Review by Roshan Krishnan

Foals has always been an odd little contradiction of a band. Their origins lie in math rock, a decidedly non-mainstream genre. Foals’ mercurial frontman, Yannis Philippakis, is an unapologetic hipster who detests catering to the lowest common denominator. Yet they don’t lack ambitions of mass-appeal. Foals’ goal is and has been to sell boatloads of albums and fill stadiums—and incredibly, they appear to be succeeding, especially with the advent of their latest album, Holy Fire.

Foxygen Delights With New Album

It's hard to hate the type of music contained on Foxygen's second album, We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace and Magic. Even at the first listen, the Californian band's psychedelic rock band's feels like an old, comfortable pair of shoes. On songs like "On Blue Mountain," with its retro groove, or "Oh Yeah," with a chord progression that owes more than a little debt to "A Whiter Shade of Pale," it's easy think you're just hearing some forgotten gem from the Beatles' White Album.

The xx crystalizes Miami

"We'd like to make a formal apology for taking our da** time," Oliver Sim admits to the crowd for taking years to finally perform in Miami. It was well worth the wait, to say the least. Tuesday night, the crowd at the Fillmore in Miami Beach was stunned by the purity of Oliver Sim and Romy Madley-Croft's voices amongst the soft but throbbing electronic beats being spun by Jamie Smith in the background.
