Destroyer Releases Video for “Kaputt”


This video we are letting speak for itself. It’s weird. Very weird. But do you expect any less from Destroyer? No, we didn’t think so. Dan Bejar releases the video for the title track “Kaputt.” You’ve been warned.

Sufjan Documentry Still On Hold, New Trailer Released

Since 2006 eager fans have been waiting for the release of the long awaited Sufjan Stevens documentry directed by Kaleo La Belle. The 52 minute film titled Crooked River is a tale of Sufjan and his brother Marzuki visiting their father in Michigan after a few years of not seeing him. There is no word if this documentry will EVER be released. Why? Well no one has really said. There is a new trailer for the film though which you can watch below. It’s a curious tale.

Of Montreal Announce Spring Tour (Yay!), Talk New Album


Though we are in the midst of awaiting another snow storm in New York, our favorite glam rockers Of Montreal are already warming things up by announcing their spring tour. The band has a few more dates coming up this month and then the party kicks off all over again in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Like all other Of Montreal tours, there will be plenty of costumed players and stage props around that will fill the stage. What new chapter the tale will take is up in the air but we are sure that Kevin’s brother, the infamous David Barnes, has something great cooking up as usual.

After this tour, Barnes and co. will head back into the studio to start working on the follow up to last years’ False Priest (Polyvinyl), in their “never rest,” fashion. New songs are already slated to be played on tour as well as old favorites, and covers. The next record Barnes admits to being inspired by the newest Sufjan Stevens release The Age of Adz. Go figure. The band will release the EP The Controller Sphere (Polyvinyl) which will be available on tour. Check out the tour dates below and get out your glitter!
