• New Soft Pack Video - "Answer To Yourself" (Stereogum Premiere)

  
  Stereogum — Authority: 733
  San Diego quartet the Soft Pack were called the Muslims when we suggested you keep your eyes on them . They shifted the name, but their Strokes-esque Stooges-inspired post-punk rock n roll remains the same (even when they go acoustic ). They reminded me of a preppy Richard Hell and the Voidoids when I first heard ...

• Quit Your Day Job: Bear In Heaven

  
  Stereogum — Authority: 733
  A couple of months ago, we posted Bear In Heavens " Lovesick Teenagers " in the midst of the deaths of John Hughes and Patrick Swayze. It colored the song then and has provided me a framework that still affects me when I hear it. The Jon Philpot-fronted Brooklyn (via Georgia and Alabama) quartet offer a number of ...

• The Mary Onettes Visit NYC

  
  Stereogum — Authority: 733
  Swedens the Mary Onettes are 80s radio playlists raiders of the highest order. On the best tracks from their second LP Islands , the band finds a wistful sweet spot between synthetic swell (everyone from New Order to a-ha) and new romantic swoon (the Cure, or even Echo & The Bunnymen). Last week, they came ...

  Stereogum — Authority: 733
  You wouldnt be faulted if OX , Coalesces first album in almost a decade, shocked you with its overall raw, vital energy. "Reunions" dont often work this well. That said, as I mentioned shortly before its release in June, the new collection ranks with their classic 0:12 Revolution In Just Listening and, yup ... I ...

  Stereogum — Authority: 733
  In the one-sheet for Warm Brother , Arizona-bred Digital Leather mastermind Shawn Foree talks about coming up with his current moniker after years of taking acid and making home recordings on his 4-track: i think the combination of drugs and reading too much postmodern theory (baudrillard, lyotard, lacan) is what ...

• New Memory Tapes - "Graphics (Sci-Fi Edit)" (Stereogum Premiere)

  
  Stereogum — Authority: 733
  When Dayve Hawk edited " Graphics " for UK radio he opted out of a simple abridgment, instead slicing and dicing it while also folding in new passages and a clipped futuristic (less backward looking) beat. Hence the title. On a structural level, the songs gone from 6 minutes to 3 and its been remastered: Take a look ...

• New Blessure Grave - "Stranger In The House"

  
  Stereogum — Authority: 733
  Gothy San Diego Outsiders Blessure Grave recently graced us with the appropriately dark, dramatic Adam Grabarnick-directed video for " Open Or Shut ." We dont have moving images this time, but in "Stranger In The House" Reyna and Toby conjure more than enough darkness without turning on a video camera. The songs a ...

  Stereogum — Authority: 733
  Or vice versa. You guys often accuse the synth-pop crew for not smiling enough, but the Philly/NYC BTW provide the chirpy soundtrack for this joyful new Holiday Season Radio Shack ad. (Thanks for the tip, Zach .) The Caralee-fronted " Life Magazine " does the honors. Too bad they couldnt talk the company into ...

• Black Moth Super Rainbow Remix Air (Stereogum Premiere)

  
  Stereogum — Authority: 733
  The psychedelic Pittsburgh analog experimentalists contribute a thick layer of dandelion gum to Love 2 s pastoral, carefree " Sing Sang Sung ." Black Moth Super Rainbows teeming fuzz keeps the song pleasant, but does bring a bit of darkness to the picnic. Or, more accurately, a bit of barometric pressure. Itd go ...

  Vampire Weekends sold out show at the Art Theater of Long Beach followed a couple of secret-ish L.A. outings -- at the former site of Madame Wongs on Halloween (Ezra was dressed as Jon Gosselin, or a douchebag, or both ) and at Hollenbeck Rec Center the following day -- but Koenig called last night the first ...
