Digging Graveyard

The throwback ’70s rock thing has been in style for the last few years, with bands like Wolfmother making it big by harnessing the sounds of Zeppelin and Sabbath. While this kind of retro stoner rock can sound a bit tired and calculated, the soulful, bluesy rock conjured up by Sweden’s Graveyard seems so genuine, it’s hard to believe the band was formed in ‘06 and not ‘76.

Lonely Hearts (Loving Hand Remix by Tim Goldsworthy)

Released by !K7


Could DFA be over: at least for the moment? There does seem to suddenly be a slew of Tim Goldsworthy remixes under his Loving Hand alias, fueling speculation that TG might have his own project on the way soon to outshine his work in UNKLE. Of course, he might just be keeping himself busy while James Murphy gears up for the push behind the next LCD Soundsystem record. Whatever the case, this mid-tempo remix leaves the disco behind for a demonic rave vibe, hosted by a poltergeist of some ...
