[Another year passes, a couple more end-of-year Best Ofs rear their pretty heads.  Well... pretty to me, anyway.  All of the following tunes appeared on previous 2011 mixes here, of which there were 16, ultimately.  In choosing my favorite 41 songs of the year, I of course made use of my ears, gut, and -- dare I say -- heart.  These were the ones that got into my head and under my skin -- the ones I couldn't keep out.  Hope they resonate somewhere/somehow/someway with you, as well.] [All songs @ 320 kbps] Left-click [ HERE ] to download the BEST OF 2011 ...

La banda neoyoruina regresará a México en el mes de mayo, luego de su extraña participación en el Corona Music Fest.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah es una banda que marcó un punto de inflexión en el indie rock durante la década pasada, sobretodo con su homónimo álbum debut de 2005 del cual conocemos éxitos como “The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth” y “Is This Love?” La banda neoyorkina visitó nuestro país en 2006 en [...]

Over the first few years of our existence, we welcomed one of our favorite writers, David Schultz of the Earvolution staff, to contribute features and reviews from time to time. It’s been a while since his last post for Hidden Track, but we’re happy to announce that will change in 2012 as today marks his first every-other-week column for us. David’s column, titled Hitting The Trunk Road , will offer a mix of reviews, opinions, editorializing and the like. For his first piece, David brings some much needed perspective into the conversation about Phish’s New Year’s ...

Ponctuée de quelques déceptions, 2011 est pour moi une mauvaise année musicale. Metronmy d’abord, qui signe un album globalement en deçà de ses deux opus précédents. Feist qui sombre dans la recherche ésotérique et The kills qui tourne en rond. La pire déconvenue est certainement le dernier album de Clap Your Hands say Yeah. Une [...]

Devo dire che alla decima classifica dei dischi di fine anno suonata in radio pensavo avrei cominciato ad accusare un po' di stanchezza. Invece continuo a trovare divertente quel mettermi lì una sera di dicembre a cercare per casa e tra i vari computer tutti i dischi ascoltati, tornare sulle parole scritte qui o altrove per provare a raccontarli e racchiudere tutto in una sola istantanea. L'abituale disclaimer recita: questi non sono "i migliori dischi dell'anno secondo me", ma soltanto quelli che mi hanno fatto più compagnia nel 2011. Fate conto che sia un piccolo diario in musica ...

Confessions of a heretic…I went to last week’s Clap Your Hands Say Yeah show to see WATERS as I really had no idea what CYHSY sounded like. I watched the energy of the sold-out crowd explode when the band took the stage but, for whatever reason, the band’s music just wasn’t my cup of tea. I was trying to get a feel for the band’s music during the first few songs and, for whatever reason, i couldn't shake the jam band comparisons. CYHSY are certainly talented musicians but I have an innate bias against ...

10. KURT VILE "runner ups" Steve McQueen might be known as the "essence of cool", but Kurt Vile gave him a run for his money in 2011 with the laid back, word bending and extending track "Runner Ups".  Vile hits certain words like a hammer and creates a momentary spark of emotion that gently sinks back into the steady groove that drives the song from start to finish.  The track isn't flashy and neither is his wonderful album Smoke Ring For My Halo , but that's a compliment as Vile's music comes off as effortless, but the talent ...

Young Coconut is the new project from Dave Fox ( Lazu Lie , Childebeast ).  The Ontario-native has put the finishing touches on his new album Wrongin' The Rights . The record is a 9-track effort, brimming with eclectic lo-fi pop.  Many of the songs are quite busy and should appeal to those who like Clap Your Hands Say Yeah .
