Beck and Charlotte Gainsbourg’s new collaboration (an album to be released in January entitled, IRM) on the horizon, a music video for the single, “Heaven Can Wait” has been released.
Now despite the fact that I haven’t watched very many music videos in the past year (aside from glances at some shitty Lady GaGa ones that some friends have played in my presence), I’m of the opinion that this has definitely gotta be one of the best of the year.
Heavy rock kings Coalesce and everyone’s favorite space-rock Boston-ites Cave In are playing a FREE show sponsored by none other than Scion at the Knitting Factory this Thursday. This is an amazing line-up and one for rock fans not to miss.
Here’s the new title-track/single off of Minus The Bear’s new album Into the Mirror. A really dope combination of synth, electronic programming and straight up rock goodness. Enjoy!
Danish pop-rock/indie innovators Mew are set to release their new full-length CD, No More Stories Are Told Today I’m Sorry They Washed Away No More Stories The World Is Grey I’m Tired Let’s Wash Away (perhaps the longest album title in awhile, right?) on August 25.
The first single from the album, “Introducing Palace Players” exhibits the band in a new and improved form. Extracting their pop sensibilities from the now classic record, Frengers, and utilizing their aptitude for incorporating tinges of shoegaze into their works, the new CD demonstrates a mature sound that is not likely to disappoint new and old listeners alike. On a personal note, I really can’t get over how well the band hybridizes seemingly prog-rock time changes and mathiness with an extremely accessible pop outer.
Here’s the official music video for “Introducing Palace Players”:
Some dates on the band’s upcoming tour in support of the new record, including dates with NINE INCH NAILS on their farewell tour:
Also included in this post is another snippet from the new record, “Beach”. The song is a strong contrast to the single, and like the title emanates, it’s definitely one to relax/cruise to.
Los Angeles-based disc jockey extraordinaire, Troublemaker, has recently posted a remix of the single “Nothing to Worry About” from everybody’s favorite Swedish indie darlings, Peter Bjorn & John. In light of giving the already dope song a little twist, the remix features Adam Tensta, UNI & The 87 STICK UP KIDS. Definitely worth a look.

Nine Inch Nails is currently on a large-scale tour which has recently brought them to Perth, Australia where they performed at the massive Soundwave Festival. For this special performance of “Wish”, they brought out the incredibly dope mathcore band, The Dillinger Escape Plan. Here’s HD footage of their sick performance:
Kansas post-rockers The Appleseed Cast are back in great form with a new track released from their upcoming sixth full-length album Sagarmatha (to be released in February). The song, “Raise The Sails” features very signature Appleseed Cast characteristics such as building crescendo and a striking balance between delicate and heavy.
California based rock collective Consider The Thief is a band to watch out for in the coming year as the band is recording and gearing up to release their first full-length album. The new track, “On High” is a demo version that the band has thrown up to tease their fans, but it’s immediately clear that the band has progressed immensely since their debut EP Soldiers and Saints. Straying away from their hardcore/screamo leanings (and thankfully so), the band has taken on a more experimental sound and approach.
Viva La Coldplay — Prospekts March just dropped and is available in stores. This is basically the mixtape they never had to put out, because they’re Coldplay. Its an eight song EP with the Lost Remix feat. Jay Z. Viva La Vida is classic, so a follow up EP should be sweet. Just in time for the cold seasons we are beginning to get East of L.A.
