Video Premiere: Jason Blum – “Josephine”

Current Austin, TX singer-songwriter Jason Blum saw the release of his latest collection of songs, Radio Dial, earlier this year on Bitchen Records. Essentially a travelogue of Blum’s musical journeys, the album skips around casually from genre to genre–often within the same song. Pop, folk, and classic rock all find comfortable homes throughout the 10 [...]

Listen: Volcano Choir – “Byegone”

Volcano Choir – the side project of Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon – are to release their sophomore album later this year. Repave will see its release through Jagjaguwar on September 2nd/3rd, following 2009′s Unmap.

Watch: Okkervil River – “It Was My Season”

Okkervil River’s newly announced album, The Silver Gymnasium has had a little more revealed about its contents: According to frontman Will Sheff, the album “takes place in 1986 in a small town in New Hampshire.” You’ll find that town depicted in the new lyric video for the jaunty, piano-led track “It Was My Season” as a projector plays out the lyrics as the stage – which was built nearly a decade ago for a play called “The Woodland Princess” – goes from dawn to dusk.

But when Oberst’s Bright Eyes moniker became his focus rather than Desaparecidos, the band’s members took time [...]

Track Premiere: yOya – “King of Nothing”

There’s something inherently fascinating about the way in which yOya’s Alex Pfender and Noah Dietterich meld classic folk songwriting with modern electronic flourishes and beat-based rhythms. And while in some instances it could be seen as appropriate, the “folktronic” label which has been used occasionally in reference to yOya’s sound is overly simplistic and have [...]

Track Premiere: Shy Mirrors – “Tramming Up”

Chicago native Mike Downey was the guitarist and singer for twee associates Wolfie, but since moving to Stockholm, Sweden and taking his leave of that band some years ago, he’s been recording souped up power pop as Shy Mirrors. Taking his cue from early Superchunk and the greased back hair and leather jacket pop rock [...]

Listen: Coma Cinema – “Virgin Veins”

South Carolina’s Mat Cothran has just released, via Fork and Spoon Records and Orchid Tapes, the last album, Posthumous Release, under his bleak bedroom pop moniker Coma Cinema; he now records as Elvis Depressedly.
