As an integral part of Regina collective Rah Rah, Erin Passmore provides tender, melodic vocals for their brand of delightful indie pop. On February 28th Passmore steps out on her own with her debut solo EP Downtown. Joining her at various stages of this journey are members of Wintersleep, Young Galaxy, and Patrick Watson's backing band. This is definitely a different Passmore than we've heard with Rah Rah. The EP's songs are more introspective and personal, and nearly devoid of the group's trademark hooks. The overarching feel of the record is moody. The album opens with ...

De senares fantastiska version [...]

Anyone who complains about going to SXSW is full of crap. I did buy some really sweet arch supports for my chucks though. Pretty old. So, apologies to all the bands, managers, and publicists I DON'T see but want to, and hello to all the new folks we're sure to run into on the trail down there. We owe a few posts to some bands, but those will have to wait till we get back. Real life's a bitch. Also, I just spilled my General Tso's chicken on my entire SXSW folder. True story. Here are ...

No pierdan la fe, hermanos. He visto el futuro y es hermoso. Un año es más que suficiente para reflexionar. Ahora desháganse de sus gestos irónicos, de sus vicios materiales, de sus preocupaciones, de su monótono paso apurado, de toda esa basura moderna que los sigue hundiendo. No necesitamos nada en este culto. Encontraremos la [...]

Chances are at some point this year, if you’re on Facebook or Twitter, you’ve already received a re-post/Tweet of an article prophesising on the ‘death of guitar music’, or a general analysis of how bands are seemingly becoming a redundant musical medium. Clearly that’s not a line Rockfeedback is going to buy into and it’s certainly a very blinkered argument that must be looking at the genre groupings within the ever decreasing ‘units moved’ metrics of the last few years. Young Galaxy are a band who prove quite the ointment to this line of argument ...

For the second half of my favourite albums list, click here ! 12. Coeur de Pirate , Blonde Let's face it: with her voice and her ear for melody, Beatrice Martin could probably sing in Simlish and still have it sound good. Or, more realistically, after the success of her self-titled debut, she probably could've allowed herself to coast a little on Blonde . Instead, she improved on an already good thing, and showed that there was a whole lot more where her first album came from. Download " Loin d'ici " 11. Louise Burns , Mellow Drama ...wherein Girl groups of the ...

Happy New Year folks - sorry it took so long to post this... we needed some nice time off. I'm not really sure what to make of this year. We seemed a little distracted, more argumentative, and fragmented. While there were frequent pleasures, and the fantastic highlights you find below, the critical mass seemed often too quick to elevate inferior content to ever-heightening levels of indie-rock stardom. Critical gatekeepers seemed too willing to settle, to accept as "great" hazy instrumentals, bedroom producers lacking vision, and in general, the absence of sharp songwriting in the critical mainstream. For as underwhelming as ...

( Teil 1 ) ( Teil 2 ) ( Teil 4 ) ( Teil 5 ) ( Teil 6 ) ( Teil 7 ) ( Teil 8 ) Platz 48 Joanna Gruesome - e.p Es gibt so einen magischen Punkt, an dem schrottige Produktion aufhört, bloß völlig kaputt zu klingen und die Musik mit diesem unfassbaren Lo-Fi-Etwas beseelt. Diesen Punkt erreichen die lose zusammengestellten frühen Aufnahmen des walisischen Indiepop-Quintetts gewiss nicht, hier wird wust drunter- und drüberkomprimiert und verhallt und gefiept und übersteuert und das von Song zu Song unterschiedlich. Doch was das schon akzeptable Pantry Girl mit dem Demoqualität-Thrasher Sugarcrush eint, ist dieses andere unfassbare Etwas: Ein fabelhaftes Gespür für Ohrwurm-Harmonien, das durchaus ...
