Alan Palomo’s Neon Indian project is something you’re either going to love or hate.  It has all the elements of this little “glow-fi” movement we are currently experiencing – bedroom production, 80′s pop sensibility, and boombox-blasting beats.  That said, it is also the cream of that crop, so if you are into bands like Washed [...]

Immune is back with a new vinyl release, which means this is some high-quality shit.  C Joynes is a renowned British guitar player that has released some CD-Rs and ultra-limited vinyl.  “Revenants, Prodigies, and The Restless Dead” is his first widely-available vinyl release, thank goodness for Immune.  The music is rooted in traditional folk fingerpicking, [...]

If you’re already listening to bands like Blank Dogs and Washed Out, you might as well go deeper down the hole and listen to Miami’s Teepee, as it’s probably what you’ll be listening to in a year anyway.  Lower-fi, dronier, and more psychedelic than the aforementioned artists, this one-man record should definitely impress your hipster [...]

I got this record in the mail for review, and I am pretty much blown away by it.  WROOM are a Portland duo on Arena Rock Recording Company that play beautiful, precise atmospheric/textural/drone/ambient music.  This album has actually been out since the beginning of the year, but this is the first time I have heard [...]

You may remember stoner rockers Naam from when we wrote about their debut EP.  Well, now they are ready for their full-fledged LP to drop on Tee Pee, home of all the best stoners.  Loud, smoked-out psychedelia reigns here, and you will like it.  The 2xLP drops in a couple of weeks, but you can [...]

Wow, we are exhibiting some real versatility on the site today, but hopefully that’s why you love us.  Omaha indie darling Conor Oberst’s Bright Eyes will release “A Christmas Album” in time for the holidays.  It will be a 180gram LP on white vinyl, available only online, and all proceeds go to benefit the Nebraska [...]

I got a nice little package in the mail from Sophomore Lounge Records.  Inside was a brand-spanking new split 7″ by two midwest bands.  The A-Side, by a Chicago band called Meah!, contains two doses of jangly, crazy, schizophrenic spazz-pop, think a slightly toned down version of Man Man.  The B-Side here really shines, as [...]

One thing is certain about The Dead Weather, they really like to put out a lot of records.  Their newest 7″ features the Jack White-fronted “I Cut Like a Buffalo” b/w “A Child of a Few Hours is Burning to Death”, a cover of a West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band song.  $6 shipped get [...]

Truth & Soul records has just reissued a classic funk 45, so strap on your dancing shoes.  The Ghetto Brothers’ “Ghetto Brothers Power” has been remastered and paired with “I Saw A Tear”, then thrown on a 7″ slab of vinyl, the kind with the big hole.  Listen to samples and grab it for $6 [...]

Lush and analogue ambience from the French countryside! Well, at least I assume it’s from the countryside, certainly sounds a bit pastoral to me. Maybe? I don’t speak much French (or any) but from what I can tell this is a 24 minute 12″ EP cut at 45rpm and judging by the songs on their [...]
