Deerhunter

The much anticipated Microcastle release is coming. Deerhunter has a few of the new songs on their myspace page. Believe the hype, from what I've heard so far, this one trumps their previous offerings. Can't wait to see them when they swing through town! I'll hold off calling it the album of the year until I've heard the whole thing. But, here's one smitten fan.

Thick on energy, passion, spirit. Thin on exposure, tour dates in the US. Black on The Pixies, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr. White on Los Campesinos! Fast on creativity, depth. Slow on caution, fear.

Falcon

Did you wtf the first time you heard Neil Young's falsetto? Recalibrate your ears for Falcon, you'll get the same, "ah ok I get it" after a few listens. You'll find mournful, soulful songs good for winding down a bit.

grrrl with a farkin piercing voice makes up for a poppier sound than I prefer in my punk rock, so it's not complete crap - takes punk in new directions which I like very much - who said "punks dead?" - stream the entire Anthologie Des 3 Perchoirs Album here

I was beginning to doubt it, but creativity is surely alive and well! Highly experimental, but deliciously accessible, Deerhoof is hitting their stride with the new release Offend Maggie. If you know them, you'll notice a richer more folksy vein and Satomi Matsuzaki's vocals, as playful as ever, seem that much refined. Here's an assortment of downloads & streams both new and old.

DC underground DJ / producer with a smooth rhymin story tellin style, free from tired hip hop cliché. Twangy Motown guitar samples over break beat fare that gets heads bobbin. Features the likes of Radel Esca & Comel_15.

"Maximalist" brings it outlandish and over the top both on musical and theatrical terms. If you're from Britton, you're saying this ain't underground, but here on the other side of the pond she hasn't arrived... yet.

The Apples in Stereo

Depth, detail, richness, texture, and polish like work from an artists guild of old that draws from a rich history. History which includes The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and Electric Light Orchestra, to name a few. Yet The Apples in Stereo paint with fresh brush strokes.
