The National – “Eucalyptus”
On my first listen through the National’s new album First Two Pages Of Frankenstein, “Eucalyptus” jumped out. The track has continued to be a favorite on subsequent spins, ingratiating itself as one of the highlights of the band’s recent catalog. So I’m glad it’s out today as the project’s latest single following “Tropic Morning News” […]

Cory Hanson – “Twins”
Cory Hanson, frontman of the Los Angeles psychedelic rock band Wand, has a new solo album coming out this summer. I’m sure Hanson gave a great deal of thought to the question of what he should call this new album, and he decided that the title should be Western Cum. Bold! We’ve already posted that […]
