Somewhat of a childhood prodigy, Patrick Wolf was proficient in a number of instruments at a very early age and his versatility shines through on The Bachelor, his fourth full-length. His knack for skillfully arranging varying sounds into both soothing and exhilarating songs is showcased throughout this record; his theatrical persona and penchant for the melodramatic can be witnessed in the video for single “Hard Times.” Wolf envisioned this current crop of material as a double album titled Battles but eventually decided to release them individually. The Conqueror is expected next year. more ›

The speed of light is just under 300,000 km/s. It takes about 8 seconds for the sun’s light to reach us on earth, and that’s about how long it should take you to find Lightspeed Champion (aka Dev Hynes) completely charming. After his days in the short-lived, dance-core group Test Icicles, Hynes began this folked-out, playful, indie-pop project. His debut full-length, Falling Off the Lavender Bridge, comes out February 5th, and it’s full of players that provide the perfect accent to his earnest twang and sweetly-sung melodies. For the album, the American-born, U.K.-raised Hynes struck out for Omaha and decided to enlist Mike Mogis as producer to add that Saddle Creek sound. It was here that he found his additional players for the record in Mogis, Nate Walcott, Clark Baechle from the Faint, as well as members of Cursive and Tilly And The Wall. He keeps good company, even on tour. He’s been out with Bright Eyes, Final Fantasy and Patrick Wolf. While touring, Hynes enlists a rotating cast of accompanying musicians pulled from a list of his musician friends. more ›
