flashback...1974

Iggy Pop - Passenger

Julian Plenti is...

Interpol frontman Paul Banks has apparently been playing shows under the moniker Julian Plenti for several years now, with some of the songs off his debut solo release 'Julian Plenti is...Skyscraper' written more than ten years ago. although Banks' vocals are so distinctly Interpol, its sad to say that as a solo artist he falls a little short of the bands achievements.

Julian Plenti - Unwind

xx

The xx are a quartet hailing from london who met in school due a shared love of dark 80's music. the recently released debut 'xx' is a soft sounding album that heads in a different direction to the steady flow of noise pop emerging from the u.k.

The Xx - Islands
The Xx - Shelter

Q. The Antlers are.....

a) an organised group of rowdy University of Missouri student basketball fans known for heckling the opposing team

b) an indie rock band from Brooklyn

c) large and complex bony appendages of most deer species

All are in fact correct however b) is the answer we’re looking for. The Antlers are an indie rock band based in Brooklyn celebrating the second coming of the previously self-released Hospice. Although the lyrical content gets a little heavy at times, that can be expected from an album about the death of a cancer patient. Hospice is the bands first full album and is a slightly confronting, but powerful offering.
