Mumford & Sons’ Ted Dwane confused a lot of people recently when he used the term “doom-folk” when talking about their next album, but singer Marcus Mumford says it was meant to be a joke. Mumford added that describing their new sound as “Black Sabbath meets Nick Drake” was a bit off, but it doesn’t mean that they’re not evolving. The vocalist says the group have been taking their time with the new album and not putting a deadline on when it will be ready.

Each week on “Out Of Order” Jed The Fish makes a personal song choice – it’s called his “Catch Of The Day”. This has been a tradition for all 18 years that “Out Of Order” has been on the air. It’s usually something new, cool, or just plain weird, but it’s always something hand-picked by the Fish himself.
Anyway, we haven’t been good about posting his choices here online (sorry, our bad). So, consider this the ultimate ‘Catch’ crash course. All of Jed’s picks thus far in 2012 (including this week’s) are available for you to check out, after the jump…

Well, rather than choose sides in this ongoing debate, the new documentary RE:GENERATION sought to bring both sides together.
Every now and then you come across a song that seems to ooze cool. “Razorblade” by The Knux is one of those songs. An awesome mix of rock and hip-hop sounds, this track has a swagger that cannot be contained…
It’s been 5 years since The Shins last released an album. Sure, front-man James mercer was kind enough to give us Broken Bells during that time, but that was merely an offering to hold us over. Now, as The Shins prepare to release Port Of Morrow in March, we have their first single for you – “Simple Song”…
