Those that have been on the internet a little while are well aware that Class Of '06 BTW members Annuals are capable of a great song or two. So if we launched into a description of new tune "Sore" --... CONTINUE READING NEW ANNUALS - "SORE"»

Whether it's making nice with Grizzly Bear down at Bonnaroo, or engaging in some reciprocal cover love on a tour-only 7" with Atlanta-based tourmates Manchester Orchestra (tracks below), BTW Annuals seem to make for good friends. Reader Jon writes in... CONTINUE READING NEW ANNUALS - "NAH KESEYI"»

Old-timey Band To Watch Annuals were rocking "Carry Around" everywhere this past SXSW: Now they have a proper video for the tune, the same puppy they performed on Conan way back in January. Yup, it's kinda fascinating when a group... CONTINUE READING NEW ANNUALS VIDEO - "CARRY AROUND"»

If Friday's 'Roo music trolling left something to be desired, Saturday's lineup was more than just compensation. Of course it was all about the Police, but seeing the Lips' laser-pointered psych carnival and a triumphant, hippie-conquering blowout from the... CONTINUE READING BONNAROO: SATURDAY 6/16/07»

Despite the excellent lineups all over town, our daylight hours on Friday had been spoken for well before we made the trek to SouthBy (and particularly after spending Thursday systematically missing a bunch of the acts we'd hoped to... CONTINUE READING SXSW: FRIDAY IN AUSTIN»

Here's the vid for the instant-buzz track "Brother" from Be He Me, where Annuals take a walk in a not-so-ordinary forest. Featuring a cobweb-blowing Anna Spence (if you scrunch up your eyes it's like she's blowing you a kiss!), and... CONTINUE READING NEW ANNUALS VIDEO - "BROTHER"»

Our second Annuals show in 24 hours (we told you we'd be looking out for 'em). The Tar Heel sextet closed with twee-cum-balls out rocker "Brother" (MP3). They opened with that single at Syrup Room the night before at 2... CONTINUE READING STEREOGUM DOES CMJ: ANNUALS @ FADER HOUSE»

Well, things get a little fuzzy at this point in the night. We had a cabbie that didn't know Brooklyn from Bangkok, and Syrup Room is nestled in a not-so-easily found neighborhood of empty warehouses and little else. True, the... CONTINUE READING STEREOGUM DOES CMJ: DIW PARTY @ SYRUP ROOM»

Ace Fu has a major buzz band on its hands with North Carolina's Annuals. Our friends at PFork describe them as "a fantasy hybird of Animal Collective, the Arcade Fire, and Broken Social Scene." That's one way of saying these... CONTINUE READING BAND TO WATCH: ANNUALS»

As we pass saturation point for press coverage of Montreal, Portland, Brooklyn and et cetera, it seems Lawrence, Kansas is poised for its coming turn in the music media trend piece carousel. At least from what we're hearing; this marks...

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...

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...

Every week, we dig in the archives for videos that we find noteworthy, memorable, or just unbelievably stupid. And then, Jon McMillan breaks 'em down for you. This week: Papa Roach lands an uppercut on the glass jaw of big oil.

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...

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...
