Grab the new Liars track Scissor off the upcoming March release of Sisterworld. The song goes from 0-60 a couple times throughout, make sure you don’t crank your speakers to hear the quieter parts. ‘Sisterworld is Liars own space, completely devoid of influence, somewhere remote from the false promises and discarded dreams amassed in LA. In it Liars explore the underground support systems created to deal with loss of self to society.’
London, Ontarios Raised by Swans are at it again with a followup to 2005’s brilliant album Codes and Secret Longing with a new release titled No Ghostless Place. For fans of sounds in the vein of Mew, Sigur Ros, head to their myspace to hear a couple new songs (I’ll try to get one up on the site) or stream ‘Secret Garden’ below. If you’re in Toronto, head to the Horseshoe this friday for the official CD release party (and the bands first performance in over a year and a half). That can be both a good or bad thing, interested to find out which one it will be. I also wonder if lead singer Eric Howden still performs shoeless.

Yours Tru.ly has a great video of Holly Miranda performing ‘Lover You Shouldve Come Over’.
-Speaking of videos, kill some time this afternoon watching Music For Kids Who Can’t Read Good‘s best videos of 2009. I think they’ll be a bunch of those making my year end videos list, hang tight for that one.
-And speaking of videos again, check out the video for ‘Kisses Over Babylon’, the second installment of SALVO!, a 12-part music video series from Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros. Kisses picks up in the same desert wasteland world, ravaged by drought. Edward is arrested by two Minors (police from Ursa Minor) for the murder of his own father, and taken to a water-labor prison. There he reunites with Brother, his long-ago friend, and rallies the prisoners to a frenzied prison break.
Part one (Desert Song) is at the bottom, might make sense to watch that one first.

Remember this Holly Miranda song we praised a little while back? Well, Holly is giving us two more versions of the song ‘Waves’, one in the form of a Fiume video session (from La Blogo’s Vincent Moon), the other in a free download from her site (go to HollyMiranda.com to get the acoustic version). And don’t worry, these Waves will not disappoint.

[audio:http://www.indiemusicfilter.com/audio/Waves.mp3]Need that song for the 2:44pm daydream at your desk? Check out Waves from Holly Miranda, lead singer from Brooklyn’s Jealous Girlfriends. A beautiful combination of organs melting into walls of reverb, a sexy voice and a distant tambourine fighting to be heard against the backing drums. It comes from her debut record, which was produced by TVOTR‘s David Sitek. Both the Tripwire and P4K have another track from the album, Slow Burn Treason, featuring another TVOTR member Kyp Malone. For fans of Mazzy Star, Beach House, Karen O.
