Download: THE KNOCKS – ALL WE GOT (BRENTON DUVALL REMIX FT. ONE ROOM & KARDINAL OFFISHALL)   When did you start producing music? Can you remember the first track you ever made? I started playing guitar when I was like 10 or 12. It all kinda coincided with the Apple come up I guess. Once I figured out what GarageBand was, I started learning about recording, taught myself to play piano and shit, rarely for making beats but like little 8 track demos with guitars and bass and piano. The demos were way shitty but it taught me alot. I guess I started ...

In the second of our new series, Tom Service writes about Pauline Oliveros, whose sonic explorations take on life, the universe and everything Nearly sixty years ago, Pauline Oliveros found her mantra. "Listen to everything all the time and remind yourself when you are not listening". This simple but transformative thought has filled her life in music. Oliveros (born in 1932), then in her early 20s and living in San Francisco, turned a tape recorder on, and, listening back to the sounds she had preserved, heard things that she had not realised were happening in real time – and a philosophy ...

Fast rising newcomers Outfit have revealed a few more details about their new EP 'Another Night's Dreams Reach Earth Again'. Outfit seem to quite naturally prompt Romantic allusions. The band's often other-worldly electronics are quite distinct, quite unique and defy categorisation. Reading their through press thus far, it's funny to note that their hometown in the Wirral has been re-cast as a post-modern No-Man's Land. It's not. It's the Wirral. New EP 'Another Night's Dreams Reach Earth Again' should only enhance their reputation. Coming out on the always excellent Double Denim label, Outfit ...

American Meat Dir. Graham Meriwether [Leave It Better; 2012] by Paul Bower Rating: “I am a good liberal hypocrite. I eat meat, but only abstract meat… I absolutely cannot eat anything that reminds me directly of an animal — chicken should be abstract. Chicken to me is McNuggets.” –Slavoj Žižek Americans’ conflicted relationship with the industry standard for sourcing their animal protein immediately brings to mind several zany quotes by Slavoj Žižek. The above is just one of my faves. However, over and above supplying the West’s favorite socialist philosopher-comedian with fodder for punchy criticism, this relationship also serves as ...

Sharks released their fantastic debut,  No Gods , just a week or two ago via our friends at Rise Records. The band was kind enough to write-up a Track-By-Track guide to the album for fans. Check it out below! ‘Til The Wonders Rise Andy originally had written the opening riff to use for a song in our hardcore punk side project. But we needed a ripper to start the album so we used it. We’d envisioned this opening the record as soon as we started it so crammed as much good stuff in there as possible.    Arcane Effigies I have ...

Canyons Keep Your Dreams [Modular; 2011] by Daniel Sargeant Rating: It’s become apparent that contemporary albums that fall into the wayward category of Interesting Dance have started to follow a template, opening with a slow build, adding lines and gussying those glittery atmospherics for about a minute, before dropping into some straightforward two-note bass line and trying to find a new way to count to four. After that, they range over their synths for 70 minutes while leaving no aural element digitally untreated, making sure to tackle any vocalists who wander into their studio thinking maybe it’s the ...

Anthony Ciccone , brother of Madonna, has significantly fewer homes than his sister. If there's a good thing to come out of the story, it's that it does give a celebrity angle for the otherwise pretty-much-ignored homelessness crisis to force its way into the newspapers: “My family turned their back on me, basically, when I was having a hard time,” he said. “You think I haven’t answered this kind of question a bazillion times — why my sister is a multibazillionarie, and I’m homeless on the street?” “Never say never,” he said. “This could happen to anybody.” “I ...

The Rolling Stones could be set to unveil a blue plaque for their 50th anniversary next year. The Rolling Stones' anniversary rumours rumble on. The legendary rockers have been inactive for almost five years, with Mick Jagger currently working with the 'super group' project SuperHeavy. With their 50th anniversary looming, The Rolling Stones have been linked with a world tour. The band recently met up in London, with the fan-led rumour mill immediately going into overdrive. Doing their best to dampen expectations, the band have admitted that a reformation is unlikely. However the seminal group could still be awarded a ...

Die Indie-Folker von Band Of Horses waren kürzlich in der Latenight-Show Conan zu Gast, wo sie ihren Song "Infinite Arms" präsentierten. Er stammt vom gleichnamigen Album, das vor etwa einem Jahr erschienen ist. Weil ihnen jener Hauch von fehlender Präzision, der durch das Live-Spielen leicht entsteht, so ungemein gut steht, handelt es sich bei dem Quintett um eine dieser Gruppen, die auf der Bühne fast noch besser klingen als auf Platte. Seht darum den bewegten Auftritt und beobachtet Ben Bridwells putzig verkniffenen Gesichtsausdruck während seiner Pfeif-Einlage: Band Of Horses - "Infinite Arms" Mit " Infinite Arms " veröffentlichten die fünf Amerikaner schon zum ...
