KIDS OF 88 – “Feed The Birds” December 26, 2010
Very strong track from New Zealand’s Kids of 88. Is it just me, or do the epic drum fills sound exactly like those from Phil Collins’ “In The Air Tonight”? Sugarpills (Sony New Zealand, August 2010) Read More…

Ja Prawn – Everybody May 17, 2010
“Suicide Party” by Ja Prawn (LIVE) from vosotros on Vimeo. “Vosotros is music for you all.” The latest release from the impeccably eclectic label is Everybody by Ja Prawn.

The Black Keys – Brothers May 17, 2010
The Black Keys new album Brothers comes out on May 18th. It’s exactly what you might expect from the Keys and, in my opinion, it further solidifies their reign as the current heavyweight champs of real, head bobbing, lip curling rock.

Kele – The Boxer (produced by XXXchange) May 3, 2010
Kele hooked up with dance-rock producer XXXchange for the Bloc Party front man’s debut solo album, The Boxer. ”Tenderoni” is a powerful single and will certainly lead to a lot of interest and anticipation for the forthcoming album. The single does a good job of distancing Kele’s solo project from his Bloc Party affiliation, which [...] Read More…

Yo La Tengo – Popular Songs February 27, 2010
Clearly, I haven’t been paying enough attention to Yo La Tengo. At least, not until their latest record, Popular Songs. A friend needed only to play me the first track, “Here To Fall” and I instantly realized the folly of my ways. The combination of heavy rock and strings is irresistibly cool. The song is [...] Read More…
