Britt Daniel Summons You Into A Black Cab

The folks at the Black Cab Sessions continue to exploit the heretofore untapped acoustic potential of London black cab's back seats with Spoonman Britt Daniel, who give us Fiction's "I Summon You." This follows in the wake of similar sessions with the Raveonettes and fellow Austinite Will Sheff, although competitively speaking Britt gets the most demonstrative endorsement from his cabbie.

Nice job Britt, although we don't think summoning folks into cabs with you would even require a guitar or silly sunglasses. For more musical fun with cars, check La Blogothèque's Van-pire Weekend and Guillemots' Red cab session.

Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga is out via Merge.

Still one of the best songs he ever wrote.

A few months ago I had a dream I was driving around with Britt Daniel and he was playing music in the backseat.

Britt Daniel can summon me anywhere, and I'd go in.

Quit Your Day Job: Ungdomskulen

The Bergen trio Ungdomskulen play proggy post punk, mixing chops and hooks with a sense of humor. But they don't sound like Primus. When I was in Norway a couple years ago, "Ungdomskulen" seemed to be on everybody's lips (or...

Premature Evaluation: Beck - Modern Guilt

It's been some time since we learned Modern Guilt, Beck Hansen's eighth album, would be some sort of psych rock minimalist '60s trip with Danger Mouse. Since then, we've gotten a look at the old-school jazz/Blue Note-style cover art and...

Not all of Stereogum's favorite sounds conform to what folks expect us to cover. In this space, resident Bananafish fetishist Brandon Stosuy usually focuses on bands, albums, singles, and villages in Sweden that may otherwise pass by unnoticed. This time...

Damien Jurado - "Murderer" (Low Cover)

After hearing "Gillian Was A Horse" from Damien Jurado's forthcoming Caught In The Trees, we contacted the Seattle singer-songwriter and asked if he'd want to premiere a track at Stereogum. Lucky for us (and you), it turned out he had...
