The Postelles - The Postelles
Inception proved that being too clever and labyrinthine can result in a Sudoku-like experience that leaves your audience thinking, “Who cares?”, and The Postelles have heeded this lesson. The 4-piece band, aided by The Strokes’ Albert Hammond, Jr. on production, have created a simply visceral affair on their upcoming full-length debut that asks you to put down your measuring stick and move something.
Does a summer album have to be fast-paced, sunny and loud? Sure, these may be characteristics of the summer itself, depending on where you live, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that these have to be characteristics of good summer music. Of course, there are plenty of times when all you want in the summer is to be pumped-up and party and to be moving at 100 mph. But, there are certainly other times when you would just as soon slow things to a near standstill as the temperature nears 100 degrees.
Jahtarian Dubbers Vol. 2

Delta Spirit are precisely one of these bands, and their new album History from Below, is a homage to old-time folk storytelling and songwriting.
We first heard from Small Black last August when the well-timed track Despicable Dogs captured almost perfectly the essence and nostalgia of the fading days of summer. Since then, the promising duo has gained a lot of hype, mainly from Pitchfork (who will certainly not hesitate to tell you that when they play live, the band adds two Pitchfork-tv contributors to complete the set), culminating in the release of a self-titled EP(PF 7.0) released this past September. Now, the group has added five new tracks to the original five from the EP to create a solid full-length album. View Full Article »
