- Los Angeles experimental lo-fi drum-and-guitar duo No Age are Dean Spunt and Randy Randall, ex-members of hardcore band Wives. Through assorted indie labels, No Age released limited runs of vinyl-only EPs before collecting many of those tracks for the singles collection Weirdo Rippers, issued by U.K. label FatCat in summer 2007. The record's cover pays respect to the Smell, a venue/art space they felt was partially responsible for the livelihood of both No Age and Wives. The duo is also known for its videos, performance art, and visual art, as well as curating an exhibition that included works by Devendra Banhart and others. The band moved to Sub Pop for its full-fledged debut album Nouns, which appeared in spring 2008.

- After disappearing into the attic of Uncle Matt’s house on Long Island for a long winter with their casios & samplers, Josh Kolenik and Ryan Heyner emerged with pop songs melding strange beats, dreamy synths, tape hiss & laid-back melodies. Teaming up with longtime collaborators Juan Pieczanski and Jeff Curtin, the band fleshed out the bedroom sound for live performance, combining a full drum kit with sampled drums, live bass, keyboards and samplers. After tearing through nine shows in under a week for CMJ, the band was asked to play in a wide range of places, from small art spaces to big venues and everything in between.
Described by Pitchfork as “absurdly addictive” and “soul-stirring,” Small Black released their self-titled EP on CassClub on October 13th. After completing a split 7-inch remix project with Washed Out (out soon on Lovepump United), as well as a UK single for “Despicable Dogs” (out now on Transparent), the band is gearing up to finish the full LP in an empty house in Delaware over the next few months.
