New Annuals Video - "Confessor"

We showed you the Bob Ross cover art for Such Fun, Annuals full-length followup to Be He Me. The video for lead track "Confessor" is also the work of an artist, but it has more of a fairytale-cum-Bible story look....  CONTINUE READING NEW ANNUALS VIDEO - "CONFESSOR"»

Annuals' Such Fun Album Art

Annuals full-length followup to Be He Me also includes trees on its cover, but these look happier. They look like the happiest trees (and clouds) ever because the painting's a Bob Ross original. You should already know about the gentle...  CONTINUE READING ANNUALS' SUCH FUN ALBUM ART»

Islands And Annuals And Jicks: Siren Fest 2008 In Photos

I couldn't make Siren Festival this year and Amrit and Brandon were at Pitchfork, so ... how was it? Based on the photographic display from Kyle Dean Reinford I guess sweaty? How was the sound? Did you shoot the freak?...  CONTINUE READING ISLANDS AND ANNUALS AND JICKS: SIREN FEST 2008 IN PHOTOS»

New Annuals Video - "Sore" (Stereogum Premiere)

Annuals made a strong statement for return and reinvention -- or at least, their newly learned lesson of bringing "finesse to their dynamics," as we said a few weeks ago -- with the loping symphonic folk of "Sore." It's a...  CONTINUE READING NEW ANNUALS VIDEO - "SORE" (STEREOGUM PREMIERE)»

New Annuals - "Sore"

Those that have been on the internet a little while are well aware that Class Of '06 BTW members Annuals are capable of a great song or two. So if we launched into a description of new tune "Sore" --...  CONTINUE READING NEW ANNUALS - "SORE"»

New Annuals - "Nah Keseyi"

Whether it's making nice with Grizzly Bear down at Bonnaroo, or engaging in some reciprocal cover love on a tour-only 7" with Atlanta-based tourmates Manchester Orchestra (tracks below), BTW Annuals seem to make for good friends. Reader Jon writes in...  CONTINUE READING NEW ANNUALS - "NAH KESEYI"»

New Annuals Video - "Carry Around"

Old-timey Band To Watch Annuals were rocking "Carry Around" everywhere this past SXSW: Now they have a proper video for the tune, the same puppy they performed on Conan way back in January. Yup, it's kinda fascinating when a group...  CONTINUE READING NEW ANNUALS VIDEO - "CARRY AROUND"»

Bonnaroo: Saturday 6/16/07

If Friday's 'Roo music trolling left something to be desired, Saturday's lineup was more than just compensation. Of course it was all about the Police, but seeing the Lips' laser-pointered psych carnival and a triumphant, hippie-conquering blowout from the...  CONTINUE READING BONNAROO: SATURDAY 6/16/07»

SXSW: Friday In Austin

Despite the excellent lineups all over town, our daylight hours on Friday had been spoken for well before we made the trek to SouthBy (and particularly after spending Thursday systematically missing a bunch of the acts we'd hoped to...  CONTINUE READING SXSW: FRIDAY IN AUSTIN»

New Annuals Video - "Brother"

Here's the vid for the instant-buzz track "Brother" from Be He Me, where Annuals take a walk in a not-so-ordinary forest. Featuring a cobweb-blowing Anna Spence (if you scrunch up your eyes it's like she's blowing you a kiss!), and...  CONTINUE READING NEW ANNUALS VIDEO - "BROTHER"»

Stereogum Does CMJ: Annuals @ FADER House

Our second Annuals show in 24 hours (we told you we'd be looking out for 'em). The Tar Heel sextet closed with twee-cum-balls out rocker "Brother" (MP3). They opened with that single at Syrup Room the night before at 2...  CONTINUE READING STEREOGUM DOES CMJ: ANNUALS @ FADER HOUSE»

Stereogum Does CMJ: DIW Party @ Syrup Room

Well, things get a little fuzzy at this point in the night. We had a cabbie that didn't know Brooklyn from Bangkok, and Syrup Room is nestled in a not-so-easily found neighborhood of empty warehouses and little else. True, the...  CONTINUE READING STEREOGUM DOES CMJ: DIW PARTY @ SYRUP ROOM»

Band To Watch: Annuals

Ace Fu has a major buzz band on its hands with North Carolina's Annuals. Our friends at PFork describe them as "a fantasy hybird of Animal Collective, the Arcade Fire, and Broken Social Scene." That's one way of saying these...  CONTINUE READING BAND TO WATCH: ANNUALS»

Band To Watch: Blank Dogs

Blank Dogs are actually singular: It's the insanely prolific one-man Brooklyn-based band of Mr. Blank Dog. We don't know too much about the biography of the guy behind the bedroom new-wave pop/punk and he's usually covering his face with masks...

Premature Evaluation: Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul

Pushing Noel off a stage in Toronto might bruise the erstwhile Oasis mouthpiece's ribs (maybe even his spirits) and cause the band to cancel a show or two, but nothing can stop the slow procession toward a new Oasis album....

The Postmarks - "11:59"
