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 ...

Das britische Indie-Quartett Bombay Bicycle Club veröffentlich Anfang Juli "Beg" als Single. Ganz neu ist der Track jedoch nicht, er befindet sich nämlich ursprünglich auf der iTunes-Version ihres dritten Langspielers " A Different Kind Of Fix ". Auf diesem Album erfanden sich die Jungs zumindest musikalisch ein wenig neu - vom eingängigen, folkigen Sound des Vorgängers "Flaws" wendeten sie sich damit deutlich ab. Stattdessen gesellen sich Synthie-Flächen und Experementierfreude zum eigenen Klang hinzu. Im motor.de-Interview erzählte Jamie MacColl, welche Rolle Live-Auftritte für die Band spielen. Hört hier in den kommenden Song hinein: Bombay Bicycle Club - "Beg" Bombay Bicycle Club sind ziemlich aktiv ...

First off, take note, Boston: The next edition of NEW MUSIC NIGHT , during which Jay Clicky Clicky and myself take to the River Gods DJ booth in Cambridge and play nothing but carefully-chosen new songs, takes place this coming Thursday, May 24th, 2012. Got it? Good. The last time our every-other-month event went down, I was sadly absent *. Yes, among the casualties of the soul-crushing sickness I came down with in mid-March was my planned appearance at that 5th edition of NMN, but before I succumbed, I was able to pull together a pretty spiffy setlist, if I do say ...

We can't tell you a lot about Wellington singer-songwriter Craig Elliot, but we can tell you that his new album - Fire For The Red Corner - is well worth a listen. His hushed vocal style recalls the late Elliot Smith but his music is overall much more...

My roommate @slick_brad asked me if I was doing okay cause I was listening to Elliot Smith. (Taken with instagram )

As a longtime fan of musical moments in Wes Anderson movies (Nico’s version of “These Days” and Elliott Smith’s “Needle in the Hay” for The Royal Tenenbaums, the Stones and Cat Stevens in Rushmore, etc.), the soundtrack to his latest film, Moonrise Kingdom, is of particular interest around here. Most notable, perhaps, is its heavy Hank Williams [...]

This week's "Albums That Changed My Life" contributor is Kevin Devine! Kevin will be spending this summer on his first coast-to-coast solo tour since 2006, supporting mewithoutYou. Check out the full routing here . Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction For the record, I was one of those 13 year olds who converted to indie rock via "Nevermind" and that was that, and furthermore I currently think Axl Rose is a sick, sad, massively uncool guy. That said, this album was MINE before any other music was. I was obsessed from first hearing "Sweet Child O' Mine" in my cousin ...

"We were born with sun in our teeth and in our hair" , croons Bethany Cosentino on the opening lines of her sophomore release "The Only Place" - summing up the ethos of Best Coast right off the bat and setting the tone for the rest of the album. In a conscious effort to move away from her image as the adorable pot-smoking, cat-loving California girl who thought that Jimmy Buffett invented chillwave, Cosentino has stepped slightly out of the lo-fi fuzz of Best Coast's summer-of-'10-defining debut LP "Crazy For You" and into smoother, clearer territory whilst retaining the warm ...

Avengers ? Whatever. Skinnyhot new Spiderman? Pshaw. If you’re looking for Thrills! Do-goodery! Sweet soundtracks! And Excitement! Well , my fellow inhabitants of the real non-cartoon world, with its blissful lack of dudes flying around in spandex and its sad overabundance of villainy and bad behavior, when you need all-around heroes, look no further than Radiohead and their team. After all, when these guys aren’t making killer, innovative jams, they’re creating Artistic and Political Statements, and just generally saving the Earth through documentaries and good causes. And now, Radiohead Producer Nigel Godrich is striking out on his own with ...

Dafür hat sich Godrich mit dem Schlagzeuger und Produzenten Joey Waronker zusammengetan. Dieser verfügt ebenfalls über exzellente Erfahrung als Produzent — er hat ebenfalls für Beck, zudem Elliott Smith und die Smashing Pumpkins gearbeitet. Außerdem ist die Londoner Künstlerin Laura Bettinson mit von der Partie. Von der ersten fertigen Ultraísta-Produktion mit dem Titel "Smalltalk" könnt ihr euch hier einen Eindruck verschaffen: Ultraísta - "Smalltalk" 2010 ist Godrich mit seinem ...
