We’re a little curious why kayln rock doesn’t capitalize her name, but it might be one of those situations where it’s better not to ask. For one thing, it would mean time away from listening to her sing.
The Hudson, N.Y., native has one of those voices that is at once brave and a little trembly, [...]
This seems like a fitting way to wrap up 2011: Listening to New York group The Loom play “Auld Lang Syne” in beautifully melancholy fashion.
And despite the revelry, there is something melancholy about New Year’s, a bittersweetness as one year fades into the next. The Loom’s version of the old Scottish folk tune captures it [...]
It is with genuine excitement that we post a new song today from Sharon Van Etten.
The Brooklyn singer and songwriter’s 2010 release, “epic,” was epic indeed, in a hushed, intimate way that was simply devastating. Remember, for example, the song “Love More?”
Her third album, “Tramp,” explores more sonic space without losing any of the wrenching [...]
OK, so we’re a little late on this one, but you know how crazy things get around the holidays. So if you’re already nostalgic for, um, last Christmas, you’ll definitely want to give a listen to this Wham! cover by Huff This! (So! Many! Exclamation marks!)
You may remember Huff This! from the song “Lovin You,” [...]
We’re not saying this is the Christmas song we’ve been waiting our whole lives for, but — wait, actually, that’s exactly what we’re saying.
Brent Amaker, the baddest badass to rock a cowboy hat and cover Kraftwerk, brings tidings of joy with “A Very Brent Amaker Christmas,” a song he put together with Portland producer Jeff [...]
From the sound of things, no one is having a mellower Christmas than Dressy Bessy.
The Denver band wraps up its 15th year with the free Christmas song “Mister Kringle’s,” which puts sleigh bells over an easy flowing guitar part topped with a twee little keyboard line. The holidays can be a stressful time, but this [...]
It’s pretty much just understood that “dream-pop” bands are co-ed — after all, hazy, atmospheric female vocals are an essential ingredient of that dreamy, spacious feel.
Field Mouse obliges on its new single, “You Guys Are Going to Wake Up My Mom,” a song piling layers of soaring guitar and crashing cymbals around Rachel Browne’s delicate, [...]
It’s a safe bet that anyone who plays music for a living has been in more than one band, and so it is for Wild Arrows leader Mike Law. First he fronted the Boston post-hardcore band Eulcid (no, that’s not a typo), followed by New Idea Society, a more textured, less screamy group based in [...]
Robert Pollard was fine on his own, but he’s somehow so much better with Guided By Voices, which last year reconvened in its “classic lineup,” after a 6-year hiatus, for a tour before recording a new album, “Let’s Go Eat at the Factory,” which is due digitally Dec. 20 in physical formats in January.
They weren’t [...]
Junior Senior was a bunch of kooky up-tempo fun early in the ’00s, but all those sexually ambiguous hijinks came to an end in 2008 when the Danish pop duo split. Not to worry: Junior, aka Jesper Mortensen, is back with singer Leah Hennessey in the band Make Out.
Based in New York, the duo (which [...]
