Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin Lets it Sway…

Back in the Saddle Sink / Let it Sway Banned (by the Man) First off, I’ve listened to this album so much, it might be a little difficult for me to be unbiased.  But I guess that’s the point now isn’t it?  Either way, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin has just released their newest album, and it’s quickly become a go to for me.

Magic Kids’ new album Memphis is a lot of fun.

Phone Magic Kids’ new album Memphis is out today, and if you’ve been keeping up here, you may have noticed I’ve really been enjoying the tracks they have released from this album.  What’s upsetting is that the release seems to have been better to coincide with the beginning of summer rather than the end.  But as we nearly reach September, this might just be what you need to keep the summer going for a few more weeks. The aforementioned, Phone, screams 60’s infused pop with a huge amount of Herman’s Hermits in it… see: Something Tells Me I’m Into Something…

Album Review? Menomena’s Mines

TAOS FIVE LITTLE ROOMS Dirty Cartoons I remember hearing Menomena for the first time at a show here in Boston.   They were opening for Barsuk labelmates the Long Winters.  There were tons of issues with the sound and they were supremely frustrated.  But what I did get to hear spurred me to purchase both their albums, I am the Fun Blame Monster and Friend and Foe.  Friend and Foe had totally blown me away, it was funky, it was experimental and totally fun for me. Fast forward three years later, Menomena releases two singles for their upcoming album.  The…
