Seedy synth outfit Cold Cave have remixed Belle & Sebastian‘s “I Didn’t See It Coming”, to appear on a forthcoming B&S 12″ single for “Come On Sister” released through Matador on July 26. Cold Cave frontman Wes Eisold had this to say about the remix: “In 1998 I lived on a street called the Eastern [...]

London ex-garage-goths The Horrors might’ve caught doubters by surprise with the career redefining and lifespan prolonging wonder that was Primary Colours, but this time we’re ready for you. Their third album Skying is out next week via XL records, and finds the band self-producing the album, and retaining the same sonic thrill that ran the [...]

It’s been something of a long time coming, but the first fruit from London cinematic psyche-pop outfit Still Corners signing to American label Sub Pop records take shapes in the form of a new 7″, “Cuckoo”, released in the UK this week (June 28). But you can just mosey on ahead and immerse yourself in [...]

Webcuts totally fell for Twin Sister‘s 2010 double-EP combo Color Your Life / Vampires With Dreaming Kids, in particular the exquisite dreampop shimmy of “All Around And Away We Go”, so it’s only expected that we’ll excitedly prick up our ears at the sound of fresh rumblings from their Long Island camp and report forth. [...]

With a year spent travailing the globe leading alterna-rock heroes, Pavement, through their reunion parade, it’s back to the day job for Stephen Malkmus and his Jicks. Their latest album, Mirror Traffic, is out August 22 through Domino Records. Produced by Beck ‘Beck’ Hansen, who recently helmed Thurston Moore’s latest effort, this is Stephen Malkmus’ [...]

The name of this band always reminds me of a tawdry 80′s Australian soapie drama, which I doubt was what these four Glaswegians had in mind. On Mirror, Mirror, the follow-up to 2008′s This Gift, Sons & Daughters have made an about-face from their gritty rock n’ roll stance, fashioning together a darkly sinister sound, [...]

Subtle and beautifully and unexpectedly intriguing is “Calgary”, the first single to be lifted from Bon Iver‘s long-awaited follow-up to For Emma, Forever Ago out June 20 via 4AD. With a little surrendering of your digital details, you can download the track now from www.boniver.org. The physical format will be released on July 4 on [...]

Titled like you’d expect a Sonic Youth album, Demolished Thoughts is Thurston Moore’s latest Beck-produced solo record. In the same vein as 2007′s Trees Outside The Academy, it’s a stripped back affair that the very Sonic Youth sounding (if violins were drumstick jammed electric guitars) “Circulation” would attest. In typical Thurston Moore fashion, he explains [...]

Is it wrong to fawn over a band’s debut when they’ve just returned with their first album in 20 years? We’re still ashamed to admit that we gave New Jersey’s, The Feelies a wide berth for the last few decades purely because of their name. It sounded like a something straight from the heart of [...]

The name of this band always reminds me of a tawdry 80′s Australian soapie drama, which I doubt was what these four Glaswegians had in mind. On Mirror, Mirror, the follow-up to 2008′s This Gift, Sons & Daughters have fashioned a darkly sinister sound, pared back for effect and drawing in filmic inspirations that’s perfectly [...]
