Dirty Projectors to release EP; fans to wet themselves repeatedly

Looks like another hotly anticipated release for September has been announced, and I don’t know if I can handle all this coolness. On the 28th of that month, Dirty Projectors will release the four song Temecula Sunrise EP. It will include two songs from this year’s Bitte Orca, and two as-of-yet unheard B-sides (“Ascending Melody”… Continue reading Dirty Projectors to release EP; fans to wet themselves repeatedly

Greg Fine makes the mood

Greg Fine’s music first graced my ears in an unassuming manner. From a humble email, which surely indicated a humble background, Fine described his new CD, Always Time, in a succinct manner, explaining which tracks he can still listen to over and over, and the inspiration with which they were written. Nothing more, nothing less.… Continue reading Greg Fine makes the mood

Anything and everything by Antony and the Johnsons is newsworthy

Seriously. Now, although I may have posted about this when it first happened (basically, a little while ago, Antony covered Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love” live and it was gorgeous), I’m posting about it again because I’m all sorts of obsessed with everything from camp Antony.

You may remember Austin’s Balmorhea from a previous post several months ago. But with Smansmith graciously informing us of a remixed All Is Wild, All Is Silent, I thought now would be as good a time as ever to go into just how much I’ve grown to love the non-remixed All Is Wild, All Is… Continue reading Getting back to Balmorhea

To be perfectly honest, I knew… Continue reading Notable Album Release: As Tall As Lions – You Can’t Take It With You

There Will be Fireworks is intense, epic, Scottish

When I first heard of There Will Be Fireworks, they were described to me as “The Twilight Sad meets Explosions in the Sky.” Now that sounds ridiculous, so naturally I was all “yeah right, stupid” and the guy was like “give it a try, you’ll like it” and I was like “stop pressuring me, dick!”… Continue reading There Will be Fireworks is intense, epic, Scottish

[MP3] The Almighty Defenders: “Cone of Light”

We FINALLY get a listen from the Black Lips/King Khan & BBQ Show combo that I’ve been dying for since I learned of their inception. Is it a good listen? Umduh. It’s like if garage rock went gospel but not really. You know? Well, you’ll just have to listen then. It seems a little crowded,… Continue reading [MP3] The Almighty Defenders: “Cone of Light”
