Hills Like Elephants | "Fall Through" EXCLUSIVE [audio]

Thu, 08/15/2013 - 15:58 by vanessa

San Diego quintet Hills Like Elephants return with the moody and introverted new single "Fall Through". The sound is a departure from their known brand of indie white-boy soul. After their ill-fated sophomore LP, they fell out with their previous record label which lead them into what they are now referring to as The Bedroom Sessions, which will be followed up by their 3rd LP which is being recorded at Lost Ark Studios.

In a World... [REVIEW]

Thu, 08/15/2013 - 06:51 by Natasha Neale

I was once cast to voice a thirteen-year-old Korean boy (for the record, I am a Chinese Canadian female, and was twenty-three at the time) for an anime series. It was nice to know that I had "the voice" for this particular role, especially since I had always thought of my voice as sounding like a "sexy baby." Lake Bell is all too familiar with this, and, in her directorial debut, challenges this male dominated voice-over industry with In a World... 

Lovelace

Mon, 08/12/2013 - 13:08 by Natasha Neale

Lovelace is a true story of fame, abuse and betrayal set against the sexual revolution of the 1970s. Starring Amanda Seyfried as Linda Lovelace—who does a brilliant job, by the way—the film tells the story of Linda's life from living at home with a domineering religious mother (Sharon Stone); then breaking away from her by falling into the hands of charismatic hustler Chuck Traynor, played by Peter Sarsgaard. 

EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY | PRINCE AVALANCHE [REVIEW]

Wed, 08/07/2013 - 09:20 by Natasha Neale

Being Texan natives, Explosions In The Sky often sound like they're writing a love letter to the vastness of their state's landscape. That wandering, raw, unpolished quality, and the fact they have no words in their songs, makes their music easily translatable to a film score. Written as a soundtrack to a film of the same name, Prince Avalanche has more complex arrangements than earlier EITS. It also feels a little mellower though, which will probably be a let down for fans of the group.

Another collaboration we couldn’t have done better if we chose it ourselves, dropped this month. Backpack gurus JanSport have got together with San-Fran based streetwear visionary Benny Gold and iconic Pendleton to create a collection of packs and accessories that bring out and combine the best of each brand with end results you’ll covet until you get your hands on one.

Tennis System | Technicolour Blind [VIDEO]

Tue, 07/30/2013 - 01:16 by Natasha Neale

Known for their lo-fi psychedelia style, Tennis System premieres their latest video for "Technicolour Blind." The first 23-seconds hits you with strobe effects and fast edits—the video comes with a warning for those people with photosensitivity to refrain from viewing it—while in the calmer moments, front man, Matty Taylor soothes us with post

RocketNumberNine | MeYouWeYou [REVIEW]

Mon, 07/29/2013 - 10:47 by Natasha Neale

Response to RocketNumberNine’s debut album was pretty darn good. Four Tet signed them to his Text label without hesitation, and the Godfather of all that is right with music, Thom Yorke, invited them on tour with him. When I played their most recent album to a group of friends, many continued to chatter. One glanced towards me with a puzzled look on his face. “Techno?!” Tech….no. Not exactly.
