Lars Finberg

With an ever mutating sound — not to mention lineup changes and name variations — it’s hard to rank Oh Sees albums, but we’ve attempted to make sense of their sprawling discography by looking at 10 of their best.

‘Lil’ Peril‘ is the 11th Intelligence album and will be out September 30. Main man Lars Finberg says it spans “‘No-Wave SANTANA’ to ‘SCREAMERS recorded by JON BRION’“

This week’s playlist includes new music by Sad13, Cloud Nothings, Phoebe Bridgers, Portrayal of Guilt, Arlo Parks, Saba, Cordae, Miley Cyrus ft. Billy Idol, Statik Selektah ft. Joey Bada$$, Lars Finberg, Bad Bunny ft. Rosalia, Black Thought, and more.

The Intelligence frontman’s new video features dancing cockroaches, Donald Trump, and more.

This week in Indie Basement: reviews of new albums from The Intelligence’s Lars Finberg and San Francisco’s Cindy, plus reissues from Young Marble Giants, Jarvis Cocker, and more.

‘Tinnitus Tonight’ is Finberg’s second solo album and it will be out in November.

This week: mutant punks The Intelligence, Melbourne, Australia’s Terry, a new EP from Jorge Elbrecht (Violens, Lansing-Dreiden), Jane Church (ex-Spires), and Ben Stiller’s high school post-punk band (not a joke).

The Intelligence’s Lars Finberg has a new video for “Benevolent Panic” from last year’s great solo album, Moonlight Over Bakersfield. Conceived by Lars and directed by Ryan Daniel Browne, a six quadrant split screen divides things into individual instruments with Lars at the helm of everything, but then things change.

The video, from The Intelligence frontman’s solo debut, was directed by Matt Ingebretson, who co-created and stars in Comedy Central’s pitch-black capitalism satire, Corporate, and it stars Bridger Winegar (The Late Show w/ Craig Ferguson) and the two of them came up with the concept together.

This week it’s the Indie Basement picks for best LPs of 2017, tilting heavily to classic indie, college rock, and more.
