Rec’d MP3: Purity Ring – “Obedear”

Purity Ring have, to date, released three songs; we’d be mad if those three songs weren’t so damn good. Their stingy perfectionism is also a kind of exciting hint –…

Stream: Lower Dens – “Nootropics”

Lower Dens make their dreamy, hazy pop with an irresistible motorik groove that has us completely hooked. The tracks on Jana Hunter and co.’s new record Nootropics are driving and…

New: Niki and the Dove – “Hot Summer”

We like the Swedish duo Niki and the Dove (neither of whom are actually named Niki) for their fractured pop that borders on soul here, electro there, artstep there. We…

Check Out: Sonny and the Sunsets – “Pretend You Love Me”

The highly versatile Bay Area musician Sonny Smith and his band the Sunsets make music that’s totally irresistible and totally underrated, and hopefully the latter is about to change, because…

New: AlunaGeorge – “Just a Touch”

You know we’re loving the UK production duo AlunaGeorge’s thoroughly updated reinvention of ‘90s pop (we’ve waxed poetic enough about “You Know You Like It,” that’s for sure) – we’re…

New: Beach House – “Equal Mind”

Beach House dropped their Bloom single “Lazuli” on an exclusive 7” for Record Store Day, and now you can sample the b-side, non-album track “Equal Mind.” We wish this one…

Rec’d: St. Vincent – “Krokodil” and “Grot”

Nothing is better than when St. Vincent gets really fucking heavy, right? Nothing is better than when Annie Clark, she of the birdlike bone structure and mad guitar skills, gets…

New: Sigur Ros – “Kvistur”

Sigur Ros are gearing up to release a new record, Valtari, in late May, but they found time to put together a Record Store Day release too. We’ve already heard…

New: Flaming Lips with Ke$ha, Coldplay, Erykah Badu, Others

The Flaming Lips clearly have some great Heady Fwends out there, as evidenced by their Record Store Day release The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends’ impressive list of collaborators: Erykah…

Check Out: Animal Collective – Transverse Temporal Gyrus

Animal Collective’s Record Store Day exclusive 12” release isn’t quite brand new music, but it’ll likely be new to you if you don’t frequent New York’s Guggenheim Museum. The band…

Coachella 2012 Saturday: Who We’re Seeing

You read our guide to Coachella Friday, now here is what we’re doing on Saturday. (Click the arrows to navigate through our itinerary.)

Check Out: Lower Dens – “Lamb”

Lower Dens’ new record Nootropics sounds like krautrock Beach House, which is probably why we’re loving it so much. Second single “Lamb” (it follows up the maybe actually flawless “Brains,”…

MP3: Peaking Lights remix Nite Jewel

If there’s two electronic acts we’re excited by this year, they’re probably Nite Jewel and Peaking Lights, so we’re excited that the psych-dub duo have taken on Nite Jewel’s irresistible…

Check Out: Death Grips – “I’ve Seen Footage”

Here is the first single from what has to be this year’s most impressive rap record; Death Grips’ The Money Store. We pretty much guarantee you’ll be grooving in your…
