PRIMER: Tim Hecker
Photos by Tom Winchester Devastating. There’s really no other way of describing Tim Hecker‘s dense discography and the emo-esque effect it’s always had on us. This despite his seemingly limited palette of pulses and ripples, clicks and cuts. Knowing full well that there’s much more to his music than presets and IDM patches (see also […]
HYPE CHECK: Crocodiles Push Play for “Unplugged” Performance at Bowery Ballroom
Words and Photos by Aaron Richter Album: Summer of Hate (Fat Possum) What’s Been Said: “The duo is one of our favorite new bands because they write super songs, not because I’m obsessed with Darklands: It’s one thing to own a good set of influences, another thing entirely turning them into a kick-ass collection like Summer Of […]
INSIDE ST003: The Making of ‘Wild Combination: A Portrait of Arthur Russell’
By Andrew Parks There’s a moment halfway through Wild Combination when you realize what a daunting project this Arthur Russell documentary must have been.

First up: his ‘man on the street’ portraits of fans at the fest. And to-be-posted soon after that: casual and live […]
I WAS THERE: Gui Boratto and Ellen Allien Celebrate Bpitch Control’s 10th Anniversary At Studio B
[Photos by Gabi Aguilar] Text by Vicki Siolos Bpitch Control‘s been around for 10 years? Already? Indeed. Just ask label owner Ellen Allien, a world-renowned producer/DJ that also happens to be a dominating force in dance music’s big boys club, from her rock-solid roster to a clothing line that’s as minimal as her techno tunes.

1MM: Primal Scream Leave Our Ears Scarred At Amp-Singeing Music Hall of Williamsburg Show
[Text/Photos by Andrew Parks; slideshow here] Considering the band’s name and history of collaborating with Kevin Shields, as well as frontman Bobby Gillespie‘s brief tenure in the Jesus and Mary Chain (he was the drummer on Psychocandy, but still), we probably should have expected to have our ears blown by Primal Scream on Sunday night. Doubly […]
