Just like Magic Lantern, Sun Araw is heavily influenced by Spaceman 3, Faust and Amon Düül II. This third record Heavy Deeds isn’t exactly suitable for the average indie kid, but if you like [...]

Portugal. The Man is a typical indie band. Sweet melodies: check! Some Arcade Fire-like drama: check! Dreamy vocals: check! Folk influences: check! So why do they call their new record The Satanic Satanists if they’re indie as fuck? Maybe it’s just that they’re from Alaska? Also a very good reason of course, to name their [...]

Lord Cut-Glass is the new vessel of Alun Woodward, formerly singer of Scottish band The Delgados. His first solo album is released this week on Chemikal Underground.

The new Dinosaur Jr. has leaked and, of course, we couldn’t help ourselves but listening to this fine record. Barlow, Mascis and Murph, largely responsible for returning lead guitar to indie rock and, along with their peers the Pixies, injecting late-’80s alternative rock with monumental levels of pure guitar noise, have delivered an album full [...]

This week’s indie favourites at the ZXZW office: As long as we’re waiting for that new My Bloody Valentine record, we’ll keep ourselves busy listening to the new Japandroids album. It’s called Post-Nothing, which is of course an über-cool name. Japandroids is a two piece band from Vancouver, BC. Like you guessed, it’s shoegaze, it’s [...]
