New Voxtrot - "Trepanation Party"

Back in '06 Voxtrot stormed out of Austin with two memorable EPs of concise, soft and warm indie pop. The next year they put out a less memorable full-length, and subsequently clammed up, seeming to be alright with being forgotten... CONTINUE READING NEW VOXTROT - "TREPANATION PARTY"»

Kudos to our brother in blogging Brooklyn Vegan for curating a kick-ass CMJ opening night show at Bowery Ballroom!

Austin City Limits '07: Hot Freaks! Afterparties (Grizzly Bear, Art Brut, The Rosebuds, Sparrow House, St. Vincent)

Harry Potter And The Deathly Cyclone

Did you spend Saturday with eyes glued to The Deathly Hallows? Or ears glued to The Black Lips? We did neither, but these folks managed to do both: (Pic by Paul Antonson.) Yep, no Siren for Stereogum. Not 'cause the... CONTINUE READING HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY CYCLONE»

Pitchfork Music Festival 2007 [Saturday; 7/14] Rating: 8.1

No classic albums played in their entirety, but any fest day during which your mind is blown thrice is indeed a good fest day. As noted, there's a hipster agenda at play at Pitchfork Music Festival (duh), but the... CONTINUE READING PITCHFORK MUSIC FESTIVAL 2007 [SATURDAY; 7/14] RATING: 8.1»

New Voxtrot Video - "Stephen"

This is so not the video Voxtrot needed to make. If you found the band's self-titled LP soporific, this pastiche of clips from a November Bowery gig and moments in the studio (with no relation or regard to the song... CONTINUE READING NEW VOXTROT VIDEO - "STEPHEN"»

New Voxtrot - "Steven"

Though voraciously devoured upon leak, the watercooler buzz on Voxtrot's forthcoming, self-titled debut on Beggars Banquet has, well, cooled. The band's soft and warm indie pop found fans across the blogs with their excellent EPs, but Voxtrot doesn't match those... CONTINUE READING NEW VOXTROT - "STEVEN"»

Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Reich

We just got through listening to the Voxtrot remixes you guys sent in, and we're impressed! "Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives" is a pop gem, so we weren't sure which direction you guys would go; the best we could ask... CONTINUE READING MOTHERS, SISTERS, DAUGHTERS & REICH»

Remix Voxtrot

Austin's Moz-loving indie-poppers had a banner year, largely on the strength of their Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives EP -- and particularly on the awesomeness of the collection's title track. And now you can bastardize the song any way you... CONTINUE READING REMIX VOXTROT»

Voxtrot @ Mercury Lounge, NYC 4/9/06 (And KEXP MP3s)

"Of course it's limp. It's twee!" Ramesh joked. He was talking about an uncooperative mic stand and not his music, but Srivastava's self-effacing banter is a sign of his confidence. And it's well placed. Take in two taut EPs and... CONTINUE READING VOXTROT @ MERCURY LOUNGE, NYC 4/9/06 (AND KEXP MP3S)»
