On our last night of South by Southwest, we got a cleansing escape from the overwhelming crowd and bustle to head to the Graveface Records/Noisy Ghost PR showcase in the middle of nowhere in a secluded garden dreamland called Tillery Park. It was there that we came across dreamy duo The Stargazer Lilies who just got off of…
Shaky Knees 2014: Local Natives x Vinyl Mag
Local Natives graced us at Shaky Knees with their glorious presence on the final day of the fest, the last to play the Peachtree Stage before the day’s headliner, The Alabama Shakes. Luckily for us (and for you readers, actually), the band also graced us with an interview to discuss their too-short Shaky Knees experience,…
Shaky Knees 2014: Blood Red Shoes x Vinyl Mag
After postponing our interview with Blood Red Shoes at Shaky Knees until after The Gaslight Anthem went on (none of us were willing to miss it), we finally met up with the band in the press tent. The interview started off with Steven being in a bit of a “silly mood,” slow to take things…

After running into Black Taxi at The Blind Pig in downtown Austin at South by Southwest, we were introduced (OMG passive voice – I’m so sorry, Mrs. Browning) to their friends and fellow musicians, The Modern Electric. We took advantage of this newly formed relationship and decided to do an(other) impromptu interview in the alley…
Lykke Li: ‘I Never Learn’
It’s finally here; Lykke Li’s third album, I Never Learn. Three years since her second album, Wounded Rhymes, and six years since her first, Youth Novels, Lykke Li has developed beautifully but has also remained true to the unique style that captured our ears from the beginning. I Never Learn is an amalgamation of emotions;…
