Kent-based band, It Hugs Back, reminds me a tad of My Bloody Valentine and Yo La Tengo with their experimental feedback and dreamy guitar sounds. But what really caught my eye is their Tetris-inspired music video for their song, Now + Again.
It’s been confirmed: Casino Blues will be making the cut on the new Death Cab for Cutie album. This album (scheduled to hit stores in mid May) was recorded live to analog tape with as few overdubs as possible.
Guitarist Chris Walla describes the album as “really weird. It’s really, really good, I think, but it’s totally a curve ball, and I think it’s gonna be a really polarizing record. But I’m really excited about it. It’s really got some teeth. The landscape of the thing is way, way more lunar than the urban meadow sort of thing that has been happening for the last couple of records.”
