After much thought, I decided that I wasn’t satisfied with my original list, nor my execution of it. I have done a lot of reviewing and listening over the last few weeks for both the Decade-End and Year-End celebration that you will see here in the coming weeks. This has helped me ...

The Notwist somehow commissioned this rare Grizzly Bear remix for their upcoming single “Come In”. Grizzly Bear bring something new to the table, something they didn’t quite touch base on with their latest release, Veckatimest . It’s curious though, I mean, can you ...

Photo Courtesy of Force Field PR Neon Indian, whose album perplexed us, has remixed Grizzly Bear’s “Cheerleader” — off the PMA-adored Veckatimest — not once, but twice. As expected, the remixes sound like Grizzly Bear through a psychedelic lo-fi filter. What ...

Goddamn this Graphics EP is good. It’s one man from New Jersey… channeling Battles, 1980’s Vangelis synths, pop-song chord progressions, Hot Chip electro-blips and bloops, and well… to be honest, I’m doing the improbably-named Dayve Hawk a disservice by limiting him with comparisons to ...

Bear in Heaven is another indie band with synths from Brooklyn, and “Lovesick Teenagers” is another minor-key, moderately down-tempo song for lying in bed and staring at the ceiling. And you know what? it’s pretty damn good — the synth line finds that groove — the beauty of ...

I know we haven’t put up the results for best album of 2007 yet, but I wanted to move onto the voting for 2008 because, if you haven’t noticed, we’re at the end of November almost and we have quite a lot to do still on our end. A lot of fantastic debuts made our list in ...

Photo by AnthoNYC/ Tastes Like Caramel We’ve already raved about Sleigh Bells’ debut Magic Metal, and “Crown on the Ground” was the stand-out track of an EP that “really hit it out of the park”. Its abrasive, relentless, “We Will Rock You” beat, and its distorted take on a ...

Understated percussion, suspended synths, and woozy keyboard chords: at first, Beach House’s latest, ‘Norway’, will come as no surprise to their fans, as it opens with elements that the duo are already known for. It’s the restless guitar arpeggio that enters a little later that hints at a ...
