  1. Little Scream Keeps Music Fun I was able to catch Little Scream, aka Laurel Sprengelmeyer immediately after her set at Music Hall of Williamsburg, just before The Antlers went on. She was wearing an outfit that I suspect was made specifically for her, thus no...
  2. Little Scream and The Antlers Awe and Daze at Music Hall of Williamsburg Last night was the first of two sold out shows for Little Scream and The Antlers in New York; this one at Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn. I had caught the very end of Little Scream, aka Laurel Sprengelmeyer’s...
  3. Concert Review: The Airborne Toxic Event Exhilarates the Music Box Up into Hollywood, climbing streets, dodging pedestrians and stopped cars, I went. Only a few hours ago, it feels like years. Paid a stranger to take my car—strange, when you put it like that. I stood in front of The...

I’ll try my best to keep up with them at the Sasquatch! Music Festival this weekend, but I’m starting to realize this band may be pretty hard

  1. The Moondoggies Review: Tidelands With a name like The Moondoggies, you can probably make a pretty accurate prediction of what these guys sound like. They join a long list of Pacific Northwest folk-rock bands with animal-related names and while they make some solid Americana-influenced...
  2. Fresh Tracks for October 12th! Hand-selected by Kelly Montgomery The Moondoggies – It’s a Shame, It’s a Pity Here’s a standout song from the Seattle quartet’s second full-length album, out now on Hardly Art. The song builds up to a climactic stomping beat, complete with what sounds like a...
  3. Watch The Boxer Rebellion in Brooklyn, NY, Friday! After two impressive dates in NYC’s Mercury Lounge in 2011, and selling out the Bowery Ballroom just this week, it is strange to watch people take notice of The Boxer Rebellion‘s brand of international-alternative rock. After an appearance in Drew...

They join a long list of Pacific Northwest folk-rock bands with animal-related names and while they make some solid Americana-influenced music, Tidelands fails to catapult the band into new territory and instead falls back on

  2. The Giving Tree Band Review: The Joke, The Threat, & The Obvious If you are looking for a new, edgy style and hate the sound of a little twang, this album by The Giving Tree Band is definitely not for you. Those who don’t take classic Americana or folk music seriously may...
  3. The Tallest Man On Earth Review: Sometimes the Blues is Just a Passing Bird This five-song EP from The Tallest Man On Earth follows his masterful full-length The Wild Hunt with songs of love, loss, and insecurity. These themes are nothing new to Kristian Matsson, who always seems to be still nursing an old...

  1. Fresh Tracks for September 10th! Hand-selected by Kelly Montgomery S. Carey – In The Dirt A beautifully expansive tune from Bon Iver member Sean Carey’s solo album All We Grow. Layered vocals and wandering piano give this song a peaceful, intimate sound. Catch S. Carey on tour this fall...
  2. Fresh Tracks, hand-selected for you by Kelly Montgomery Arcade Fire – Half Light II (No Celebration) This song is both a highlight of and a perfect introduction to The Suburbs. Disguised by the musically epic sounds (it is Arcade Fire, after all) are lyrics that tell of wasted...
  3. Fresh Tracks for September 28th! Hand-selected by Kelly Montgomery Deerhunter – Revival This jangly rock song from Deerhunter is just a peek at their well-crafted new release, Halcyon Digest, out today on 4AD. Their distorted sound is accompanied by spry guitar, Bradford Cox’s reluctant-rocker crows, and a solid beat,...
