VINYL FORMAT. The Blow's songs are light enough to sail easily through the air, landing simultaneously on the turntable of a London DJ, in your mom's car stereo, and in the iPod of a middle schooler in study hall. However, they're somehow heavy enough to stick around, laying in your mind long after their new album is over. No-wave and glitch-hop, club anthems, and doo-wop all party together in the architecture created by The Blow's sound.[ read more ]

Khaela Maricich is the Blow, also known to some as Get the Hell out of the Way of the Volcano, also a member of the Dub Narcotic studio gang. Her last album was "The Bonus Album," which was recorded in a cave; it made a simple case for living. Now we have the more complex examination of the human condition post-American century style. Yes, "The Concussive Caress" is an affirmation, but only after trial by fire. A bold move was made, evolutionarily, out of the cave and over to the Dub Narcotic 16-track tape    [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Khaela Maricich--after spending the past several years lovingly crafting pop songs of naive complexity under the assumed names The Blow (K Records) and Get The Hell Out of the Way of the Volcano-- has joined forces with States Rights Records recording artist Jona Bechtolt (Y.A.C.H.T, The Badger King) to craft her most realized work to date--Poor Aim: Love Songs.

The Blow is a band comprised of Khaela Maricich. Formerly known as Get the Hell Out of the Way of the Volcano, The Blow has toured around the country and the Northwest, playing shows of stories and songs made up beforehand as well as right there on the spot. "Bonus Album" is a collection of songs that are outside the context of the Blow's more theme-based, operatic live pieces. These songs have a playground feel: some are made-up for entertaining oneself while leaning against the chain link at the far edge    [ read more ]

The Blow  The Concussive Caress..., Mirah  You Think It's Like This But Really It's Like This, Scout Niblett  Sweet Heart Fever

Resilient electro-pop music. The songs are catchy as hell and rise to meet all the duo's snobby music standards. With sing-along-when-you-think-you're-alone types of refrains, it's as if the oldies station on the car stereo is playing at the same time as the urban party music station, with the occasional interfering sonic sway of an '80s keyboard refrain. It's the sound of feeling fun and desperate and bravely romantically unsuccessful all at once. Easy listening for difficult feelings.[ read more ]

Ever since Khaela Maricich teamed up with Jona Bechtolt for the Poor Aim: Love Songs EP, the Blow's avant-pop leanings have been refined with more structure, more rhythm, and more hooks, resulting in a sound that, interestingly, is more forward-thinking than the group's more concentratedly experimental early work. Paper Television goes even further in this direction, marrying Maricich's charismatic vocals with beats and arrangements inspired by mainstream and urban pop. This bold    [ read more ]
