Philadelphia “massed guitar” ensemble Mahogany have been away for about six years since the release of Connectivity! in 2006. When I reviewed the last proper Stereolab full-length, Chemical Chords , I made a comment about other bands (Mahogany, to be very specific) outdoing them at their own game. Although one might be tempted to call a six-year absence resting on laurels, Mahogany’s first new song from the forthcoming Electric Prisms EP reaches farther out than anything resembling Stereolab. “Keystone Sonata Arrangement VII” does away with the submerged female vocals and replaces them with a prominent male voice (Mahogany’s Andrew ...

Crooked Necks Alright Is Exactly What It Isn’t [Handmade Birds; 2011] by Gumshoe Rating: Crooked Necks zip so many curveballs at the listener it’s best to sit back and collect one’s thoughts when undergoing immersion into their world. Helmed by Shane Church (who also leads noise drillers Hostage Pageant) and a dude named Andy, Crooked Necks flirt with all manner of avant expression and end up nestled softly in a nook all their own. Then again, “softly” might not be the correct word. While there are plenty of hushed, whispered elements afoot, a constant barrage of throat ...

Click here for download Sounds like: Aloha, The Appleseed Cast, Beulah Song: Brae - Another Time and Place [download here ] What's so good? Who knew that this single is from Brae’s third full-length album? Apparently under the radar, Brandon Husken (lead singer & multi-instrumentalist) is ready to spread the word about Brae and all its greatness, and I’m listening loud and clear. “Another Time and Place” is taken from Brae’s upcoming album of the same name which drops on January 27. This single is the epitome of a well-rounded folk-pop anthem, with a mellow and heart-wrenching undertone. Fast-paced ...

Where has all the post-rock gone? I’d be willing to be we will soon look back on the early/mid 2000′s as the golden-age of genre that had little chance of becoming popular. With its obscenely long songs and few-and-far-between lyrics and vocals, it does seem like quite a miracle that bands like Explosions in the [...]

Forget those other seasons, give me fall. Winter and summer are unbearable for opposite reasons. Spring is nothing special and has too much sneezing. Fall, that’s where it’s at. The weather’s pleasant, everything gets coated in pleasing earth tones, and you get a good excuse to drink warm apple cider. Post-emo titans The Appleseed Cast know this; that’s why they’re called The Appleseed Cast. Did you know that the band’s name actually refers to their ritual of planting apple trees to harvest for delicious, delicious apple cider? It’s true. Once the cider’s ...
