Catching Up With Graham
The fall is fully upon us. I’ve been seeing a bunch of great shows lately: Lianne La Havas at Amoeba, Thee Oh Sees, Animal Collective / Flying Lotus / Huun Huur Tu at Hollywood Bowl, Brooklyn Brothers, Mount Analog presents Nuit Noire, and more. Here’s a picture from Earlimart’s Record Release Party this past Friday […]
New Music from John Cale
It’s no exaggeration to say that John Cale has worked with some of the most influential artists of the 20th century. During his early years as a classical musician he performed with John Cage and drew compositional inspiration from contemporary Aaron Copeland. From there, he went on to co-found the Velvet Underground with Lou Reed. […]

Onuinu Going for Adds
We first introduced Onuinu (pronounced “on-you-in-you”) to you this past summer, now we are happy send you his full-length Mirror Gazer. The Portland-based artist speaks deftly about his sound, which at its core is a hodgepodge of electronic, hip-hop, house, and R&B. The gauzy mix all started with bedroom experiments on samplers and 8-track recorders. […]
Earlimart’s “97 Heart Attack” Going for Adds – Digital Servicing Only
For years, Earlimart have paired lush, lovely acoustic guitar songwriting with disenchantment. Their dichotomy is similar to that of the central California city the duo take their name from. Consisting mainly of wide-open spaces, this could be seen as quaint to some and frustratingly desolate to others — compelling one to either add something ugly […]
Sun Araw Pitchfork Album Review
Sun Araw‘s sixth album in four years, The Inner Treaty, has Cameron Stallones expounding on his concept of the genres that make up his unique sound. The six songs deconstruct these influences down to their core elements — to the point where they crystallize into a never before heard collection of music. The reggae and […]
So Many Wizards – Filter Review – Biggest Mover at CMJ
The debut record by So Many Wizards reached a new peak at CMJ this past week, making it the biggest mover on the charts moving from #190 to #50. Helping it with such a jump is the kiwi-jangle of “Lose Your Mind” and the dizzying and infectious “Inner City”. Filter Magazine reviewed the record calling […]

Eau Claire’s Daredevil Christopher Wright toured extensively this summer in support of their sophomore record The Nature of Things. The group’s classical singing upbringing, folk tones, and intricate musicianship was put on display when they visited Chicago’s Audiotree studios for a special performance. The group’s three members, brothers Jon and Jason Sunde & friend Jesse […]
Brooklyn Brothers’ “Come On Girl” Rolling Stone Premiere
Brooklyn Brothers‘ sound combines poignant but twee folk with, as front man Ryan O’Nan describes in a NY Times interview, cheery children’s toy instruments that “you got for Christmas in the ’80s, you played for an hour, and then you shoved under your bed for the rest of your life.” The result, like the similarly […]

Brooklyn Brothers Going For Adds
Last week, we sent you the Brooklyn Brothers album, also going for adds today and tomorrow. Brooklyn Brothers‘ sound teeters between the wide-eyed optimism of a grade school kid and the jadedness of a brokenhearted twentysomething. The songs were written by singer Ryan O’Nan and his two friends from college, whose band inspired the Brooklyn Brothers‘ […]
So Many Wizards Impose Album Review
The debut record from LA based So Many Wizards has introduced the band’s gauzy, beachy sound to an audience outside of their DIY-circle. In the week that it was made available and went for adds, it managed to debut in the CMJ top 200. Impose Magazine gave Warm Nothing a glowing review saying “So Many […]
