Here's a new Parquet Courts b-side for you to feast on, from their single for Borrowed Time. Enjoy "Smart Aleck Kid", one of 2 unreleased gems on the upcoming 7 inch (get a copy).
Audacity continue to age like a goddamn fine wine, or a delicious cheese. "Finders Keepers" appears on the 7 inch of the same name, out April 2nd on the Suicide Squeeze Singles Club.
Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats return to slaughter the masses. I don't know when it'll be available, but Poison Apple is a 7 inch single that will physically exist real soon from Rise Above Records.
It's gonna rule, don't you worry your pretty little faces.
It's a new year, which means we can count on The Men releasing another killer album - New Moon comes out March 5th, while the first single "Electric" will be released as a 7 inch later this month, with non-album cut "Water Babies" on side B. Oh yes, I like 2013 very much.
Even more output from Ty Segall - this time on drums with frequent collaborator Charlie Moothart. They go by Fuzz, and they quietly released a 2 song 7 inch on Trouble in Mind. A second pressing is on the way, but for now enjoy the ripper from side a.
I was looking at Styrofoam Drone's list of the top 30 7 inches of 2012 and Zig Zags, who I had not heard before, showed up twice (at #22 and #1). Holy shit - these guys... this is the real fuckin' rock n roll deal right here!
Here's a track by CHVRCHES that I'm sure everyone loves by now, but I didn't see it P4K best new music or anything, so check it out. The 7 inch is way sold out, so try discogs or ebay or your local thrift store. Good luck!
A new Cold Cave offering means the group has gone through it's semi-regular sea change, retaining only it's CEO Wesley Eisold in the process. While a tour has been booked with a new band, Eisold wrote and recorded a new 7 inch by his lonesome in the process: A Little Death to Laugh is 3 songs "inspired by the late poet Tristan Corbiere". He must've been awesome, because this song rules.
Future Islands are already back with a new 7 inch, returning to Upset the Rhythm (who released their wonderful debut) for "Tomorrow" b/w "The Fountain". As you already know, these guys can't write a bad song and are great at making you feel real happy or real sad - "Tomorrow" is a sad one, so get ready to break down and internalize some shit. Don't worry, it'll be real good for you.
Ty Segall delivers Twins in October, yet another effort from his very productive 2012. "The Hill" is the first single, which will also exist as a 7 inch with a b-side come September 4th from Drag City. Life is too good.
So glad to hear something new from Bare Wires honcho Matthew Melton after their disintegration: "Reaction" is the a-side from Warm Soda's new 7 inch, coming out "soon" on Southpaw Records. Can't wait!!
New music from The Babies! Here's "Moonlight Mile", the first single from their sophomore effort/Woodsist debut Our House on the Hill, out this fall. It's another solid track, with Kevin Morby singing the lead - they're so consistent!!
