Liars

This week’s playlist includes new music by Sharon Van Etten, Arcade Fire, Bad Bunny, Kikagaku Moyo, CHAI, Arp, 700 Bliss, Tirzah, and more.

One of the standouts from Liars’ 2021 album ’The Apple Drop’ was the snarling ”My Pulse to Ponder.” They’ve now given that over to Brooklyn’s P.E., who have remixed it into a completely new track.

New additions to this year’s lineup include Blood Incantation, Warthog, The Dwarves, Nitzer Ebb, and Gaslamp Killer.

This week in Indie Basement: reviews of new albums by Urge Overkill, Steve Gunn, Modern Nature and Night Crickets (members of Bauhaus & Violent Films), plus the Meet Me in the Bathroom documentary and a look back at Built to Spill’s ‘Perfect from Now On‘

Meet Me in the Bathroom,’ the documentary adaptation of Lizzy Goodman‘s oral history of the early-’00s NYC music scene, just premiered at Sundance, and we talked to the directors about their approach to turning the sprawling book into 108 minute film.

The documentary adaptation of Lizzy Goodman‘s 2017 oral history of the early ’00s NYC music scene features tons of rare footage of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Strokes, Interpol and more.
