    Maria Linden of I Break Horses on My Bloody Valentine and why fans are more like soulmates

    I Break Horses (due tonight with M83 at the Ogden Theatre) started out as the bedroom project of Maria Lindén. Chances are, if she hadn't been in contact with Simon Raymonde of Cocteau Twins and Bella Union fame (the label that also released a few albums by the Czars from Denver), we never would ha ...

    Neon Indian: "Around the time I start to write a record, I stop listening to new music altogether."

    Neon Indian (due tonight at the Bluebird Theater) got a boost early in its career by online media, and by the time of the act's first album, Psychic Chasms was released, there was a pretty big buzz around his blend of synth-driven, R&B inflected pop songs.

    Yuki Chikudate of Asobi Seksu on Otis Redding, Okinawa and working with Vaughan Oliver

    ​Asobi Seksu (due tonight at the hi-dive with Grimes, Le Divorce) made a bit of a name for itself in its early days by blending together solid pop hooks with strong rhythmic dynamics and a guitar sound that recalled early Lush and the more melodic end of My Bloody Valentine. Naturally, this re ... More >>

    Giving belated props to Black Tambourine, who paved the way for the Girls -- Vivian and Dum Dum, respectively

    ​ With shit like the Vivian Girls and Dum Dum Girls blowing up lately, I've been trying to trace the all-to-familiar sound back to at least a semblance of its roots. While I could name off a hundred bands I thought these bands sounded like, I couldn't quite nail it. A couple weeks ago, Slumbe ... More >>
