Koji, Kurt Travis, and Bearcat just recently finished up a full US tour with Never Shout Never. The tours over, but we’ve put all three artists together for a great new PropertyOfZack Playlist feature. Check out the Playlists and listen to the songs on Spotify while reading everyone’s thoughts! (Click on image to listen in Spotify) IT’S SPRING TIME. SOUTHERN MUSIC IS WHAT’S GOOD. First thing you should know, my favorite singer is—without a doubt—Otis Redding. “Dock of the Bay” is one of the first songs I ever heard, ever learned. Secondly, B.B ...

Jagjaguwar’s new signing is the Olympia, WA-meets-NYC duo of Sam France and Jonathan Rado, who make freewheeling, ’60s psych-inspired rock. Ariel Pink comparisons aren’t totally off-base, but I’d say present day MGMT is a closer comparison. The song in question today, “Make It Known,” ratchets through some cool ideas without ever settling on one, where [...]

[mp3] Foxygen: "Abandon My Toys" Foxygen , the newest signing to Jagjaguwar, purvey a careening, freewheeling style of vintage 70s post-rock, mixed with elements of radio friendly pop. The youth of this duo, Sam France (vocals, Olympia,Wash., 22 years old) and Jonathan Rado (guitar/keyboards, NYC, 22),  is strikingly apparent in their musical schizophrenia. Yet these ramshackle songs are enough for all of us to take notice. The easiest touch points here are The Velvet Underground and Ariel Pink - maybe a little Stones. The press release notes The Kinks in several places, but while perhaps Kinks-esque in some sonic elements ...

INT. BROOKLYN APARTMENT Empty mugs, books, beer bottles, and cassette tapes cover the coffee table. Polaroids cover one wall. A denim jacket hangs from the doorknob. SAM and ZAK are best friends. They are also members of a dream-noise-punk band called Beach University. They sit on a floral sofa that SAM found at a yard sale, where she also purchased a few Neil Young albums and set of tea cups. They are watching Twin Peaks. SAM has her laptop open, because she has already seen both seasons four times. She squints through her round, oversized glasses. SAM What the shit ...

Zed Penguin From: Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom The hulk's diet is going very well I know very little about eccentric Edinburgher Zed Penguin other than his name is Matthew Winter and you won't like him when he's angry. This Town  sounds like a refugee from The White Album if Lennon had replaced McCartney with Ariel Pink. It's a left field contender for a place in the Devil's top ten tracks of the year.  Go Try   This Town by Zed Penguin Go Visit Zed Penguin - Facebook : Bandcamp Go View Zed Penguin Keep On Truckin'

John Maus released We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves ( TMT Review ) to world-spanning acclaim last year (making #7 on our own year-end list ), but did you know that this was not his debut album? Of course, no shit it wasn’t! Love Is Real came out four years before that, and Songs ( TMT Review ) was even earlier. But did you know that John Maus was making music long before the release of Songs ? Of course, no shit he did! He’s been associated with Ariel Pink since the late 90s. Well good, I’m glad you know so ...

Welcome to the first edition of The 405 Record Club ! No, we haven't started some sort of mail-order record shop, though that would be pretty sweet, right? No? Ok. Basically 'The 405 Record Club' is about analysing an album over a two-week period, then discussing it with the other members of the group. Essentially it's a book club for music, minus the cheese and wine (though that's not a rule set in stone). If you fancy joining the club, please email hello@thefourohfive.com with '405 Record Club' in the title. Name: Daniel Johnston Album: 'Continued Story ...

Today’s song is “Be My Bone” by No Monster Club. This song is off the band’s album Dublin.
