NEIL HAMBURGER GOES FULL BLOWN POP ON STILL DWELLING

posted September 18th, 2018

In our time of America's greatest dismay, it takes "America's Funnyman" to show the way back to a little bit of love and a whole lot of classic entertainment. With vocal pipes alight and a full studio orchestra behind him, Neil Hamburger is Still Dwelling - and dare we say, better than ever, as he brings new life to some of the greatest songs of his era.

With Still Dwelling, the Hamburger touch is applied to a veritable potpourri of 20th century... (read more)

LONG TRAIN RUNNING FOR EIKO ISHIBASHI

posted September 11th, 2018

Eiko Ishibashi's sixth solo album, The Dream My Bones Dream, rides the rails into a partly envisioned, partly imagined past. It's been four years since Car and Freezer, a time during which Eiko has been steadily working, writing for stage and cinema, playing live, recording and releasing Kouen Kyoudai (Editions Mego), a collaboration with Merzbow; and Ichida, her collaboration with Darin Gray. What a work ethic!

Amongst all this abject jet-setting and debauched gadding about, the music... (read more)

POND SCUM is a collection of recordings made for John Peel’s much-listened-to BBC radio show, at Peel’s request. These are various Palace/Will Oldham/ Bonnie Prince Billy sessions; the lines are blurred. The performances are mostly Oldham solo, with David Heumann singing and playing baritone electric on the songs from one session. Heumann also wrote the liner notes for the POND SCUM record. The cover photos are by Dan Koretzky, and they evoke simply the landscapes from the EASE DOWN THE... (read more)

BITCHIN BAJAS REBAJA THE OBAMA YEARS

posted September 10th, 2018

2009-2016: it was a different time! Today's electronic/drone/ambient household name Bitchin Bajas started humbly as a synthesized solo outlet before morphing into the powerhouse trio made up of Cooper Crain, Dan Quinlivan and Rob Frye that we all know and love! Now, with the 7xCD Rebajas box-set, you can revisit those halcyon days through the collected catalog of a group moving into their early prime, showcasing the progression of sounds and experimentation throughout the years - on yes, CD format! Packaged in a unique... (read more)

SCOUT NIBLETT RISES IN EUROPE

posted September 6th, 2018

The texts, emails and tweets keep coming in, asking, where in the world is Scout Niblett? Finally, we have an answer: she's surfaced at the perfect time to announce a week-long tour of Europe this November (with a festival date in Portugal this coming Saturday)! Scout Niblett's last record, It's Up To Emma, detonated several years ago - yet the fallout remains, leaving a serious Scout void in our lives that needs filling! We'd give anything to be a fly on the... (read more)

WILL OLDHAM UNPLUGGED

posted September 4th, 2018

The songs of Will Oldham have been written most often for the aliases of Palace or Bonny. Their identities, kept necessarily separate from Will's, the songs were written to create a singular encounter, to be shared among those who choose to listen. Songs of Love and Horror is a rare entry in this ouvre: a Will Oldham album, with the writer taking a turn as singer. As befits the nature of this project, the songs are sung and played by Will alone, in a... (read more)

The song "Mindlessness" is a single from SINGER'S GRAVE A SEA OF TONGUES. The B-side, "Blindlessness", was named for the occasion. The song was written and recorded for possible inclusion in a motion picture but was rejected by the filmmaker.  And so, Will Oldham invited filmmaker Kyle Armstrong (for whom he had narrated a short science/art hybrid doc called MAGNETIC RECONNECTION) to Louisville to shoot a short film piece around the song.  In the video, Oldham wears a blindfold.  The blindfold is a...

WAND CALL A TOWN MEETING IN TOWNS AROUND EUROPE!

posted August 30th, 2018

Aside from a pit-stop at Desert Daze Festival in October, Wand's forthcoming European tour is THE most Wand-erful event remaining in 2018! Wand have burned up the road from yon to thither (that's Bulgaria to Hungary, for those of you who don't have a map) for years now, and the results are evident everywhere, especially all over Europe, but ESPECIALLY the UK, where their last tour was completely SOLD OUT!

When Wand make music and tour, they do it for everyone,... (read more)

Strange things were happening in the world of the music business. The music itself was still alive, but the bodies formerly inhabited by that music were being rapidly abandoned. The music maybe was getting big-headed, thinking it could survive without a real host. Regardless, it was getting eerily hostile. Making new music for this environment was a challenge for Will Oldham, who had too much invested in the making of music to just let it run free in this lawless climate. So Oldham continued...
