Homeless Tracks – Killin' the radio waves since 2012

The Walkmen – Heaven [Album]

The Walkmen are an indie rock band with members based both in New York and in Philadelphia. The group formed in 2000, following the break-up of two separate bands: Jonathan Fire*Eater and The Recoys. The Walkmen released their first EP in 2001 and their debut album in 2002. Heaven, released on May 29th, 2012, is [...]

The Spill Canvas – Gestalt [Album]

From Sioux Falls, South Dakota, The Spill Canvas was originally a side project for Nick Thomas, who had been a member of Nodes of Ranvier. He resigned from Nodes to make The Spill Canvas a full time group, however. Which is great news for us, because The Spill Canvas has had a slew of great [...]

Lana Del Rey – “Never Let Me Go”

“Never Let Me Go” marks the first bit of space that Lana Del Rey has scratched out since she dropped Born To Die, back in January. Sung softly, dull-as-a-rock, and over a smooth instrumentation, “Never Let Me Go” maintains the lovesick Lana-complex that so many of us fell in love with back when she first [...]

Reptar – Body Faucet [Album]

A couple months back I wrote an article about a song called “Orifice Origami.” After concluding the article, I couldn’t wait to hear what else Reptar was prepared to deliver. Well, the time has come, and Body Faucet has been released. The album starts off with one of the singles, “Sebastian.” This song has been a personal favorite of mine since [...]

Sleepy Turtles – Summer, Hither [EP]

I recently had the pleasure of previewing Sleepy Turtles debut EP Summer, Hither, due out on May 29th. We had previously covered their single “Nature’s Hymn.” The EP features a remixed version of that track, as well as 4 new tracks: “Summer, Hither,” “Morning Song,” “Reason to Hope,” and “Being Small.” The EP’s title track begins [...]

Passion Pit – “Take A Walk”

Passion Pit just released a single from their upcoming album Gossamer, which is due out in July. Having warranted so much success with the release of Manners, it seems only proper that the band would follow in their own footsteps and dish out some new ear-candy for all of us indie pop enthusiasts. That being said, “Take a Walk,” [...]

Arctic Monkeys – “R U Mine?”/”Electricity”

On April 24, 2012, British indie rockers Arctic Monkeys released two new singles: “R U Mine?” and “Electricity.” The two singles are available for purchase together on iTunes for $1.98. “R U Mine?” is the A-side track, and deservedly. The song has a great riff carrying through most of the song, played on a distorted [...]

The Tower and the Fool – How Long [Album]

The Tower and the Fool is an indie rock group from Providence, Rhode Island. The band was initially a two-person songwriting project, but they decided to flesh out their lineup a bit to record. Fortunately for us, they fell in love with the sound, and The Tower and the Fool was born. Following last year’s EP [...]

Sleepy Turtles – “Nature’s Hymn”

Sleepy Turtles are a wonderful indie folk band, with one of the best names I’ve ever heard. The group first formed to compose a soundtrack for a novel, and decided to stay together afterwards. The Atlanta-based band has begun streaming their new single “Nature’s Hymn” on Soundcloud (see the audio file below). The track will [...]

Maroon 5 – “Payphone” (Ft. Wiz Khalifa)

“Payphone,” Maroon 5‘s latest radio jam, is very parochial, to say the least. It features a pithy verse from everyone’s favorite botanist, Wiz Khalifa, and exudes hair gel, suntan lotion, malfeasance, teardrops, Nair, and tween-heartbreak. To see Maroon 5 cave into that same, depraved demographic that supports groups like the forever-lame One Direction, is both comical [...]

Mesita – “Everything is Burning”

“Everything is Burning,” the 10th track on Mesita‘s latest album, The Coyote, has placed me on cloud nine. Listening to the track forces me to split my lips, smile in googly ecstasy and reminisce about all the joyous things in my life. The song starts off with strong lyrics of distraught destruction, but progressively becomes something more [...]

Prinzhorn Dance School – “I Want You”

Now, I wasn’t going to post anything else today, but I feel as though choosing not to post this would be an absolutely unforgivable transgression. And, as I so often agree with myself, I’ve decided to come back and post it for y’all. “I Want You” by Prinzhorn Dance School is so undeniably heartbreaking, that by the time [...]
