UTG STREAM: Grey Season – ‘Troilus’ EP

Last Sunday I was sitting at my desk working on a story when my phone rang. Brimming with excitement on the other end of the line was Craig Silva, a friend whom I run a small label with called Antique Records here in Boston. “Are you near a radio,” he asked in a frenzy, “tune into Harvard’s radio station as fast as you can or you may miss it!” I ran to the nearest stereo in my apartment and quickly spun the dial to the small, student-run station. When I got there I heard a group I had until that …

Belle Mare

UTG INTERVIEW: Belle Mare

Belle Mare is one of my greatest finds on Bandcamp. There are those moments after clicking through hundreds of bands and coming up empty-handed when you finally click on one and the sounds that exude from your computer hit the spot and make you feel like all that time clicking and searching was worth the wait. The band’s debut EP, The Boat of the Fragile Mind is gorgeous. It’s melancholy and elegant and ethereal. It’s folky dream pop at its finest and I can’t stop listening to it as of late.

We had the opportunity to speak with the Brooklyn …

James Blake

LISTEN: James Blake Feat. RZA – “Take A Fall For Me”

There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding James Blake lately. Earlier this week, news surfaced that Blake could potentially be working with Kendrick Lamar in the near future. Today another track from James Blake’s new album, Overgrown, appeared online.

“Take A Fall For Me” features RZA rapping over a laid back beat, which creates yet another perfect marriage between the hip-hop and indie worlds. James Blake lets RZA primarily take the reins on the track, but the English musician’s production shouldn’t be overlooked. Yesterday James Blake unleashed the bonus track, “Every Day I Ran” which features …

Looking Back On The Evil Dead

With the impending release of Evil Dead, a remake of the 1981 cult classic The Evil Dead I thought that now would be a great time to look back on the original and give some background on what made it such a success. This is not so much for the horror buffs (those dudes have already seen The Evil Dead dozens of times) but more for the younger readers or horror impaired that are probably going to get dragged to the remake

It’s finally here. Well maybe not fully and in any tangible form, but The Dear Hunter are now streaming their latest album, Migrant, in its entirety over at Billboard’s official website.

While this is merely a week in advance of the record’s release date, a sneak peek of the album is better than nothing, and this will show just why so many of our staffers have named this as one of their most anticipated releases of 2013 with enough time left to pre-order.
