The B-sides and rarities collection from Rilo Kiley, aptly titled RKives, is available for streaming a week early via Pitchfork Advance. The thing is, you can only listen until April 8 at midnight.
Some folks talk about Elephant Stone in relation to other bands founding member and sitar virtuoso Rishi Dhir has played with (Black Angels, Brian Jonestown Massacre, the Horrors, et. al.), but the band’s material is stout enough to stand on its own. The Québécois psych rockers put out a self-titled album earlier this year, and here’s a song from it.
The new Black Rebel Motorcycle Club record is out now, and you can stream the album in its entirety. If you’re a fan of the BRMC’s early work, you’ll definitely enjoy Specter at the Feast.
The Strokes have shared their new album, Comedown Machine, with us a week early via Pitchfork Advance. The thing is, you can only listen until March 25 at midnight. So get to it!
UPDATE: The album is no longer available to stream online.
Since the lineup for Forecastle 2013 is here and tickets are on sale, we’re already getting ourselves pumped up with this playlist featuring some of the bands that’ll be at the festival this year. You probably should, too, right?
Iggy Pop and the Stooges are back with their first record containing both James Williamson and Scott Asheton in 40 years. It’s called Ready to Die, and it’s out April 30 on Fat Possum. Iggy and the boys have treated us to the first single, Burn. It’s not exactly Real Good Time, but it’ll do.
The lineup for Bonnaroo 2013 has been announced, and it’s a doozy. To get you all pumped up for the festivities in June, here is a playlist with some of the artists featured this year. We didn’t put everyone on the playlist, because that would be too much amazing music for one person to handle. But there’s still lots of good stuff here.
Kurt Vile just announced the release of a new record and gave us a sample of it. On April 9, Vile will release Wakin on a Pretty Daze via Matador. The almost-title track, Wakin on a Pretty Day, has been made available for download as well. It’s a long one, but it doesn’t ramble. Vile hones in on all the right bits and accentuates them in a style that’s instantly familiar (if you were a fan of his last album, Smoke Ring for My Halo) and energizing.
