Fresh off their exclusive afternoon session for XLR8R, Nite Jewel and Dam-Funk have headed into a proper studio to wrap a ‘Nite Funk’ record for Stones Throw. We tracked the latter down the other day and while he can only confirm an EP for now, Dam says an actual album may be on the way […]
FROM THE STACKS: Fear of Tigers
January 7, 2010
We get a lot of crap CDs at the self-titled offices. But once in a while, a pleasant surprise slips into our promo stack the Internet. Here’s a recent delivery that knocked the S/T staff on its collective ass.
HYPE CHECK: Salem Slurs Their Way Through a Sluggish Set At Glasslands, Leaves Us Feeling Kinda Creeped Out

TEST PRESSING: Download ‘Colouring of Pigeons’, a New Track From The Knife’s Darwin Opera With Mt. Sims and Planningtorock
January 6, 2010
Remember Mt. Sims, the electro-clash survivor/International DeeJay Gigolos alum responsible for the rather ridiculous UltraSex LP? If you do, then you’re probably as surprised as we are to hear about the guy’s involvement in the Knife‘s Tomorrow, In a Year opera. That’d be the Hotel Pro Forma commission based on Charles Darwin’s On the Origin […]
TEST PRESSING: Download a ‘Mezzanine’-Era Bootleg From Massive Attack and a Classic BBC Essential Mix From Portishead
January 5, 2010
As psyched as we are about Massive Attack‘s new album, an advance stream of the thing is currently sitting unscathed in self-titled‘s inbox. That’s because we’re terrified it won’t even scrape the career-revitalizing peaks of Portishead‘s own long-awaited return LP, Third. Whatever the case may be, 1998 was Massive Attack at the peak of their […]

As you may or may not have heard, Growing’s core drone-on duo, bassist Kevin Doria and guitarist Joe Denardo, brought Sadie Laska (see also: the […]
Woods, Real Estate Schedule Spring Tour Around South By Southwest
January 4, 2010
The last time we saw Woods, they were wailing away in front of a crowd that couldn’t hear a damn thing they were saying/playing. Hence why we’re glad to hear they’ll be playing a proper venue in March, as the Brooklyn band kicks off a two-week tour with Real Estate at the Music Hall of […]
LISTENING STATION: Digging Through Gatekeeper’s Record Crate
January 4, 2010
When Michael Mayer and Kompakt’s label manager, Jon Berry, announced the launch of a “slasher disco” label, we were psyched but skeptical. After all, we love Goblin and the godfather of Gothic synthscapes (John Carpenter) as much as the next guy, but an entire label based around that concept? Kinda strange, right? Well, yeah. And […]
