Saturday Morning Videos
  Tortoise - "Prepare Your Coffin"; Looking at the cover of the new Tortoise album Beacons of Ancestorship and then watching this video makes complete linear sense. On the album cover you have a series of lines that create shapes and in this video we are given a character who races around capturing photos of the shapes of our world. Perfect symmetry right there, and neatly...

Crocodiles : Summer Of Hate
San Diego’s Crocodiles are about to release their debut album, Summer Of Hate on Fat Possum, and are out on a pretty extensive U.S. tour right now to promote it. The band draws comparisons to Jesus and Mary Chain, Velvet Underground, Spacemen 3 and contemporaries like Dum Dum Girls, Crystal Stilts and Wavves. We’ve pretty much had the album on repeat today. A lot of this...

It’s built on unending tom pushes and a treble-heavy shower of vintage amp gust, which is to say that it sounds about thirty years older than it is and we are not complaining...
Crystal Stilts Daytrotter Session + New Eardrums Compilation
Brooklyn’s Crystal Stilts recently recorded a session over at Daytrotter, which along with a few tracks from last year’s debut Alight of Night, also featured two new tracks from the band. Both “Through the Floor” and “Sycamore Tree” are delightful to listen to, that is, if you find a poppier version of Joy Division enjoyable. The latter is even described as...
Crystal Stilts : Alight Of Night
The wet dream of a moody 80s teenager, New York’s Crystal Stilts have their debut album ‘Alight Of Night’ given a UK release by Angular Recordings. Haphazard 6Ts girl group influenced garage rock meets nonchalant, sombre vocals, resulting in an amalgamation of Jesus & The Mary Chain, Velvet Underground, The Cure and Joy Division. Detached introspection rules, with vocals...
