The Oedipus Project
Twin Shadow is the pseudonym of George Lewis Jr.
Born in the Dominican Republic, he currently resides in Brooklyn with previous stops in Florida and Boston.
Confess is his second album inspired by an intense ride on his motorcycle, pushing the limit, after a previous accident in Boston.
“Five Seconds” from the album harkens back to the best of the New Wave.
Paul Banks, the man with the compelling lead voice in the band Interpol, has just released an EP as a precursor to a full solo album in September.
He uses the name Julian Plenti for his solo projects. Thus the title: Julian Plenti Lives…
“Summertime is Coming” is the featured track.
Took last week off but Jonathan L is here every Monday.

Matt and Kim, the joyous punk duo from New York, have readied a new album for September.
Over the course of the summer they will roll out songs from Lightning.
“Let’s Go” is the first, charming as always from Matt & Kim.
Husky is an indie folk 4-piece out of Melbourne, Australia.
Last year they won a best unsigned band radio contest in their home country and subsequently signed to Sub Pop Records.
Forever So is their impressive debut.
Listen to “History’s Door” and download for free.
The instrumental band Turing Machine just released What is the Meaning of What.
It is their first album in 8 years and the first since the tragic death of drummer Jerry Fuchs who died in 2009 in a freak elevator shaft accident.
Using original tracks laid down by Fuchs with assistance from Pat Mahoney, the drummer from LCD Soundsystem, Justin Chearno and Scott DeSimon entrance us with hypnotic intensity.
“Slave to the Algorithm” is a free download.

The Japandroids rock!
The Vancouver duo of Brian King (guitar, vocals) and David Prowse (drums, vocals) blast through their 2nd album, Celebration Rock, with passion and poise.
“The House That Heaven Built” is the irresistible first single.
The Cribs are a British brother band: twins Gary and Ryan Jarman and younger brother Ross.
They’ve been a trio for most of their career save the last album when former Smith’s guitarist Johnny Marr joined the band. He subsequently left to pursue his solo artistry.
In the Belly of the Brazen Bull, the band’s fifth album, was released in May of this year.
“Come On, Be a No-One” is the powerful single.
