Zach Condon has ended his short break from Beirut and has announced a double EP and the formation of a new record label. The first EP is titled March of the Zapotec , aptly named since Condon “recorded in Mexico with the help of Oaxacan march masters The Jimenez Band.” The Zapotec is an indigenous civilization in Mexico that dates back 2,500 years. March of the Zapotec was partly tracked with a funeral band of 17 members from a tiny town of Oaxaca, Mexico. Zach Condon had begun working on a soundtrack for a film, but Zach decided to continue the project as Beirut ... Read Full Story

May 15th, 2009 7:16pm We posted about Deerhunter’s Rainwater Cassette Exchange EP , but at the time had no clue that it would actually be available on cassette. But it is. Deerhunter are kicking off a big European tour this weekend, and although you can get the EP on Monday as a download, and on 6/22 as both 12″ and CD, if you make it to one of these European tour stops, you can pick up Rainwater Cassette Exchange as God (or, rather, Bradford Cox) intended: on cassette.

Their people shout out.... "With the release of Let’s Stay Friends (out now on Frenchkiss Records), indie art rock mainstays Les Savy Fav start 2008 with their debut national television performance on Conan O’Brien this coming Thursday January 31st, performing their hot single “Patty Lee”. Most recently they have been honored ... Read Full Story

Darker My Love released "2" on Dangerbird Record August 5th. They are at number 17 on the CMJ radio chart, up from 21 last week. Pitchfork gave them a 4.4 rating. That's out 10 so they are way down on the record. The review states "Sadly though, most of 2 relies on slow burners and underwhelming soundscapes intended to overwhelm." I've enjoyed the songs I've heard off the record a lot more than Pitchfork. It's getting a thumbs up from the pants. The song to download is "Two Ways Out."
