TEST PRESSING: The Raveonettes Unveil New “Last Dance” Demo, The First Of Many Twitter Exclusives
June 10, 2009
Last year’s Raveonettes LP, Lust Lust Lust, made self-titled‘s year-end list, so we were psyched to hear the duo’s unprecedented plans for Album No. 4. Namely the unfiltered delivery of new demos via Twitter–the first installment of which, “Last Dance,” dropped today. Blunt feedback is encouraged. Or as our favorite Danes put it in a […]
Paul McCartney Professes Love For MGMT, Disses Bob Dylan
June 9, 2009
Look, we like “Kids” just as much as the next blog, and not to say we told you so, but self-titled booked MGMT for a tiny Glasslands gig nearly two years ago. With all of that in mind, we’re not sure to commend or critique Paul McCartney for finally paying attention to Brooklyn’s biggest breakout […]
PEEP SHOW: Pitchfork Launches Sonic Youth Week With Lo-Fi Footage of Two ‘Eternal’ Tracks
June 8, 2009
We’re still trying to decide if Sonic Youth‘s Matador debut (The Eternal, due out this Tuesday) is a minor letdown or not, since its songs don’t quite stick like the ones on such latter-day triumphs as Murray Street and Sonic Nurse. With that in mind, here are two promising clips from Pitchfork’s A>D>D show, including […]
FREE ASSOCIATION: James Blackshaw Channels Philip Glass, “Music For Airports” On Young God Debut
June 5, 2009
[Photo by Dorthe Winter] No matter what our mood is at the moment, there’s something about James Blackshaw‘s finger-picked guitar pieces that puts everything in perspective. It’s spellbinding stuff, really, a downward spiral into one’s subconscious that’s hopeful and hopeless. Don’t believe us, though; believe the almighty Michael Gira. The former Swan recently signed Blackshaw […]
FROM THE STACKS: The Builders and the Butchers
June 5, 2009
We get a lot of crap CDs at the self-titled offices. But once in a while, a pleasant surprise slips into our promo stack. Here’s a recent delivery that knocked the S/T staff on its collective ass.
THE S/T INTERVIEW: Tiga
June 4, 2009
[Lead photo by Qarim Brown] By Arye Dworken “I realize that dance [music] isn’t so big in the states,” says DJ/producer Tiga James Sontag (no relation to Susan). “It’s not a lack of trying; I just don’t think the [U.S.] audience is receptive to what I’m doing overall.” That may have been true in the […]
1MM: Isis Lead Patient Irving Plaza Crowd Into the Great Beyond, Even the Ones Who Weren’t Stoned
June 3, 2009
[Photos/Text by Andrew Parks] Isis don’t like to be photographed. This much we know from the band’s decade-plus existence, hence the bathed-in-blue and draped-in-sickly-green lighting of their Irving Plaza set last night. With that said, Isis’ music screams for itself, mimicking the ebb and flow of a Mogwai show while tossing numerous curveballs into the […]
1MM: Pelican Cover Earth, Return to “The Woods” at Irving Plaza Show
June 3, 2009

We’ll reveal a few hints from guitarist Trevor DeBrauw in an exclusive interview later today. (Hint: It’s kvlt as fuck.) For now, all we can tell you is to expect […]
