The Shaky Hands – Allison and the Ancient Eye (MP3)

There’s something vaguely Neil Young-ish about all of this. It might be the scraggly hair that doffs each dude’s head in the Shaky Hands. But regardless of what all involved appear outwardly, this tightly wound track – “Allison and the Ancient Eyes” – from the upcoming Let It Die, makes good on the vague promises that last year’s Lunglight presented. This isn’t gonna get these guys opening for Bad Religion who opens for Pearl Jam (?!?), but there’s unquestionably still places for this Portland band to take its music.

Let It Die hits shelves Sep 29 via Kill Rock Stars.

Artists Design for Soundscreen Design Summer 2009 Collection

Here’s some cool artwork for band gear designed by L.A.’s Brian Roettinger/Hand Held Heart, Montreal’s Seripop, and Chicago’s Jay Ryan/The Bird Machine. They lend a hand to styling Soundscreen Design’s summer collection featuring No Age, Gang Gang Dance, Deerhoof, Handsome Furs, Fucked Up, Liars, Battles, The National, and Pelican.

You can grab the gear (I like the Deerhoof hoodie) at record stores and specialty boutiques, along with Soundscreen Design’s and participating bands’ websites. It’s nice to see more art and thought going into merchandise, and Soundscreen Design is owned by Insoud aka the folks with other cool indie art projects.

Deerhoof pulls a Lil Wayne

Check out Deerhoof's mysterious little page and download what the trio of weirdos is calling a free, MP3 album. It's quite possible that they're fearing retribution from Swizz Beats for the user-generated mash-up that appears on the album and that's why it comes with the disclaimer: “I don't know how long we can keep these up here, so I'd recommend downloading now and asking questions later.”
