Editors' Review:

Editors' Review:
For all the indie bands calling their rock "avant-garde," few make the claim meaningful. But the Friedberger siblings have made terrific use of classic a-g tropes in a modern indie mode, working with ... more »

"The songs twist and crawl, avoiding rote verse/chorus/verse structuring for the most part to create something more engaging and stream-of-conscious." - Mike Breen, City Beat

Editors' Review:
Montreal has so moved to Baltimore that you can now get poutine with your crab cakes. Further evidence of the shift in indie-rock geography, if Beach House and Yeasayer weren't enough, comes in the fo... more »

Old-school fans of Sub Pop will be glad to hear that their venerable indie label is dropping a truly ragged, vicious new punk LP. Take the self-soiling name at face value. "Hope for Men" finds Pissed ... more »

Editors' Review:
Pat Noecker's old band, Liars, makes experimental rock too, but it could be bubblegum pop next to These Are Powers' ambitious sonic journeys. TAP's assaults, which display melodies mostly just in pass... more »
