Critics often talk about how comfortable The National are, as though they're some sort of safety net band when your travels through “edgier” music get too rough. I never really understood this sentiment until I listened their most recent album, Trouble Will Find Me . The National, I believe, represent to many the creative zenith of a genre of music that is itself safe (Pitchfork has referred to it as “boilerplate indie”); nestled between string-arranged indie and big stadium rock is a band like The National. They're like Coldplay on barbiturates and wrecked by Jens Lekman-levels of emotional guilt. That [...]

This lil teaser video shows off what Mishka bringing to the table this summer, and it's looking dope as. Keep your eyes open for the official drop.
I haven't written about the Swedish singer/songwriter Lars Bygdén before, an oversight I of course have to correct. Because if you have created a wonderful album such as his Americana-vibing "LB" from last year, you certainly deserve to be heard. During Spring he also released a video to the album's starting track, "The Hole". It's a rather varied record with naked acoustic songs to country to songs with a more melodic pop touch, but everything's glued nicely together with a pleasant, releaxed and warm melancholy, where you can land in a slower tempo, safely guided by Lars' calm, [...]

ARTIST: Ray Manzarek Remembered The Aging Punk looks at Ray Manzarek not just as former Door, but as a career musician, producer and songwriter who followed his own muse, without apology. DATE: 05-27-13 WRITER: G. Murray Thomas As news of Ray Manzarek's death floated across the internet (including the bizarre, beyond post-modern moment when the story that his death was really an internet hoax turned out to be an internet hoax in itself), I was struck by a couple of recurring threads in my friends' Facebook posts. Of [...]

While modern country music is easily one of the most popular, if not the most popular genre of music going today, it's not something that we give much press to around these parts. So you'll have to forgive us if we're a little late to the party on finding out the fact that Darius Rucker has been burning up the country music charts with his cover of Old Crow Medicine Show's signature tune Wagon Wheel. Rucker, who came to fame with as the front man for Hootie & The Blowfish, has been making country music records [...]
When Iggy Azalea dropped by our Los Angeles studio in the midst of fighting off a terrible cough, we figured once the gal survived a grueling round of Pop Associated she'd have called it a day. But the Aussie rapper is no quitter and took our questions about her debut studio album The New Classic like a champ (a champ with a modeling contract). Perhaps it was the codeine she had to sip between her answers, but the "Work" MC was quite candid. Iggy spoke to the "iron clad" contracts she made the [...]

Una cueca, un tango o una tonada pueden ser tan potentes como el rock más contestatario. En eso cree Rodrigo Pinto, al mismo tiempo cantor popular y explorador sonoro. De sus maestros y su escuela, de la diferencia entre folk y folclore y de Árboles en construcción , el disco en que une electricidad y sicodelia con música chilena de raíz urbana, habla el líder de Pintocabezas. Fotos y videos por Juan Sebastián Domínguez. La semana pasada a esta entrevista Rodrigo Pinto Cabezas acompañó en un pequeño concierto a Luis Araneda, [...]
Wherever you go, our love is all Sometimes all we need from that person we adore is for them to let us know that they too love us back with a simple word, or nod. A simple emoticon, a simple x which signifies a digital kiss these days, or a simple smile. Alas, when their energy is down we must also understand that they may just not be in the mood to reciprocate any love or attention given. I guess there is nothing wrong with that... We all go through our ups [...]

Structurally unrecognizable, remixed, incredibly loud and vocals like hymns that get under your skin…sounds like HEALTH. After their last studio release, GET COLOR in 2009, and the release of the MAX PAYNE soundtrack, HEALTH is back. Anticipating the release of... READ MORE
Hello from New Zealand. I'm Tim from The Tall Tale, a solo project based in Waikato NZ. The whole idea behind The Tall Tale is to do everything myself- from album art to songwriting, from recording to mixing etc (probably sounds a bit selfish). The latest EP follows a 'Brother's Grimm' type narrative and attempts to be fun and tragic simultaneously. If you get a chance then check out my favourite tracks from the EP, Kiss by Kiss and Bellìs Damf Ìne. Cheers guys, Tim *** Facebook // SoundCloud [...]
