Is this a weekday? Oh, wait… It’s Indie Thursday!
October 1, 2009
To be honest with, we’ve kinda been slacking Indie Thursday on this blog the last weeks. That’s what you get with running a festival that was, not really by coincidence, filled with a lot of great indie bands. There have also been a lot of other great bands that attracted our attention. Here are some [...]

Sub Pop founder Jonathan Poneman started the new record label Hardly Art now two years ago. Since then he’s been putting out some great records. Our favorite is Don’t Be A Stranger by Seattle band The Moondoggies. Le Loup is doing a great job on their second LP Family and is topping The Moondoggies with [...]
No Indie Thursday today!
September 3, 2009
What?! No Indie Thursday? What happened?! Nothing really special, we just felt like playing some psychedelic and krautrock music instead. We started with the amazing record Hard For Justice by Incubate-artist Bronnt Industries Kapital. It’s just one Guy (yes, that is his name!) from Bristol who made the perfect modern electronic krautrock record earlier this [...]

Is it just us, or are there more good records by female singers this year? Soap&Skin, Fever Ray, Micachu & The Shapes, jj, Laleh, St. Vincent, Bat For Lashes, just to name few.

Today we’ve got some rather new bands for you. First up is a guy called Timber Timbre, who sounds like a more serious version of Devendra Banhart.

Today we’ve got some big names in indie music for you! How about My Morning Jacket’s singer Jim James, who calls himself Yim Yames on his new record? He provides us with beautiful stripped down versions of George Harrison songs on the EP Tribute To. This is how we like Yim Yames the best. Sober, [...]

Today we’re listening to new stuff from the great band Caspian, that will perform on Incubate at september 20th. Caspian are one of todays best post-rock bands. Mainly because they break away from some of the cliches post-rock is about nowadays. Still they’ve got these amazing atmospheric tracks that slowly take you and get heavier [...]

One of the most amazing bands coming from New York is the collective called Zs. Since 2000 they’re making avant-garde records with both no wave, free jazz , noiserock and krautrock influences. Their sound might be somewhere between James Chance, Zu, Terry Riley and Can. The band is both known for their chamber music and [...]
