New My Robot Friend Video - "Robot High School"

My Robot Friend, the stage name for one-robot band Howard Robot, somehow got caught up in the whole electroclash thing in '02 (approximately that month when New York Mag had WIT on the cover), but forget all that. You should check the laptop-laced double-bass blues from MRF's full-length debut Hot Action!...

My Robot Friend - "Why Won't You Call Me Back?" (MP3)

... and then watch this clip for a new cut from Robot's forthcoming album. It's black and white and red-paint water-ballooned all over. That black ball is a star! And possibly held in place with magnets?

Robot rock:

My Robot Friend - "Robot High School" (MP3)

Robot High School is out soon on Soma Records.

Raleigh-via-Eau Clair BTW Megafaun debuted impressively earlier this year with Bury The Square. The trio nip-and-tuck experimental tendencies (tape splicing, white noise colliding with banjo, junkyard-laced spring reverb, screeching feedback at the tail end of a quiet back porch lament)...

Horse Feathers - "Father"

Portland songwriter Justin Ringle's evocative vocal twang and sharp lyricism are at the center of Horse Feathers' bedroom Americana. The band's second album House With No Home, which follows 2006's Words Are Dead, finds Ringle's vision fleshed out by multi-instrumentalist/composer...
