Wolf Parade

ARTIST / BAND: Wolf Parade

SONG (MP3): Call It A Ritual

ALBUM: At Mount Zoomer

FILE UNDER: Indie / Experimental / Other

LABEL: subpop

INFO: Singer/guitarist Dan Boeckner: “After Apologies… we wrote about four or five new songs, but we decided to throw them out because they sounded too much like what we’d already done. We could have easily made another Apologies… but what would have been the point?” Instead, the band committed itself to a period of experimentation, recording long improvisational sessions in the Montreal church owned by The Arcade Fire.

Biography of Ferns

ARTIST / BAND: Biography of Ferns

SONGS (MP3): John The Barber / Build you down

ALBUM: Pastel Gothic

FILE UNDER: Indie / Rock / Punk

LABEL: tellous

INFO: Biography of Ferns was formed in Seattle in 1998, and combines art-school sensibilities (i.e. don't eat paint) with punk rock energy. Larry and Justin hung out in a grody basement in Greenlake and played super heavy stuff through big muff pedals until 2000. We didn't actually play shows till 2000. We had a bunch of flakes rotate drums for 6 months till we were lucky enough to ge the mathematical freak Brett Rudy to take over rhythm and add some backing vocal hijinx. Our 2nd release, the EP 'Memory's Servant' (2003) was produced by Jack Endino and we are featured on the a Kill Rock Stars compilation, 'Tracks and Fields' (2004).

Pete Rock

ARTIST / BAND: Pete Rock

SONG (MP3): 914 (Main)

ALBUM: NSD 23

FILE UNDER: Hip Hop / Soul / Jazz

LABEL: Soul Survivor Records

INFO: He revolutionized rap production through groundbreaking studio wizardry. He made remixes matter more than the original songs. He established ad-libs as a standard recording asset. He introduced dramatic, forceful horns to rap’s sonic discussion. Pete Rock has notched these achievements during his impeccable recording, producing and remixing career, one of the most distinguished in rap history and one that includes collaborations with Nas, Common, Mary J. Blige, Ghostface Killa, Busta Rhymes, Public Enemy and Run-DMC, among many others. Showing that he remains sharp as ever, the Mount Vernon, New York rapper-producer returns with NY’s Finest, his best moment as an artist. “I called it that because I feel like that’s me,” Pete Rock explains.

Eric Avery

ARTIST / BAND: Eric Avery

SONG (MP3): All Remote And No Control

ALBUM: Help Wanted

FILE UNDER: Rock

LABEL: Dangerbird Records

INFO: Avery has kept a fairly low profile since the demise of Jane's Addiction, participating in the Deconstruction project with Dave Navarro immediately after Jane's Addiction's breakup, but declining all invitations for Jane's reunions. The only reason Avery has ever given for his repeated rejections is that he feels the reunions are motivated purely by money. He has also recorded tracks for, toured with and briefly dated Alanis Morissette, as well as creating another side project, Polar Bear in 1994.^[1] Tool's Maynard Keenan invited Eric Avery to replace bassist Paul D'Amour. Eric Avery was once suggested as the replacement bassist for Tool by former Jane's Addiction and then-current Tool manager Ted Gardner. Eric declined the invitation, saying he wanted to concentrate on his band Polar Bear. As seen in the film Some Kind of Monster, Avery also auditioned to become the bassist for Metallica, after the departure of former bassist Jason Newsted.^[1] The job didn't quite fit right for Avery; instead the band went with Ozzy Osbourne bassist Robert Trujillo.^[1] Avery toured with the band Garbage during the promotion of their 2005 Bleed Like Me album.

The Kills

ARTIST / BAND: The Kills

SONG (MP3): Cheap and Cheerful

ALBUM: Midnight Boom

FILE UNDER: Rock / Electronica / Indie

LABEL: Domino

INFO: Jamie Hince and his musical partner Alison Mosshart believe that your art is something you live, rather than something you merely do. Therefore, the conventional approach to recording an album - write some songs a bit like your last songs, book flashy studio and ear candy-providing producer, be professional and get home in time for tea - is not an option for them. The Kills make music that sounds like the stripped-to-the-bone nub of the crux of the sex and death and madness at the heart of the very best rock ‘n’ roll. And the only way to pull that off is to put themselves through the creative, physical, financial and emotional mangle. “It was definitely a journey,” confirms Alison, with the sanguine air of one who believes that anything that doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

Tokyo Police Club

ARTIST / BAND: Tokyo Police Club

SONG (MP3): In A Cave

ALBUM: Elephant Shell

FILE UNDER: Indie / Garage / Pop

LABEL: Saddle Creek

INFO: Elephant Shell lands roughly a year and half after A Lesson In Crime (with last year’s Smith EP and "Your English Is Good" digi-single and a ton of touring also bridging the gap) and barely four years from the band’s 2005 formation. Not bad for four friends who learned to play during senior year in high school, later naming themselves for a nonsensical lyric from the song that would become track one on their first EP, which would in turn sell over 30,000 copies-probably about 29,000 more copies than they expected-and garner accolades from Entertainment Weekly ("We can hardly wait for the full length” A-), Rolling Stone ("If only all young guitar bands were smart enough to rock out this fast, banging out seven first-rate mod-punk party starters in barely more than sixteen minutes"), Interview, Blender, Nylon and The New York Times among others.

Tindersticks

ARTIST / BAND: Tindersticks

SONG (MP3): The Flicker Of A Little Girl

ALBUM: The Hungry Saw

FILE UNDER: Indie

LABEL: Beggars Banquet

INFO: The Hungry Saw arrives April 28 overseas in CD/vinyl/digital formats on Beggars Banquet and marks the first album of new material by the full band since 2003's lush and lovely Waiting for the Moon. A 7"/digital single for the title track, backed with a tune called "Back to the Earth", precedes the album on April 14.
And actually we can't say "full band" without qualifying it a bit, as the reduced Tindersticks lineup featured on Saw includes core members Stuart A. Staples, Neil Fraser, and David Boulter, with additional help from drummer Thomas Belhorn and bassist Dan McKinna. Frontman Staples, as you may recall, released the solo album Leaving Songs back in 2006.

mr. Gnome

ARTIST / BAND: mr. Gnome

SONG (MP3): Night of The Crickets

ALBUM: Deliver This Creature

FILE UNDER: Alternative / Rock / Psychedelic

LABEL: El Marko Records

INFO: The music of mr. Gnome has been described as utilizing elements of AltRock, Metal, Post Punk, and Prog, but lands in a realm of their own making, crafting a compelling sonic-psychedelic melange of indie rock. Since their conception in 2005, the Cleveland duo has released two EPs, receiving wide-ranging and honorable comparisons to Massive Attack, PJ Harvey, Tool, Portishead, Cat Power, Pelican, Death From Above 1979, Bjork and Blonde Redhead. While comparisons vary, one thing is certain - the duo's unique sound explores unpredictable shades of violence and intensity, while meshing the sludgy, reverberating monsoon of hardcore with the feminine. Their debut full-length CD, Deliver This Creature, hits stores May 6, 2008 on El Marko Records.
