A QUICK TALK WITH YACHT ABOUT … Life, Death and Their Rejected DFA Record, a ‘Playable Copper Album of Mantras’
July 28, 2009
[Photo by Sarah Meadows] Like most ignorant people, we assumed the newly-minted duo incarnation of YACHT would basically be the Blow with a different female singer. What we didn’t expect was an entire ‘YACHT philosophy’ presented alongside drastically-improved songs, three of which–”Summer Song,” “Psychic City (Voodoo City),” and the dancefloor-bound two-part epic “It’s Boring/You Can […]
MICROWAVE ONLY: Turkishomework Invades S/T’s Bandwidth for a New Weekly Photography Column
July 28, 2009
Photos by Turkishomework Eyes wide. We’re pleased to announce a new visual column on self-titled called Microwave Only. Each week we’re featuring the unique vision of NYC nightlife by photographer Turkishomework, whose gritty take on documentary images slings a deceptively hard edge, a thin veil for the soft haziness, candid playfulness and genuine emotion caught […]
1MM: Photographer Victoria Jacob Snaps Suckers at Their Pianos Residency
July 28, 2009
Photos by Victoria Jacob self-titled first heard Suckers from the bathroom line at Glasslands several months back. But even with our bladder threatening to rupture, the Brooklyn group–part of the borough’s new wave–sounded stunning, like Yeasayer on ‘ludes tangling with Alec Ounsworth’s down-home bleat. And perhaps most importantly, marked in face paint as if they’d […]
Gavin Russom Shares the S&M-Inspired Stories Behind His Black Meteoric Star LP
July 27, 2009
If there’s one DFA album we always return to beyond the usual suspects (Hot Chip’s The Warning, LCD Soundsystem’s Sound of Silver), it’s Delia Gonzalez & Gavin Russom‘s first and last full-length, Days of Mars. A trance-inducing cult favorite that generated one of the greatest Carl Craig remixes of all time, it’s what the self-titled […]
PEEP SHOW: Torche Reveal New ‘King Beef’ Track, Boris Split at Music Hall of Williamsburg Show
July 27, 2009
[Photo by Andrew Parks] When we last saw Torche, they were upstaging dredg and throwing us off guard with new tracks. Four months later, we know now the name of the set’s spare, tension-riddled standout: “King Beef.” Ridiculous title aside, it’s the perfect bridge from the concise stoner-pop excursions of the band’s breakthrough record (Meanderthal) […]
SUPPORT THIS: And This Week’s Really-Could-Be-Headlining Opening Act Is … HEALTH
July 27, 2009
Words and Photos by Aaron Richter Los Angeles’ HEALTH perform as if they hate their instruments. Mics get tossed (or simply dropped). Drums get obliterated. Pedals and knobs get abused. And guitars get utterly manhandled. Yet HEALTH performs as if they cannot live without their instruments, like they’re all part of one body, integral pieces […]
S/T Survived … Rabid Black Lips Fans Collapsing the Pit Barricade, Driving Unprepared Williamsburg Waterfront Security Insane
July 26, 2009
Words and Photos by Aaron Richter First things first, Black Lips–known and notorious for their outrageous onstage antics (spitting, peeing, penis waggling and the like)–were pretty much on their best behavior. Maybe a bit docile, removed, sleepy, out of it and, well, not very good at all, musically speaking. But the Atlanta group’s Sunday set […]
MILK MAN: Chunklet’s Henry Owings Explains Why He’s Always Had a Hard-On For Harvey Milk (The Band)
July 24, 2009
While there’s still more than a month left until this summer’s over, we’re gonna go out on a limb and say it won’t get any better than this Sunday’s live music offerings in New York City. Here are three reasons why: Omar S–techno’s newly-anointed ‘bad boy’ and the man responsible for one of our favorite […]
