  • Stream: Wot Gorilla? – …And then there were three… / Skiddaw

    Tuesday is the February of the week. This is not up for debate. Wot Gorilla? are wonderful dealers of Math Rock. This is not for debate either. Just fresh off the oven, ‘…and then there were three…’ is a gentle reminder of the industrial strength of Wot Gorilla?’s intricate web of riffs, drumming and shushed vocals. The…

  • Interview: Acidandali

    Noise Rock and Experimental Rock. For years, it seemed like an errand’s fool to start a band in these genres. At least in the Mexico City scene, both seemed like the refuge of freaks and gear geeks, with many a band’s future lost inside dank garages and isolated practice rooms. But the passage of time not only…

  • Stream: Weekender – Floaty Feeling, Blue

    Aw, geeze, the weekend is over but start this beautiful April Monday with the breezy dream pop from Weekender. ‘Floaty Feeling, Blue’ adds a dash of synth atmospheres to the colourful tones the band has painted with fingers splayed. You can feel a decisive love for 80s (check out the June 106 sound there!) while still giving…

  • Reseña: Weezer – Weezer (the white album)

    El futuro está ocurriendo ayer récords presenta:   Todos lo hicimos. El experimento de pintar un disco de cartulina con diferentes segmentos de colores, perforar un par de agujeros y hacer pasar un hilo de cáñamo a través de ellos para crear un sencillo sistema rotativo que al girar nos mostrara mágicamente el resultante color…

  • Assignment #23 : The House Party

    “I grew up watching all these videos of house parties” says Migraine Boy, between sips of Indio beer “and I always wanted to have my own behemoth house party were things get broken, music is performed and every one ends up demolished.” The warm August trashes a few solo cups. Mixed with the gust of…

  • The Lost Gem: Jenny Lewis & The Watson Twins – Rabbit Fur Coat

    Ten years ago, I was driving through the barren highways of northern Nuevo León, taking GPS points for an environmental study. My companions were another environmental scientist and a bunch of mix cds that curiously had Rilo Kiley‘s ‘The good that won’t come out’ in each of them. I confess without regret: I have an obsession with…

  • Stream: Tennis System – Here We Go

    Y’all remember Tennis System? We do! The trio are back with ‘Here We Go’, a brand new video for their upcoming album, out later this year. ‘Here we go’ finds Tennis System in a manic mood, delivering a track heavily infused with urgency and longing. The lazy Susan stage where the band performs for the video conveys…

  • Stream: Firesuite – Deadbeat

      It’s been a long time inside a chrysalis state, but Firesuite‘s new album, Outlive your body, is nearing its release date and there’s  a new track to whet appetites of shoegazers and space rockers alike. The instrumental ‘Deadbeat’ iterates itself in a swirl of atmospheres, jazzy drums and cosmic guitars. An amorphous shape in space collects…

  • A day at nrmal

    This review really shouldn’t exist. I mean this. After Corona Capital, I was pretty much over festivals but the siren call of Low was heed. The rest of the line-up was scrumptious. No excuses to stay indoors, not even the lure of Frank Underwood‘s Shakespearean antics. A peaceful drive through the leafy Calle 10 bode well. All…

  • Stream: Vyctoria – IV

      We are quite excited that the baroque pop magicians from Vyctoria are back with a brand new track, called ‘IV’! It serves as a sort of teaser trailer for their upcoming album, out later this year. ‘IV’ takes a baroque pop layout, mixes a few strokes of post rock and builds a bonfire with fiery tendrils…
