Headbangers in Ecstasy
Seven days into the new year, my favorite album from an insanely strong start to 2011 so far, edging out James Blake, Tennis, Julianna Barwick, and S-Dubz. Distant and dreamily wistful Fleetwood Mac-in-the-USSR vibes. According to Piper: &quot;Our full length, Headbangers In Ecstasy will be out at the end of February...

Honey Owens' psych-house project the Miracles Club dropped one of our favorite jams of early 2010 way back in January, and now the song finally gets a proper vinyl 12" release, courtesy of our friends at Mexican Summer. The label says the record is reminiscent of "the late ‘80s/early ‘90s, big pants, Soul II Soul, shopping at the Gap, Coogi sweaters," and "Lisa Stansfield’s sp
