<div style="line-height: 1.5em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">When I first heard <em>Nevermind</em> playing in my cousin’s room it was like I was punched in the face. In a good way. I instantly knew there was a world out there that was as irrevocably fucked up as I was feeling on most days. It was 1997, I was 13 and a raging malcontent without an outlet. That was till I, and an entire generation, stumbled onto <em>Nevermind</em>. After which everything changed. And the rest of the 90s was left sucking its glistening cock.</span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 1.5em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">My cousin loaned me the cassette and I drowned out the world with it, rewinding, fast-forwarding, my walkman guzzling batteries like a pisser in bar. Cobain became my unwilling, dirt-kicking Messiah. This was a sound like nothing I’d ever heard before. Remember those were pre-internet, pre-youtube days (and thank god for it), and music was hard to come by. From the killer opening riffs and cocky lyrics of ‘Smells like Teen Spirit’, the smoked-out snarls of ‘In Bloom’, the brotherhood of ‘Come as You Are’, the anger of ‘Territorial Pissings’, to the pulsating drums of ‘Stay Away’, the album doused mainstream in kerosene and set it on fire. Making a mockery of popular music by staying on the Billboard charts No. 1 for a long while at the same time. The album broke all notions of music at it was perceived. Suddenly Metallica and GnR sounded like a fog of grannies knitting scarves. It was historic. It made a god out of Cobain and monsters of his fans. But 20 years since the release of <em>Nevermind</em> and I’m surprised at how the music still has its resigned, pessimistic and provocative edge and doesn’t sound outdated like so many of the two-bit bands that come and go without a trace nowadays. This is a testimony to its staggering genius for great art perpetuates, stimulates, and endures.</span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 1.5em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">It’s difficult to explain what the album did to my young mind without slipping into cliché. The album shaped me to an extent where I think my dormant alcoholism and my incapability to have lasting relationships have root in the very spools of its reel. That aside, <em>Nevermind</em> gave me courage to be disenchanted, gawky, ragged, to diss god and my folks. It also turned me into a hater of all things moral, silly girls, pretty boys, newspapers. It gave ugliness its much-needed beauty. But most importantly it gave me, and again, an entire generation, the power of music and the feeling of invincibility that comes along with it. The world could not break our thin bones. </span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 1.5em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">In the 14 years since <em>Nevermind</em>, I found out that pot makes me see yellow spots and helps me to write. I fell in love and got my heart promptly broken. I graduated. Came to Delhi and ran away to the hills where I finished my money, set a hotel room on fire, slept on a boat in the middle of the lake, drenched in puke. Came back with a toothbrush and five bucks, just enough to call for help. I fell in love again but with lesser intensity, and fell out of it. I dropped acid and danced for three days straight. I ran away to Goa, chopped tomatoes in a restaurant, dyed my hair pink, fell in love with my first love and fell out of it just as quickly. I graduated from college, bummed around. Got a job that made me hate my days. Quit. Got another job. Quit. Got another job. Sometimes I think about my waywardness and wonder how much of it has to do with my adoloscent punk and grunge awakening. How much of it has to do with <em>Nevermind</em>?</span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">When i first heard that Stephen Malkmus was back with a new album, I was fucking curious, being a huge fan. And it's lived up to every twisted musical expectation I had. <i>Mirror Traffic</i> is a cheeky laidback rock and roll Sunday afternoon. At times up-tempo with its soaring guitar solos and catchy pop synth feel, at others a lo-fi gem with a lick of clear-as-water acoustic picking, it's just the sort of album I can turn up till the eardrums cry blue murder and drown myself in to put the shit that goes on outside on mute. Personal favourites include 'Brain Gallop', the bluesy 'All Over Gently', 'Senator', 'Forever 28'. One thing I know, this album will be rocking on my playlist for a long time. </span><br />

</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">i'm drawn to the South. it started with dixie jazz and a few books; Amstrong, Harper Lee, Cole Porter, <i>Gone with the Wind</i>, Gershwin, and <i>The Mississippi Rag.</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> but i've deviated since then, not too far though, into marshland and rootsy folk blues. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">the South still pulls me. but now purely for its swampy gospel-laced blues for inspired barflies and wide spaced bluegrass. music with laid back, quiet, and languid vocals. Ramsay Midwood is everything South. his surroundings are clearly evident in his music; </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3f302d; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 21px;">he was </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3f302d; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 21px;">raised in Arlington, Virginia, the son of a tuba-playing father and a mother interested in folk and roots music. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">there's so much i love about this little heard of Texan. his sound is a drunk lazy country romp, perfect to go with a thirsty summer evening and a big waiting sky. the South comes alive </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">in his vocals </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">like a smoked-out bastard murderer, staggering into a diner in the purple small hours.</span><br />

another big voice and great southern feel with that Hammond organ to put me in the mood. Kalen Bush leads Ponderosa's new album <i>Moonlight Revival</i> with some ass shaking big riffs. there's nothing new about them, just plain ol rock and some good times. look out for the big guitars in 'Devil On My Shoulder'.<br />

another gem. Mount Moriah has debuted with their album of the same name. (Mount Moriah take their name from the mountain range in the Book of Genesis; there's something of that old dirge feel to some of their songs. very apt i'd say.) This two piece band, Heather McEntire and Jenks Miller, are rooted in Southern gospel folk tunes rich in organ and pensive guitar riffs. Heather's clear as water voice captures both the melancholy and optimism of the band's songs uncannily. <br />
<br />
songs to look out for are the gorgeous 'Lament' and 'Only Way Out'<br />
<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><i>History from Below </i>Delta Spirit's 2010 sophomore album is a dramatic vintagey collection of songs. americana done to perfection, this super Cali band seems to be only getting better. the eleven tracks are well crafted, reflective and have an underlying sense of the spiritual. </span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">songs to look out for are the opener '9/11', a cheeky political number, which is followed by a rush of electrics in 'Bushwick Blues'. 'White Table' is hymn-like with its percussion, while big drums keep its tempo. the airy open guitars of 'Ransom Man' had <i>TIS </i>hooked for weeks.<i> </i>and last but not the least, the howling electric ballad 'St. Francis' with its rambling harmonica and Matt Vasquez's boozy vocals is a near religious experience. </span><br />

to start the year with a debut. Laura Burhenn's dusty and beautiful vocals have <i>TIS</i> captivated. <i>What we lose in the fire we gain in the flood </i>is a soulful, brooding country and soul album perfect to go with a teasing glass of whiskey. there's the feel of a great piano banging away to a church choir mixed with a pop song from the nineties and you cant help but replay till it sings itself hoarse in your head.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>songs to listen to are 'Let the record go', the expansive 'Numbers don't lie' with its echoing organ, and the lovely 'We made a mountain'.</div><div><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">it's out. the much-awaited honest-to-god <em>Tidelands </em>by The Moondoggies. and <em>that indie sound</em>'s is giving it a ten (out of ten). they've shed their country infuences of the previous album <em>Dont be a Stranger </em>and have put out a better set of tunes. listen to their music not the critics for this muchly underrated band is coming into their own force. their easy americana harmonies fall into one another seamlessly and make for a great uninterrupted listen.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><em>that indie sound</em> loves the stupendous acoustic tunes of 'It's a Shame, It's a Pity', 'Empress of the North', 'A Lot of People on My Mind' and 'Cant be in the Middle.' </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">trust me on one thing: this is a band that's only going to get bigger with their music. </span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">on a serious note, go, people, go, listen to this new-age bluesy bob dylan. he's the best alt-folk we have right now. multi-intrumentalist Kristian Matsson from Sewden has two fantastic albums - <em>Shallow Grave</em> and <em>The Wild Hunt</em> - under his tall hat, and another much-awaited - <em>Sometimes the Blues is Just a Passing Bird.</em></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><em>The Wild Hunt </em>is<em> </em>a lovely treasure that makes you realise why you fell in love with music in the first place - lucid fingerpicking, to the beauty of the acoustic guitar; it's all there, washing your transgressions clean and just waiting to take you back in.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">'there's no god, just rock n' roll.' rightly said by pater a long time ago. if you feel even remotely touched by the sentiment then this short post will rock thy boat. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">all those who've come to my place will have seen my shrine to elvis. yeah, yeah it runs in the family. so much so that pater had named our dog, King (god rest his soul), after the southern rock n' roller. King the german shepherd hadn't been south of the Mississippi and had big shiny shoes to fill. but fill them he did brilliantly - bit our driver four times. once in the rear. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">i digress. point is that, the sun's out, the skies blue, the chilled beer flowing and <em>that indie sound </em>was feeling like a bit of rock n roll. so it dug up Kim Lenz and the Jaguars's 2009 album <em>It's All Right.</em></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">if you hadn't heard of them before here's what the <em>Rolling Stone</em> said about them: </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">'If Elvis had been a woman, he probably would have sounded just like Kim Lenz.'</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">you get the idea. this LA-based, red-haired songstress is on fire in this album. her sassy growls are stronger and the songs, super energetic. songs such as 'Ramblin' Feeling', 'Touch Me', 'Zombie for Your Love', 'Shined Up and Ready to Shout' make you want to get up and dance or maybe just have another drink. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">keep that rock n roll alive. </span><br />

<br />
but essentially this space features bands that are more <em>that indie sound'</em>s style, mainly americana and alt-folk. but <em>that indie sound</em> is always open to suggestions and different genres. and <i>tis</i><em> </em>doesn't diss bands that it doesn't dig (although on an after thought, way too experimental rock, Kings of Leon, The xxs, and Animal Collective are just boring).<br />
<br />
so there it is.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">this evening i thought i caught a wiff of the onset of winter in the air. and i came home to play Horse Feathers. this one's for that space just between autumn and winter. it's apt because this elegant indie folk band is fantastic at doing just that - creating beautiful spaces in their songs for listeners to breathe and take it all in before they go on to the next verse. no, it's not music for the dying. <em>that indie sound</em> would never do that to you. point is that you've got to take time out to listen to Horse Feathers. but listen you must.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Horse Feathers is led by songwriter/guitarist/vocalist Justin Ringle and supported by multi-instrumentalists Nathan Crocket, Catherine Odell, and Sam Cooper. and each one is f****** talented. that indie sound strongly suggests getting both their albums <em>Words are Dead</em> (2006), and their latest <em>Thistled Spring </em>(2010).</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><em>that indie sound</em>'s good friend - an electro-trash, acid jazz junkie (god save his soul) - was holding on to <em>Thistled Spring</em> to pass it on to me. the sealed cd and the eloquent words (thistled spring) were slowly eating him up alive. then one day he ripped it open and put it on. i gave him the raised eyebrow when i finally picked it up from him and saw the plastic gone. he turned back to his computer but not before muttering, 'breathless'. enough said.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">songs to look out for 'Starving Robins', 'Thistled Spring', 'Cascades', 'Cur in the Weeds', 'Belly of June', 'As a Ghost', 'Hardwood Pews', oh just go and listen to them all.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><em>that indie sound</em> had given their first album <em>Talking Through Tin Cans</em> the good nod. and they still have <em>that indie sound</em> nodding with their new album <em>Big Echo.</em></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">there's brilliance in this album. a pop record where every song is laid out beautifully with sonic brilliance. this will be on top of everybody's list this year (maybe after the black keys). the tiny, hidden melodies is what got <em>that indie sound.</em> there are very few numbers that have that genius. for example <em>that indie sound</em> had the Big Echo playing on for a week. end of week, it discovers two layered harmonies in 'Excuses'. dont you love these tiny surprises?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Bird has the ability to combine antiquated sounds and adapt them to a new feel. yes, he does have a bachelor's in violin, and can play the guitar (duh), mandolin, loop pedal, glockenspiel (the xylophone family). he can be jazz, rock, folk, blues, a ballad and anything else he wants to be, where ever he wants to be. but <em>tis </em>loves the fact that he's low-key and a bit nutty, and has a friggin smashing sense of humour. don't we love musicians who can still laugh. now he has one album too many and <em>tis</em> would go a bit mad trying to pick one to write about. so a list of songs instead to fire up that imagination, me lovelies (done with a four-beer-down scot accent)? </span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">apologies for being lazy. lots of new music coming in from good friends all around. and <em>that indie sound</em> has been doing <em>the listening</em>. among the piles of music was Blitzen Trapper's new album <em>Destroyer of the Void</em>. <em>that indie sound</em> still has a throbbing toe after stubbing it while jumping around, album clutched tightly to self, on discovery of it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">most of us in the indie world think no end of Blitzen Trapper. however, after a first listen <em>that indie sounds</em> feels that their new album is a bit shy of that big big applause we had given <em>Furr</em> - the fourth album from this Portland sextet. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><em>Furr</em> was all things good in life. their earnest-to-god, poetic, late-nineties americana style sets them apart from all other bands. they write music beautifully, understand harmony better than most, and have their feet are firmly planted on green terra firma. <em>Furr</em> is an intimate, poignant, no-fuss album - an album you know you'll go back to years later. it's for keeps. fyi: for this album, Earley wrote and recorded many of the songs on an old piano (a new element for the band) missing a few of its teeth, which mysteriously 'appeared in the hallway' of where they were recording. Their label says, 'The beast has gone away to the landfill now, but you can still hear the clacking and clattering of its rickety skeleton in songs like "Not Your Lover" and "Echo".'</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">song picks would include 'Furr', a song for a yellow summer's day. 'Black River Killer' - a dusty, outlaw song about murder is <em>that indie sound</em>'s favourite. 'Love U' with its big electric guitars and strong vocals takes me off my feet. Then, there are 'Lady on the Water' and 'Not your Lover' - both lyrical, folksy numbers. and with its opener being called 'Sleepy time in the Western World', why wouldn't you want to give it <em>the</em> listen?</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">i cannot begin to describe how much i love this band. mostly because Karen O's genius vocals take a bit of me with every listen. they rock the NY way - in that noisy, smokey, garage pub rock way and suddenly do the turn and slip into the acoustic with supreme ease. they can put me out of any misery i may have. they make me tell the world to fuck off. this Brooklyn art-rock trio isn't trying to please anyone. they do their thing just they way like it. so get your leather on or fuck off (it's the music doing the talking now).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">the <em>Yeah Yeah Yeah's</em> 2006 album <em>Show Me Your Bones </em>was a gargantous album with tracks such as 'Cheated Hearts' and 'Gold Lion' making it to the top of many charts. they broke all bounds with that one. their new album - <em>It's Blitz - </em>has a brand spanking new sound<em> - </em>a daring reinvention with disco beats that resonate from Brooklyn streets, a synth-pop touch, and a cleaner, maturer style, but with the only constant - Karen Os clear-as-water 'Budweiser-banshee wail'.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">'Heads will Roll' is as exlposive as its title - a slick disco-rock call to the dancefloor. ear open for the barely-audibly, but sexy as hell, 'uh-oh's' in 'Soft Shock'. 'Skeleton' is breathtaking. for YYY lovers there's a pop rendition of their previous beautiful acoustic number 'Hysteric'. then Karen's O's crying vocals in 'Zero' enunciates the band's underlying ethic - that they'll play their music the way they want to and the critics can, well...fuck off.</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">folk-rock again. can’t help it. AA Bondy’s sophomore album (2009) - <em>When the Devil's Loose</em> – has got me hooked to its roomy languid music and haunting lyrics.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Scot Bondy’s got a lot of flak for dramatically moving on from much-loved <em>Verbena</em> – his earlier indie-rock band – to his acoustic guitar and harmonica. so it came as a surprise when his debut album <i>American Hearts</i>, a one-man show, got the number of listeners it did. for <i>When the Devil's Loose</i>, Bondy’s put together a band and the results have been stellar.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">his lyrics are poetry and the intricate detailing of music (echoing mics that complement the song ‘When the Devil’s Loose) is genius. the opener ‘Mightiest of Guns’ is a favourite with its Dylan-like lyrics and feel. that indie sound picks ‘I Can See the Pines are Dancing’ as the winner; weary yet soul-lifting, its lucid and earthy lyrics remind me of Neruda’s poetry. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I Can See the Pines are Dancing</span></strong><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">this is a hymn</span><br />

this is the leaving of another love</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">this is the glory</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">this is the pounding of a midnight heart</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">this is the mountains</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">this is the lightning</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">this is the man pulling on his iron chains</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">this is the light that shines </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">and I can see the pines are dancing</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">this is the leaving of another love</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">this is the howling at the moon</span><br />
