Maps & Atlases, quarteto de Chicago, Illinois, formado por Dave Davison, Shiraz Dada, Erin Elders e Chris Hainey. Eles praticam o que podemos chamar de math rock com fortes pitadas de folk e música experimental. A banda está lançando, depois de quatro EP's, seu álbum de estréia, Perch Patchwork, via Barsuk Records. O primeiro single do disco é “Solid Ground”, uma belezura.
Maps & Atlases' unique style melds the technicality of progressive music and the idiosyncrasies of art rock into a fascinating and oddly accessible sound all their own. Known for their virtuosic musical ability, they write pop songs with a magnificent aptitude for texture and a distinctive blend of both the intricate and organic.
"It was great to be able to step outside of our live setting and imagine the songs in a different way," said guitarist Erin Elders about the recording process for Perch Patchwork. "Jason Cupp brought another dimension to the songs that was really exciting to hear. We were able to deconstruct them part by part and then rebuild each verse or chorus with a different sonic idea."
Continues singer/guitarist David Davison, "We went into the record with the understanding that the creation of the album would be separate from its existence as a live piece of music, which was really liberating."

A banda canadense Wolf Parade está lançando seu terceiro álbum, EXPO 86 é composto por 11 pedras preciosas como essas duas que a Sub Pop liberou para 'free download', “Ghost Pressure” e “What Did My Lover Say? (It Always Had To Go This Way)”.
Recorded and mixed at Hotel2Tango, with Howard Bilerman, in late February and early March of 2010, EXPO 86 is the name of the new and third album by Montreal’s Wolf Parade. EXPO 86 follows the band’s 2008 album At Mount Zoomer, which itself followed their 2005 debut, Apologies to the Queen Mary. Read the full bio for EXPO 86, here.
The Love Language is a fortunate by-product of frontman North Carolina native Stuart McLamb's rudderless mid-20s, where a tempest of breakup, inebriation, and incarceration found the abandoned songwriter embarking on a storage-space recording project to slow his seeming disintegration. On sophomore effort Libraries, the equilibrium of frontman McLamb's madness and producer BJ Burton's discipline has rendered an album in the classic sense, in which no song is expendable and no passage is without purpose. Libraries captures Spector-esque walls of reckless sound, cavernous drums, middle-school percussion, and moody swells of stringed instruments, all decorated hastily with stray leads, which bleed beautifully all over everything.

A banda of Montreal está para lançar seu novo álbum, False Priest (capa acima), no próximo dia 14 de setembro, via Polyvinyl Records, que liberou a primeira jóia da nova coleção de 13 músicas inéditas, “Coquet Coquette”, uma belezura.
A banda de post-rock americana Windsor For The Derby está lançando seu novo álbum, Against Love (capa acima), via Secretly Canadian, que liberou o primeiro single do disco, “Queen of the Sun”, bela canção.
WINDSOR FOR THE DERBY Against Love Released: 22 June 2010
In a world of "slow" movements that rail against mindless consumption, rock survivalists Windsor for the Derby represent "slow" music. For their latest outing, they began with a set of seemingly infinite drones and loops inspired by their early beginnings as a band. As those recordings were passed back and forth, the sounds were further sculpted by Dan Matz and Jason McNeely into their own leftfield brand of pop song. This became Against Love.
While they experimented with more formalized rock structures on their past few albums, Against Love finds the balance between experimentation and rock tradition more heavily skewed toward the former. The songs are filled with tried & true conventions; some with pedal steel and acoustic guitar ("Dull Knives," "After Love"), and others in waves of warm feedback and synth ("Queen of the Sun," "Autumn Song"). Lyrically the songs are about how the modern world is changing the human condition, how we decide to land when the floor is pulled out from under us, and how hope is born from loss. The songs were shaped over months in backstage rooms, hotels, vans, and wherever else Matz and McNeely found time during WFTD's European and American tours of the past two years. Tracks were finalized in Matz's haunted Hope Union Studio, where disengaged clock chimes, spectral taps, and mysterious footsteps are a constant cause for another take; some left in the mix.

Mike Hadreas é um compositor/cantor de Seattle de apenas 20 anos, mais conhecido como Perfume Genius, que está lançando seu álbum de estréia, Learning, hoje, via Matador Records. Dizem por aí e acolá que este álbum é uma maravilha de debut. A primeira pérola liberada gratuitamente deste debut é justamente a canção “Learning”, que dá título e também abre o disco.
Even though he is only in his 20s, Mike Hadreas, aka Seattle’s PERFUME GENIUS, has a story with the twists and turns of a person who has seen a lot of darkness. Hadreas explains: “I spent my whole life hiding from the things that happened to me, to my family and friends. The entirety of all these experiences: abuse, addiction, suicide, all that cool stuff, I couldn’t bear to look at it.”
This extraordinary debut album explores that world through home-recorded songs that bring to mind early Cat Power, Elliott Smith, Sufjan Stevens and Pink Moon-era Nick Drake. Mostly simple vocal and piano, the minor-key melodies work their way into your brain and stick there. “Mr. Peterson" is the seemingly innocuous tale of a high school teacher turned inside-out. “Gay Angels' is a gorgeous soundscape of layered organs and synths. “Write To Your Brother' contains elliptical allusions to a mother treating a song “like a lover.' Hadreas’s life is a catalog of remembered pain and sadness, and this album is an indelible testament to that.

Jenny & Johnny, duo formado por Jenny Lewis (Rilo Kiley) e seu namorado Johnathan Rice, formada em Los Angeles, CA, estão para lançar seu álbum de estréia, I'm Having Fun Now, dia 31 de agosto vindouro, via Warner. A dupla acaba de liberar o primeiro single, “Scissor Running”, uma bela canção rock.
MP3: Jenny & Johnny – “Scissor Runner”
BIO:
Jenny and Johnny
Jenny and Johnny first started working together in Los Angeles in 2005, after being introduced by Conor Oberst. Rice had traveled to Nebraska to make his first record before moving to L.A., where Lewis was beginning work with Mike Mogis on her solo debut Rabbit Fur Coat. They both ended up playing on each others recordings, and struck up a lasting creative relationship. Rice joined Lewis’ band for the Rabbit Fur Coat world tour in 2006, and has played live with Lewis at every show of her solo career thus far. Jenny contributed both songwriting and singing to Johnathan’s Further North in 2007, and he was quick to return the favor as one of the producers of Lewis’ album Acid Tongue and again joining her on the road. During the Acid Tongue sessions, the band cut the song “Carpetbaggers” with Elvis Costello. The legendary songwriter was so inspired with the collaboration that he enlisted Lewis, Rice, their Acid Tongue crew, and the Imposters to help make one of his finest records of recent years, 2008’s Momofuku.
During hours of downtime on Lewis’ Acid Tongue world tour, she and Rice began writing a batch of songs different from anything they had previously created. The material was fast, ultra-melodic, and often blended both of their voices into one, creating a completely new sound. When the tour wrapped in Japan in August of 2009, Jenny and Johnny were eager to record the new tunes. They enlisted Rilo Kiley’s Pierre De Reeder to engineer a nine-day October session at his Bright Street Recorders in North Hollywood with the intention of making demos. Jenny and Johnny played as many instruments as possible, right down to the drums. Jason Boesel lent his considerable drumming talents to the songs that required something more. The four friends worked lightening fast, had a hell of a lot of fun, and were so stoked on the results that Lewis and Rice decided to start a new band and finish the record. Jenny and Johnny packed up a station wagon in December 2009 and drove to Omaha, Nebraska, the place where they first hung out all those years ago, to work with their friend, Mike Mogis.
Jenny and Johnny locked out Mogis’ world-class ARC studios for five weeks of tracking, vocals, and mixing during the worst Midwestern winter since the 1860’s. The front door of their guest house actually froze shut, so they used an alternate route to get to the studio every day. Cut off from the outside world in a blizzard’s haze, the record’s personality began to emerge. Gone were the vintage, classic-rock textures of their previous two albums, and in came a brand new sound which was tougher around the edges. The exuberance of love songs like Scissor Runner mask some of the record’s darkness, with Lewis chronicling the economic demise of her beloved California in Big Wave, Rice’s haunting vocal on Animal, and both songwriters raising a middle-finger kiss off in the acerbic My Pet Snakes. The overall result is genuine and original pop music for Right Now. This is not a Rilo Kiley record, a Jenny Lewis record, or a Johnathan Rice record. This is Jenny and Johnny. They’re having fun now, and they want you to, too.

RELEASE:
We are happy to announce some details on our latest recording. The new album is called CRUSHES (THE COVERS MIXTAPE) and will be released this summer. This is our first full length recorded and produced by ourselves, and our longtime collaborator Peter Katis (The National, Swell Season, Interpol, etc.) mixed the record. We've been talking about doing a covers record for a long time. We'd hear a great song at 2 AM while driving the straight line from one part of Texas to the next, and all we'd want to do is play that song as if we had written it. There are so many artists we considered, some for the mere fact that they wrote a perfect song, some for nostalgia's sake, some because more people need to hear them, some for the challenge, and some to shed a whole different light on a song: Our light... make it a duet, more optimistic or maybe less traditional.
To get things started, we are offering a free download of the first track "Laura." Just goto matesofstate.com and you can stream the track as well as download it from the homepage.
And here is the complete Tracklisting to Crushes (The Covers Mixtape) !
1. Laura (Girls) 2. Son et Lumiere (The Mars Volta) 3. Sleep the Clock Around (Belle & Sebastian) 4. Technicolor Girls (Death Cab for Cutie) 5. Long Way Home (Tom Waits 6. Love Letter (Nick Cave) 7. Second Hand News (Fleetwood Mac) 8. 17 Pink Sugar Elephants (Vashti Bunyan) 9. Roller Coaster Ride (Dear Nora) 10. True Love Will Find You in the End (Daniel Johnston)
Stay tuned as we will have more updates soon on the album's release and more...
Blonde Redhead está de volta e com uma nova, bela e deliciosa canção, intitulada “Here Sometimes”, a banda novaiorquina dá pistas de um novo álbum tão sensacional quanto o anterior 23.

Eels está lançando um novo álbum, Tomorrow Morning (capa acima), no próximo dia 24 de agosto vindouro, com 14 faixas e já recebendo ótmas críticas. Este é o terceiro álbum que o Eels lança de junho de 2009 (quando saiu Hombre Lobo, em janeiro deste 2010 foi a vez de End Times), para cá, ou seja, 3 álbuns em 14 meses. Esse momento prolífico da banda também reflete-se na ótima qualidade dos dos três discos. De Tomorrow Morning, eles liberam antecipadamente a faixa, “Looking Up”, que dá uma boa idéia das qualidades do álbum.
MP3: Eels - “Looking Up”
Eis o tracklist de Tomorrow Morning:
1. “In Gratitude For This Magnificent Day” 2. “I’m A Hummingbird” 3. “The Morning” 4. “Baby Loves Me” 5. “Spectacular Girl” 6. “What I Have to Offer” 7. “This Is Where It Gets Good” 8. “After The Earthquake” 9. “Oh So Lovely” 10. “The Man” 11. “Looking Up” 12. “That’s Not Her Way” 13. “I Like the Way This Is Going” 14. “Mystery Of Life”
Magic Kids é um quinteto de Memphis, que faz um 'pop/indie pop/perfect pop' de primeira qualidade. Eles estão prestes a lançar seu primeiro álbum, Memphis está previsto para agosto próximo, via True Panther. A primeira jóia liberada é a bela e deliciosa “Summer”, um banho de grandes referências e/ou influências.
With Magic Kids' Debut album "Memphis" they fully realize the sounds hintedat with their first singles- massive, intelligent and ecstatic POP MUSIC. There are hints of late 80's Britpop, the Del-Phonics' heartbreaking harmonies, ELO's grandeur and Belle & Sebastian's intimacy. Ultimately though the music is all theirs, a collection of 11 instant classics, a glimpse into Magic Kids' incredible world.
O Foals, quinteto britânico de Oxford, está lançando seu segundo álbum, Total Life Forever mostra uma banda progredindo, evoluindo, amadurecendo, melhorando, mudando alguns conceitos, cantando ao invés de gritar, se aprofundando em emoções e, assim, ganhando mais e mais corações. A belíssima “Spanish Sahara” é a prova disto, como também “This Orient”, “Miami” etc.
In April of 2008, we at Sub Pop Records had the good fortune to release the US version of Antidotes, the debut album by Oxford, UK quintet Foals. Antidotes was a special album. Two years on from that impressive introduction, a choice has been made–-rather than contort Antidotes’ lithesome guitars into ever more elaborate patterns, Total Life Forever is the sound of a band settling into and surveying the decay of old protocols. With this new album, Foals strip their sound back and turn themselves inside out searching for that invisible human thing. The result is an album as persuasive emotionally as Antidotes was physically. Whereas that album constantly reinforced its own presence by filling the air with yelping and polyrhythm, tracks on Total Life Forever such as disarming opener “Blue Blood,” “2 Trees” and the astonishing “Black Gold” are happier to leave gaps for the listener to explore in mind’s ear and eye. Written primarily in the basement of their Oxford HQ (“The House of Supreme Mathematics”) and recorded in Gothenburg with former Clor man Luke Smith, Total Life Forever finds Foals singing rather than shouting, emotional as well as functional. The band’s soul-search reveals new antidotes found in infinite, internal spaces rather than carved violently upon the air–-Total Life Forever feels more the work of artists than artisans. It’s a triumph that they’ve managed to remain a band of progress and propulsion while investigating that vast, dark space lurking inside themselves-–that gap between ribs where “nature, or god or whatever you wanna call it, will come in.”

Quatro novos artistas/projetos muito interessantes, Visions Of Trees, How To Dress Well, Prizes e Memoryhouse, que vagueiam entre sons eletrônicos, ambients etc.
Pantha du Prince ou Hendrik Weber, músico, produtor e DJ alemão de música eletrônica, lançou em fevereiro passado, seu terceiro álbum, Black Noise, do qual faz parte a faixa “Welt Am Draht”, que ganha agora um ótimo remix do Animal Collective.
Depois de uma turnê de retorno, o lendário duo Eugene e Frances ou The Vaselines está de volta com disco inédito, Sex With An X está previsto para setembro próximo e a dupla já adianta uma das novas pérolas, I Hate the 80's.
The new Vaselines album, Sex with an X, was recorded outside Manchester at the Analogue Catalogue studio in Mossley with Julie McLarnon engineering and produced by Jamie Watson (who also produced that first album Dum Dum). The Vaselines ca. 2010 is Eugene and Frances with guest musicians Stevie Jackson and Bob Kildea from Belle & Sebastian on guitar and bass, and Michael McGaughrin from the 1990s on drums. It may have taken The Vaselines 20 years to get round to making this baby, but it was worth the wait—bringing their solo careers to a climax. The irony has not been lost. Who says indie music can’t be fun? No hand-wringing on these tracks—just good clean smut with a twist of bitter. The Vaselines will tour the US in October, 2010.
