William Tyler - man in a hurry, 2019

"Before he became a solo artist, Tyler was a member of Lambchop and Silver Jews beginning in 1998. Tyler first joined Lambchop at the age of 19 because Kurt Wagner approached him about playing the organ in the band. However, it turned out that he got to play guitar because he admittedly said "I couldn't really play" the organ. Before releasing music under his own name, Tyler used The Paper Hats as working title for his solo music."

Beach House - take care, 2010

"Beach House singer Victoria Legrand must be bored rigid with reviewers continually mentioning that her music sounds like the ethereal lovechild of gauzy indie forebears Galaxie 500 and Mazzy Star. Granted, reiterating the platitude won’t help, but consider this a valediction; a way of drawing a line in the sand outside the Beach House of old, perhaps. For this, the third album from the Baltimore-based duo – singer/keyboardist Legrand and guitarist Alex Scally – proffers a bold evolution in sound and compositional ambition that renders comparison with those touchstones of yore immaterial."

Chumbawamba - enough is enough, 1994

"Enough Is Enough is an anti-fascist single from Chumbawamba and Credit to the Nation, on Chumbawamba's album Anarchy."

Yo La Tengo - friday i'm in love cover, 2015

"YLT’s rendition of the classic track is carefully stripped back acoustic take, focused largely on gentle guitar strums and a steady, spares drum that never encroaches on the lighter notes of singer Georgia Hubley."

Toy Cities - digital waves, 2020

“Digital Waves” is a rousing electro-pop success that highlights the Brooklyn-based act’s melodic strengths. Infusing a fondness for post-punk with ’90s indie-pop, Toy Cities navigate through hypnotic, suave verses into a chorus that pops with ample replay value."

Postiljonen - the open road, 2016

"This is summery dream pop at its best; made for lazy days and dreamy nights."

Thelonious Monk - round midnight, 1943

"'Round Midnight" (sometimes titled "'Round About Midnight") is a 1943 composition by American jazz pianist Thelonious Monk that quickly became a jazz standard and has been recorded by a wide variety of artists."

Jens Lekman - friday night at the drive-in bingo, 2007

"I have a new single on its way. It's called 'Friday Night at the Drive-in Bingo' and it sounds a lot like its title. Like the blood red sun in the horizon. Like the best slash worst slash best again night of your life. Like a pair of jeans you love but would never wear in public. Like a coverband playing Walk of Life in someones backyard. Like the point where sheer boredom pushes you into the great unknown. Like the country when the country wasn't cool. Like the peanuts in your coke. It's one of my finest popsongs ever in my opinion, but quite different from the other songs on my forthcoming record. Love it or hate it, regardless you're still welcome to drop by for a glass of applecider."

The Pigeon Detectives - you better not look my way, 2007

"Wait for Me is debut album of Leeds band The Pigeon Detectives. The album was released for CD, 12" and digital download on 28 May 2007 and charted in the UK Albums Chart at number three in its first week of release.

Sufjan Stevens - chicago, 2005

"There's so much pedantic subterfuge on this record, and historical two-stepping, cross-referencing, cultural theory, Marxist criticism, and on and on, that I just wanted to give the reader a little bit of comic relief here and there."

Counting Crows - chelsea live, 1997

"I have dissociative mental disorder -- it makes the world seem like it's not really there. You need familiar surroundings: family, friends, girlfriends. They ground you. When you're on tour all the time, it's hard to maintain those things. The tours were bringing me down. I hit rock bottom."

The Mary Onettes - explosions, 2007

"the Golden Age they're conjuring comes back through their melodies and song structures, not just the superficial business of synth settings and production styles"

Charles Bradley - dusty blue, 2013

"Victim of Love is a more optimistic record, from the Motown-inspired catchy pop-soul number “You Put the Flame on It” to the gorgeous “Through the Storm”, a quiet elegy to bury his past traumas. But these fuzzy moments are offset by new forays into more coarse instrumentation."

Scott Matthews - drifter, 2016

"Scott Matthews is launching his career for the second time. When he started out, eight years ago, the Wolverhampton singer-songwriter found himself acclaimed as the most exciting musician from the West Midlands since his admirer Robert Plant, with whom he recorded and toured; and his first single, Elusive, won an Ivor Novello award."

Pet Shop Boys - i didn't get where i am today, 2004

"The track features a sample from an obscure 1967 pop record titled "Father's Name Is Dad" by the band Fire. This explains the authoring co-credit for Dave Lambert, the writer of that song."

Frankie Cosmos - being alive, 2018

"Kline’s vocabulary is anything but limited, which is exactly how her band has built such a solid, sparkling catalog of meta-narratives and self-referencing vignettes. Frankie Cosmos songs are always focused on the spirals and intricacies of language, and “Being Alive,” from their forthcoming album Vessel, is no exception."

Franz Ferdinand - eleanor put your boots on, 2005

"The 'Eleanor' in the title is thought to refer to Eleanor Friedberger, lead singer of indie rock band The Fiery Furnaces who supported Franz Ferdinand during their 2004 tour."

 Such a great song!

Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever - french press, 2017

"Just as Rolling Blackouts’ music provides an instant sense of comfort through its ’80s indie-pop signifiers, lyrically, they make you feel right at home by dropping you in the middle of intimate scenes populated by first-name-basis characters."

Headlights - love song for buddy, 2009

"Wildlife is the third full-length studio album by the indie rock band Headlights."
