted a record of unforgettable, eerie magic as epic yet peaceful as the Northern Norwegian landscape into which she was born with new album, ‘We Become Ourselves’. We Become Ourselves’s centrepiece, the first single ‘Use My Body While It’s Still Young’ is a song built upon a bedrock of vast, tribal drums. […]
Following a fantastic run of live shows this summer including Lovebox, Field Day and a headline performance at The Nest in London, Last Dinosaurs have announced a full regional tour this September including two headline London Shows at Madame JoJo’s and Barfly. Coming in the wake of a string of live dates in the UK […]
2012 marks the fourth release by Austin , Texas trio The Gary, an LP titled ‘Remains’, the follow-up to last year’s Albini-recorded ‘El Camino’ EP. This also marks their first full-length since 2010’s acclaimed Logan. The Gary began in 2008 as an informal gathering three friends with instruments, with no more ambition than to get […]
Jan, aka Kim Talon, will release a self-titled debut album on November 13th. With riot grrrl-infused vocals, fuzzed out guitar lines, and blissed out grunge rhythms, Jan is a genre-straddling album that packs a mean punch. Known for being the latter half of art-rock band Eagle and Talon, Kim is now joined by Chloe Saavedra […]
Already championed at XFM and 6Music, Northwich’s Joe Banfi has that stark individualism that Communion discovered with the debut releases by both Michael Kiwanuka and Ben Howard. And what immediately proved so distinctive for Kevin Jones and Ben Lovett of Communion, after receiving an unsolicited email from Joe linking them to his demos, is what […]
Beverly post-rock quintet Caspian will release their new full-length studio album ‘Waking Season’ on 24th September through Triple Crown Records. Co-produced by Matt Bayles, former keyboard player from Minus the Bear and producer for such seminal albums as Isis’ ‘Oceanic’, Botch’s ‘We Are Romans’ and Mastodon’s ‘Blood Mountain’, ‘Waking Season’ is the follow-up to Caspian’s […]
A sense of place. It’s a notion that has informed some of our most memorable works of art — everyone has a favorite book or painting or album that somehow has the power to immerse you completely in its world, so much so that you don’t want to leave. This sense of creating art that […]
It has been thirteen long years. What were they doing? Where have they been? Somewhere, perhaps under a Manhattan substructure, or maybe above a spiral nebula, we know they have been doing something. But what? Probably checked out. Gone exploring. Pioneering tonal semiotics, developing rhythmic syntax, plugging in, turning up – creating sheer bloody massive slabs […]
‘On and On’ is The Sea and Cake‘s second single, taken from the Chicago group’s highly anticipated forthcoming album ‘Runner’. Head HERE to hear the well received first single, ‘Harps’. You can also hear the track ‘Pacific’ on Marc Riley’s BBC 6 Music show HERE. ‘Runner’ will be out on 17th September via Thrill Jockey Records
In addition to their exceptional self-directed video portraying one man’s struggle with guilt, Oxford’s SPRING OFFENSIVE share a slightly darker side to their songwriting prowess with brand new single ‘Not Drowning But Waving’. The dynamic quintet confirm its physical availability will be on very limited edition 7” vinyl with download code in bespoke packaging assembled […]
