From Glasgow To Taby
By riverphoenix in Releases
We just got the new video from Stockholm based indiepop band Robert Church & The Holy Community for his song ”From Glasgow To Täby”. The track will be out on Fox Pop in 2012. Dreamy lo-fi pop from Sweden...just the way we like it! Artist.Site
Back to Black for Amy
By riverphoenix in News
"Troubled singer Amy Winehouse, who has battled drink and drug problems, is found dead at her London home at the age of 27", said the BBC. Another genuine talent lost at an early age. Although in the case of Amy, it was unfortunately not a surprise since her problems with drugs and alcohol were
[..continues]Beirut moving to East Harlem
By riverphoenix in Releases
Can't really think what to write about this. A Brand new single from Beirut titled East Harlem and a new album coming in August (The Rip Tide). A bit over three minutes of gorgeous bronze melodies...simply perfect! Artist.Site
Hold the Lollipops
By riverphoenix in New Artists
Athens66 is used to listening to bands coming from different parts of the world. However, today's band really surprised us. Once you start listening to the Lollipops' debut album Hold! it will be really difficult to guess that all this 50's and 60's inspired rock is coming from Poland. The band

By riverphoenix in Releases
It's been my favorite track the last few days so I thought I'd share it with you. The Valley from the great new album by Okkervil River titled I am Very Far. Turn it up! Artist.Site
Arpline and their Travel Book
By riverphoenix in New Artists
We just received the upcoming album from a new band from Brooklyn called ArpLine. The album is titled Travel Book and includes their first singles Make it Rain and Fold Up like a Piece of Paper, which we thought of sharing with you. A mix of 70's rock with modern pop makes this one instantly enj
[..continues]Kordan is getting Closer
By riverphoenix in Releases
Kordan have just released a new video to their shoegazing track Closer. Beautiful track for a lazy Sunday afternoon from their amazing debut The Longing. The band is also working on their follow-up , so hopefully we'll soon have some new tracks as well. Until then, enjoy! Artist.Site
Battles serving an Ice Cream
By riverphoenix in Releases
I was wondering when Battles will finally release some new material. The (now) trio has released the first single titled Ice Cream from the upcoming album Gloss Drop. The single has a summer breeze indeed (featuring Matias Aguayo on vocals) and the full work will be released June 7 on Warp Recor
[..continues]Where the Pains Belong
By riverphoenix in Releases
One of the most anticipated releases of the year, well for Athens66 at least, is finally here. The brilliant NYC band Pains of Being Pure at Heart is following up their magnificent debut after 2 years with Belong, available March 29th on Slumberland records. We won't go into too many details, si
[..continues]Another Asteroid Jingle
By riverphoenix in Releases
Music in commercials has always been interesting. From the 50's jingles to the Dandy Warhols, more and more bands are finding their way to the charts through commercials, including the Los Campensinos sell-out for a Bud commercial last year (who would have expected that?). And doing it once seems
[..continues]Polly lets England Shake
By riverphoenix in Releases
PJ Harvey is one of those women that seem to get better with age (a rare kind). And I'm not only referring to her looks (let's be honest...she's not really your next top model) but mostly to her music. Or at least this is what Polly is proving to us all with her latest (eighth) studio album titled
[..continues]Would Acid House Kings Say Stop?
By riverphoenix in Releases
One of our favourite Swedish bands is coming out with a new album next month. Acid House Kings are launching their Music Sounds Better with You album on the 22nd of March and have just released a new single (out on the 3rd of March) titled Would you say Stop? A beautiful pop melody that only the S
[..continues]A Lotus Flower by Radiohead
By riverphoenix in Releases
An amazingly boring video for a nice song. The first single from the upcoming The King Of Limbs album from Radiohead was released a couple of days ago. The track is Lotus Flower and features Thom Yorke improvising some jazzy/free dances. I was bored in less than a minute by what I was seeing but t
[..continues]A Lost Dream by Digits
By riverphoenix in Releases
Our friend Alt Altman from Digits has just shared with us his latest single Lost Dream. A beautiful pop melody with a dreamy touch. Another great track from Digits...can't wait for the follow-up of Hold It Close! You can down the song for free along with more tracks from Digits at his site. We've
