I’ve just spent the past few minutes browsing the Neon Indian website, and my eyes are literally bleeding from the visual assault of SO MANY FLASHING FLUORESCENT LIGHTS. Ow. Luckily, Neon Indian’s chillwave-y art pop is a good deal more fun than the the headache-inducing website visuals. Neon Indian (Texan Alan Polomo) released 2009′s Psychic … Continue reading »

Track of the day: Yeasayer – ‘Madder Red’
Isn’t it about time those kooky psychedelic Yeasayer boys released something new? ‘Madder Red‘ in 2010 was like, so two years ago: (That video is kind of…freaky. And disturbing. And a little bit silly.) How felicitous: the Yeasayer website promises something in March 2012. Well, I’ll be ready and waiting! Yeasayer’s most recent album, Odd … Continue reading »
General newsiness 30.12.10
So here we stand, at the cusp of the new year, on the threshold of things to come. Here’s a little of what has been happening while I’ve been away stuffing my face with Christmas sticky date pudding: I’m currently reliving my 6th favourite concert of 2010 by listening to Yeasayer‘s Live at Ancienne Belgique … Continue reading »
Best live gigs of 2010
My only concession to the terrible, ubiquitous trend of Best-of lists will be the following summation of my best live gigs of 2010. And, in a huge feat of rebellion, I have chosen 6 of the best, rather than the usual 5, 10, 25 or 100 Best-of’s. Yes, I’m really walking on the wild side … Continue reading »
Yeasayer remix Florence and the Machine’s ‘Dog Days Are Over’
Yeasayer, one of my favourite bands of the past year, have remixed Florence and the Machine’s ‘Dog Days Are Over‘ – listen to it here. (via Pitchfork) In further Florence news, the amazingly successful Lungs (the BBC in particular loooove Florence, using her music on all their promos) will be re-issued on 15th November 2010, … Continue reading »
General newsiness 17.08.10
Belle and Sebastian have released the REAL album cover of their latest album (a false one was released last week), Belle and Sebastian Write About Love, due for release 11/12 October 2010. Head on over to their website for a snippet of one of the songs from BASWAL (hehe, that’s quite a good acronym), ‘I … Continue reading »
Track of the day – The Golden Filter remix Yeasayer’s ‘Madder Red’
I can’t stop myself playing this awesome remix of Yeasayer’s ‘Madder Red’, by New York’s disco duo The Golden Filter (interesting tidbit of the day – vocalist Penelope Trappes grew up in Lismore, NSW) – 7.34 minutes of foot-tapping, head-bouncing goodness, perfect for a sunny summer’s day. The only negative – it’s not available to … Continue reading »
Yeasayer remix N.E.R.D ft. Nelly Furtado
Locked in a London hotel room with only fish+chips to sustain them, the Yeasayer boys were forced to remix the N.E.R.D track ‘Hot’N’Fun’ (ft. Nelly Furtado). Check out the results here. I hope those fish+chips came wrapped in newspaper with vinegar! Continue reading »
Hush Hush’s Chris – international man of mystery
Judging by the amount of people coming to this site after googling Chris from Yeasayer’s support act Hush Hush, the self-described ‘Berlin-based soul/r&b dance-hit-machine’ has generated quite a buzz. Frustratingly, he has virtually no internet presence – in this day and age! What is he, a luddite or something? (Not from the way he fiddled … Continue reading »
Yeasayer + Hush Hush @ Exil 12.03.10
Fantastic gig last night by Yeasayer + Hush Hush @ Exil – I somehow didn’t expect them to be so good. It was a sold-out show (people were waiting outside with hand-written signs begging for tickets), with a high quotient of CYTs* wearing horn-rimmed or thick black glasses. Support act Hush Hush (the nattily-suited Chris) … Continue reading »
