| White Denim hardens up with Stiff
March came in like a lion, and went out like a lamb. Or something like that. The snowy season is finally over and the spring is upon us. The clouds may be bringing rain, but the music world is bringing some sunny new gems.
Texas psych-rockers White Denim are generating a buzz with their latest album Stiff [March 25, via Downtown Records]. The record is 9 tracks and bounces around from one playful beat to another. Frontman James Petralli said the band wanted to "go back to basics" and it rings true on the album. On the track "Ha Ha Ha Ha (Yeah)", the band shows off more of a soulful side and it could pass as a funky R&B song. The whole album is a pleasant listen. Check them out on tour as they weave through the United States with big festival gigs at Forecastle and LOCKN'.
It's good to know the winter is finally behind us and the spring is here. The March Playlist is filled with fresh tunes and makes the perfect soundtrack for tuning up the bike, cleaning off the golf clubs, or strolling through the park.

| Panda Bear Meets The Grim Reaper |
Although the sun hasn't seen much action lately, the year is off to a hot start thanks to a healthy portion of fresh tunes.
Baltimore's Noah Lennox, better known as Panda Bear is back making experimental electronic music, and his latest record Panda Bear Meets The Grim Reaper is his most complete effort to date. Lennox states he's "psyched to be an old guy", and it shows throughout the album. He also shows off a more youthful vibe as can be heard on the track "Boys Latin." A large tour will support the album with stops in Europe and coming back home with a big slot at Coachella.
The January playlist is a good way to stay warm while shoveling the snow, skiing down a black diamond, or drinking an Irish coffee in the lodge.
