Modern love. How do you tread the landscape of trying to establish a connection with anyone through countless apps, a steady and scrolling plethora of options and the knowledge that maybe there’s really not one person out there for everyone? It’s enough to make you want to take off to the middle of nowhere, move into a tiny pink trailer and cultivate your very own ‘Lars and The Real Girl” type situation. In the new video for Kandle’s “Broken Boys” our heroine does just that.

Ponytails are a great band. When you see them play together they have such a natural ease and chemistry with each other that it’s easy to assume they are all great friends off stage as well as on. The band has just released their new Lester Lyons-Hookham directed video for the winsome stunner “Cherry Pie,” and with it the reveal that the band is a lot tighter that we may have initially thought.

Cat Power has been an indelible part of the American songbook for the last couple decades. Her songs are as beautiful as they are diverse. Her absence the last few years has definitely been felt but now Chan Marshall is back with a new single and video for “Woman”, off of her upcoming tenth studio album Wanderer (October 5th, Domino Records). Featuring some help from Lana Del Ray, “Woman” is quintessential Cat Power. A healthy dose of Americana tiered by a solid driving rhythm section and dreamy harmonies.

Lurking under couches and in cupboards behind corn starch in many American homes are the remnants of the last stand of guitar-based music, from back in the early part of this century. The front lines being fought by the White Stripes and the Starlite Desperation, the war eventually was lost when Jet exposed the flank by not obeying orders, and the entire army collapsed.
