Anna Hall-Edwards is the epitome of graceful. She is sweeter than a summer night, and her style is just the same; laid back, easy going, and bohemian. She’s also an extremely talented jewelry designer and maker. You can always catch her working hard in the studio, and you can always count on her looking flawless, even with goggles on…

The EP’s first single, “Keep On Rising” features Behrens’ familiar and passionate vocal vibrations.

Listen: Austra: “American Science” cover
Canadian-based Austra have released a cover of Duran Duran’s “American Science,” and it’s perfect and fresh and…so Austra. The single comes from the upcoming Duran Duran tribute, Making Patterns Rhyme: a tribute to Duran Duran, out in August. We are of the belief that covers should be more like reinterpretations of songs – otherwise, what’s the point? Remaking a song…
Listen: “God Help the Girl” from Belle and Sebastian movie
We’re finally hearing more than whispers about Stuart Murdoch’s upcoming Belle and Sebastian movie, God Help The Girl – starring Emily Browning as Eve, Olly Alexander as bandmate James, and Hannah Murray (Gilly on Game of Thrones!!) as bandmate Cass.

Vinyl In The Forest: Vinyl’s Top Favorite Moments of Electric Forest 2014
Imagine a place where you can immerse yourself in total freedom. A place where responsibilities of the daily grind are abandoned and your inner child is encouraged to come out a play. Inhibitions, judgements, and preconceptions dissolve away with every smile and hug exchanged with a stranger. And that worldly concept of “stranger” fades as…
AthFest 2014: Stokeswood x Vinyl Mag
Imagine a group like Young The Giant on 80’s dance steroids. That’s kind of what comes to mind when I try to describe the incredible and unique sound of five-piece Atlanta rock group Stokeswood. I had the opportunity to sit down with the guys before their set this weekend at AthFest, and let me tell…
AthFest 2014: A Recap
[tps_header] In the summer, Athens is almost a ghost town in comparison to its usual hustle and bustle that makes it the Classic City. Most of the parking lots are empty, restaurants are slow, and the bars and music scene are practically nonexistent. Then, for five days over a weekend in June, Athens gets its…
Weekly Playlist: Fourth of July
Fourth of July Playlist In middle school, I remember learning about the founding fathers and the Revolutionary War and thinking, “wow, this is completely irrelevant to my life.” These men shaped the America we have today and all, but I could probably recite the chapters of those American History textbooks by heart. Sure, I understand…
