Future of Forrestry New Album Series – Part 1: Traveler

Future of Forestry has not one new album, but four new albums coming soon. The first? Travel. Wait, it gets better: you can download the new song, Traveler’s Song, for free!

Previously named “Something Like Silas”, the band was signed and decided to rebirth under the name “Future…

Listen to Metric – Fantasies – A Broken Social Scene-er

Fantasies is Metric’s fourth studio album, and it’s four times awesomer than most everything else 2009 has heard. You may have heard lead singer and songwriter Emily Haines’ voice before as she has been featured on Stars‘ albums, and (like many other amazing artists) is part of the Broken Social Scene.

Fantasies has a very interesting…

Animal Collective – Merriweather Post Pavilion – Listen to the Whole Album

Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavilion is easily one of 2009′s best, and you can listen to the whole thing right here! Animal Collective has been around for years, and they have a cult-like following who would probably secede from the union to live in an Animal Collective commune if they could (which would be bad news for us, because they’re from Baltimore, MD)…

Listen to a few tracks, and you be the judge.

Thirteen Senses has been picking…

Mew’s New Album Due in June

Many of you have been waiting in eager anticipation for the new Mew album. Finally, the new Mew record is ready to go. It’s been recorded and produced, and in June it will be listened to en masse.

Hailing from Copenhagen, Denmark, Mew first broke onto the scene in 2003 with their album, Frengers which won the “Album of the Year” and “Band of the…

Dead Child Star – Stars Side Project

Stars continues to be on my favorite bands. One of their frontmen, Torq, will be completing his own side project this year entitled “Dead Child Star.” Amy Millan (who has such a rad voice) did her own thing recently, and she’s also slated for a new album in
