Alex Winston: King Con Review
posted by Lesson25
Here it is, ladies and gentlemen: The best album of 2012 (so far): King Con by Alex Winston. From track one through 12, Alex Winston’s “King Con” is the blueprint for how to write an indie pop album. It’s the ideal image of American society: a melting pot. Except instead of throwing cultures and people in the melting pot, we’re throwing in music – done to perfection. Every song boasts a diverse palette of instruments, which isn’t hard to do, but maintaining a musical center of balance is. It’s not easy to make an ’80s-reggae-influenced track have the same feel as the folk-synth track...

You may have noticed in my interviews with Rob de Large and Crumps, a certain word kept popping up: “Anger” Well, get ready to hear that word a hella lot more. Rob has been telling me about this track for months. I’ve been curious about the release date, but soon the wait...
Hundred Waters: The ...

Some bands get started with the aim of making it big; dreaming of fame, fortune and everything that goes with it. (Yes, that was a Queen reference — I thank you all.) Sometimes, those bands achieve success and hit the big time. Sometimes, those bands fail and are left forgotten by the pages...

If you were alive in 2009, it was damn near impossible to walk into a club and not hear Sonic C.’s “Stickin’”. This track has a Dutch House style build and drop immediately recognizable to anyone who heard at least some of it before. Of course, I do not mean the Sonic...

Break out the track suit, high tops, fresh fade and bust that Juke. I’m talking about the dance genre known for intricate drum patterns, chopped up samples and fancy footwork. One of my favorite producers in the genre, Juke Ellington, has been killing it the past few weeks with tons of...
Daft Punk’s New Album Featuring Nile Rodgers
posted by Kat Bein
Holy shit. Holy shit. HOLY FUCKING SHIT. This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Some kind of real confirmation that our favorite French robots, the best of the best in dance floor designer beats, the masters of all you know are back in the studio. I point you to this article from Houston’s Culture Map, in which Nile Rodgers, the man behind the funky sounds of 1970s disco/funk/soul outfit Chic, talks about beating cancer and getting ready for the ultimate come-back: teaming up with Daft Punk to work on their epicly long-awaited fourth album (because I guess Tron doesn’t count, even though I love that soundtrack,...

Perfectos – The End Of The World (Again)
posted by Lesson25
If you want to be overly simplistic about things, there are two ideologies in today’s world of independent rock music: There is the camp that thinks the best way to catch ears is by creating a unique sound as an artist using every experimental trick in the book. Then there’s the camp that thinks all you need is a good, catchy song. That’s where Brenton Stanley, vocalist and guitarist of The Perfectos, falls. Sure, he’s got organs and pianos backing his traditional rock three-piece foundation, but that’s where the bells and whistles end. The Perfectos’ new seven-song EP, “The End Of The World...
