[hot off the press] The xx//Angels

July 16, 2012 Concrete Opinions Leave a comment

The new LP Coexist from The xx is easily my most anticipated release of 2012 and after patiently waiting months for new material, you can now stream the new track “Angels”. I love love love this track and fears of a sophomore bust have slipped away. Coexist will be released September 10th via Young Turks (preorder today from iTunes and get Angels instantly).

[watch] Kishi Bashi//I Am The Antichrist To You

July 12, 2012 Concrete Opinions Leave a comment

Earlier this week, The Huffington Post premiered the video for Kishi Bashi’s “I Am The Antichrist To You”. Kishi Bashi’s wife created the story and all the illustration, and his good friend Anthony Scott is responsible for the impressive stop motion animation. Enjoy.

Also, Kishi Bashi’s first headline tour begins in a couple of weeks. He’ll be playing ALL songs and tickets are selling out fast, so don’t hesitate to grab tickets. More tour info at kishibashi.com/shows.

Sorry for the delay, but here it is, the fourth and final post of my favorite albums of 2012 (so far). If I had to rank my favorite albums of the year today, at least three of the albums below would make the cut. But alas, I still have about 5 months to narrow it down, but please check back in December to see who makes the cut. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out parts 1-3 (part 1//part 2//part3) and please, leave a comment below, or look me up on twitter or facebook, and let me know what your favorite albums of 2012 are (so far).
