Die Indie-Popper Yeasayer verkünden Neuigkeiten bezüglich ihres kommenden Langspielers "Fragant World". Der selbstproduzierte Nachfolger ihres 2010er Albums " Odd Blood " wird am 17. August in die deutschen Plattenläden wandern und hat laut eigenen Aussagen einen dunkleren, weniger poppigen Sound. Ein erster Vorbote dieses Klangs war hierzu bereits die erste Single " Henrietta ", welche »hier als kostenfreier Download verfügbar ist. Bis zur Veröffentlichung im Spätsommer vertreiben sich die Drei die Zeit mit einer Tour durch mehrere Länder, die unter dem Motto "Summer 2012 + Shows + New Songs?" stattfinden wird. Im Folgenden könnt ihr in den ersten Track hineinhören und schon mal einen Blick auf ...

"I feel like nothing", Stephen Immerwahr deferentially proffers on the standout title track to the  Barely Real  EP and although NYC dreamweavers  Codeine  may never have made the seismic splash their featherweight, if stylistically and thematically hefty back catalogue – here remastered – indubitably ought to have, the very release of this here thing intimates a greater cultural relevance than perhaps initially envisaged and with it, a subsequent longevity extended beyond that which they may once have deemed. It's like an artist whose canvases skyrocket in value in the wake of premature demise although quite thankfully, the band still scuff heels ...

The French house DJ returns with his fifth solo album, and with it a top contender for best Electro album of 2012. Interspersed with rattling cymbals and echoing harmonies, the *"M" Megamix* is an all too aurally satisfying escapade that leaves you yearning for a night of strong alcohol and packed...

Email collaborations – a phrase to make any music fan shudder. Sure, the web is bringing us all closer together but in artistic terms little can top sitting eyeball to eyeball with your musical collaborator. There are exceptions, though, as newcomers Cymbals seem destined to prove. Hooking up with Tough Love, Cymbals delivered a fantastic mini-album earlier this year. All off-kilter guitar lines, shuddering, homemade electronics and surreal lyrics ‘Sideways Sometimes’ earned a place on the Clash stereo from the off. Recently taking some down time, the band parted company. Keeping in touch online, Cymbals quickly started to dissect new ideas ...

Brighton-based alternative rock duo *Red Shoes">Blood Red Shoes* recently toured the UK promoting their album *In Time To Voices*. Their angst-ridden vocals accompanied by grungy guitar and crashing cymbals and drums, were suitably set against a smoke-filled, backlit stage. These photographs were taken at...

Die US-amerikanischen Indie-Popper Yeasayer melden sich mit einem neuen Song namens "Henrietta" zurück. Dieser ist zum einen ein Dankeschön an die treuesten Fans und Newsletter-Abonennten, welche das Stück aktuell in CD-Form zugeschickt bekommen. Auf der anderen Seite fungiert das Werk als Soundtrack für die anstehende Sommertour der Band, die unter dem Motto "Summer 2012 + Shows + New Songs?" stattfinden wird. Im vergangenen Jahr präsentierte die Gruppe mit "The Devil And The Deed" bereits neues Material aus eigener Feder ( motor.de berichtete ). Wann genau der Nachfolger des vielumjubelten 2010er Albums " Odd Blood " erscheinen wird, ist aktuell noch unklar. In den neuen Titel ...

Sultry, late-night vibes color this smooth, carved-from-stone piece of house music from London's Citizen (an artist we've heard before ). An unreleased cut that precedes his four-track Deep End EP, "Members Only" gallops on some soulfully screwed vocals spliced with classic Chicago-era cymbals, thumping with maximum-strength kicks until plush chords enter the fray to dominate the rest of the proceedings. With quick pivots and cut-outs, Citizen keeps the track fresh before spiraling into a second half rife with whispered snippets of conversation adding an eerie, yet alluring percussive backing to the jam's conclusion. Heavy on style but pumped ...

[Photos by acidjack] We have featured Cymbals Eat Guitars several times on this site (most recently, a headlining Bowery show from last year), and we have always found their willingness to take risks refreshing. Not content to simply rework the more poppy sound of their breakout album, Why There Are Mountains, the band remain unafraid to [...]

Photography by Tim Boddy I was somewhere in the midst of Camden, on the edge of a lock, when the rum began to take hold. I remember saying something like "I feel a bit lightheaded, maybe we should go and see some folk music…" and suddenly there was a terrible roar all around and a wall of noise, swooping and screeching and diving, was blaring forth a nightmare post-punk ruckus. And a voice was screaming, "Holy Jesus! Who are these goddamn animals?" These animals were Toronto-based trio Odonis Odonis , a guttural temple punch that may have not been the most ...

Debut cassette EP from this Syracuse bunch. SSWAMPZZ are driving dead set into lo-fi aesthetics to tag along with plenty of other sloppy shit going on that at times get kind of sludgy. Tinny sounding guitars and crashing cymbals pushed to the front, but that’s really all overpowered here by bass, giving these tunes something meatier to listen to rather than just ear piercing feedback and hiss. I’m a bit perplexed by this EP as the noisier side of the band is fine and all, but then they bust out something a bit more impressive with “Pools” that ...

Following the release of CYMBALS latest EP 'Sideways, Sometimes', out now on Tough Love Records, the band unveil a new remix for EP single 'No Bad Decisions' by US psychedelic pop maverick Lazy Hurricane, which is available as a free download. Download the track for free HERE:

Ellos perciben que irónicamente van en contra de lo que actualmente pasa en la escena indie del este de Londres, puesto le apuestan a la sencillez y loops electrónicos.
