Ski Lodge have released a music video for their fantastic track “A Game”. The Vampire Weekend comparison is hard to ignore, but there’s a dreamy 60′s guitar influence there as well. I’m a tad bit late on them, but I’m just glad I found them now. Can’t get the song out of my skull at [...]

Chris Baio was already two albums deep into an incredibly successful career as the bass player for Vampire Weekend when he began his first serious ventures into production. That was towards the end of 2010, and after a year of extensive touring with his band, Baio had just returned to Brooklyn with some downtime at hand and a clear goal in mind: to produce tracks. Now, after the better part of a year's worth of stumbling, experimenting, and some old-fashioned trial and error, Baio has come up with a trio of summer-tinged house tunes to mark his debut into ...

Here We Go Magic 's third album is crucial. In the three years since the project began as a nom de plume for folk singer Luke Temple, output has been frustratingly hit and miss. Initially an attempt to strike out in directions beyond folk, the safety of the moniker was an outlet for Temple to explore. The result has been a collage of psych folk, shoegaze, dub, ambience and noise which is at once striking for its incongruence and maddening for its lack of focus. Here We Go Magic's eponymous debut was a case of throwing as many genre-bending ...

With the release of their phenomenal new album Bloom , Beach House seem to be reaching a peak in their popularity that even surpasses the love they received for 2010's modern classic Teen Dream . As popular as they've been in years past, though, opinion has always been a little split on their live show; some fans will sing their praises while others will dismiss their performances as slow, unimpressive, or boring. With Bloom likely providing them their biggest wave of publicity yet, this ensuing bout of touring will serve to solidify their live reputation one way or another. But ...

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/16604-beach-house-bloom/ Beach House 's 'In Bloom' is out, even though I think it leaked like half a year ago [in the standard increment of 'blog years' time], so no1 is even excited for it. Every1 was all like 'this is totally gonna save 2k12.' However, we haven't seen very many memes from them (tv performances, music videos, Vicki LeGrant magazine spreads), so I am not really sure what they are waiting for. They are probably paranoid about seeming like they are 'trying too hard' to be relevant and authentic. Anyways, p4k gave the album ...
