85 m. ago The Cribs: Selling a Vibe review | Alexis Petridis’s album of the week

(PIAS)The Jarman brothers’ ninth album adds a little 80s pop sheen to their distorted guitars and confident songwriting, while always sounding exactly like the indie stalwartsLast summer, the BBC broadcast an eight-part podcast called The Rise and Fall of Indie Sleaze. Its third episode heavily featured the Cribs’ bassist and vocalist Gary Jarman talking about his band’s first flush of mid-00s fame. It centred on their 2005 single Hey Scenesters!, from which the episode also took its name.

2 h. ago Add to playlist: the mysterious chillout milieu of False Aralia and the week’s best new tracks

Somewhere between record label and artist project, False Aralia harks back to microhouse and dub techno with its deep, detailed productionsFrom San FranciscoRecommended if you like Rhythm and Sound, Ricardo Villalobos, Vladislav DelayUp next Double LP from Topdown Dialectic released in springFalse Aralia disappears into a misty gulch somewhere between record label and artist project. It’s ostensibly a label, where each EP has a different named artist, and each sleeve, designed by Nick Almquist, features a different abstract expressionist monochrome doodle. But all the tracks are numbered, not named, and each EP is actually the work of just one producer, Izaak Schlossman (credited as IS), joined by a changing cast of collaborators. Continue reading...
