Album Stream – Weepikes : We are Weepikes
Weepikes is a pronk/alternative rock band from Helsinki, Finland. The first incarnation of the band was active only for a short period of 3 years from 1994 to 1997, when they released ep’s on Finnish indie labels like Trash Can Records and Bad Vugum. Since 2010, after 13 years of hiatus Weepikes is back and working on new songs.
Below is a digital release of “we are weepikes”, which will be released on cd 02/15/2013.
MP3 – Pure X : Things In My Head
The stars at night are big and bright. Clap Clap Clap. Deep in the heart of Texas band Pure X. Listen to their newest track – “Things In My Head” – off the band’s upcoming May LP – Crawling Up the Stairs.
MP3 – Dick Diver : Water Damage
Melbourne’s Dick Diver released their first single – “Water Damage” off their upcoming album Calendar Days, out March 16. Listen to this mellow, jangly, dream-pop gem below:
Video – Animal Collective : Applesauce
Gaspar Noé directs the new video from Animal Collective for the track – “Applesauce”.
Video – Grizzly Bear – Gun Shy
Watch the new squirm/vomit-inducing video from Grizzly Bear for “Gun-Shy”, directed by Kris Moyes. Eyes melting, skin bubbling, veins jumping and a toenail scene that haunts my dreams.
MP3 – The Strokes : One Way Trigger
Julian Casablancas stretches his falsetto range on the new Strokes track, “One Way Trigger”. Stream it below.

MP3 – Nervous Nellie : Gloves
Stockholm’s Nervous Nellie make their American debut with the infectious indie romp “Gloves”. The Gloves EP which showcases four indie pop gems, plus a remix by The Shout Out Louds’ Adam Olenius, will be released on February 12th.
“The idea for the song came after hearing an old Tom Petty drum pattern on an oldies station when out driving one day. After building the beat at the breakfast table the following morning the rest just came naturally. For every writing & recording process there is always that one defining song that helps decide the overall direction & vibe of the final body of work, this is that song for us now. We wanted to do something different from what we’ve done before & we are confident we have succeeded. The fact that Henriks wife finds the verses of “Gloves” to somehow be a little “icky-sounding” tells us that.
Video – Nite Jewel : Memory, Man
Video – SSION : Luvvbazaar
After watching the new Mitch Moore directed video from SSION for “Luvvbazaar”, you will probably never see CVS in the same light again, and that is a good thing.
Video – Dinosaur Jr. : Pierce The Morning Rain
MP3 – Javelin : Nnormal
NY/LA genre-hopping duo Javelin have announced the release of their second full-length Hi Beams, out March 5 with Luaka Bop. Stream the first single ‘Nnormal’ below or download for free in exchange of an email here.
Javelin (cousins George Langford and Tom Van Buskirk) recorded and mixed Hi Beams at Machine With Magnets (Pawtucket, RI) using proper microphones, a vintage mixing desk, an array of amplifiers, real plate reverb – in the traditional sense a “studio album.” Previous work had been cobbled together in home studios and mixed on computer. On this record, Javelin aimed for a sound they could not have achieved by themselves. Hi Beams represents a more holistic approach to writing and recording than previously attempted by the band. The lyrics and vocal harmonies for the first time are foregrounded in decidedly songlike forms. The songs were made to be performed in concert rather than as a patchwork of fragmented glittery shards. They cover a broad range of territories: homage to the strangeness of being a performer; encountering beauty and the void in the natural world; light, sky, stars, moon; gravity, delivered with levity…
Video – Django Django : Hand of Man
Django Django has partnered up with Bafta Award winning director John Maclean, the brother of Django drummer/producer Dave Maclean, for the “Hand of Man” video. They are excited to present this beautifully shot, monochromatic masterpiece, premiered this morning on Nowness. John expands on the film:
“Filmed on black and white super-8 stock. The end of great things. The party was the last day in our friend’s building which will inevitably be knocked down to make way for more dodgy flats with tiny triangle balconies – art, film and music studios destroyed to make way for fast-buck housing developers pricing the working classes and the artists out of central London. The end of film developers and Kodak film stock. And the beginning of great things, Django Django, the spirit of youth, integrity finding a way to live forever, and fresh bread.”
Video – Alexander Spit : That’s Spit
Just now Alexander Spit dropped a cold piece from his forthcoming album on Decon, A Breathtaking Trip To That Otherside dropping January 29th. The start-stop drums might break your neck. Hi Fi Collective did the clip.
Night Moves : Colored Emotions
Recent Domino signing Night Moves are the best local act to emerge from the Twin Cities since Howler and the first noteworthy band of 2013. The Minneapolis-based, classic-rock inspired trio sound like a cross between Gram Parsons, Supertramp and MGMT…with some falsetto Mick Jagger sweet talk mixed in. Named “Best New Band” by Minneapolis City pages, Night Moves are receiving due praise for their debut album Colored Emotions – a sleepy, electr0-psychedelic-country treasure trove of twangy, retro, guitar licks, lush instrumentation and hypnotic harmonies.
