Deerhunter


Deerhunter's new EP, Rainwater Cassette Exchange, is set to be released June 8th on Kranky. Based off hearing the EP's title track, the group seems to have taken a slight step back, toward the more cluttered dreamy garage-pop of their first EP, Fluorescent Grey. Definitely looking forward to hearing what else the EP has to offer.

Headless Heroes


Headless Heroes consists of a group of artists working together to create/recreate music for music's sake. The group's lead voice is Alela Diane and the mission is to produce gloriously fresh creations of older songs that may have gotten lost in the cracks of time. The group covers a wide range, spanning over forty years, from "Daniel Johnston, The Jesus & Mary Chain and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds back to Vashti Bunyan, Linda Perhacs and The Gentle Soul." The Silence of Love, their sophomore album, will be released May 19th. You can grab the Headless Heroes' cover of Daniel Johnston's "True Love Will Find You In The End" here, at the bottom of the page, for the easy price of an email address.

Erol Alkan


Erol Alkan always seems to take tracks to a new level after he's had his way with them and he certainly transforms the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' rather unspectacular single, Zero, into a dance floor phenomenon.
