bees/i love you
via Pitchfork
"It's fake authenticity," the Inspector would declare. "It's like all the architects imitating Greek friezes and columns in The Fountainhead, while Howard Roark went out and made true heroic buildings that actually belonged to his time. This one's a pretty love song, though... The Temptations meet The Penguins."
"It's called 'I Love You'," Otterloo would reply, stooping over his antediluvian record player.

roommate/night
this album.. was terrible. i mean, bad. it's the kind of thing that if you bought the album for one particular song, you would be embarrassed to let your friends see it. on top of that, i've never taken the time to listen to the original track by rhombus, and i don't think i ever will.

The Antlers - i don't want love
via pitchfork
"I Don't Want Love" emerges from the morning-after fallout between friends with benefits, only without the friendship: something has clearly gone wrong, but Silberman doesn't sound accusatory: "I let you inside/ So you can push me around." Now a full-fledged trio, the Antlers reflect the situation's fragility in the music, an even-keeled flow of lingering guitar chords backing a melody that's forthright, yet trying to let everyone down easy. The mere mention of the title on the chorus is the big moment, as Silberman lets it hang for everyone to take it all in. It's understandable that the Antlers would be hungover from the gnarly bloodletting of Hospice; "I Don't Want Love" is less a rejection of physical pleasure than a subtly gripping call for emotional sobriety.

john maus/elite gymnastics
Your heart perhaps but what price the fellow in the six feet by two with his toes to the daisies? No touching that. Seat of the affections. Broken heart. A pump after all, pumping thousands of gallons of blood every day. One fine day it gets bunged up: and there you are. Lots of them lying around here: lungs, hearts, livers. Old rusty pumps: damn the thing else. The resurrection and the life.
Once you are dead you are dead.

youth lagoon/17
Youth Lagoon - 17 (Unofficial Video) from Michelle Peña on Vimeo.
Surrounded by nothing,
But the nothing's surrounded by us.
But it's just me in my room,
With my eyes shut.

Mountain Man/Joanna Newsom
"Y’all have been called the “female Fleet foxes” by several rock critics, was that ever in the running for a potential band name?
No, that was never considered. We did almost name ourselves “Balloon Animal Vagina,” because we found one of those weird balloon animals on the street in New York City, you know, the things that clowns make, and it looked like a vagina. Also, we thought we were going to call our first record Terrorizes the Nation, so we thought “Balloon Animal Vagina Terrorizes the Nation” would be a pretty funny title."
