Savages Release Video “Marshal Dear” Denied Mercury Prize
London based post-punk rockers Savages released a video for “Marshal Dear,” the final track on their brilliant full-length debut Silence Yourself.
In other Savages news, the all-female band was denied the Mercury Prize last Wednesday evening. The annual award, which is given to the United Kingdom album of the year, ended up in the hands of James Blake for his release Overgrown. The electronic music producer beat out the likes of Arctic Monkeys, David Bowie, FOALS, and Savages for the distinguished award.

New Music Tuesday October 29, 2013
The following albums dropped today and are available in your local trendy record stores or on digital download.
Arcade Fire “Reflektor”
The Canadian collective release their follow-up to the Grammy Award-winning album The Suburbs. The buildup of hype and hysteria over this release is enough to make Daft Punk jealous. Things have gotten so crazy for the group that Rolling Stone calls the most important band of the last decade; that they had to change their name to the Reflektors temporarily. The Reflektors have gigs scheduled here in L.A. tonight at Capitol Records and Thursday at the Palladium.

Indie On TV Alert For The Week Of 10/28/13
Here’s your Indie on TV alert for the Week of 10/28/13. Remember you can watch previous week’s performances in the Indie on TV page.
Watch Washed Out “All I Know”
The latest single off Paracosm, the sophomore effort from Washed Out, is the beautiful “All I Know.” When all the fun lists are revealed at the end of the year, this tune should be near the top of many of them (IMO, of course). The video, produced by Urban Outfitters, is obviously nowhere near as beautiful as the song, decide for yourself. Washed Out is chillwave extraordinaire Ernest Greene.

Recently, the band appeared on Sirius XMU and said there will be some big U.S. tour announcements coming in early 2014. I take that as a possible spot on the top line at the 2014 Coachella Festival. They deserve it!

Their latest release titled New Constellation, is the long-awaited follow-up to 1997’s Coil. The pride and joy of Santa Barbara, California are considered by many a deepster as a highly regarded guilty pleasure band.
