I’m in awe in the infinite amount of good music in the universe. So, i’m sorry if i’m a broken record about that. I’m not sorry for sharing this.
Actually, here is a second great track from them. Enjoy!
Not sure why this popped up on my news feed today, but I thought i’d share it because i’ve always loved this song. I hope that Emily has a new album coming out sometime.
These are demo tracks from the period after Galaxie 500 broke up, recorded at Wharton Tiers’ Fun City Studios in New York City, featuring Dean Wareham accompanied by drummer Jimmy Chambers (Mercury Rev) and, on “I Can’t Wait” by Hamish Kilgour of the Clean. Later versions of the songs appear on Luna’s Lunapark album.Luna (at this early stage Dean Wareham) was signed to Elektra by A&R man Terry Tolkin who had previously worked at Rough Trade, Touch & Go and Caroline Records. Terry now lives in New Orleans and is gravely ill. He is fighting a rare and aggressive virus that has his doctors perplexed, and facing huge medical bills for hospital visits, thrice-weekly dialysis and prescription drug co-pays.All profits from the sale of this digital EP on Bandcamp are being sent directly to Terry to help pay his bills. Price is $7 but you are free to donate more…
The first 30 seconds are all I needed. This is very good. Sometimes music just gets me so excited! Listen to this. Then go buy the 7″ from M’Lady’s Records.
Jim already posted “You Disappear”, the first single from La Luz’s upcoming Ty Segall produced album, and the band just let another song leak from Weirdo Shrine. I’ll let frontwoman Shana Cleveland get real with you for a moment:
That song is about when you lose somebody. A friend of mine died in Michigan, that I was close to when I was in high school. I was thinking about how when someone dies the world is almost physically changed because they’re not giving back to it and their breath isn’t in the atmosphere. That’s the lyrical meaning of the song, for me. But there’s also a lot of breath in the song. The first line is, “I don’t wanna be anywhere, you have not breathed the air.” A lot of that song is also just like breathing, all four of us breathing, all the aaahs and ooohs and stuff.
You can hide your eyes if you like, but make sure you are listening to this emo shit.
Back in 2006, Hebden and the late Steve Reid shared their take on Derrick May’s dancefloor staple.
I like how this song fools me up front. With the initial feedback I think it’s going to be Seam. And then, some crazy awesome shoe gaze happens. I mean, not that Seam isn’t ever shoe gazey. How does one spell gazey?
