Kevin Bronson says, ‘Could the long wait finally be over? I hear that L.A. art-rock trio Autolux is close to signing a deal and that the album “Transit Transit” will be released this summer. It would be the first album from Eugene Goreshter, Carla Azar and Greg Edwards since “Future Perfect” in 2004.’ I know we here at NRBW all hope so!

So Communion, if you live outside London or Brighton, is a monthly clubnight in both cities. Yeah, we know it originated in London, but I’ve never been to the London incarnation – I have been to the Brighton one twice and I know that it’s the best clubnight EVER. Don’t chalk that up to be NOT being a club person – or do, because I hate clubs yet I show up to this one. They consistently big up the best new acts in music, including King Charles and Lyrebirds recently…. And now they’re putting out a compilation featuring some of the better UK acts of the past couple of years…. I would recommend checking this shit out if you have no idea of the Communion scene…
Featuring: Johnny Flynn, Jay Jay Pistolet, Marcus Foster, Stokes William, Pete Roe, Broadcast 2000, Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Jeremy Warmsley, Brendan Campbell, Alessi’s Ark, Mumfor & Sons, Matthew and the Atlas, Alan Pownall, Elena Tonra, Beans on Toast, Kurran and the Wolfnotes, Peggy Sue, Andrew Davie, and more…

What do you do when you’re 22 and bored in Nashville, TN? (Ed. note: I can’t confirm or deny Caitlin Rose’s boredom, but its Tennessee for godsakes!) According to Caitlin Rose you sit down and write an EP filled with hilarious, tongue-in-cheek, simple (in the kind way) songs that shine a pretty big spotlight on your fucking amazing voice, apparently. Or that’s what this girl decided to do anyway. I urge you not to be afraid of her label as country music because these songs are really great, I mean the girl’s EP is called ‘Dead Flowers’. Yep, the Rolling Stones song (and accompanying AMAZING cover) is the name of her first EP. That alone takes balls. But this girl has so much quirk and charm and sings these awesome songs in a sweet-as-hell-voice about drinkin’ and smokin’ and shotgun weddings being real love. God damn! I think I am in love.

Adorable Sheffield duo SLOW CLUB are finally getting a US release for their debut album, ‘Yeah, So’ through Moshi Moshi Records on the 30th of March. Their album, which has already been released in the UK for ages, will now include a second disk of bonus material like B-Sides and live recordings. The band have a US tour in the works including another stop at SXSW (the band stormed the place last year with friends Jay Jay Pistolet, Mumford & Sons, Laura Marling and Beans on Toast). More on the tour later but for now, check out their video for “It Doesn’t Have To Be Beautiful” below…

The cool kids over at Play Pinball! Records have unleashed a new compilation that features a bunch of new bands from Denton, TX.

The Stevenson Ranch Davidians are celebrating the release of their new album Life and Death next Thursday at Spaceland. Also playing are one of my favorite bands The Quarter After and the lovely Miranda Lee Richards.
Please come out as it’s sure to be a great show. I have a copy of Life and Death and it’s beautiful. It’s exactly the kind of sunny, jangly music we need to get us through this horrible time of year we call winter.

Whatever I say next, just know that it’s 100% begrudging. I’m coming around to Bradford Cox. I’m really getting into his Atlas Sound album ‘Logos’. Hence the next post. Bradford’s posted an old CD-R he did with Deerhunter that’s apparently very experimental and lo-fi in nature so there’s that. Atlas Sound has two dates coming up in February – more surely to come – in New York and San Francisco. And finally, via Pitchfork, his top 10 albums of the year. I really like his writing style – there’s something totally communal and awesome and genuine about this guy. /hate myself.

Top 10 albums of 2009
1. Privacy: Songs
I was given a test pressing of what I think is one of the most beautiful and haunted records I’ve ever heard. Only one person, Laurel Knapp, delivering fragmented songs with only a nylon guitar and her voice. I actually wore out the test pressing. It sounds very “alone” and evokes dust, crystal radios, and gin. My favorite thing I have heard all year.
2. Kurt Vile: Childish Prodigy
I just got this and don’t know what to say. It is mind-blowing and reminds me of why I started playing music in the first place.
3. Ducktails: Landscapes
Afternoon music I can really get into. Half of it reminds me of this bootleg of Slowdive demos I bought somewhere, but better. The other half reminds me of Casino Versus Japan 4-track demos. I don’t mean to compare him [Matthew Mondanile] to other artists, but I hold Casino Versus Japan sacred, and it’s very rare someone captures that vibe.
4. Animal Collective: Fall Be Kind EP
I’m sure MPP is the most common no. 1 on everyone’s list, but I’ll be damned if this EP is not even more refined. Dave [Porter] sent it to me during my battle with pneumonia, and it honestly seemed to have a healing effect. It mixes with medicine well. I’d describe it like having a close friend who has been as sick as you currently are and is telling you, “You will get better.” It does sound darker, but it also is somehow uplifting. Only real vessels of energy can manage to do that with music. I’m just being honest.
5. Broadcast and the Focus Group: Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age
I honestly did not get this at first. It seemed tossed off. Then I toured with them. I still didn’t get it. It seemed like chaos had taken over and killed a pop band. Then halfway through the tour, it suddenly and without explanation made total sense to me. They are doing something new and fucked up. It’s not always easy to digest. It has nothing to do with now. It is ritual music. They made something that genuinely challenged me as a listener, and it’s been a long time since that’s happened. I love them for it.
6. White Rainbow: New Clouds
Everything Adam [Forkner] does I adore. If I could have one person around all the time, it would be him. This record continues his run of great ambient records with his personality embedded in them.
7. Big Star: Keep an Eye on the Sky
Bought this for [Deerhunter guitarist] Lockett [Pundt] on his birthday because he’d been listening to their LPs a lot lately. I had never really “gotten” Big Star. I borrowed it one day and got sorted out.
8. St. Vincent: Actor
I am awe-struck by Annie [Clark] and her raw talent and consistency. She makes me want to try harder and practice more.
9. Neil Young: The Archives Vol. 1: 1963-1972
Very neat.

He’s also announced a date at the Bowery Ballroom (one of my FAV NYC venues…) on the 21st of January 2010. You can purchase tickets here.

Avi Buffalo – fresh off the announcement of their recent signing to Sub Pop Records and the release of their debut 7 inch single – will be heading to New York City for the first time EVER in January to support Final Fantasy at The Bowery Ballroom Jan 18th, 2010! The band will also headline their own show at Union Pool in Williamsburg on Jan 19th, 2010.
The band’s first 7 Inch single “What’s In It For?” b/w “Jessica” will be available next Tuesday Dec. 8th at select retailers in the U.S. & U.K. The limited edition release comes on red marbled vinyl. You can pre-order the 7 inch now at SubPop.com.
Avi Buffalo have been hard at work in the studio finishing new songs for their debut album with producer Aaron Embry (who has played with folks like Elliott Smith, Daniel Lanois, Emmylou Harris, Beth Orton, and a whole slew of others) which will be released by Sub Pop in the Spring of 2010.
The band are also confirmed to perform at this year’s SXSW festival which will take place in Austin, Texas March 17th-21st, 2010.
woohooo party with Avi Buffalo! Looking forward to SXSW
badass. i like it.
Lightspeed Champions sophomore album is entitled Life Is Sweet! Nice To Meet You. He’s an oddball. Check it out for yourselves on the 1st of February 2010.
I saw this little blurb on Pitchfork and I just wanted to use it to highlight their bullshititude and some funny parts. I think they might be mixing up the Strange Boys (garage, r&b) with King Khan & The Shrines (garage, r&b & sax)
In the U.S., Austin (they’re from Dallas bitches!) garage-rock upstarts the Strange Boys are signed to In the Red, a label that’s made something of a habit of signing garage-rock upstarts. Now, the sax-addled band has a new home in the rest of the world, as they’ve just signed internationally to Rough Trade. Next year, they’ll release sophomore album Be Brave on February 23 in the U.S. and February 22 in the UK. On January 25 in the UK and the next day in the U.S., they’ll release the title track as a 7″ single.
But, as a small comment, WOW! Excellent news. They’ve been dormant since their European tour in August and it’s wonderfully magical to see them coming up with a 2nd album so quick, but they’re always writing. Here’s to hoping they’ll do an early 2010 UK/EU Tour, then a huge US tour culminating in Psych Fest and then SXSW 2010. Oh yes!
Yeah! That’s right! Adam Green, NRBW favorite and friend of ours, is announcing his 6th album. His previous album ‘Sixes & Sevens’ was one of my favorite records of 2008, so you know this one’s going to be good. It’s called ‘Minor Love’ and is due to be released on the 8th of January 2010. He’s also lined up a tour to support, which obviously only is going to take him through the UK and Europe because he ignores the US like nobodies business, but since I get to see him here in Brighton, I’ll forgive him this once. See all his tour dates below:

The San Diego band called the Muslims were a great band at one point. They released a LP, including a vinyl 12″ with real bullet holes (it’s true! I own one!) and it was amazing. Then, they moved to LA and decided to call themselves the Soft Pack, and the former LP they released became a “digital EP”. So now, this band called the Soft Pack have announced their debut album, but it’s really their 2nd album, and it’s “self titled”. So their discography reads like this:
The Muslims – The Muslims LP
The Soft Pack – The Soft Pack LP
This sophomoric debut will be released on the 1st of February 2010. The record was recorded earlier this year with Eli Janney in New York.
Guitarist Matty McLoughlin told NME.com: “Eli was a perfect producer choice, he comes from that DC punk background, but he’s also being in a band who were pretty poppy, they were sort of like a next Nirvana kind of thing in the ’90s.
He understood both ends of the spectrum. We do write pop songs but we come from more of a punk background and he made sure we didn’t sound cheesy or lame. We just wanted a better fidelity, like Iggy Pop on ‘New Values’.”
The tracklisting reads:
‘C’mon’
‘Down On Lovin”
‘Answer To Yourself’
‘Move Along’
‘Pull Out’
‘More Or Less’
‘Tides Of Time’
‘Flammable’
‘Mexico’
‘Parasites’ (This song has been around for a LOOONG time. I have the first Parasites/Walk With Jesus 7″. I am elitist.)
