It's been quite some time since this hipster-die-hard band released anything new and now girls (and boys alike?) in their skinny ripped jeans and moccasins are jumping with glee about the news of Animal Collective's next album. The last work this collaboration put together was in 2009 and arguably one of their most successful, Merriweather Post Pavilion. Now Animal Collective has nearly completed their next album and internet rumours have been brewing that it is intact and actually already finished. Both of the tracks...

The battle for sub-genres continue with this next seapunk chapter installed by UK-based duo Tsars. The 7th release (SPLASH007) to be out since Albert Redwine of Kansas City started Coral Records. Coral Records is beginning to shift gears with this new release as they bring in a more techno and minimalistic attitude to their records. "Love 44" has the blissful ocean voice synth that is a signature in seapunk music. I'm more accustomed to hearing juke and jungle beats, so this is a nice switch. Here we get a change and...

The Flaming Lips are on an apparently endless creative stream. Last year saw the release of no less than 9 EPs of new music - two of those being the much famed 6-hour and 24-hour songs, which, by themselves, already top some bands' entire discographies length - and now they're back with an entire...
"Mainly, I am stuck in a surf rock rut" introduces Logan Hyde seconds within of Zen Tiger's newest (potentially the first?) track. Zen Tiger is the alliance of Dale W. Eisinger and Hyde as both of them are currently touring with Youth Lagoon, supporting Powers' live band. Eisinger on the drums...
Everything Greenspan touches turns to gold. The latest single from California’s oOoOO is orally bona fide with his electrifying churnings. Rightfully titled "Coachbagg...", this track has shimmers and twirls which glides smoothly for the ride. The electronic instrumentals are as stated via...
Seapunk founder and 8-bit hero Unicorn Kid is back with his answer to all this New York Times seapunk hype. The 20-year-old Edinburgh-based Unicorn Kid is best know for his seapunk work with tunes such as "Chrome Lion" and "True Love." This one is in the same ocean but on a different depth. He...
![The Dictaphone - The Dictaphone [Album]](/thumbs/post/320x152/girl-cig-beer10.png)
You know my list of cool French things, yeah? Well I have an addition. This band. The Dictaphone. They aren't your average lo-fi-psychedelic-surf-punk-pop-rock (whatever) band that's propped up on its last limb by a Tumblr page full of Instagrams and reverb-soaked vocals. They're actually good....

This is your Daily 2% - Chilled and Ready to Serve. We will try to bring you one "chill" track every day. This is for when you get home and you are trying to unwind. You reach for that glass of wine or that unlit Black & Mild or maybe you reach for something more herbal. This track is for...
