Free Mako Sica MP3: Download "I'Itoi" from upcoming "Dual Horizon" (+more)
Chicago’s MAKO SICA Dual Horizon LP available February 16. Band’s avant-psychedelia limited to 250, 12” vinyl on La Société Expéditionnaire, their new record label. Cool fact: Dual Horizon was recorded as a live studio session without overdubs: not a common way to do things, but makes sense when you catch a glimpse of their style. Side note: lead singer Przemyslaw is now the 2nd person I know with that name, pronounced (I think) Pish-em-ick. myspace.com/makosica

Aloha’s new record Home Acres hits stores today!
The mailorder exclusive maroon vinyl looked so stunning that we decided to set up a little photo shoot for it.
Being it’s first time on camera and all, the vinyl was understandably a little shy. But with a little coaxing, Andy was able to get it to peek out from behind the gatefold jacket.

Video #391082120
Despite what you think you may already know about the often quirky, underground, or even mysterious world of indie folk music, New Strand Of Oaks will give you yet another tale to get wrapped up in. The man behind the music, Timothy Showalter, was victim to a bad relationship and soon after a burned house leaving room in his life for nothing but an inspired kick into his new musical career. Showalter, a Mennonite turned Hebrew earns side money by taking local Pennsylvanian children to and from school as a bus driver. Showalter is said to instigate bus-ride-sing-alongs.

Harvard // The Inevitable and I - AR
Harvard are a band that graciously indulged my interest in them a few months ago. I’d asked them for a copy of their debut LP The Inevitable, and I and received a prompt response and soon after, a beautifully produced album literally stuffed with memorable song after memorable song. So why the delay in this review? PLS (personal laziness syndrome) from which I sometimes suffer, though here the real trouble was launching a buggy, new website. At any rate, please read on and learn about a band that is the future of the experimental indie rock world.
