We’re excited to unveil another new column, Double Take. In this bi-weekly editorial, idobi writer Marina Oliver explores the subtle connections between two musical concepts from different moments in time, finding the threads that tie the two together. For the column’s debut, we delve into two quintessential summer albums that are musically different from one another but turn out to have a lot in common: Jack’s Mannequin’s Everything In Transit and The Antlers’ Burst Apart.
Although You’re Always On My Mind marks the second full-length release for A Great Big Pile Of Leaves, it’s the band’s first album with an outside producer (Ed Ackerson) and the musical advances shine through. The album feels like the first time you surpass the “small talk†level with someone and realize that they’re holding plenty of mixed feelings about this whole life thing within themselves, too.
Grouplove have released a new music video for their infectious new single “Ways to Go.” The track comes from their upcoming album Spreading Rumours, due out September 17th, and you can check out the music video as well as details about that album by hitting “Read More.”
With its catchy guitar riffs, fast and hard drum fills, and simple vocal harmonies, Count To Four’s Between Two Cities is a record that begs to be listened to on a hot summer night, with the windows down and the stereo loud.
idobi writer Catherine Yi caught up with lead singer Nathan Hussey of All Get Out at their recent show in Los Angeles to talk about the constant grind of touring, dealing with tough crowds, freestyle lyricism and more.
We are happy to bring you an exclusive stream of Westland’s brand new EP – “Intimacy Without Intricacy” that is due out on January 8th. We’re bringing it to you a week before release date, and you can only stream it here on idobi.com!
Kansas, the second EP from sunflower state natives The After Party, puts the pop in pop rock. With a toned-down sound, this EP will soothe as well as enthuse its listeners.
Polar Bear Club has released a music video for “Screams in Caves” off the band’s album Clash Battle Guilt Pride. The band will be on the entire Vans Warped Tour this summer.
Hostage Calm have entered the studio to begin recording a new album with producer J.Robbins (Jets To Brazil, Against Me!). The album, titled Please Remain Calm, is due out on Run For Cover Records this fall.
Canadian singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen’s Curiosity already has fans crushing and the EP hasn’t even dropped in the US yet. Once it does, expect middle school girls (and boys) wearing Carly Rae Jepsen t-shirts, backpacks, everything – this girl is the next big pop crush.
