You Have To Hear: Vampire Weekend’s New Songs

November 27, 2009 by Lachy 0 Comments

See my review of the full album here. Vampire Weekend are back, and in the leadup to the 2010 release of their new LP ‘Contra’, they have revealed two new songs, Horchata and Cousins. They’re both catchy pop summer tunes; nothing truly special but worth checking out all the same. Since in the leadup to […]

You Have To Hear: Freelance Whales

November 24, 2009 by Lachy 1 Comment

Freelance Whales formed in Queens, New York in late 2008, and have already self-released their debut LP, ‘Weathervanes’. It is refreshing to see a band confident enough to jump straight into releasing their own full length debut, rather than messing around with several EPs and repetitive live shows, trying to find their sound.

The Chairs are an indie rock band from Wisconsin, which of course is most famous at the moment for the rather magnificent claim of having given birth to Bon Iver. They have taken the interesting strategy of self-releasing their albums and songs, and I mean genuinely self-releasing. This probably helps in some way to add […]

You Have To Hear: Cloud Control

October 28, 2009 by Lachy 0 Comments

Cloud Control are a lovely little indie pop (a term which I have never fully understood) band hailing from Sydney, Australia. They have been creating a bit of a buzz in Australian indie circles for a few years now, although they have achieved this through a mixture of radio-friendly singles and short and sharp EPs […]
