Will Schube believes they put a man on the moon I spent much of this past brutal Colorado winter layered in sweat pants and all-down-everything (slippers included), listening to Moonface’s Julia With Blue Jeans On over and over—Spencer Krug’s husky voice and powerful piano accompanying the seemingly constant snowfall. There’s something wonderfully intimate about Krug’s […]

Will Schube christens all blog posts with a beer bong A roadside grave suggests the opposite of what good music accomplishes, that is, something of permanence, distinction, and care. A roadside grave is temporary, an afterthought—a placeholder for something to come. The Roadside Graves—the band, not the highway rest stop-adjacent stone—turn the grave-in-passing into something […]

Like Greg Maddux, Will Schube stresses control over velocity Something weird happened to Blake Mills between the release of his criminally underrated debut Break Mirrors and now. Mirrors was released to little fanfare—his now-solo voice likely buried beneath the buzz created by his former bandmates in Dawes. That was four years ago, and in the […]

Will Schube is incognito and taking it easy There are few feelings greater than listening to a guitar player who simply owns his instrument. It’s an elusive skill—a combination of mastery, swagger, and that ever frustrating descriptor—feel. Steve Gunn, most well-known for backing up Kurt Vile, who has moved into the territory of bonafide solo […]

Will Schube is playing his part amazingly smart It’s easy to dismiss Spoon’s latest single, “Do You”, as nothing more than the band continuing along a path any fan of the group’s discography would be familiar with: great single, great album…Rinse, lather repeat. I often fall into the trap of taking the Austin, Texas band […]

Will Schube is still trying to see California, but this is his world Henry Miller once said that “Big Sur is the California that men dreamed of years ago.” While the internet and general 21st century tactics (let’s ruin everything good because we have lots of money and can do whatever we want) have taken […]

Will Schube usually be holding Tim Presley doesn’t spend much time dawdling on “Like That”, his latest single under the White Fence moniker. Within seconds, Presley’s finely tuned machine is off and running. It packs serious punch in its less-than-three-minutes run time. A brief guitar introduction (reminiscent of Girls’ “Lust for Life”) immediately gives way […]

Will Schube looks good in leather The summer of sadness is upon us! Or, at least it feels that way, as Tom Krell—also known as How to Dress Well—slowly reveals his latest existential opus, titled What Is This Heart? The whole thing comes our way June 24th, and the sun would be more of a […]

Will Schube owns 4% of Pied Piper If at this point, after so many good full-lengths, and equally inspiring non-album singles (a label many bands use to release not-up-to-par work into the world) you don’t listen to Woods, you probably never will. But for fans of the New York neo-psychsters, “Tambourine Light”—their latest non-album single […]

Will Schube slap chops venison Every couple of years, Dan Snaith re-emerges as Caribou, just to remind us that he’s a Lebowski-level capital D Dude. The Milk of Human Kindness came out in ’05, and was the kind of “oh shit” release that left you dying for new tunes as soon as you wore out […]
