Musical entity Tim Presley (White Fence) has teamed up with Welsh singer-songwriter Cate Le Bon recently decided to team up to carve out a collaborative effort in the form of Drinks. Their first single, and the name of their August-scheduled album, ‘Hermits On Holiday‘, has now received a visual treatment.
Indie rocker Mikal Cronin and band began a UK/EU tour last Thursday (5/28) at Primavera Sound, in support of their third studio album MCIII, out now on Merge. We caught them playing London’s 100 Club last night (6/1), with pictures in this post.
Thee Oh Sees’ John Dwyer has a synthesizer-driven side project called Damaged Bug. He’ll release the new album Cold Hot Plumbs on June 1 via his label Castle Face. Dwyer has also released the video for “Jet in Jungle”. Directed by S. Wadsworth Adams, it features a puppet pilot taking, yes, his jet through a […]
Mikal Cronin has teamed with Funny or Die to create a video for “Say”, one of the standout tracks appearing on the singer-songwriter’s latest album, MCIII.
Segall was a savage behind the kit. Grimy riff after grimy riff oozed off the stage.
And then the pros took the stage. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizards pulled the full crowd, and Fowlers was packed. Their music is thrashy and wild, while still holding tight to a clean sound.
Mutilator Defeated at Last is Thee Oh Sees’ first post-hiatus LP to be recorded using the band’s re-staffed touring lineup.
Melbourne garage rockers King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have both found themselves slated into two US music festivals this upcoming September: Life is Beautiful Music and Art Festival & Hopscotch Music Festival
Tim Presley of White Fence and Welsh singer/songwriter/guitarist Cate Le Bon have teamed up as DRINKS and are releasing their debut album, Hermits On Holiday, on August 21. They have released the album’s title track, “Hermits On Holiday,” featuring Le Bon on lead vocals.
Guitar chops, drum chops, and most definitely bass chops: The Fuzz has it all. The band has a reputation for knowing how to improvise, jam, and shred through a set list. That’s why it sold out the Great American Music Hall Wednesday night on a double bill with only the support of Los Angeles’ Lamps.
San Francisco’s Tim Presley and Welsh-born Cate Le Bon both have fruitful careers in their own right; the former has released a string of albums as White Fence, and the latter is a respected solo songwriter. Now, they’ve teamed up for a collaborative project called Drinks, with an album coming out this summer.
Beady-eyed White Fence fans might’ve noticed Cate Le Bon playing in Tim Presley’s band last autumn, and now the two have paired up for a collaborative project, DRINKS.
Drinks is the new duo of Cate Le Bon, the whispery Welsh singer-songwriter, and Tim Presley, the idiosyncratic Bay Area psych rocker who records as White Fence.
Cate Le Bon wrote some of my favorite words of 2013 on her album Mug Museum. White Fence is the swirly psych-like music of Tim Presley. Cate and Tim are friends — Cate played guitar on a tour with White Fence — and so now there’s this: DRINKS. DRINKS has an album coming August 21 […]
The humidity peaks in the dark nightclub packed with hundreds of excited, drunk bodies, when New Orleans one-man-band Quintron turns the key on his “Drum Buddy”, lighting it up like a miniature aurora borealis.
Quintron And Miss Pussycat exemplify the best of modern New Orleans rock. An eccentric and arty twist on swamp rock, the group mixes synthesizer sounds with modern science as Quintron messes with instruments of his own creation. His latest analog synth invention features prominently in his band the Weather Warlock, a term that’s apt considering […]
For the second year, his charity, Make the World Better Foundation, will host a benefit concert with a stacked lineup: Mac DeMarco, locals Marian Hill and The Suffers are on the bill.
In support of his new album MCIII, Mikal Cronin is heading out on a tour that includes shows with Father John Misty and Death Cab for Cutie. After his European dates in May and June, he’s booked to travel across North America this fall.
Mac DeMarco will release his new mini-album Another One on August 7th, and on Monday, the indie oddball shared “The Way You’d Love Her,” the first track off that eight-track EP.
Mac DeMarco’s eight-song “mini-LP” Another One is out August 7 via Captured Tracks, and he’s shared a song from the record. It’s called “The Way You’d Love Her”. He’s also announced even more dates to his already lengthy tour.
On August 7, Mac DeMarco will release a project he’s calling the Another One mini-LP, and to tease its release three months ahead of time, the alt-scuzz musician has shared “The Way You’d Love Her.” The new cut is breezy and head-over-heels gushy.
Songs like “Salad Days,” “Let My Baby Stay” and “Cooking Up Something Good” sound timeless live and serve as reminders that for all the cheekiness, DeMarco’s actually extremely talented.
The Strokes returned to the stage last night at Atlanta’s Shaky Knees Festival, with special guest Mac DeMarco briefly joining the band on stage.
Mikal Cronin celebrated the release of his third album, the factually-titled MCIII, at Bowery Ballroom on Tuesday night (5/5), part of his current tour.
Two years ago, Mikal Cronin was the musical guest on “Conan” where he performed a track from MCII. Last night, he did a song from MCIII, which is out this week. Watch him perform “Turn Around” below.
For anyone who lived through Natalie Imbruglia’s success but doesn’t exactly remember what her popular “Torn” video was all about, Kurt Braunohler, Kristen Schaal and Mikal Cronin have got you covered.
Mikal Cronin knows how to write a pop song. Not like a Max Martin pop song, but a pop song that could’ve existed at almost any point in the last 50 or so years of rock history. Parents and children alike can unite in appreciation for how this guy writes a guitar song.
It’s been 182 days between King Gizzard albums – but they’ve sated our appetite with four more curious tracks, each exactly 10 minutes and 10 seconds long.
Mikal Cronin will release his third album, MCIII, on Merge Records. As previously noted, MCIII‘s second side comprises a conceptual, six-song mini-album that represents Cronin’s “coming-of-age story,” and in an interview with Exclaim!, the California songwriter and bandleader shed more light on the troubled time in his life that inspired the ambitious new full-length.
Cronin has always known his way around a melody, but on MCIII, he’s refined it to a needle’s point and woven that skill throughout a collection of immaculately written songs.
