I went to another gig with my mother. There. I said it. I like that my family- mother, father, brothers, possible future in-law can all go watch acts like Deerhunter and THE BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE. It’s fucking great.  Yes. Last Thursday, the boyfriend and I ventured into the Sydney CBD to taste the tantalising shoegaze goodness [...]

Atlas Sound est le projet solo du leader de Deerhunter, Bradford Cox, à l’occasion duquel on assiste au développement d’un courant de conscience qui dévoile toute la beauté de sa voix rauque et d’une atmosphère mêlant rock garage et éléctro. Sur Let the blind… Cox mélange les instruments rock tels que harpe, voix languissante, pour [...]

In early 2010, Spoon played New York's Radio City Music Hall with openers Deerhunter and Strange Boys. As YouTube footage records for posterity, Wolf Parade's Dan Boeckner joined the Austin indie rockers on stage, helping out on Spoon's "I Saw the Light" and leading a howling

Lower Dens - Nootropics Record Label - Ribbon Music Release Date - May 1st, 2012 Some years ago, when Silver Jews frontman Dave Berman called Radiohead " gray ," it's hard to think that he didn't have another band and another album in mind.   Nootropics , the second release from Jana Hunter fronted Lower Dens, slow-churns its way through your speakers like a psychedelic sci-fi iceberg.  It is, unabashedly, gray. The title originates from smart drugs (natural or otherwise) which improve brain function.  While this album doesn't appear (from quite a few listens) to be the indie equivalent of Baby Mozart, what makes ...

De alguna manera, Lotus Plaza es a Lockett Pundt lo que Atlas Sound a Bradford Cox. O sea, los proyectos paralelos de la banda estadounidense Deerhunter. Si bien ninguno iguala el nivel de esta última, son trabajos, por lo menos, interesantes. De ahí la probabilidad que un auditor atento que escuche por primera vez a [...]

Visit Indie Shuffle to download. Sounds like: Wild Nothing, Twin Sister, Deerhunter Song: Beach House - The Hours [download here ] What's so good? It’s always quite distressing when artists debut a new album, especially when their former releases was such a success. Can they live up to the hype? Do they sound completely different? Have they sold out? These are questions music critics and fans always ask themselves in reaction and response to what they hear but rarely does an album spark fresh intrigue and nostalgia at the same time. With the triumph of Teen Dream under their belts ...

The solo warped outpourings of Tennessee's Ryan Boos, Nomadic Firs' self-titled record is something of a anomaly in that it had been gestating for six years, is a pastiche of colours and ideas that have coalesced into finite songs, and yet is cohesive much farther beyond what is thought possible from such an amalgam of sounds and grooves. Reminiscent of the breakout hazy debut album by Unknown Mortal Orchestra (especially on 'Vines'). There is a rustic underbelly to these jams that echoes from Boos' rustic life (he owns a petite farm with his wife), and it is these pastoral ...

Adelaide’s Leader Cheetah are heading back into writing mode for a follow-up record their sophomore album Lotus Skies , but not before playing a run of final headline shows for the year. Kicking the tour off in their hometown at Jive, the band had advertised a night of fun and surprises, with classic LC songs to be churned out, as well as a hint of what we can be expecting from the band as they head into Album Three territory. The stigma Jive tends to have over its head, is that nobody really likes to turn up there before 9pm ...

Visit Indie Shuffle to download. Sounds like: Panda Bear, Deerhunter Song: Collective">Animal Collective - Gotham [download here ] What's so good? Woah, wasn’t expecting this! Collective">Animal Collective have just released a new song “Gotham,” which will come as part of a new 7″ single titled Honeycomb / Gotham . It’s pretty much the first thing I’ve heard since their experimental “visual album” ODDSAC . As expected, the track is totally wonky and experimental. There are times that I can’t get into Collective">Animal Collective, but “Gotham” is definitely tolerable. You can pre-order a digital download / 7″ via Domino ...

There isn't much that comes out of the Deerhunter collective's stable that I am not a fan of, and whilst it's Bradford Cox's antics that gain most of the attention, the rest aren't laying idle either. Guitarist Lockett Pundt's output as Lotus Plaza is nothing to be sneezed at, and on latest LP Spooky Action At A Distance he truly comes into his own. Sure, tracks such as 'Strangers' don't stray too far from the DH format of shimmering sunny psych shoegaze (hope you can pronounce your s's - that phrase is a ...
