click here to stream the excellent new album from a band that should have been much better known on their first time around. don't sleep on 'em this time.
the strokes : fast animals (stream)
from the new album, a b-side that should not have been relegated to b-side status.

austra : home (stream)
you're either extremely taken by katie stelmanis' vibratto or extremely bothered by it. i fall into the former category.
quadron : hey love (stream)
one half of the duo rhye is also one half of this duo, quadron. this is a pretty good dance-pop song.

smith westerns : varsity (stream)
new track from lp3 from one of my favorite bands. dudes will be blowing up any moment now.
wampire : spirit forest (stream)
another nice and weird one from portland's wampire, who seem poised to follow in the psych-footsteps of mgmt, umo, and foxygen.
Last week we started work on the next record and put some pictures up here: instagram.com/spoontheband

nice article on the somewhat tired topic of the prevalence of auto-tune in music today, with a short but interesting / disturbing aside about the human ear becoming less able to fall in love with "unique"vocal takes and styles (e.g. dylan, hendrix, mangum, etc.). read it here.
akron/family : until the morning (stream)
a meaty space-folk jam from akron/family's forthcoming lp, until the morning.
