NOW PLAYING: Nicolas Jaar, ‘Space Is Only Noise’
March 22, 2011
The Artist/Album: Nicolas Jaar, Space Is Only Noise (Circus Company, 2011) A Short Review: Like Matthew Dear‘s last couple LPs, Nicolas Jaar’s buzz-stirring debut isn’t a dance album, per se. Come to think of it, we’re not sure what it’s trying to achieve. And that’s exactly why it’s one of the year’s first truly promising […]

March 21, 2011
Via XXXchange‘s Soundcloud: I was listening to some other dj mixes yesterday and just thinking about how fucking DOPE this one was(!) so I figured I’d post it up for download so everybody who hasn’t heard it can check it out ……and also just to get you guys pumped about our new mix CD / […]
COMING SOON: Murcof, ‘La Sangre Iluminada’
March 21, 2011
The Artist/Album: Murcof, La Sangre Iluminada (InFine, April 11th) The Details: Mexico’s leading sound sculptor takes a scalpel to the film score he quietly released through Intolerancia Records in 2009. Now re-edited/mastered for a limited LP pressing through France’s InFine imprint, it pairs Murcof’s sinister soundscapes with the creepy neo-classical flourishes of pianist Vanessa Wagner […]
Sleep Extend Reunion Run With Summer Dates
March 21, 2011
Here’s what we said about Sleep‘s reunion run last fall: “More than a simple cash-grabbing reunion gig, the staggering two-hour set felt like the rebirth of a band that ought to be personally thanked (or blamed, depending on your perspective) for post-Sabbath acts like the Sword, Witchcraft, and most of Tee Pee’s current roster.” If […]
RECORDING UNDER THE INFLUENCE: Agalloch
March 21, 2011
Recording Under the Influence is a recurring self-titled feature where we ask artists to ignore their most obvious musical inspirations for a minute and share what really went into the making of a particular record. Since Agalloch is one of the country’s most compelling but reclusive metal bands, we didn’t expect to hear much back […]
DOWNLOAD THIS NOW: Clare Maguire, “The Last Dance (Teengirl Fantasy Extended Club Mix)”
March 21, 2011
Clare Maguire is the latest “raw and real” singer to lose her edge somewhere between money-hungry meetings with Rick Rubin and Jay-Z and a major label debut (Light After Dark, in this case) that drowns whatever promise she once had in the high gloss production values of a “hitmaker” who’s worked with Britney, Kylie, and, […]
NOW PLAYING: Brian Eno, ‘Discreet Music’
March 20, 2011
The Artist/Album: Brian Eno, Discreet Music (EG, 1975) A Short Review: As Baroque as we wanna be on a frostbitten Sunday night. Meaning: one side-long meditation on “furniture music” (the title track, which could pass as an infinitely looped Boards of Canada interlude), followed by three sweeping variations on the same Johann Pachelbel composition. Discreet […]
