See Magazine discusses the future of album art for indie album artists
Album art was once inseparable from a band’s release. It used to be that to hear an entire album, one had to physically purchase the LP, cover and all, and there was no choice but to see and examine the album art. Cover art needed to stand out and serve as an advertisement for the album, it needed to scream out from the...

WatchSleep Whale
Seems like I’ve stumbled onto a ‘collective band’ here, found by exploring the myspaces of Sunnybrook and Melting Season (the band I just posted moments ago) . Sleep Whale also includes Abacus and Northern. All are Texas bands. All of these artists are putting out some real high quality material, and strongly suggest they be checked out. In the meantime, this video...

WatchMelting Season: Unknown To Birds and Tree
Check this trippy vid I found on Melting Seasons’ Myspace, this is for fans of psych-folk and Animal Collective. You may notice the vocals even sound a little like Panda Bear. If you listen to his player, you’ll see what I mean. I am always so surprised when I find talented musicians with barely any listens on their player.

Paste posts an in-depth article on the Indie culture
Of course, the term “indie” is troubled now, too. Indie is, at once, a genre (of music first, and then of film, books, video games and anything else with a perceived arty sensibility, regardless of its relationship to a corporation), an ethos, a business model, a demographic and a marketing tool. It can signify everything, and it can signify...

Hey y’all, you might have heard of this fella from Gorilla Vs. Bear with his remix of Memoryhouses’ To The Lighthouse. It’s a pretty cool remix, but his solo stuff ain’t half bad either! Currently he has a cassette tape out, which you can get here for seven bucks plus shipping (and it comes with a digital download, which is nice).
No doubt for fans of the infamous...

Chocolate Bobka: The Report
So here’s the deal. McGregor over at Chocolate Bobka has been working hard on creating the Report, which, in short is “…a home for warped ideas germinating in the caves of our contributors craniums for god knows how long. In many respects, the Report is a home for stuff that doesn’t have a home, a quasi orphanage for random thoughts, mind collages, one-off jams and nights...

Under The Radar interviews Neko Case
Your popularity exploded just before the New Pornographers – is there a bit of competition between you guys?
“They’ve always existed together. Basically my band and the New Pornographers have existed for the exact same amount of time. I’ve never had one without the other. There’s never been a competition between the two. We’ve always been very aware...

Really down with this pop gem of a band. This week seems to be the week of ‘indie pop’, with bands such as Happy Birthday and Yuck have been getting some serious blogwaves. Those bands ain’t half bad, but I must say the song ‘Jesus’ available at Jheris’ fucking awesome blog Get Off The Coast is no doubt my song of the week.
