Parks, Squares And Alleys – ‘Youth’
Singer and guitarist Sergey Khavro is the solo artist behind Parks, Squares And Alleys – the lo-fi, bedroom pop project based in Khabarovsk, Eastern Russia. These dreamy melodies came to light following the demise of Sergey’s former band (Walrus Meditation) and led to the debut LP ‘Memories‘ in 2011. Parks, Squares And Alleys recently posted a new single called ‘Youth‘ which is quickly gathering a bevy of new supporters.

You Are Not Real – ‘I Remember Experiencing…’
Creepy cover art huh!? Right up in your retinas! It’s a surprise to hit play and find a contrasting wave of chilled awesomeness! I don’t know much about You Are Not Real, other than it comes from the UK and they’d “rather stay anonymous”.

Take a listen to the first official single from Weekend‘s new album ‘Jinx’, out July 23 via Slumberland!

Deerhunter – ‘Monomania’
Deerhunter have unveiled the raucous title track to their new album ‘Monomania‘, out May 7 through 4AD (see Jimmy Fallon live performance). And its a loud one, kinda like Marc Boland throwing a tantrum on a pedal board. Well, not really… but its an exciting listen. It just gets increasingly more impulsive and out of control. Gotta love rock n’ roll spaz attacks! That’s my thought for the day. Leading man Bradford Cox has said the record is more avante garde, guess we’ll find out next month! *counts the days*
