Neil Young goes “mental” on new album
Neil Young is, for the lack of a better word, insane. But that’s why we love him, right? His music is turbulent and fierce, always engaging the listener with apocalyptic discourse that’s both surreal and rather grim, and his image is iconic. Just by looking at him, one could assess that not everything’s all together [...]

Black Dice finds Repo
What it the result 10 years of “daily contact, touring the world over, and sculpting their saw-toothed sound balloons under circumstances most reasonable people would wretch at” get you? Non other than the latest studio endeavor from New York noise rockers Black Dice. Entitled Repo and officially set for release on April 7th via Paw [...]
Album Review: Fever Ray – Fever Ray
One of 2006’s “It” albums was The Knife’s Silent Shout. Olof Dreijer and Karin Dreijer Andersson, the Swedish siblings who make up the acclaimed outfit, combined forces for a fourth studio album that was sterile, scary, and—more often than not—danceable. Andersson supplied the vocals for the entire album, but they were so densely layered and [...]
Animal Collective plots one long tour
As if life could get any better for fans of Animal Collective following the release of the New York outfit’s new studio album, Merriweather Post Pavilion, they now have a slew of new tour dates to revel in. And when we say slew, that’s probably an understatement. Following a previously announced warm-up tour across U.S., [...]
YouTube Live: Bruce Springsteen – “Dream Baby Dream” (Suicide Cover)
In a thirty-six-year recording career, Bruce Springsteen has been a little bit of everything–a Dylan rip-off, a rock savior, a perceived sell-out, a miscast poster boy for the Reagan campaign, a shadow of himself, a renaissance man, and an amazing comeback story. Not least of these, Bruce Springsteen has been one of the definitive impresarios [...]
Placebo over the Meds, readies new experiment
The world hasn’t seen much of Placebo recently; following their stint on the 2007 edition of Projekt Revolution, the English outfit has for most part remained away from the limelight, aside from a few one-off appearances here or there. However, come June, this will likely all change when Brian Molko and Co. officially unveil their [...]
Sonic Youth drums up excitement by…staying weird?
The days of Sonic Youth‘s debut on Matador Records are quickly approaching, and while the legendary outfit won’t need much help selling the currently untitled effort, which is due for release this summer, the New Yorkers, particularly one Thurston Moore, sure are hyping the hell out of it. Ok, so maybe that wasn’t his ultimate [...]
John Mayer dabbles in variety?
Is there anyone luckier than John Mayer? After several platinum, Grammy-winning records, playing with nearly every blues legends alive today, selling out tours at amphitheaters every summer, and dating the finest women in Hollywood, including Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jessica Simpson, and most recently Jennifer Aniston, you would think Mayer would have enough to brag about. [...]
Album Review: A.C. Newman – Get Guilty
A.C. Newman has a lot of questions that seem to need answers on his latest solo effort, Get Guilty. The Canadian native, co-brain behind indie music’s biggest pop rock icons, The New Pornographers, has helped pen some of the catchiest tunes to date, each one with mainstream cross over potential, and endless commercial possibilities as [...]
