• The Flaming Lips - Silver Trembling Hands

  Posted on Tuesday July 14th, 2009 at 13:32 in indie, the flaming lips

  Immediately upon hearing this song I imagined myself swirling around the twister from The Wizard of Oz. There’s also a Doors quality to it; like a doped-up indian/poet with arms spread wide, dancing around a log fire while drone-like guitars ca...

• Julian Plenti - No Chance Survival

  Posted on Saturday July 11th, 2009 at 17:47 in indie, interpol, paul banks, julian plenti

  Interpol frontman Paul Banks’ solo project, Julian Plenti is Interpol without the sex appeal. I’ll be honest, I had extremely high hopes for this album when I heard about it, but surprisingly all but maybe two tracks left me scratching my...

• Tgunderson - Hypotech

  Posted on Wednesday May 13th, 2009 at 11:13 in indie, tgunderson

  I’m going to be very honest about the fact that I have absolutely NO information on this song whatsoever. All I know is that I found it, and jacked it… And quite soon could be asked to remove it from our server since I was a little sneaky...

• Magic Wands - Black Magic

  Posted on Sunday May 10th, 2009 at 11:43 in indie, magic wands

  For a band that has yet to even release an album, Magic Wands, the romantically infused duo of Chris & Dexy, has gathered up quite a bit of momentum and praise. They’ve been tour support for The Black Kids and The Virgins, and will soon be ...

• Hermit Thrushes - Snowflake Heart

  Posted on Thursday April 23rd, 2009 at 21:00 in indie, hermit thrushes

  While having the breath crushed out of me from the weight of a million (and one) other things on my plate, I just had to share some of the treats that have been collecting dust in my inbox. First up is an aural adventure that toys with tone and lyric...

• Metric - Gimme Sympathy (Acoustic Version)

  Posted on Tuesday March 31st, 2009 at 10:47 in indie, metric, emily haines

  It’s official, new favorite song alert! In fact, this has recently become an obsession of mine, and not only because my ears have always been infatuated with the gravely, low toned voice of Metric lead songstress Emily Haines, who, for those of...

• De Rosa - Nocturne For An Absentee

  Posted on Wednesday March 4th, 2009 at 16:30 in indie, de rosa

  Packaged up, sent off, and massively anticipated, De Rosa’s follow up album to their 2006 debut Mend is sure to make good on all the promises we’ve been telling ourselves in the wait for Prevention. The UK band have just (March 2nd) relea...

• Dead Heart Bloom - Flash In A Bottle

  Posted on Wednesday March 4th, 2009 at 16:30 in indie, dead heart bloom

  Just as the slow-moving silver sky of a rainy day enters, transforms, and passes, leaving your window’s view a new world to gaze out on, this song has roughly (/gently) the same effect. The subtle swing might make you miss something simple. It&...

• Venice is Sinking - Ryan’s Song

  Posted on Sunday February 8th, 2009 at 19:16 in indie, venice is sinking

  Maybe it’s the weather. Maybe it’s the constant flood of Myspace bulletins that no longer act as the outreach of friends and schoolmates, but only to promote the same club, night after night after night. Maybe it’s me. I’m tir...

• Neon Walrus - We Don’t Matter

  Posted on Tuesday February 3rd, 2009 at 21:24 in indie, neon walrus

  Think Darkel meets Holy Ghost! That’s about where you’ll end up if you zone out to the smooth shifting rhythms of what I am only now deeming to be my blog-centric “Best Of 2008″ top pick. This is an underestimated giant! IR...

• Muke - The Hamburger Waltz

  Posted on Thursday July 31st, 2008 at 20:08 in indie, new music, muke, minute morning records

  Yesterday I received what might’ve been the most cheerful email I have ever had the privilege of reading. It came from the loving hearts of a band named Muke in Oregon. The told me that they a little band on a little label (Minute Morning Recor...
