Sigur Ros – 'Festival (Live from Inni)'
It’s been more than three years since Iceland’s Sigur Ros released their last studio album, ‘Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust’ (good luck pronouncing that!) So it’s only fitting (and financially savvy) to make a comeback that reminds fans of their back catalogue. The live concert film and album ‘Inni‘ aims to do just [...]

Minks – ‘Araby’
Minks are back! After re-living Minks’ album ‘By The Hedge‘ recently we’re blessed with new music in the form of the ‘Araby’ single via Captured Tracks. ‘Araby’ will be officially released on October 11 as they ready another full length for 2012. ‘Araby’ isn’t a step into the unknown for the Brooklyn duo, the jangly [...]

Gauntlet Hair – ‘Keep Time’
Gauntlet Hair’s ‘Keep Time’ sounds like crunchy indie pop recorded in an echo chamber. There’s a deep sea of reverb over the whole mix, giving the guitars and drums plenty of space to fly about. ‘Keep Time’ is the latest single made public from their debut self-titled album, available on October 18 (a day earlier [...]

Gem Club – 'Black Ships'
Swoon! Gem Club‘s new record ‘Breakers’ was released yesterday and I’m in love. Over the past few month’s ‘Breakers‘ and ‘Twins‘ have been revealed in all their captivating glory, now they’re backed up with seven more quality creations. Gem Club‘s latest is full of space; notes pause, vocals linger, there’s heaps of breathing room to [...]

Youth Lagoon – 'Afternoon'
Bedroom producer Trevor Powers aka Youth Lagoon releases his debut album ‘The Year Of Hibernation‘ today. After crafting haunting songs like ‘July’ and ‘Montana’ it was a surprise to hear the album cut ‘Afternoon’ which is far more playful. The child-like whistled melody caught me out, especially against the dancey bass drum. Take a listen [...]

Tamaryn – 'Love Fade'
Atmospheric shoegaze duo Tamaryn have announced they’re currently working on a follow up to 2010’s ‘Waves’. If you missed Tamaryn’s track ‘Sandstone’ then I recommend a listen. ‘Waves’ was full of sonic mangling, with overblown guitars against Tamaryn’s husky vocals. Whereas ‘Love Fade’ demonstrates a sedate side, it’s more dreamlike than an aural assault. If [...]

On November 15 Odonis Odonis will release a full length debut titled ‘Hollandaze’. Since starting out in 2010, some indie heavyweights have contributed to Odonis Odonis including engineer Alan Douches (Beach House, [...]

Nirvana – 'Live At The Paramount' (Live In Sydney)
It’s now been twenty years since Nirvana‘s ‘Nevermind’ was released. To celebrate the milestone, Nirvana’s homecoming show after the release of ‘Nevermind’ in 1991 was screened publicly for the first time in select cinemas across Australia on September 23, 2011. Why Australia was picked for a Nirvana premiere I have no idea, but I was [...]

Still Corners – 'Into The Trees'
Still Corners deliver cinematic, slow motion pop on ‘Into The Trees’ – a new cut from their upcoming debut album ‘Creatures Of An Hour’. The London based group manage to produce a 60s feel with their indie pop tunes combined with a dream pop sheen. Earlier singles ‘Endless Summer’ and ‘Cuckoo’ show the depth and [...]

Weekend – 'The One You Want'
Weekend’s long lusted for ‘Red’ EP was released this week. The Californian post-punk outfit scored big on the blogosphere with the ‘Red’ EP’s lead track ‘Hazel’. It’s a winner! But there are more tunes to dig into. Between the dark and distant ‘Your Own Nothing’ and the closer ‘Golfers’, lies a bright and shiny gem [...]
