Eluvium On… Warped Memories, His Book Addiction and the Bearable Lightness of Being
March 12, 2010
Recording Under the Influence is a recurring self-titled feature where we ask artists to ignore their musical inspirations for a minute and share what really went into the making of a particular record. Eluvium’s always been one of our favorite ambient artists, so we were as surprised as anyone to hear Matthew Cooper actually sing […]
COVER FLOW: In Case You’re Wondering, the Crude Oil On Zola Jesus’ Face Is Chocolate Syrup
March 11, 2010
[Photo by Indra Dunis] As much as we dug the dirt-encrusted mood music of Zola Jesus‘ breakthrough LP, The Spoils (Sacred Bones, 2009), Nika Roza Danilova’s new EP is something else–a flirtation with full-on pop songs, buoyed by dark ambient samples and skeletal beats that sound like they’re knocking your door down rather than being […]
FREE ASSOCIATION: The Morning Benders Take Us on a Track-By-Track Tour of ‘Big Echo’
March 11, 2010
By Arye Dworken As we quickly discover over fish tacos and bowls of bibimbap at Dokebi in Brooklyn, Chris Chu is an “old soul†right down to the way the Morning Benders frontman name-checks Phil Spector, Alex Chilton, Brian WIlson and the Beatles as his main influences. In one of our more revealing Free Association […]
MICROWAVE ONLY: Things Are About To Get Dark, Aren’t They?
March 11, 2010
Photos by Turkishomework Each week we send Turkishomework out to capture a sliver of our city’s blurred-vision nightlife. She nearly lost herself last Friday, though, as two hometown coldwave heroes–Xeno & Oaklander and Led Er Est–served up heat-seeking synth lines and moonlit melodies at Cameo Gallery in Brooklyn. We’ll have an exclusive Needle Exchange mix […]
TEST PRESSING: Listen to a Premiere of Fol Chen’s Liars Remix While Reading Our In-Depth Cover Story About the Sordid Roots of ‘Sisterworld’
March 9, 2010
[Photo by Alexander Wagner] He’s baaaaaack. And by he, we mean J. Bennett–the rather wild and crazy guy who earned a spot in last year’s Best Music Writing book for his extensive self-titled profile on Jay Reatard. We pay our respects to Reatard in the final pages of our new issue, which debuts today along […]
MOVIES FOR THE BLIND: Cage Files His First Film Column From the Frontlines of the Oscars
March 8, 2010
By Chris Palko Hello everyone. It gives me extreme pleasure to report back from the Oscars that aired last night. I was afraid I was going to miss it because of the whole Cablevision scandal with ABC. It’s a good thing I’m a slave to Time Warner Cable because what would I have done? Download […]
PRIMER: Harvey Milk Tear Their Own Discography Apart
March 8, 2010
Since Henry Owings already told us why Harvey Milk rules, we figured we’d open the floor to drummer Kyle Spence and bassist/kick-ass cook Stephen Tanner. In the following post, they give us a brutally-honest beginner’s guide to their entire discography, from the rubber-burning ZZ Top nods of The Pleaser to their “most pretentious” LP yet, […]
PEEP SHOW: Watch a Couple of Live Mercury Lounge Collaborations Between Washed Out and Small Black
March 8, 2010
Words and Photos by Andrew Parks The last time Washed Out was in town, he split a hype-raking headlining set into two distinct sections: a sideman-backed series of night light ballads and a cruise control attempt at channeling discos from decades past. The latter was way more effective, as it got right to the root […]
