Ezra Furman will be releasing his sixth album on Bella Union this summer. His last album Day of the Dog was the crystallisation of four cult albums and a lot of touring to half empty rooms, but after extensive coverage on BBC6, people have started to take note.
Wilco announced the lineup for their Solid Sound Festival today, and this year, they’ll be joined by SPIN’s 2014 Band of the Year Parquet Courts, Real Estate, and Mac DeMarco.
Ezra Furman has announced his signing to London’s Bella Union, with plans to release his label debut later this summer. As a first listen to the Day of the Dog follow-up, he’s served up lead single “Restless Year”. Much like Furman himself, the track is a ball of energy, bouncing around genre borders with glee.
Restless Year is easily one of the catchiest songs I have heard this year, and is guaranteed to be stuck in your head after having a listen.
The almighty rock’n’roll madman, Ezra Furman, and his band, The Boyfriends, tease us with bustling new single Restless Year, along with the exciting announcement of his signing to Bella Union (joining the likes of The Flaming Lips, The Walkman and Father John Misty) and forthcoming album.
Furman, who The Guardian has called “a punk-fired rock’n’roll classicist,” has just announced news of his biggest London headline show to date, at Shepherd’s Bush Empire on the 22nd October.

Quintron and Miss Pussycat are downtown idols, but they are certainly not idle. The duo just announced a series of spring tour dates as well as the now expected eccentric mix of new projects.

With his sunny voice and slightly off-kilter guitaring, gap-toothed Canadian indie-rocker Mac DeMarco might leave you jonesing for summer. So to tide you over ’til warmer times, here he is performing an acoustic version of “Salad Days” at last year’s Pickathon.
Ty Segall has announced plans for a short solo acoustic tour, following a set at Burgerama fest in Santa Ana.
Mikal Cronin? More like Magical Cronin, because this avid Ty Segall collaborator produces nothing but sounds of magic. CDs, LPs, and cassettes of MCIII will be released on May 5 from Merge Records.
At Laneway Festival in Sydney, Faster Louder challenged Mac DeMarco and his mum – festival MC Agnes – to a “Mac Off” to find out which one of them knew more Mac facts than the other.
With a wonderfully goofy grin planted on his face, Mac DeMarco gives the impression of an oversized, hyperactive prodigy child. The band’s performance is incredibly tight, despite the shambolic impression they create between spurts of philosophical platitudes and offshoots into classic covers.
Did you hear MCII, the 2013 album from Mikal Cronin? Well, it ruled. And if this new song, “Made Up My Mind,” and the commendably straightforward album title,MCIII, are any indication, his next one will rule too.
His debut 2011 album was called Mikal Cronin. His excellent follow-up: MCII. He’s back, and naturally, the new one’s called MCIII. It’s out on May 5 via Merge, and it features the track, “Made My Mind Up”.

It’s been almost five whole months since he put out a record, but he’s back with the Mr. Face EP, out this week on Famous Class. Mr. Face is a double 7″ EP pressed on translucent red and blue-colored vinyl, and you can apparently use the records as a pair of 3D glasses.
Mac DeMarco has just announced a brand new world tour which includes a run in Australia for Laneway Festival, his slots at Coachella, a performance during Austin Psych Fest, and his newly announced Bonnaroo gig.
For being a relatively new giant in the indie and psychedelic rock genres, Mac DeMarco is quite possibly the most insane musician on the market.
Mac DeMarco has been added to the line-up for Field Day in June.
Mac DeMarco will head out on a world tour that will cover Asia, Australia, North American and Europe and make stops at Coachella and Bonnaroo. It starts today in Tokyo.
For all the talk of Ty Segall being prolific, as true as it is, many have forgotten another quality of Segall’s: his consistency. The garage laureate has delivered outstanding record after outstanding record, and he’s even improved on the way. The 27 year-old has made great strides not only as a songwriter, but as a […]
