The churning British BTW 2:54 landed on our radar in November thanks to their tracks “Scarlet” and “Got A Hold.” And judging by new single “You’re Early,” a swirling and soft dream-pop track with a surprisingly vicious low-end, they’re going to stay there. Listen to the track below; it’s well worth your four minutes. “You’re [...]
Country Living recently did a photo shoot at Neko Case’s Vermont farm, a 100-acre property with a 225-year-old farm house in Vermont’s Green Mountains. A few notable things — mostly, Neko is paid, y’all — but there’s probably nothing more notable than the kitchen piano, which “she rescued from a nearby frat house” (but how [...]
Mark McGuire, guitarist for synth-droners Emeralds, has teamed up with Skaters’ Spencer Clarke, recording under his Charles Berlitz pseudonym, to release a new album called Inner Tube, which is already out. Below, check out the album track “MR,” named in honor of surf legend Mark Richards. It finds McGuire adding a certain buoyant bounce to [...]
Mirroring is a new project that pairs up two women who are truly excellent at making diffuse, spaced-out, vaguely ominous home-recorded ambient music: Liz Harris, better known as Grouper, and Jesy Fortino, who records as Tiny Vipers. The two joined forces to record a new album called Foreign Body that’ll arrive next month. And below, [...]
“DoYaThing,” the previously-announced blockbuster collaboration from the Gorillaz, James Murphy, and Andre 3000 is now online in radio-rip form, and we’ve got it streaming below. As promised, Damon Albarn quasi-raps a couple of verses before Andre jumps onto the track and generally rips him to shreds. Also, Murphy sings the chorus in a weirdly squeaky [...]
Well, here’s a pretty ridiculous story. Tim Burgess, frontman of the early-’90s-vintage Madchester rock band Charlatans UK, was apparently hanging out on Twitter recently and mused that someone should make a cereal called Totes Amazeballs, which is exactly the sort of goofy-ass thing that aging rock stars say on Twitter all the time. And the [...]
Philly choogle-rock crew Dr. Dog’s new album Be The Void has already yielded one music video, for “That Old Black Hole.” Today, it gets another, for “Warrior Man.” In the clip, co-frontman Toby Leaman shows off a nifty new pseudo-fauxhawk while the band goes about the mundane business of being a band. Watch it at [...]
The former Jam frontman and general all-around Brit-rock icon Paul Weller has a new album called Sonik Kicks coming out, and it features guest appearances from spiritual descendents like Noel Gallagher and Blur’s Graham Coxon. And in the video for the buoyantly catchy first single “The Dangerous Age,” he sings while surrounded by the sort [...]

Factory is releasing a humongous Grateful Dead DVD anthology called All The Years Combine in April, and today we’re giving away two copies of the 14-disc set, which includes: The Grateful Dead Movie (2-DVD) (Theatrical film, originally released in 1977) The Closing Of Winterland (2-DVD) (Winterland Ballroom, San Francisco, CA, December 31, 1978) Dead [...]
The Great American Canyon Band is built around the married duo of Paul and Krystal Jean Masson. Their new single “Tumbleweed,” the first thing we’ve heard from a forthcoming single, is a gorgeous piece of desert-blasted country-rock that seems custom-built for road trips. Download the single below. The Great American Canyon Band – “Tumbleweed” The [...]
