		<title>Worn Records and White Fences</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
White Fence, the one man project of Tim Presley (of Darker My Love fame), plays trebly psychedelic pop that sounds just as influenced by 60s bubblegum one-offs (I&#8217;m looking at you Lemon Pipers and your &#8220;Green Tambourine&#8221;) as by &#8220;serious&#8221; artists like Love and the Byrds. On his debut album for Woodsist, White Fence, Presley [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dum Dum Girls Stay Blissed Out, Cover Black Tambourine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just grabbed the latest packaging of songs from Dum Dum Girls a.k.a. the only group with enough swagger and snarl to make the &#8220;girls&#8221; suffix truly ironic. This limited Blissed Out cassette contains all of their songs so far, and acts as a good preview for their upcoming debut full-length I Will Be, something that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rangers &#8211; Suburban Tours</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Upon relocating from Dallas to San Francisco, Rangers masthead Joe Knight conjured his glazed weariness into the 11 tracks of murky psychedelia that would become his debut LP Suburban Tours. On the odd album opener &#8220;Deerfield Village&#8221;, he positions himself as some sort of repetitive, humorless version of Ariel Pink, with abrasive blasts of lazy [...]]]></description>

The lineup for APF 3 just hit about an hour ago, and once again it&#8217;s lookin&#8217; pretty good, as expected. The Black Angels headline, of course, as they have the previous two. Full lineup:

		<title>New Ariel Pink &#8211; &#8220;Round and Round&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
4AD just released the first single for the forthcoming, as-yet-unnamed record from Ariel Pink&#8217;s Haunted Grafitti. The song is smoooooooth, ya&#8217;ll &#8211; but what the fuck happened to all the sonic bullshit that Ariel stuffs in his usual jams?! I hope 4AD isn&#8217;t going to start &#8220;cleaning up&#8221; the Ariel Pink sound and turn him [...]]]></description>

		<title>Caribou &#8211; Swim</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Dan Snaith, a.k.a. Caribou a.k.a. Manitoba a.k.a. &#8220;The Professah,&#8221; seems to follow a chronologically retroactive pattern. His earliest work reflected IDM and glitch standards prolific in the &#8217;90s. Then his breakthrough full-length, Up in Flames, evoked silky &#8217;80s dream pop and shoegaze. 2005&#8217;s The Milk of Human Kindness took cues from the heyday of krautrock. This eventually [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pure Ecstasy Drop New Voices/Alexandria 7&#8243;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Austin trio Pure Ecstasy dwell in a swampy hybrid of past and present. Their recent string of patient, affected singles gave nods to peers in the tropical lo-fi scene with their cavernous, prismatic reverb guitar settings, combined with hefty dub baselines and crawling 4/4 beats. Where they tend to stand out the most is their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Huess&#8217; Lite-Brite Beat Factory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I made a half assed promise a while back to spotlight more left-field hip-hop on this site and never followed through (or all rap music ceased to exist during my absence of interest, you decide). So good looks to UK psych/soul producer Huess for helping me back in touch by releasing his new EP I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tune In, Bliss Out With Spirit Spine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Let&#8217;s get this out of the way: Spirit Spine, the one man laptop project of Bloomington, Indiana&#8217;s Joseph Denny, sounds a lot like Panda Bear. From the huge drums to the deep space reverb to the campfire singalong melodies, Denny has completely absorbed the template laid down on Person Pitch. But what saves him from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Killer Comp and SXSW Party From Kill Red Rockets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Austin-based label Kill Red Rockets is a humanitarian effort, providing a wealth of free shit. They currently host a killer (pun intended) compilation on their website available for free download called Jesus in Space made up almost entirely of good stateside shoegaze, dream pop, fucked electro, and ethereal meditations with teeth. The comp is packed with artists readers [...]]]></description>
