The Rosebuds announce new album - 03.30.2011


After 2008's Life Like, things went a little sour for North Carolina's Rosebuds. Kelly Crisp and Ivan Howard were done as a married couple, and on the verge of being over as a band. But in the time since then, they've worked on healing those wounds, resulting in a deeply personal and cathartic new album.

Loud Planes Fly Low, the band's fifth full-length, is slated for release June 7 on Merge Records, and is said to contain some intimate and heartbreaking material. Grab a hanky!

Tracklist:

1. Go Ahead
2. Limitless Arms
3. Second Bird of Paradise
4. Come Visit Me
5. Without a Focus
6. Waiting for You
7. Woods
8. A Story
9. Cover Ears
10. Worthwhile

R.I.P. Disfear bassist Henrik Frykman - 03.30.2011


Henrik Frykman, bass player for long-running Swedish metal outfit Disfear, has died after battling cancer, according to a report from True Cult Heavy Metal. The band has issued the following statement:

Video: Fleet Foxes "Grown Ocean" - 03.30.2011
Fleet Foxes have always had a bit of a rustic, classic rock feel, and their new video seems to drive that vintage aesthetic home. The band just debuted a video for "Grown Ocean," from new album Helplessness Blues, due May 3 from Sub Pop, which has an arty home-movie kind of feel. The video was directed by Sean Pecknold, brother of Foxes frontman Robin Pecknold.
