Many might remember Wise Blood as the name on everybody’s tongue about two years ago, however after the release of this second EP in 2011 he somewhat went missing until he dropped “The Rat” this April. Wise Blood, aka Chris Laufmann, is back with his first full-length album “id” and anyone who liked his previous work won’t be disappointed – […]

Founded by Melbourne’s Dion Nania and based in New York, quirky quartet Free Time dropped a brand spankin’ new video for their single Just One last week. Directed by Ben Bernstein and Sam Jones, the clip is comprised of footage captured by GoPros strapped to the band members’ heads as they venture through NYC. The final product is a montage […]

Nicolai Kleinerman Koch’s solo project PRE-Be-Un will release its debut “Clean Spasms” via Tambourhinoceros on August 19. The keyboardist of Oh No Ono and Choir of Young Believers proves his compositive skills in the first single “Mysteriously in Love”: a fairy lullaby drowned in lysergic jingles. One of twenty-two new tracks added to our playlist on July 1. Singing freaky melodies on a syncopated drum pattern, PRE-Be-Un shows […]

After releasing double A-side single “Glow/Hollow” earlier this year, Hibou returns with Dunes, a 5-song EP steeped in sun-drenched, propelling indiepop. Seattle’s Hibou is the work of former Craft Spells drummer, 19-year-old (!) Peter Michel, who aptly describes his own music as “ethereal surfy poppy love”. Like Washed Out or Beach Fossils, Hibou is great for long, dreamy summer days. […]

San Francisco’s Weekend may have left the comfort of their Bay Area home to find inspiration in the more alien environment of the Brooklyn music scene, but they didn’t leave their fuzzy, layered, post-punk sound behind. “It’s Alright” is the second single from Jinx, their new album due July 23 via Slumberland. Not as lo-fi as they’ve been in the […]

Long before Nick Allbrook left Tame Impala, this talented musician formed a band with Joseph Ryan and Jay Watson (also from Tame Impala), among a very collaborative line-up. Having huge success from prior albums, four to be exact, they return with their psychedelic rock in Hobo Rocket on Modular People on Aug 5.

California collective Candy Claws released their fourth full-length “Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time” this week: a shoegazed journey into an ancestral era. “Transitional Girl (Clever Bird)”, the first single, synthesizes the amorphous atmosphere of the album, interchanging a catchy beating pattern with a slower sulfurous chorus. The chromatic chord progressions lead gently into narcotic soundscapes and support the […]

Despite humble beginnings in a coastal town on the south coast of New South Wales, Jenny Broke The Window are beginning to turn heads in the big city with their own brand of infectious indie pop. With their sophomore record in the works, the boys have released two new singles, Ravel and Abracadabra, to give Jenny aficionados something to play […]
