If you love Swedish-American alt-rock trio Miike Snow, you’ll be happy to know they have a new album, Happy to You, coming soon. And if you don’t know Miike Snow, you’ll be surprised to know they’re partially responsible for a few of the biggest mainstream hits of the past few years. Miike Snow – comprised of writer-producer-instrumentalists Christian Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg and vocalist Andrew Wyatt – had a great shoulda-been-a-hit with their self-titled debut in 2009 and hypnotic, Peter […]

Who The Hell Are…If These Trees Could Talk?
It’s been some time since we’ve heard new music from Akron, Ohio’s post-rockers If These Trees Could Talk (their last album was released in 2009). Fans of heavy distortion, well-woven melodies, and layers of sound can rejoice knowing that the band has announced plans to release a new album, “Red Forest,” on March 20th. “Red Forest” was treated with a major sense of DIY, as it was entirely self-produced over the last calendar year. CD and digital download versions of the album will […]

New Release Report 1/17/12:…and We’re Back!
In the music industry, January is the time when everyone is rubbing sleep from their eyes, at least in terms of new releases. This month is typically a wasteland for new music, and 2012 is no exception, at least in terms of major releases. There is a sprinkling of albums hitting stores (and online outlets) this week so let’s take a look at some of the more interesting names… Have you guys checked out our review of the new Guided By Voices album?

The Singles Bar: Jay-Z’s “Glory”
The biggest celebrity news this week was unquestionably the birth of Ivy Blue Carter, the child of rap legend Jay-Z and his larger-than-life pop star wife, Beyonce Knowles. What I bet you weren’t expecting was for young Blue Ivy to potentially become the youngest artist to ever appear on a Billboard chart! In honor of his first child’s birth, Jay has released “Glory.” It’s a touching (if obviously rush-recorded) tribute that features his newborn’s coos in the song’s mix. Also […]
Viewfinder: Alan Wilkis feat. The Kick Drums – “Come and Go”
As you pore over the litany of year-end lists that will no doubt dominate the blogosphere this week ( including ours ), it’s easy to forget that new music continues to trickle in, even as the year rapidly draws to a close. Case in point: Alan Wilkis. Alan Wilkis is a man on the move. He’s got two solo releases under his belt (2008’s Babies Dream Big and 2009’s excellent Pink and Purple). He’s also been hard at work with a bevvy of remixes […]

The first (and hopefully only) posthumous project from Amy Winehouse is one of this week’s major new releases.
The Singles Bar: “Following” by The Phenomenal Handclap Band
Sometimes it takes a bit of peer pressure to get you to hear new music. At least I hope I’m not the only person who still needs a kick in the ass sometimes to get rolling on music I’m probably gonna end up liking. Such was the case with The Phenomenal Handclap Band, an outfit that’s been on my radar for quite some time. These guys are definitely a thing in their home base of New York City, and the […]
New Release Report 11/29/11: Got Live If You Want It!
With only one major release week left in 2011, the industry is heading into break mode, but not before unleashing two superstar live albums this week. First and foremost, there’s Live At The Royal Albert Hall, the first ever live CD and DVD from this year’s it-girl, Adele. The British singer regales us with tracks from her two smash albums, plus a smattering of covers-including a delicate take on Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me”, which we featured […]
Who The Hell Is: Larry g(EE)?
Every now and then, something pops up in your mailbox that makes it worth digging through all the stuff you DON’T want to feature on the site. One such reward comes in the form of Larry g(eEE)’s “Yo Mama”. Larry is a singer/songwriter from Dallas whose sound is fully in step with the live-band soul revival that’s taken place recently, bringing national attention to artists like Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings and Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears. The […]
