Brazos are set to release their debut, Saltwater , at the end of the month via Dead Oceans - a record that runs on rhythmic motion and surges of vibrant pop. New York based Martin Crane started the Brazos moniker back in Austin with his debut Phosphorescent Blues (released 2009) and has been releasing and recording ever since. We caught up with Martin to talk about how it all started, the release of Saltwater and getting into the groove. Bowlegs: You self-released your debut, Phosphorescent Blues , back in 2009 [...]
Greetings, For this week's show we have music from the Krake compilation on KILLEKILL by Pole & Perc. There are plenty of tracks from full length albums on the show.

However the albums are the only ones getting some love. I have new music from the legendary Pepe Bradock on the latest Acid Test series. More nice [...]
e ti scoppia vicino non senti da un orecchio per almeno un minuto. Ricordate la sensazione? io sì e non era piacevole. Ecco il motivo per cui ho associato (come un cane con la luce verde per mangiare e rossa per i bisogni) il titolo dell'ultimo disco dei Gazebo Penguins a qualcosa di spiacevole. Il resto ce l'ha un po' messo l'internet tutta perché sì, ok, bravi guaglioni, simpatici gente che si è fatta il culo nei van e nei localini e che mettono in fridaunlò (scriviamolo l'ultima volta così e poi basta per favore) il disco, [...]

I ask them! Listen to our chat. the interview show with Wampire Wampire "The [...]

We've been fans of the San Francisco band Sonny & The Sunsets since hearing their splendid single, "Too Young To Burn," in 2010. That song, and the album it appeared on, Tomorrow is Alright, catapulted the band to indie stardom, and they've been riding high on that wave ever since with each recording or video [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

Cronin is quickly rising through the indie ranks with his brand of candied, aggressive pop. As a recent grad of the Cal Arts music program, we find him lost, stuck, fearful yet hopeful. The faithless 27 year-old aggressively attacks his acoustic guitar with conviction and fervor - hammering out lyrics of whirlwind emotions and jangly, jagged riffs that would appease the alt-rock gods of the early 902s. Playing the lion's share of the melodies on the album, Cronin manages to control the sonic schizophrenia that often comes with an artist in his position. He beats himself up during [...]
Following last week's look at The Knife's current tour , we're now making our way over to Camber Sands for the TV On The Radio-curated ATP Festival , which took place over the weekend.

Expect a hint of Sooty, seagull poo and people having fun on a beach. Note: It might take a few second to load. [...]
Zaterdagavond heb ik een fijne avond beleeft op het Urban Explorers festival in Dordrecht. Tijdens deze avond heb ik gezien dat het heel lastig is voor electronische artiesten om de vertaalslag naar een liveoptreden te maken terwijl dat andersom een stuk makkelijker gaat. Ik keek deze avond vooral uit naar het optreden van Mmoths. De beste jongen heeft twee ep's uit waarvan vooral de eerste mij iedere keer weer goed bevalt. Het is echter bijzonder rustig werk en ik vroeg mij dan ook af hoe dat op het hoogtepunt van de zaterdagavond uit zou [...]

With his remix of The xx's "Hot Like Fire" making ground into being an Internet smash, teen-aged producer BeazyTymes opts to follow the "If it ain't broke..." motif for his latest tune, a return to the The xx catalog that finds him taking on the band's debut album cut "Shelter" and giving it a modern-day jeep jam bump with a sprinkling of trap rattle n' snap, booming bass and some eardrum seducing R&B; chords. After hearing these two recent two gems, Beazy can do us a favor and turn this XX-re-imagining thing [...]

Here we have another dazzling remix from Vancouver producer 8prn ( Jellyfish Recordings / Chapel Sound / Blenheim & Celtic ) putting his own spin on the Outkast classic " Roses ." This piece is rhythmically enchanting with a sonically vast atmosphere and a funky energy that bursts at the chorus - bringing on a dance apocalypse. It truly is fun .

Soffie Vimose, som sidste år var en del af Roskilde Rising artisterne , har skiftet kunstnernavn til Nanome. Navneskiftet markerer ikke et skifte i forhold til det musikalske udtryk, som man måske kunne tro. Navneskiftet giver simpelthen blot Soffie mere personlig og kunstnerisk frihed og inkluderer i højere grad hendes band. På det første nummer under det nye kunstnernavn er Soffie Viemose tilbage med sin bevægende, nordiskklingende og knitrende electronica-signatur. På Cave lyder Soffie lidt som den kvindelige udgave af James Blake. I hvert fald formår hun ligesom sin britiske kollega [...]
