1MM: A View From the Stage as Yeasayer Debuts New Material at Pier 54
August 18, 2009
Photos by Victoria Jacob Yeasayer is easy to root for. (And not just because we put ’em on for CMJ with MGMT two years ago.) The guys had been holed up in a Woodstock studio to finish their follow-up to 2007’s All Hour Cymbals. (And according to their manager’s blog, they’re in the mixing stages.) But […]
1MM: School of Seven Bells Close South Street Seaport Season With Shimmering Spectral Pop Set
August 18, 2009
Photos by Andrew Parks As you might imagine, self-titled doesn’t condone drug use. However, if you choose to dabble in anything emotion-enhancing, be sure to save School of Seven Bells‘ 11-minute ambient pop epic “Sempiternal/Amaranth” for the second you start peaking.

MICROWAVE ONLY: Wrecking Ears With J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. and the Light Between Hamilton Leithauser’s Legs
August 17, 2009
Photos by Turkishomework “Bring your earplugs,” we warned. But consider the advice disregarded. “Even from behind the stage, the sound was undeniable,” says Turkishomework, the NYC photographer who, each week for self-titled, turns a captivating lens on the city’s stages and rabid music fans. “I kept looking around me to make sure I wasn’t standing right […]

August 17, 2009
Get the flash player here: http://www.adobe.com/flashplayer Words and Photos by Andrew Parks A simple question to set things off: When did Animal Collective become indie rock’s greatest cockteases? No, really; we’ve seen them at least 10 times since the fall of 2004–a truly bizarre appearance at a semi-legal art space in Philly–and still couldn’t believe […]
PRIMER: Dam-Funk’s Top 5 Essential Funk LPs
August 14, 2009
[Photo by Matthew Scott] Sad but true: self-titled doesn’t know the first thing about funk music. And yet here we are, bumping the first two volumes of Dam-Funk‘s Toeachizown series like we live in LA and own a low-rider instead of a rusty, wobbly Schwinn. Maybe it’s the fact that Cali’s undisputed “Ambassador of Boogie […]

Words and Photos by Andrew Parks The Artist: A Do Make Say Think side project that shreds. Their Latest Release: Threats/Worship (out September 1 through Vice) Who They Opened For: Children @ Glasslands, 8.13.09 Why the Bill Should Have Been the Other Way Around:
LISTENING STATION: Canyons Share Their Prized Singles, Get Ready to Rock the DFA/People Don’t Dance No More Boat Party
August 13, 2009
Photos by Turkishomework While they’re closely aligned with the neo-disco scene (see their new DFA single and coveted spots on Milky Disco 2 and Cosmo Vitelli’s excellent Moments of Crisis comp), Canyons bring much more to the turntable than 4/4 beats and glitter-encrusted basslines. We’re talking everything from well-oiled electro funk to slightly-twisted traces of […]
