New Music from Parlovr

March 12, 2012 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Last year we brought you lots of news about Parlovr, one of Montreal’s hottest act. It looks like 2012 is going to give us more of the same; the band is set to release another album, Kook Soul, on Dine Alone Records on May 15th of this year. What I like about our first listen to the new music is the lack of immediacy in the following song. It’s not hitting you over the head, but instead, the band builds their sound slowly, erupting from time to time with spirited pop moments. It’s a slight change in direction, but one you’ll surely love if you just take the time to stream the track below.

Continuing on with our SXSW, today we have DJ-trip hop dupo Javelin answering our round of questions. The cousins, who hail from Brooklyn, are well known for working hard during the festival and always getting a dance party started.

SXSW Interviews: Oberhofer

So many interviews have gone down over the last few days, and this one here is for the continuously rising star, Oberhofer. For me, this is definitely one of the acts you’ve got to pay attention to this year; they’re definitely on my must see list! Here’s their answers to our questions, which, of course, has them missing their cats. Read on for the responses… Read more

SXSW Interviews: Unicycle Loves You

March 11, 2012 RayRay Leave a comment

Unicycle Loves You is a band that I discovered earlier this year and have been really digging ever since. Their music creates this fun pop sense that tends to make you nod your head and smile along to the music. Band member Nikki V was kind enough to answer our tough SXSW questions prior to the festival and her answers can be found after the jump. We hope you enjoy.

SXSW Interviews: Young Empires

March 11, 2012 RayRay Leave a comment

To be perfectly honest, I didn’t know much about Canada based Young Empires prior to sending off these interview questions. While doing a little bit of research on the group, I found myself jamming to their brand of new wave/dance music similar to The Rapture or even Cut Copy. It’s now always my thing, but SXSW can definitely bring out the inner dance child inside. After the jump you can find interview questions from Jacob Palahnuk, bass player for the band.

SXSW Interviews: Prince Rama

March 9, 2012 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

As we continue our SXSW coverage, we’re bringing to you a group that sadly gets lumped in with psychedelic rock, not that we don’t like that style, but Prince Rama is so much more than that. They’re a whole lot more experimental, combinging elements of Eastern world music, creating an atypical sound from the get-go. They played a great show in Austin earlier this year with Gang Gang Dance, so we expect another great performance. Oh, and apparently cats are the loneliest thing if their owned by touring bands.

SXSW Interviews: Yukon Blonde

Yukon Blonde continue are SXSW interviews today. The band, while never featured on our site, are a worthy garage rock/punk band that you’ll definitely want to give a listen to this week during the festival. Band member John Jeffry was kind enough to answer our round of SXSW questions and his answers can be found after the jump.

SXSW Interviews: K-Holes

March 9, 2012 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

K-Holes are one of the bands that you’re either going to love or hate, though I’d prefer if you loved them. Every time I listen to their single for their upcoming record, Dismania, I nostalgically wander back to the early days of Liars. We caught up with them via email before their trip to SXSW, and they threw some humor our way, which is always appreciated. Thanks Mr. Baxter for the interview hookup. Here’s answers from the band… Read more

Just before Bear in Heaven releases their newest album, I Love You It’s Cool, they’ll be making their way down to Austin to party with us for SXSW. Well, not us, but you, and all the rest of the festival goers. They’ve been remixing records and throwing out hits for a couple of years now, so you better get out there and enjoy! Thanks to Grace for helping set up the interview with Adam! Read more

SXSW Interview: Seapony

March 8, 2012 nathan.lankford 2 comments

Last year Seapony seemingly came out of nowhere, casting their dream pop across the globe, and definitely won some hearts over here at Austin Town Hall. Their record, Go With Me, on Hardly Art still plays on at my house non-stop. We caught up with the band before they head our way (and play our show!). They’ll be at our party at 2:45, so be sure not to miss it! Read more
