Brooklyn-based Buke & Gass (pronounced byook & gace) are Arone Dyer on the “buke” (a self-modified six-string former baritone ukulele) and Aron Sanchez on the “gass” (a guitar-bass hybrid of his own creation). The song “Medulla Oblongata” is short and sweet, and will keep you on your toes. It’s amazing how much noise and rhythm can come from a just 2-piece. Their forthcoming self-produced full-length, Riposte, is set for release on September 14th on Brassland. |

Here’s a little diddy off Little Eichmanns‘ latest, Hologram. I hear a little Animal Collective in this song, but it’s not enough that would cause me to classify it as one of the many imitators that have come and gone since Merriweather was bestowed upon us. That’s a good thing by the way. I also hear a hint of Beck in the vocals of this album, but maybe that’s just me. Swing by Little Eichmanns’ bandcamp page to listen to and download the rest of the album for free. |

Just discovered Con Law, a great pop record from NOLA’s Generationals. Stream some tracks from the new record above and buy it here. I recommend “When They Fight, They Fight”. Enjoy!
| Newdust has been big fans of We Are Scientists since their debut album With Love and Squalor came out back in 2005. Keith (vox & guitar) took the time to answer a few quick questions about the tour and what We Are Scientists are up to. |

| Newdust: So how is the tour going so far? |
“Rules Don’t Stop” “Inaction” “After Hours” |
| WAS Keith: Well… day one was in Boston. We had the trailer hitch stolen off of our van, and we were an hour late to sound check. So I’d say its a smashing success. We bought margarita mix and tequila as well. Seriously though, this tour is great because we are getting to tour with some of our best friends from Brooklyn in Lightspeed Champion and Bad Girlfriend. | |
| ND: How many places are you from? According to your press kit you are “New York-based Californians” and you have an “adopted homeland in England”. | |
| WAS: Um… I had no idea our press kit said that. We are just from one place… and that is New York. We did though meet in California back in college, and briefly sublet an apartment in the UK. | |
| ND: How did you end up writing a song for the British World Cup team? | |
| WAS: We got into “soccer” while living the UK. Why do you care? Americans don’t like soccer! | |
| ND: Well I live in DC and… | |
| WAS: You spend too much time with all the ambassadors. (Keith called me out. I do in fact spend most of my time hanging with ambassadors, foreign dignitaries… and other social elites) American don’t like soccer. Anywhere you would go in England, within 10 feet of a TV there would be 50 people crammed near it. Crazy… | |
| ND: Give us a few bands that newdust readers have to check out? | |
| WAS: Oh man… Well, Two Door Cinema Club. This band called Yuck, not sure if it is with an exclamation point or not but their name rules! Also, 2/3 of this band called Oxford Collapse started a band called Skiing. Check em out! | |
|
————— Thanks Keith for catching up with us! Be sure get the new album Barbara out now. ATTN DC: We Are Scientists is playing Friday June 16th (tomorrow) at the Black Cat. Be there! |

I’ve only heard a couple songs from the upcoming Breathe Owl Breathe album Magic Central, and I couldn’t be more intrigued. This trio live and work in a Lincoln Log cabin in deep rural Michigan, where these songs were written and recorded, born out of their experiences living there. Magic Central is set to release 9/28 on Hometapes. I’m really diggin’ this one, “Swimming.” |

Forget about chillwave, lo-fi and electro beats, Australia is currently having a psychedelic rock moment with Tame Impala and their debut album Innerspeaker, released back in May. Consisting of three guys, Tame Impala is proving to be a real promising indie band with its catchy drums and melodies, Kevin Parker’s captivating voice and an ability to lift your spirit whilst you nod along. However, throughout Innerspeaker and especially with its first single “Solitude Is Bliss”, Tame Impala goes beyond the hype by treating us to songs of deeper meaning, in which the most playful melodies can reveal more personal and serious lyrics. |
More than just music we like to hear, Tame Impala makes songs we love to listen to… over and over again. Enjoy and get the album here.

It’s pretty hard not to like Secret Cities‘ Pink Graffiti. And it’s also pretty hard to put a genre label on it (acoustic-electro-folk-dream-pop?). It is certainly experimental and psychedelic, taking almost every sound imaginable and blending it into one super genre. The album is said to be about Brian Wilson and young people. Or to be more exact, “It’s about Brian Wilson and his work as a prism through which we view youthful things.” Definitely an interesting platform to jump from, and I think they did a tremendous job. You can’t go wrong with Brian Wilson is what this basically boils down to. |
