PUT YOUR $INGLE$ DOWN A SECOND TIME FOR TY SEGALL

posted November 4th, 2014

You thought Manipulator was the money album of the year? Think...AGAIN! 2014 ain’t done yet, and $ingle$ 2 is here. And this time, it’s for the money. Two times! $ingle$ 2 sweeps out the ashes of the breakneck days (and nights!!!!) of 2011–2013, and burns down the house all over again in the process.

$ingle$ 2 slinks low and flat-out sprints behind the scenes of the Goodbye BreadTwinsSleeper trilogy (no it isn’t!), collecting all the now-out-of-print sides that totally... (read more)

6OOA NEWS BULLETIN! SIX ORGANS TO RELEASE HEXADIC

posted November 4th, 2014

Ben Chasny's restless intellect has regularly guided the progress of his creation. A lyrical mastery of acoustic finger-picking would be enough to build a body of work for most musicians; this is just the stepping-off point for Ben. From the earliest days of private-press psych home recordings, Six Organs of Admittance has sought out alternative spaces in which to make music and challenge audiences to keep up with his rapid advances into new terrain. Over the last two years, Ben assembled a comprehensive... (read more)

LAETITA SADIER SHINES HER LIGHT ON EUROPE!

posted November 3rd, 2014

Since its September release, Laetitia Sadier's Something Shines has illuminated listeners worldwide with bright sounding, pop sonics: songs of love, life, class and socio-economic issues melding and fusing like hot metallics in an otherwise concrete world. Who says music can't tear down a wall or two, like it does in "Release From The Centre of Your Heart?" Certainly not Laetitia, who brings her guitar, her band, and her unrivaled voice and presence to stages all across Europe next month. Ah, the music stage... (read more)

THEY HAD THE WHOLE EARTH IN THEIR HANDS

posted October 31st, 2014

The early 1970s was a good time to be The Source Family. They were all together in one big house in LA, they had their restaurant, and best of all they had their Father! But they also had a comet to inspire them and the ever-expanding universe of the spirit to meditate upon and be one with. This was, like, THE TIME for gettting together in a  big group and doing such meditations - the Source Family were grooving on a vibrational plane... (read more)

A WALNUT FALCON YOU GOTTA SEE TO BELIEVE

posted October 24th, 2014

Ahhh, the 90s - Clinton, Jordan, Berman...  the days of Twin Peaks and Surge soda, of flannel shirts and irony somehow look quite comforting in the rearview mirror! Yep, the ‘90s gave birth to the legendary Silver Jews, whose star only glistens brighter each time we check in with them. What happens to the Silver Jews in the future? We have no way of knowing. But they're so heavily ingrained in our collective conscience, it's as though David Berman is lurking upstairs, right... (read more)

DOPE BODY UNLEASH FIRST VIDEO FROM LIFER: HERE COMES "REPO MAN!"

posted October 22nd, 2014

Have you forgotten so soon? It was summer in America. The music was hot and rays were long. The air was alive with the sound of bitter discontent. It lies below the surface of everything we do in this cursed nation - but we'll stay here or die fighting! Now as winter threatens to ice us over, Dope Body is bringing back the heat with the first video from their droppin'-now third album, Lifer. Simmering and smoldering before the invariable - and actually, super-dope... (read more)

UNWIND WITH JESSICA PRATT, FRESH NEW ALBUM SET FOR JANUARY 2015

posted October 21st, 2014

Jessica Pratt's self-titled 2012 debut has been much-murmured about in the time between yesterday and today. People respond to the austere, pristine clarity of the performances, the gentle strength, marvel at how much comes from so little: just a voice and a guitar or two! They speculate on just who is the personality behind this Jessica Pratt? It is hard not to respond to the sound of her music, to not want more right away. Now, two years on, Jessica's very new...
