I recently discovered Woods through Gorilla vs. Bear and “The Dark” has been stuck in my head ever since. While this track is available now on a 7″ via Captured Tracks, their full-length LP, Songs of Shame is set for an April 14th release on Woodsist. Did you write that down? Good.

I’ve been steadily “blogging up” Passion Pit to get you ready for the release of their May 19th LP, Manners. Well, their myspace page finally gave us a little taste with the single “The Reeling.” Yup, that’s the chorus of little kids from the Fader video.

Patrick Carney (of Black Keys fame) has been busy on a new project called Drummer. Take that Auerbach! My Old Kentucky Blog reports that their debut album will be out some time this fall. If this song is any indication, I might have to give Carney the win.

The drumming on “No Fun” may sound a little menacing, but give it a second – it slips into a a catchy tune complete with a bluesy guitar riff. Vampire Hands opens up for Wavves at Bottom of the Hill on April 13th. I’m interested to see how the rest of the material on Me & You Cherry Red/Cuz It’s a Funeral plays out live.
