To call them multi-instrumentalists might be a little overdone. The kids in Freelance Whales are really just collectors, at heart. They don’t really fancy buffalo nickels or Victorian furniture, but over the past two years, they’ve been collecting instruments, ghost stories, and dream-logs. Somehow, from this strange compost heap of little sounds and quiet thoughts, [...]

Twin Falls - 'Janie I Will Only Let You Down' Official Promo from Twin Falls on Vimeo . Here's another one that isn't new but it's nu2me and an incredibly chill tune so I had to post it. From what I can tell, "Janie I Will Only Let You Down" has been around for nearly 3 years now and in that time has been redone quite a few times as I found a couple of different versions of this one. The song itself seems to tell a tale of love lost and lost identity but somehow comes off as ...

Amnesty International are set to release a huge 4 disc compilation of tributes to legendary songwriter Bob Dylan to celebrate its 50 years of existence and 50 years of Dylans music. The campaigning organisation was founded in 1962 which was the same year Bob Dylans self titled debut album dropped. Amnesty Internationals head of music relations Karen Scott said of Dylans music, "Bob Dylan’s music endures because he so brilliantly captures our heartbreak, our joy, our frailty, our confusion, our courage and our struggles. We at Amnesty International are deeply grateful to this legendary musician and to all of ...

A new Bob Dylan tribute album is in the works, with all funds going towards Amnesty International. Now in his 70s, Bob Dylan's work retains a rare potency. Rock's poet laureate, the songwriter must surely rank as one of the most covered artists of all time, with his output being re-worked around the globe. Now a massive box set aims to bring together a series of cover versions. 'Chimes Of Freedom' contains 75 tracks, with some 80 musicians helping to bring the box set together. The tracks move throughout the songwriter's career, including all facets of Bob ...

The Naked And Famous is a name that in 2011 you've slowly become more familiar with. First, it was that ever-so-catchy hit "Young Blood" that you couldn't help but smile the second the synth kicked in with those unforgettable notes. Then it was a tour with indie darlings Foals and Freelance Whales.

Now, the band have come into their own as New Zealand’s finest import since kiwis with sold out tour dates across the country on their last American tour,…
