  • Wavves – King Of The Beach

    Wavves – King Of The Beach

    So Wavves’ Nathan Williams is pretty famous in the indie world for splitting opinions (noisy shit or finger on the pulse genius?) and for having a drug n booze induced on stage breakdown of sorts during his set at Primavera festival in 2009. While we enjoyed snippets (‘So Bored’) of his 2009 self-titled debut we were hardly bowled over by the whole tin can tape hiss affair. On his new album for Bella Union however, the self proclaimed ‘King Of The Beach’ seems to have upped his game considerably.

  • Dominant Legs – Clawing Out The Walls

    Dominant Legs – Clawing Out The Walls

    Dominant Legs is the new band of ex-Girls guitarist Ryan Lynch and fellow San-Franciscan Hannah Hunt. Lynch steps up to the mic with a voice that’s been kept to himself for too long and the music combines the sun kissed guitar tones that serve Girls so well with some nice keys presumably courtesy of Hunt and a generally light vibe. Summer in a song.

    For Fans Of: Girls, Kisses, Belle & Sebastian. // more
