Deerhunter - Microcastle / Weird Era Cont.

Deerhunter’s 2007 release Cryptograms was undeniably great. But it was also very noisy, built upon a foundation of spacey feedback drones and dense guitar textures. 2008 sees a poppier and altogether different Deerhunter, though they retain tangible links to their penchant for ambience and soundscapes. Earlier this year frontman Bradford Cox revealed his poppier side with a release as Atlas Sound. Split into two discs, the Microcastle half of this release seems to follow on from what was established on the Atlas Sound record. Weird Era Continued however is a more natural progression, falling somewhere between the noise of Cryptograms and Atlas Sound’s more melodic slant. The mildly nihilistic tone of Microcastle sees a shimmering instrumental opener give way to Agoraphobia, in which Cox sings plaintively about a desire to be imprisoned. Conversely Weird Era Cont. opens with the rather sleek and Interpol-like Backspace Century before shifting into the very catchy Operation. Instrumentals like "Weird Era" and "Slow Swords" return to the droning soundscapes of Cryptograms but are more engaging. Whether this release is to be interpreted as a double album or two single albums packaged together is ambiguous, though the albums are linked by a sharing of the song "Calvary Scars"; on Microcastle as a brief interlude, and as a powerful ten-minute finale on Weird Era Cont. It does feel a lot like the Bradford Cox Show and Microcastle especially is hard to differentiate from Atlas Sound, but nonetheless Deerhunter have released two consistently excellent albums here. Bow down, peasants: Deerhunter are indie rock royalty.

Bang! Bang! Eche! - s/t ep, The Rapture - Tapes, Pete & the Pirates - Little Death

Lots of fun new released to talk about - and some shows you should check out too!

--------------------------------------------------------

Bang! Bang! Eche! - S/T EP

The music of this five-piece electro-pop-indie-rock band from Christchurch, New Zealand grabbed my attention immediately with their shouty vocals and dance-punk synth stabs. This band is known more for their noise-filled, high energy shows than their recordings, but this 5 song EP, including the hits "4 to the Floor" and "Time Mismanagement", captures their live energy well and opens up the lyrical aspect of their songs, which are clever and seem a lot more mature than the band look – or maybe I’m just getting old (?).For me, BBE sound like a junior version of genre favourites The Rapture, Moving Units and !!! but with a lot more pop.
However, if you want to catch Bang! Bang! Eche! in action and see how crazy they are live, then you are in luck this week if you are in the Jersey/New York area. They are only playing 2 more shows before leaving the country. Heres the deets:

Tuesday, November 11th
BBE showcase @ PIANO's

Thursday, November 13th

Pete & The Pirates - Little Death

First things first: there'll be no 'aarrrs', 'm'lads' or references to wooden legs and scurvy, if you please. Pete & the Pirates may have a nautically-themed moniker, but cheap cliches are the preserve of those with little originality or flair - something that this Reading band are thankfully bristling with. Besides, P&tP deserve better, quite frankly. Why? Well, because they've released one of the best bloody albums you'll hear all year, that's why. Little Death is the quintet's debut full-length release. A 35-minute-long collection of brief, guitar-based indie-punk-poplets, the Gareth Parton (of Go! Team fame) -produced album may sound like your average British indie at first - but go away, clean your ears out, and then come back and revel in the sheer brilliance of this record.

The Rapture - Tapes

When I heard that The Rapture came out with new album Tapes, I was excited to say the least. My excitement soon turned to disappointment when I realized that instead of some new studio material, it was merely a glorified mixed tape. But as I put on my headphones and pressed play, my disappointment quickly turned to joy and I found myself lost in the musical journey that is Tapes.

Starting with the all too brief opener “Earthquake Shake” by 70’s psychedelic soul quintet The Undisputed Truth, The Rapture have compiled a collection of classic grooves and rare gems from the late 70’s to ‘08 and blended them into an 80 minute party-friendly mix of funky house music, disco, electronica and hip hop.

From the funky roller disco grooves of the Bar-Kays "Holy Ghost" to the electro fuelled "Where’s Jason K" by Syclops, and stand out tracks by Ghostface Killah, Armand Van Helden, DJ Mujava, Paul Johnson (anyone remember the late 90’s club hit “Get Get Down”?) and Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangaltar, Tapes has the potential to provide a soundtrack for pre-club drinks on a Friday night or a lazy Sunday afternoon with friends. That said, it works just as well on a quiet night at home with a glass of red wine, a dark room and a pair of headphones.

Crystal Stilts - Alight of Night

Alight of Night is the debut album by Brooklyn’s Crystal Stilts. There has been a huge amount of buzz about Crystal Stilts lately, and it is well-deserved. They have a totally unique sound that blends minimal post-punk (Velvets go to Dunedin by way of Manchester) with a classicist guitar twang and radiant pop appeal that would not sound out of place on an early Mary Chain b-side. Way more than just a sum of cool influences, the Stilts have managed to forge something new and vital from timeless chunks of rock’s primordial source material. Alight of Night is a brilliant album full of mystery, fuzz, croon, twang, throb and oh those tunes. An absolute corker.

Mount Eerie w/ Julie Doiron: Lost Wisdom, Fucked Up: The Chemistry Of Common Life, Dr. Dog: Fate

Hello all. Some fun releases this week/month that i wanna catch up on. 

------------------------------------------------

On his second album It Was Hot, We Stayed in the Water, the Microphones Phil Elverum recorded a cover of Eric’s Trip’s "Sand," paying homage to one of his favorite bands. Eric’s Trip was, by nature, hard to pin down, incorporating harsh, industrial-strength feedback, aggressively lo-fi production and bubblegum pop melodies in a volatile mix of sounds. After the band broke up, bassist Julie Doiron went the solo route, both under her own name and as Broken Girl, often exploring a delicate, acoustic, obliquely confessional aesthetic not too far removed from Elverum’s own. On Lost Wisdom, the two work together for the first time, with Doiron singing 10 Elverum songs.

Elverum wrote all these songs, some specifically for the record and others earlier, and his lyrics have the same pristine, unpremediated grace as the music. "What I find will be found easily / and only when I’m not looking for it," he sings, in close tandem with Doiron in "Oh My Heart." It is a lovely, unfussy, unslaved-over line in an album that is full of them, a testament to being in tune with your muse.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Toronto’s Fucked Up have been heralded by many fans and critics alike as ‘the future of punk rock’. The obvious signs all seem to point in this direction - the lewd name, the confrontational and often shut-down shows and the general mystery surrounding the band all highlight the bands punk aesthetics.
The Chemistry of Common Life, the bands first release on Matador Records, is the bravest and most interesting take on hardcore in years. Rather than following the genres typical rules and tools of beatdowns and stolen Converge riffs, Fucked Up have made an album full of innovation. There are organs and wind instruments alongside guitars and drums, and female singers drifting above vocalist Pink Eyes’ gruff and abrasive tones. This is one of the most inventive punk albums I have heard since Refused came out with A Shape Of Punk To Come.

Fucked Up: The Chemistry of Common Life

Genre: Hardcore/Punk
Label: Matador

This album came out a couple months ago, but i just got the chance to sit down and listen to it this past weekend and all i have to say is......HOLY SHIT. I was seriously missing out on something huge these past couple months! Philadephia's own Dr. Dog is who i am referring to. They recently (august 08) came out with their new album Fate.
The sound is what separates Fate from every other indie-pop album out there. It is like nothing out today, but more of a blast from the past. “The Breeze” is a quaint track, reminiscent of a Beatles track between the vocal harmonies and overall style. Most tracks on Fate contain a fair amount of unique instruments whether it be a horn section, pianos, or woodwinds that encapsulate the albums grandiose production. It makes “Hang On,” which is a combination of older soul tracks and edgy indie-pop, so enjoyable. Conversely, “The Ark” is paced like a war march with a rough western feel, showing the true diversity of Fate. Its all over the page....in a good, great, AMAZING way.

Love is All @ maxwells, Fucked up @ Rogan Store & on Issue Oriented

Hey Kids - Quickie update to mention a few shows to keep you busy this week. 

-----------------------------------------
Tonight @ Maxwells (11th and Washington, hoboken, nj) Swedish band Love Is All is playing! Im very excited.. I've never seen them before and I always wanted to. Click below to download their new album A Hundred Things To Keep Me Up At Night 
In case you didnt know, Love Is All, a quintet formed by members of lesser-known indie group Girlfrendo, add a saxophone to the recognizable voice/keyboard-guitar-bass-drum lineup.  Lead Singer, Josephine Olausson yelps in a shout that has drawn inevitable Karen O comparisons, but it’s higher-pitched/more girly and easily breaks into the band’s signature all-sing-together choruses. You will enjoy it, I promise. And everyone in the tri-state area should try to make it out tonight to see them @ Maxwells!

Love Is All - A Hundred Things 
Genre: Indie, Punk
Label: What's Your Rupture?

----------------------------------------------------

Ok, next i just need to mention to everyone that Toronto hardcore band,  Fucked Up, is playing a free show in nyc @ Rogan Store tomorrow, 10/14, to celebrate the release of The Chemistry of Common Life. And what better way to celebrate then to play for 12 hours straight? No, thats not a typo..... they are playing for 12 hours straight! Special guests will be joining the band on stage to help them through this marathon, including the Vivian Girls, John Joseph, Matt Sweeney, Chain Gang, Mobb Deep, Ryan Sawyer from Tall Firs, Jeff Jensen, David Cross, John Cale, K-Taro, Chris Doherty, E.K., DJ Chris, DJ Anarki, Michael Gira, members of the Australian Scapa Flow, Jeanne Bovet, Gods & Queens, Akon, The Edge, Ben Blackwell, Russell Simins, the Boogie, and some megastars not announced yet. :) So, if you are in the NYC area - or within 12 hours of it - how could you miss this?

Department Of Eagles - In Ear Park, Obfusc - Cities of Cedar, Fleet Foxes s/t

My days have been busy, so i haven't had the time to blog. Had a super long birthday week! 
I have a lot of albums i wanna talk about....

----------------------------------------------------------------

For fans of Grizzly Bear, this is a must have album. Department of Eagles is a band formed by Grizzly Bear's Paul Rossen and his NYU dorm roommate Fred Nicolaus. During their Spring semester, they put together a few songs described as "What DJ Shadow's retarded little brother would sound like"..... cute, right? Nevertheless, a small record company in California picked up the band and "The Whitey on the Moon UK LP" was born (aka The Cold Nose). The band took a hiatus when Rossen joined Grizzly Bear, but they are back with a new album, "In Ear Park". Click album artwork below to hear for yourself! 


Department of Eagles - In Ear Park

Genre: Folktronica!
Label: 4AD

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Next, I just need to write a little ditty about my buddy and old co-worker, Joe Burke. Joe hails from brooklyn and not only is he an amazing writer/photographer/artist, but he also does a kick ass solo musical project called Obfusc. Drawing inspiration from everything that surrounds him -- the chirping of birds, conversations overheard in passing, mass transportation -- Burke submerges field recordings and other found sound amongst layers of sweeping melodic lines and percussive geometry. Today, following three principally electronic releases, Burke continues his focus on producing melodic music amidst a broader array of analog instrumentation and experimentation. All signals meander together through a hand-rendered daydream: unstable one moment, floating the next. 
Check out his music @ the record labels site Boltfish Records and also check out the bands site @ Obfusc.net

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, i have to boast about a new five piece Seattle based band called Fleet Foxes. Fleet Foxes have a sound combining the psych pop of the 60s, gospel and folk music and it is not hard to see that The Beach Boys, Simon and Garfunkel, Love, and Crosy, Stills and Nash are HUGE influences to the quintet.  They just released thier first full lenth, self titled, this summer and the album has been one of the most highly acclaimed records of the year; getting overwhelming positive reviews from Pitchfork, Mojo, and Rolling Stone. They just played Grand Ballroom this past Saturday - I hope one of you were lucky enough to see them! 
If you know whats good for you - download this album!

An Albatross rocks Brooklyn, Noah and the Whale - Peaceful the World Lies Me Down, Red House Painters

So tomorrow is my birthday - and i have nothing planned. I have to get up super early on Saturday morning for my best friends baby shower. And being the overly ambitious person i am, i decided to do this insane present that requires hours of work and creativity. Not my smartest idea. So, while I'm putting together this ridiculous present, i will be missing my dear friends band An Albatross melt faces at Death by Audio in Brooklyn. This will be the third time in my life that i will miss them play. Ever. For real. Their new album coming out soon called The An Albatross Family Album is seriously unlike anything you have EVER heard from this band. Maybe from any band. And it definitely lives up to its name; it includes every member of the band, and past members, making it truely a "family album". It will be released October 21st and I will definitely be the first in line to buy it. Do yourself a favor and check them out tomorrow night, Sept 26th in Brooklyn w/ Pwrfl Power, Grampall Jookabox, and Pleaseeasaur.

Death By Audio
49 S. 2nd Street
Brooklyn

You can hear new tracks off their new album on their myspace: HERE
You wont be dissapointed!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New folk rock band, Noah and the Whale, have released their first album, Peaceful the World Lies Me Down this past month. It has been receiving great reviews, and there will be no change here... i LOVE this album. Its sort of a Belle and Sebastian meets the Little Ones sound, in other words, they write depressing songs that ironically put a smile on your face. Despite tales of awkward and isolated love, the melodies are instantly uplifting and reassuring.Peaceful the World Lies Me Down boasts a ukulele, hand-claps, trembling violin strings, romantic folk tales, whistling, and, of course, cowbell.  Its a must to have this album. I highly recommend!! Click on album artwork to download! (megaupload)

Noah and the Whale - Peaceful the World Lies Me Down


Genre: Anti-folk

Everytime i listen to this album by the Red House Painters, it makes me think about a time in my life that was so easy. I remember seeing them when this album came out in Boston with an ex of mine (who i am still on good terms with) and when Grace Cathedral Park plays, all i can think about is that day. Its one of those albums you can jam pack your memories into. Its also a terrific seasonal album, perfect for long drives in the fall.

Manuel Dominguez Jr. & Kaitlin Mosley - Photo Show

Manuel Domiguez Jr (who i call Manny - im sure everyone else does too) is a photographer from Philadelphia. I met him while living in New Brunswick, and we bothed lived in Philly around the same time, but since I moved back into the New York area 4 years ago, i havent really seen or talked to him in a while. But today, I stumbled onto his Flickr page that i havent been to in some time - and i am just COMPLETELY blown away with how raw and personal his pictures are. His portraits are often serious and saturated. But in recent candids, muted colors give his photos a dreary, meloncholic look.
Sadly, i do not know much about Kaitlin Mosely, but she is his partner in crime for an upcoming show you MUST check out in Philly Oct 3rd (first friday) thru Oct 30th. See flyer below....

Tv On The Radio's "Dear Science", Cold War Kids & Nation of Ulysses

Yesterdays big release was Tv on the Radio's third studio album release of Dear Science. In my opinion, this is, without a doubt, one of the best albums to come out this year - maybe even in recent years - and far surpasses the mind blowing Return to Cookie Mountain release in 2006. Now this is just my opinion - a lot of people disagreed with me last night when I presented this argument after listening to it. Click below on album artwork to download full album. You can catch Tv on the Radio performing "Dancing Choose" on Letterman (cbs) friday night, Sept. 26th @ 11pm est. Also, they are playing 3 nights in a row @ the Masonic Temple in their hometown of Brooklyn Oct 14-16 - and if you have tickets to any of these sold out shows, I'm extremely jealous!

Tv on the Radio - Dear Science
 

Genre: Post-Punk (kind of?) how do you even put them in a genre

Another release yesterday was the second full length album by the Cold War Kids, Loyalty to Loyalty. Im not going to lie, I was not the biggest Cold War Kids fan after their first album Robbers & Cowards. But this album improved my opinion.... slightly. Still not a huge fan, but kids seem to really enjoy them. I just cant get in on that bluesy rock stuff. But, if you can, click on the album art below! You can catch Cold War Kids in Manhattan @ Webster Hall 10/15 and in Brooklyn @ Williamsburg Music Hall 10/16 (which i think is sold out, but craigslist that shit if you need em').

Your nostalgic download for the day is Nation of Ulysses,  13 point program to destroy america. A friend (who was way too old to be my friend) in my hometown in new brunswick, nj introduced me to this band when i was 14 years old, a sophomore in high school. I used to hang around new brunswick with all the "cool" older punk kids. They were like gods to me, and anything they listened to, i considered the fruit of life. When i first heard the noisy and manic sound of Nation of Ulysses my musical taste completely shifted, and my attitude as a whole. They used a sort of "free jazz" influence, they rejected drugs, alcohol and the like, they dressed in suits... SUITS! This was a far cry from the concept i got from listening to the sex pistols and punk bands like them from my punk start a few years prior. And i totally ate that up in a BIG way. I had the pleasure of meeting one of my idols, lead singer, Ian Svenonius, just last week at a friends wedding. He was sitting right next to me, and i seriously almost peed my pants while talking to him. He is just as weird and crazy as i thought and hoped he would be. I seriously have been idolizing that dude since an issue Sassy magazine named him one the Sassiest Men in America. I went thru a really embarrassing phase of my life where i needed the biggest hair ever, and i wore skinny ties with tshirts. Yikes.

Sadly, Ulysses broke up in 1992 and went on to form The Make Up and Cupid Car Club, which was short lived but were just as influential to me. Ian Svenonius us now in a band called Weird War, which released its last album, Illuminated By Light (DragCity Recs) in 2005.

Ramona Cordova - The boy who floated freely

Ramona Cordova is a one man band out of Philadelphia - that one man being Ramón Vicente Alarcón... one of the most interesting and hilarious people i have ever met. Ramón has been traveling the world since 2005 to spread the word of his first full length album. The Boy Who Floated Freely is a captivating concept album devoted to the story of a boy named Giver. It is an eleven track escape into a story enchanted by chirping crickets, gypsies, romance and mystery. You will get lost in Ramón's choppy guitar playing and fine falsetto. Read all of Giver's story & Download the full album and artwork for free courtesy of Ramón himself @ MyFriendRamon.com and drop him a donation too!

New Mogwai (LP & EP), Law & Order SVU, My Bloody Valentine & So long to the Ergs

So, a few of my friends went to All Tomorrows Parties last weekend and I got to hear from everyone what an amazing time I missed. In case you have been living under a rock, All Tomorrows Parties was a 3 day festival in the Catskills with a line up that looked like this:

Thurston Moore
Built to Spill
Low
Mogwai
My Bloody Valentine
Shellac
Les Savvy Fav
Lightning Bolt

just to name a few....
sick right?

Totally bummed i didnt get to go. Anyone else go that wants to comment and rub it in my face? Feel free!

I do have a little treat for ya'll though. Mogwai's new album "The Hawk is Howling" and their new EP "Bat Cat".
"The Hawk.." was released yesterday making this their 6th studio album release. Actually just got done listening to it for the first time and i give it full marks!
Click album art below for full megaupload download of their new album + new EP "Bat Cat" included.

On a sad note, Mogwai had to cancel the rest of their US tour after ATP this weekend after drummer Martin Bulloch had pacemaker problems after their set on Sunday. Hope everything is ok there and they can continue touring Europe this fall.

On TV Tonight

"In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories."

On tv tonight, I all implore you to check out the premier of Law and Order SVU Season 10 on NBC. I LOVE this show. Im so excited for it. I feel like I've been waiting forever for my fix of Benson and Stabler solving sex crimes.

Watch season 9 on hulu.com for free.

Nostalgia Album of the Day

My Bloody Valentine not only played All Tomorrows Parties last weekend , but also played Roseland last night and tonight in NYC. "Loveless" is absolutely one of my favorite albums of all time and by far one of the most influential albums of the 90's. If you dont have this album yet, i seriously suggest you click on the link below! I also included a link to their first full length album "Isnt Anything", released in 1988, which i also HIGHLY recommend. (rapidshare)

Final Note

New Jersey Pop Punk band The Ergs are calling it a day and are about to release their final album, "Thats it.....Bye". I grew up listening to "the near sighted three" and I am sad to see them go! They also announced their last show(s) ever at Asbury Lanes (Asbury Park, NJ) November 14th (for all the kids) & November 15th (21+).

Nostalgia for the Day - Jawbreaker "Dear You"

This album STILL gets me thru the day and ive been listening to it for almost 10 years. This is an album you wont get sick of, trust me. Some consider this Jawbreakers "sell out" album - but its still my favorite. By far. Too bad they broke up almost immediately after its release in 1996. (click below on album cover for megaupload download)

first track - Blank Dogs

This weekend was extremely uninteresting.
Carlo and i had movie nights - every night.
a John Hughes night consisting of both National Lampoons Vacation & European Vacation and Some Kind of Wonderful.
Then, a night of movies revolving around Las Vegas, "21" and the first and third Oceans movies.
Back at work and drawing flower prints for quilts. Hoorah.

Blank Dogs



A co-worker told me about this band and I immediately went to Download it after he explained it to me. Total buzz melody, like if The Cure was actually Sonic Youth. Also, this band apparently doesn't even exist, how confusing. They dont play shows. People dont really know who is in the band. That all changed this past weekend in Manhattan, however, when Blank Dogs played their first show EVER and totaly blew everyone away. Jump on this shit...
