Portland's Ages and Ages have a new album coming out next month, but you can taste it here with a download of their new single.

Summer Cannibals makes its music from a lot of time-tested summer signifiers: loud guitars, shouted choruses, and an anger that’s heated but also party-ready.

Austin's Good Talk provides a nice summery jam on its debut album. Download the song here and catch them at the Sidewinder on July 14.

Big Thief brings its Neil Young/Crazy Horse sound to Waterloo Records this evening before opening for Kevin Morby tonight at the Sidewinder. Download a free song here.

Austin's David Young has lent his jazz trumpet skills to Lauryn Hill and the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic, but now he's taking a crack at songwriting. Download a song here.

On his new album, the legendary DJ Shadow crafts hard-hitting electronic music that's nonetheless dog-eared and scuffed like old records.

Austin's Hard Proof teams up with Spoon's Jim Eno on its new release, and the results are simply fantastic. Download a song and catch the band tonight at Central Market.

Sunflower Bean sounds like a psychedelic approximation of the Cure, jittery and distorted but catchy all the same.

Peru's La Inedita combines chicha, hip-hop, and reggae into a sound they call chichamuffin.
