Lower Dens – Brains
"This layered intoxicating enigma of musicality will undoubtedly usher in a new progressive era of self realized listeners, sort of a love-child of Tolstoy and Deerhunter..." The ostentatious old blowhard was still going. I barely witheld my snicker. What a pathetic excuse for a so-called genius. Still, I had to admit, his mustache was...
Youth Lagoon at The Social 3/21
If you’ve read my introduction post, you’d know that Youth Lagoon’s The Year Of Hibernation, is an album that I have great admiration for. Being that the album is one of my favorites, I put away any sorrow that I had and decided to fully enjoy Youth Lagoon’s imaginative, nostalgic set. The show took place in a venue called...
Lambchop – Gone Tomorrow
There is a certain brand of songwriting that I started to notice around the mid-nineties. What I am thinking of is a formula for folky type “bands” to have beautiful songs that are well written and really heartfelt that seem to throw sexual curveballs at you in the least expected places. The biggest offenders are Smog, Will Oldham (Palace...
In The Realm Of The Senses With Thom Yorke’s Lazy Eye
Holding onto the chair for dear life, lest he be sucked into the green cosmos, Errett Goff inhaled the rapture of the Radiohead concert. Life would go on, much as it has this past age, but something would be different.
The Clearing and the Clear View It Lends: A Discussion with Phil Moore of the Bowerbirds
The Clearing, the Bowerbirds third album due out March 6th, 2012 on Dead Oceans, is a grand representation of Phil Moore and Beth Tacular’s outlook on the world, the life they live and the challenges that hail from that pursuit. By now, it should be understood that the Bowerbirds are a band enjoyed by many, especially those...
Chiddy Bang – Handclaps and Guitars
Chiddy Bang is certainly not one of those artists that we feel a mission to bring exposure to. The duo has traveled the now familiar track of internet releases gone viral translating into major label deal. Today was the first I heard of the group on the news of their Virgin Records release, Breakfast, dropping this past...

He’s Nobody’s Dave Matthews – A Review of Mason Jennings’ Performance at Jack Rabbit’s
Mason Jennings is EASILY the most underrated songwriter in the last decade. It may be easy to understand why so many people have passed him over. Early on, he was adopted by the same community of bros and neo-hippies that define the base of the Jack Johnsons, the Dave Matthews, and the OG Bonnaroos—but that is, quite...

Navigateur: Fourth Time in the Sun – Official Video Release
Synesthesia Films has a specific focus on bringing attention to under-appreciated electronic music and art by bolstering the experience with psychedelic visuals. Getting down to brass tax, they make really fantastic music videos. They have a niche and a recognizable ethos that only works to enhance the quality and experience of their already outstanding video...
Punk Goes Mariachi…Surprisingly, Amazingly Well
A thousand Dave Grohls can’t be wrong. In the case of Mariachi El Bronx, one Dave Grohl can’t be wrong. The frontman of the Foo Fighters is apparently a big-time fan of traditional Mexican rhythms with a touch of SoCal punk-rock flair…and you should be too. So, who are these mariachi guys, you ask? To put it briefly, they’re...
Moogfest 2011 Field Report
It’s freezing here. Yesterday, it snowed all morning. Yacht was stuck in Mexico and missed their slot. In spite of this, it’s been strangely enjoyable. Cigarettes are cheap here and there is no shortage of Rainbow Brite Halloween Ravers to ogle. They have no regard for Mother Nature’s wrath. Neither does Mayer Hawthorne. He soldiered on...
