Manitoba
Spent some time listening to the first two Caribou albums, released under the name “Manitoba.” The first, Start Breaking My Heart (2001) is just a rather generic electronica album. It’s just sort of a collection of different types of beats. … Continue reading

Bright Eyes – The People’s Key (2011)
The People’s Key is easily the most rock ‘n’ roll project Conor Oberst has worked on, at least since his pre-Bright Eyes days. I have to say I’m a little dissappointed by the direction he took. I think he can … Continue reading

Yuck – Yuck (2011)
Yuck’s self-titled album is their second LP and it’s garage rock that borrows from shoegaze at times and also has a grungy aspect to it as well. The guitars have tons of reverb, sometimes to a fault, and the vocals … Continue reading

Cut Copy – Zonoscope (2011)

British Sea Power – Valhalla Dancehall (2011)

Minks – By the Hedge (2011)
Minks are a duo of shoegazers from New York and By the Hedge is their debut album. I’ve been on a bit of a shoegaze kick of late and I’ve found that many of these artists employ the shoegazing playbook … Continue reading
SINGLE: The Streets – “Going Through Hell”
The Streets’ “Going Through Hell” has already been out for the better part of a year, which almost defeats the purpose of my writing about it here, but since it was put out as a single only a few days … Continue reading
