Here Bret, Heather, and Calvin explore the more sinister aspects of life, with an eye towards the relief that can be found in its simpler pleasures. ?Melancholy? is a word that has been used to describe this approach, though Black Candy does include many opti   [ read more ]

The fifth Beat Happening studio album, "You Turn Me On," was produced by Steve Fisk and Stuart Moxham. Mr. Moxham had been a member of the Young Marble Giants, an important early influence on the band. "You Turn Me On" finds the band experimenting with various arrangements and musical ideas; several of the songs have two, rather than the usual one, guitarists playing interwoven parts, and many of the songs break out of the band's standard three-minute song format, some extending into the six to nine minute    [ read more ]

Beat Happening's self-titled 1985 debut had such a drastic affect and influence on the independent music scene it's difficult to imaging its far-reaching scope. Built on the punk ideals of D.I.Y. and political awareness, Beat Happening virtually invented the indie aesthetic seen everywhere today, bringing with it a philosophy and alternate-economy (with the founding of K records). Still as polarizing now as when it was released, you'll either love or hate this album, viewing Beat Happening as a bunch of t   [ read more ]

"Dreamy" is the fourth Beat Happening studio album, considered by many to be their finest achievement. From the epic "Revolution Come and Gone" to the country-tinged "Cry for a Shadow," there is a plethora of styles and forms and feelings on "Dreamy." Combining state-of-the-art studio technique with down-home captured in the moment, "Dreamy" is a delicate balance between "real" 24-track studio recordings, and documents made while our quiet three are ensconced in Steve Fisk's home four-track lodging (a photo   [ read more ]
