Stick with this one for a little bit, cause once all the parts come together it’s an absolute monster. Contemporary MBV playing through Slowdive’s pedal boards.
It also pleases me that I get to note a Pittsburgh tour date on two blog posts in a row. Beach House is at Mr. Smalls 8/22. Imagining that guitar tone filling up every nook and cranny of the old church has me all sorts of excited.
Is there some national ordinance that everybody in Australia must be in, bare minimum, 3 bands at any given time?
Total Control are here on August 3rd, and they’re playing The Shop with The Gotobeds and EEL. Show of the year candidate for sure.
The new Creepoid album is one of my favorites of the year. It lurches and creaks forward, but never once gets boring, even when it slows to a crawl. “Dried Out” is about as close to a rocker as the band get on Cemetery Highrise Slum, but their gaze stays firmly planted on their shoes throughout.
Hello, internet stranger! Today is the first day of my new career, which is about close to “dream job” as I can get while working for somebody else. And while I realize I’m just a disembodied voice posting songs on this little blog, I thought you still might like to know I’m quite excited.
To celebrate, I think it’s a great time to share this wonderful project by the French composer Chassol. He created his own audio/video travelogue featuring footage he captured while visiting the Caribbean island of Martinique and piano tracks he overdubbed in studio. The whole thing’s far more enjoyable to watch than it is to explain, so how about you just click play on that there Youtube video I attached to this post?
Of course, the entire thing is better than the sum of it’s parts, so I recommend picking up the DVD from Tricatel.
“Instrumental 4” from an album titled Instrumentals 2015. There shouldn’t be much confusion about what to expect from the new Flying Saucer Attack LP.
Think Ecstatic Vision may have a bit of a Spacemen 3 influence?
I still find myself being surprised when Low, quintessential slowcore vets that they are, can create such an imposing atmosphere with so few ingredients. “No Comprende” is a reminder of how effortless it seems when they make “epic” happen.
