New York City may not boast too many tranquil sands, while its familial ethicality may also be conceivably questioned yet more than compensating for all that schtuff (or lack of) is 18yo Lucia Arias' Beach Moms . First encountered before bloating out over Christmas via this emotionally inflamed take on Craft Spells' Your Tomb , latest cut Dance To Dances is a rather more fleshy hunk that initially recalls Real Estate's subtly superlative eponymous debut, before flaring up and out into an effervescent sonic blotch of sprightly verve that embodies more wild life than a worldwide tour with Martin Courtney et ...

"The beginning is over. The end hasn't come yet. All I care about is now." - Nucky Thompson - Wise words from Mr. Thompson, erstwhile bootlegger and burgeoning mafia man incarnate of Boardwalk Empire. But to fully concern ourselves with the now we also have to look back, take a little pilfer through the banks of what has come before in order to concern ourselves with the pressing matters of today.  2011 was another great year for music, the old vanguard was in full force with stellar records coming from the amazing PJ Harvey, a reformed The Feelies, Mogwai, Radiohead, Tom ...

Si a principios del mes de noviembre del pasado año Real Estate nos presentaba un video en el que nos mostraban su gran amor por los perros, ahora la banda sigue en la línea de videoclips poco convencionales para seguir promocionando su último disco de estudio, Days. Presentando su tema “Easy”, a Martin Courtney y compañía no se les ha ocurrido otra cosa que inventarse una divertida historia con un street team de seguidores bastante fanáticos. Los primeros segundos nos parecen los típicos fans que intentan dar a conocer a...

#30 - The Horrors – Skying There’s no doubt upon first hearing of The Horrors’ new LP that these boys have yet again taken a different route. Skying’s opening track, ‘Changing The Rain’, sets the tone of an easy-going haze that continues throughout this farewell to the psycho-rock sound of their previous offerings. It’s soaked up the resurgence of shoegaze that has dominated much of the indie scene for the last few years like an arid sponge, and sounds all the better for them having paid such close attention. (Hayley Leaver) #29: Lykke Li - Wounded Rhymes In a rich ...

Dreamy. Chillwave. Sun. Sand. Sea. There's a series of fairly self-explanatory go-to words and images conjured by Real Estate and routinely used to describe their effortlessly laid-back sound. For that reason, I shall attempt to avoid using them. Following up their sunkissed self-titled debut, Real Estate’s Days continues in the same leisurely fashion , sophomore slumping its way through a dreamy chillwave landscape of sun, sand and... goddamnit. Rather than demanding attention, the New Jersey outfit’s oeuvre tends to meander in the background: taking the stage in a similarly unassuming fashion, Martin Courtney & co open with Suburban Dogs ...
