David Daniell and Douglas McCombs – Versions ..Seven hours. Versions, the new recording from David Daniell and Douglas McCombs, is all about seven hours. The pair’s previous release, Sycamore, sprang out of seven hours of improvisation, looping and fiddling. Versions is culled from the same seven hours, but this time the selecting comes from former Tortoise member Ken Brown. Sycamore was a 2009 release from the two [...]Something Else! Reviews26 May 2012

Hear 'Ley Lines,' Dubby Drones Via David Dan ..Versions , the second album by San Augustin dream-droner David Daniell and Tortoise plucker Douglas McCombs has been a favorite for SPIN office chill-out seshes for a minute now — a two-guitar drift suite featuring a solid 80 minutes of ebowed ripples, post-folk circular spirals, ecstatic-jazz drumming, and space-vaccuum woosh...Spin23 May 2012

mOck - mOck LPUp until this point Berlin’s mOck has only had brief appearances on some split 7-inches, which is where I initially heard them. In particular their track on the split they did with the now defunct Rapid Cities . At the time it didn’t seem clear as to what the and were attempting with a five minute sprawling song that jumped between a more standard type of post-hardcore and the smooth jazzy influenced math-rock that they seemed to turn on at the press of a button. Confusing? A bit. Interesting? Somewhat. Thankfully they have this debut full-length to kind of ...Built on a Weak Spot16 May 2012

SEAMUS FOGARTY God Damn You MountainCounty Mayo-born Seamus Fogarty appears to be drawing on particular rural concerns and characters on his debut album: songs about mountains, water, the wind and apple trees plus titles featuring Dinny Phil (and his walking stick) and Rita Jack. But “God Damn You Mountain” never becomes locked to a specific place, country or even single mood - it’s a displaced record creating its own sonic landscape and Fogarty’s neutral even deadpan burr sounds closer to Fife than to Limerick. And Fence Records - headquartered in Cellardyke, Fife - is the faultless home for this release, with its wayward folky sounds formed ...Folly of Youth10 May 2012

Tour Dates: Beach House’s Summer PlansTheir name conjures up what you’d expect “ Beach House ” to sound like – wispy, ethereal music that floats and swirls along, transporting you to a ocean side spot as you dip your toes in the sand, watching the ocean waves gently roll in. Next Tuesday, the Baltimore-based act will release their eagerly anticipated follow up to 2010′s critically acclaimed Teen Dream , with their fourth full-length effort Bloom via venerable indie-label Sub Pop. The album is currently streaming via NPR’s First Listen series . The dream-pop duo, who will play a record release party at New York City’s Bowery ...Hidden Track9 May 2012
