Portland, Ore.-based Miles Kurosky is what old-time journalists used to call a “great quote.” He’s one of the few interview subjects you’ll find in the music biz these days who’s totally unafraid to step on a few toes to get his point across. And he’s got the musical chops to back up his shoot-from-the-hip posture. [...]
Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward paired up in an on-a-whim collaboration for 2008′s Volume One, but even the title hinted at something bigger. Sure enough, the two are back as She & Him for Volume Two (Merge). Deschanel’s vocals are more complex on this album, while Ward continues to provide his signature folksy feel. Much [...]

Jangly ’60s pop that almost makes us remember summer and a time before snowdrifts, “Tribe” sounds like the Byrds decided to modernize their sound by, oh, about five years or so. That’s not to say that the Young Sinclairs, a Virginia “conglomerate,” are old-fashioned, per se. It’s more that they know a good genre when they [...]
MAGNET’s Mitch Myers files his sixth round of notes from the SXSW Festival. The new documentary about Jim Morrison and the Doors comes a little bit late in the game.
