Childish Gambino – “We Ain’t Them”

“We Ain’t Them,” is a window straight into Childish Gambino’s current state of mind. Poignant and personal lyrics about his career, critics, and ultimate success are fired off with a voice veiled in swagger and confidence, betrayed only by the worry and fret found in his lyrics. Success has found Gambino fast, and though multiple avenues, and as his name continues to grow, it...

Yeasayer – “Henrietta”

The band’s name has become an odd bit of wordplay recently as fans of Yeasayer have been saying “yea” quite a bit for the last 24 hours. Why? Because Yeasayer has finally given us something new to sink our teeth into. Am I crazy about it? No. Is it along the same line as previous Yeasayer material? For the most part yes… and for that reason it is good (most certainly not bad), but...

HEALTH – “TEARS”

Band created soundtracks to movies and video games are great. It forces the musicians to not only create for themselves, but to enhance and help tell an already existing story.

Cheers Elephant – “Leaves”

But, just because we missed them the first couple of times around doesn’t mean you should. Maybe you didn’t, in which case, I’m curious why you didn’t tell us about them. Anyway, the band ranges anywhere...

Bob Dylan and The Band – “Flight of the Bumblebee”

You can almost taste the lack of sleep and stale cigarette smoke on “Flight of the Bumblebee,” another gorgeous rarity dug up by the always stellar blog Doom & Gloom From the Tomb. Built on an old blues riff, the song slowly takes shape, stumbling its way into existence. Dylan spits out some lyrics, but doesn’t really say anything; the song is instantly memorable in that regard....
