Single of the week: Cosines – Hey Sailor Boy! / The Answer (Fika)
This little 2-tracker 7″ from London England’s Cosines has the right pomp, the right stomp, the right chomp, and now I’m a chump for their charms.
Demos of the week | Moon & Negation
Here’s to there being a feminist punk band in every town, someday.
John Grant – Pale Green Ghosts (Bella Union)
Pale Green Ghosts is an album as diverse and hilarious, as dying and alive, as life itself. What more could you ask for? Prior approval? Grow up. The music world is a lot bigger than Pitchfork, and there are far more interesting journeys to go on than the path from a publicist’s e-mail to a writer’s inbox.
CocoRosie – Tales Of A GrassWidow (City Slang)
Angela Carter crossed with the newspaper, myth and reality intertwined in a tragic dance. That’s CocoRosie right there.

Single of the week: La Luz – Damp Face EP (Burger) & Call Me In The Day 7” (Water Wing)
Seattle’s La Luz have a definite beach blanket bingo vibe, especially if the beach in question is located somewhere in Twin Peaks with the ghosts of crackly 50s doo-wop & 60s girl-group singles echoing from someone’s AM radio.
