The California-based label MJ MJ Records (Two Michael Jordans — as if you needed more than one?) is kicking out another volume of the serious sauce: Serious Sauce Vol. 2, starring the irreproachable electronic artistry of Slyy, conqueror of worlds and friend to the Earth. The beat tape clocks...

I first heard a single called "Honey Eye Bee Leave Ewe" from this North Carolina-based band Alligator Indian. Poppy, enjoyable, reverb-drenched retro sugar — I pegged them for a Cults-type experience, but wanted to hear more. Alligator Indian just released their new EP (LP? at six tracks, it would...

Heavy echoes of QRO fave Boy Without God via Hip Hatchet’s latest release Men Who Share My Name. Or does the influence run in the other direction? Or, final possibility, have both artists & outfits entered into a mutually-inhabitable cultural space free of linear causal narratives, other than a...

Chicago’s Very Truly Yours is hittin’ the wax with their new 7" Girls Tell You Secrets, released via Cloudberry Records, a sweet little Floridian impress that’s a bit DIY, a bit international socialism, and all awesome. Gotta love Very Truly Yours. Saw them at the Subterranean in Chicago, with...

Tiny Fireflies is a 2-piece dream pop band that has released a pretty much perfect gem of an EP. Four songs, so cool they could chill a drink. If you play in a band and are wondering whether to debut with a "sort of OK" full album or an...

When MMM-MMMP3s gets excited about an EP, we have the tendency to stream the entire tracklist, even though one could just as well head to Bandcamp and stream it there. Do whatever you like, but make sure you listen to the self-titled debut effort from White Birds, the white...

Weather Balloons — jesus fucking christ, I feel like we’re back in the 90s. This is lo fi, low rent Sebadoh-style indie rock that is just nuts & bolts garage-y mayhem with a warm bass line holding down the feedback-fricaseed guitar & vox. The Brooklyn-based foursome just sort of...
