somebody recently was mentioning the lack of a proper preview of the new Band of Horses album… and here is a nice little track from Cease To Begin for your rocking pleasure. It’s got a nice little rocksplosion in it too. They do that dramatic shit real well.

“We just had a meeting…today,” Greenwood told Paste.com on September 7. “We’re very relieved to have finished recording. Now we have to decide what we should do with it.”
I hope what they decide involves us hearing it.

Les Savy Fav: Slugs in the Shrubs

That’s the name of one of the tracks on the soon-to-be-released iTunes only EP of B-sides and rarities from Midlake called Oak & Julian.
You can listen to it on Midlake’s MySpace page, and buy the whole damn thing when it’s released on iTunes next Tuesday, September 4.
I like Midlake. Do you?

I’m so obsessed with this record that I shouldn’t be the one reviewing it. So I won’t. I’ll just say this instead: track four, “She’s the One,” is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard, and track eight’s (”Irene”) panning and fading just about put me in a permanent state of acidic flashbackery.
These […]

Here’s one of the (many) things I don’t understand about Pitchfork. As you saw from Frazer’s post below, the wild wild internet experienced a bit of a false start this morning when an alleged leaked track from Radiohead’s new album surfaced on a random MySpace fan page. To everyone’s dismay, it was later revealed that […]

Myspace seems the most unlikely place to hear the first leak of a new Radiohead studio track. Yet, there it is. I don’t know who these guys with the page are, but someone obviously does.
Oh and by the way, the song’s title is Arpeggi. It’s brilliantly simple and not what I […]

I hate to keep mentioning Pitchfork in every RTP review, but after seeing this pre-cursor to their review of Stars’ latest offering, I couldn’t resist:
“Not out in record stores until late September, the Canadian indie pop band and its label Arts & Crafts wisely made its theatrical new album available for digital sales before it […]

I’m excited for the 9/11 release of Pinback’s latest offering, Autumn of the Seraphs, but it sure would be nice to be able to review the record in its entirety prior to the actual release date (hint hint).
In the meantime, you can stream “From Nothing to Nowhere” here to get a taste of what the […]

It’s no secret that RTP are huge fans of St. Vincent. We’ve been informally reviewing (praising) Marry Me for the past couple months, so no need for a formal critique here. I say we review another review instead.

For once I agree with Pitchfork, and my review of their review of St. Vincent’s Marry Me is […]

Even though these guys allegedly broke up last year, a song off their self-titled inaugural LP (”Anecdote”) recently appeared in a television commercial for Sprint. Also allegedly, Ambulance front man Marcus Congleton is keeping the Ambulance LTD name and working on the now one-man-band’s second album, according to NME.
This band’s first record is really […]
