Just as there are albums that artists were born to make, there are albums that labels were born to release. Waiting for the Sunrise is one of those albums for both David Vandervelde and Secretly Canadian. Upon first laying the needle down, the listener is greeted by a warm wash of sounds that seems to breeze in from decades back. Vandervelde's singular voice emerges from the drums and keys with 'When the morning comes, I will be fine, I will be fine, I will be fine' and you're pretty damn sure he wil   [ read more ]

Thee Hounds of Foggy Notion is a brilliant live performance collaboration between Thee Oh Sees and Director Brian Lee Hughes. The project resulted in a dual disc DVD/CD featuring live performances filmed and recorded not on stages, but at a variety of haunting scenic sites in and around San Francisco. The film is also studded with dozens of stories and whatnots filmed during their 4 day adventure.

'Jona Bechtolt makes his way over to DFA for three tracks, all of which find him tailoring his endearing electronic pop squiggles into a far more serious sounding James Murphy-friendly setup, complete with robust live kit sounds, disco drum patterns and tough no-wave basslines. Both 'Summer Song' and 'I'm In Love With A Ripper' sound like perfect DFA fodder, with their slouchy rhythms and slick organic styling, but 'It's Boring/You Can Live Anywhere You Want' is a little more connected to indiedom - at leas   [ read more ]

The tragic virtue of folk music is its earnestness. That is, while honesty and openness are clearly good things in many contexts, too many songs about the need to save the rainforests or spreading your love around can quickly wear on the nerves. Raleigh's Bowerbirds, a couple plus a friend who have just put out their debut album, manage to keep the virtue without any tragedy. An accordion, a big thumpy bass drum (marching band-style), some pretty guitar that echoes into the far reaches of what sounds like a   [ read more ]

Don't call it a comeback. Bridge Out!, the first release in almost a decade by the duo of saxophonist Paul Flaherty and percussionist Randall Colbourne, is better thought of as a renewal, a reawakening of a collaboration which has lain dormant for too long. Joining forces in the late 1980s, these two New Englanders released over a dozen uncompromising and outlaw styled albums of avant garde jazz on their own and other labels that have since vanished into legend. Since then, Flaherty has expanded acro   [ read more ]

Originally released in 1997 and having sat in storage unit purgatory (growing finer) for the greater part of a decade, Jagjaguwar proudly unearths and re-distributes this visceral British take on American outdoor spirituality. 'VEIL (For Greg) is a carousel ride inside a digital rock tumbler, a battle between gnomes and mercury termites for a maple tree's soul, and the reflection of a pile of Moog turtles in a bathroom mirror's swamp sweat. Throbbing Gristle reimagined as zen garden desk accessory.'    [ read more ]

Live, their music is total spastic bliss. A complete sugar high freak out. Smiles all around - like Christmas morning, riding roller coasters, triple dips. But it's not easy to emulate the spirit and energy of the Baltimore foursome's live show on CD. Yet the outcome of this, their second release, truly embodies the spirit of the band's live gigs. Complex yet pop, raw yet refined, heavy yet sweet, Ice Cream Spiritua' needs to be blasted while standing.

The War on Drugs push the boundaries of a quintessentially American music. Guitars soar and colorful clouds roll past whatever sun or moon you are cruising under, through whatever old bar you are reveling within. The War On Drugs point toward a tireless horizon in the distance that you will never reach but are compelled to chase. It's a tail you've chased your whole life and will continue chasing because your life is more poetic when you are moving toward it - your cinematography is more rich. Wagonwheel   [ read more ]

"This is the latest single from everyone's favourite makebelieve Victorian, Daedelus. Of course being a single we don't just have the fabulous track itself, but we're blessed with a trio of remixes, coming from XXXchange, Moonstar and the hotly tipped Samiyam. The XXXchange mix is predictably high quality moving into throbbing electro-house territory but the real shocker here is the incredible version from Hyperdub signing Samiyam.

A 67-minute masterwork, a wonder of songwriting and alchemical engineering, certain to overtake last year's acclaimed 'It Was Hot, We Stayed in the Water' and earn Microphones the undisputed title of experimental pop's Most Valuable Player. Phil Elvrum, the man behind the Microphones' mask, continues to inspire with this genre-imploding album. This album is the complete package: impeccable songwriting laden with hooks, a widely varied palette of instrumentation, potent lyrical paintings, and interspersed is   [ read more ]

While the first, Second Guessing, established Oakley Hall as one of the premier roots rock bands in the land, Gypsum Strings turns the volume way up and the traditions on their heads.
