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...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.

Melbourne five-piece Clubfeet “create music for the night time, which can also be enjoyed in the day time”. It is dreamy, melancholic indie-pop, that sounds just as inspiring on a club floor on a Saturday night as it does on a lazy Sunday by the sea side, something you could file next Junior Boys, Hot Chip , Fujiya & Miyagi and M83 . Clubfeet‘s Last Words EP came out about a month ago, featuring stellar remixes from French House legend Dimitri From Paris, Andrew Maury of RAC and London’s nu...Read Full Story

December 10th, 2008 2:01pm BLK JKS - “Lakeside” I’m not sure how to describe South Africa’s BLK JKS other than to say that they don’t sound like what I expected. But then again, what should one expect from an African band who is adored by Fader, but whose EP is now being released by Secretly Canadian , home of the beardiest, scruffiest, 1970-est singer-songwriters this side of Bedford Avenue? I think the easiest comparison for modern day readers-of-music-blogs would be to say that...Read Full Story
