First Aid Kit’s last album was well liked at the PeteHatesMusic headquarters, landing at the number 5 spot on our Top Albums of 2012, and their track Emmylou making our Top Songs of 2012. Well then, I’m as happy as...
We have a little ditty for you from Disaster in the Universe. The band are from Norway, which I’m led to believe is somewhere in Europe. The band describes Sunlight as psychedelic rock, but I would classify it as sunny...
Twitter: @PeteHatesMusic March is just about over. To avoid having people think our playlist is an April Fools Day joke – Milli Vanilli, really? – we posted it a day early. That, and Mondays suck (just ask Garfield), so this...
According to the email from the band, they are called DAVIDS. Not Davids, and certainly not David’s. DAVIDS. Now that this is out of the way, Davids DAVIDS has a tune they want us to hear called Iranians. We get...
So, there’s this Boogaloo: …and then there’s THIS Boogaloo. Both are worth your time this weekend.
More stuff from experimental instrumentalists Hiss Tracts. David Bryant and Kevin Doria make up Hiss Tracts, and they previously gave us a video for halo getters. They return with a song called for the transient projectionist. The five minute track...

William Onyeabor – who the hell is he and why are bands covering him? Onyeabor made a bunch of African synth-based music in the 70s and 80s. David Byrne’s Luaka Bop label put out some of his stuff last year,...
If you didn’t hear the amazing Trent Reznor / Nine Inch Nails spoof by Freddy Scott, now is your chance to watch an equally impressive music video for This is a Trent Reznor Song. The original spoof built off of...
Mikal Cronin, who impressed us at NXNE last summer (on a boat, no less), has a new split single with WAND. In new song Soul in Motion, we have a bubbly acoustic track mixed with distorted guitars, and a sunny...
More new stuff from Papercuts, following up that of Still Knocking at the Door. The song is the self titled track from Life Among The Savages, which is also the name of the self-help book from the group that stayed...
BBC Sound of 2014 winner Sam Smith has good news and bad news. The bad is that he won’t be playing in my backyard for me, ever. Oh, and he also delayed his debut album In The Lonely Hour until...
SOHN recently dropped a great video of a 4AD Session for his track Artifice. There’s going to be one 4AD Session released each week in the build up to the April 7 release of Tremors, which is a good thing....
