SHEARWATER IN AUSTIN


Thanks to the Austinist for hitting up the Shearwater show at the Parish last Thursday, as we here at Cannibal Cheerleader found ourselves recording the Faceless Werewolves at Emo’s (video of the FW and the Riverboat Gamblers from their Saturday show at Red 7 will be up this week!). Nonetheless it appears the Austinist has given once again excellent coverage to an excellent band whose sophomore LP Rook will be out tomorrow. Check out a track from the album below.

Shearwater – “Lost Boys”

DEERHUNTER’S MICROCASTLE LEAKS


The new album Microcastle from Psychedelia revivalists Deerhunter has leaked a full six months before its official release date. Obviously this will make the DH camp none to happy, though they have no reason to be. From just a cursory listen this album will undoubtedly top many year-end charts and remind us all why we fell in love with Deerhunter in the first place. Give a listen and comment what you think.

Deerhunter – “Nothing Ever Happened” (from the Microcastle LP)

N.E.R.D. RELEASE ALBUM DETAILS


Check out that wicked album cover! N.E.R.D. are back and it’s about time, as their new album Seeing Sounds is poised to put Pharrell and the boys back on top. Check this N.E.R.D. (feat. Kanye West, Pusha T, and Lupe Fiasco) – “Everybody Nose (remix)”

THE STRANGERS


For you horror junkies out there (such as yours truly), there might be no better way to spend your horror-movie money this week (except for maybe that Sex and the City horrorfest) than The Strangers, a genuinely suspenseful flick that combines those all-too-fun ‘jump out moments’ with a heavy, palpable sense of dread throughout the film. Definitely reminiscent of a more classic horror-movie take on Funny Games, so don’t be on the lookout for happy endings, just be prepared to get scared shitless by the enormous amount of terror ahead of you. Four out of five bloody pon-poms.

Comment folks!
