Metric have clearly won me over with their fourth outing, Fantasies. I’ve mentioned the album several times now, not just because I’m keeping up with press releases or tour announcements, but because I honestly think this is the most consistent and complete album they’ve ever made. Fantasies is clearly Metric’s big push for mainstream acceptance, [...]
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs continue their publicity blitz (har har) for album #3. They’ve announced an admittedly short tour in support of It’s Blitz, which I assume will be fleshed out with more dates soon (Wisconsin and Missouri but no Southwest dates?).

She’s just an amazing singer/songwriter, and her music possesses an emotional depth one would never expect from such a young person. When her record drops here on May 19th I fully predict [...]
Wow! The Horrors have seriously stepped up their game. I loved the creepy, Crampsesque goth-garage of their first album, but this is definitely a new and interesting direction to take. Production duties on new album Primary Colours were Chris Cunningham (previously known mostly for his music video work), Craig Silvey and Geoff Barrow of Portishead. [...]
I first mentioned Ibiza Rocks about a month ago. Ibiza is somewhat mythical to Americans – the best we’ve got is Rocky Point or Daytona or Lake Havasu, and I’m fairly certain it just isn’t the same thing. Then again, grass is always greener and all that…
