Anna Madorsky is the new (old?) name of LA-based singer/songwriter Rouse, and even though this is her sophomore release this 'debut' album is full of fresh new stuff. While Rouse's first offering to us was a dark, breakup-inspired album, with notes of electro and dirty house. '...

A fun game that will keep all of the family entertained whilst listening to this quaint, quirky and a little out there soundtrack can be had by trying to figure out which of the screams, yelps and incoherent murmurs belong to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (YYYs) leading lady, Karen O and which belong to the...

When it comes to making his guitar sing Built To Spill's Doug Martsch may be second only to J. Mascis in the indie world...

September 29th saw the release of I and Love and You, the new studio album from indie roots band the Avett Brothers...

I guess I'm just going to have to face it, gone are the days when you could rely on the Flaming Lips to provide you with quirky, humorous pop songs...

With all of the hoopla over the now confirmed 2010 Pavement reunion shows, the release of Spiral Stairs' debut solo album has been quite overshadowed...

Danish electro pop duo The Raveonettes are back with their new studio album In and Out of Control. If you own any of the previous Raveonettes albums you will not be surprised by what you hear...

I was approached to review the new Lucero album and I thought I would give this "new band" a shot. After doing some research on this band I have realized my mistake. This band will probably be one of those "overnight successes" that took 10 years to happen...

Pelican are Pelican, but more. Massive instrumental tracks that build off of a few droning riffs, occasionally more heavy but often more prog-like than the bands they get compared to. "What We All Come To Need" can be ponderous, but it still works....

King Charles released their first single in May, to only a little press attention but a lot of mine. They have an incredibly unique sound - distortion, synth, blunt South London accents, folk elements and heavy guitars...

I'll just get something out of the way first off - I have an immediate reaction to bands with 'theory' in the title. I don't like theory, it's too wishy-washy and people spend so much time debating and discussing it to get any real work done...
