The Strokes
Machu Picchu Another track off the Strokes upcoming album, Angles (out next week), hit the net. It’s a bright, seemingly 80’s influenced song. Now that I’ve heard a few of these songs off the album my managed expectations have been met it’s time to get pretty
Jason Isbell
Codeine Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit will be releasing a new album, Here We Rest, come April 12th via Lightning Rod Records. The single off the album, Codeine, is a country twinged track with a similar feeling to its title. It’s a sleepy, slow paced, lazy song thats

JBM

Larcenist
