Dark and sweeping, Garland of Bottle Flies takes 13Ghosts to places they've never been. I've been listening to Garland of Bottle Flies for about a year now, since it started floating around with the unofficial, but succinct, name of Bummer. After all that time, it still reveals new pieces of itself. Alabama's 13Ghosts have long been known for a unique brand of dark, atmospheric rock 'n' roll, but Bottle Flies easily stands as its most unified vision yet. It's hard not to think of the album in visual terms,...
Longtime figures in the Alabama music scene, 13ghosts return from a hiatus and re-grouping with their eighth album, Liar's Melody . Covering the mysterious and sinister southern rock realm as well as sweet and folky roots music, this album truly delivers. Opener "Water, Rise" builds upon a gritty blues riff and ushers the listener into 13ghosts' southern narrative, made relatable and intriguing by front man Brad Armstrong's vocals. Lyrically and musically, this lead track is just an inkling of 13ghosts' ability to pull you in and spit you back out, head ringing and with a [...]
Birmingham Alabama band 13ghosts have been playing, recording and releasing music since 1999 and despite having 3 EP's and 4 LP's under their belt until a track turned up on June's edition of the Feel Bad For You mix-tape the band had not being on my personal music radar, well after listening to Liar's Melody it seems I have some homework to do as the band fit squarely into my listening profile with their quality blend of rough hewn rock and roots. After a hiatus the band return with stalwart Brad Armstrong front and [...]
Tarde pero seguro, aquí traemos el Mixtape con lo mejor que conseguimos durante el mes de octubre. Estuvo complicada la vaina, con lo del cubrimiento del CMJ Music Marathon y otros compromisos que nos alejaron de Internet durante buena parte del mes. Pero lo importante es que la labor se realizó a cabalidad y debemos decir que este es uno de los mejores compilados que hemos publicado. Y sí, decimos lo mismo casi todos los meses. Como venimos hablando desde hace varias semanas de lo acontecido en CMJ pero nadie paró bolas, entonces se [...]
Deerhunter's prolific musical genius, Bradford Cox, has been one of our favorite 'indie' musicians for years. In addition to his work on his mothership, that is Deerhunter, Cox has lots of other music projects and collaborations, including the most popular of them all - his solo work under the moniker Atlas Sound, a project that [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

It's Spring, and that means rebirth: when the earth reemerges from the earth, covered in last year's leaves. When the morning is filled with brave still-chilled birds, proffering a soundtrack for our triumphant return. It's also school vacation, and that means our annual trip down to North Carolina's Outer Banks, where we join up with family members more typically spread far and wide across the country, enough to spill into two adjacent houses. In past years, as with most of our excursions to various and sundry parts of the world, [...]
Glossary bassist Bingham Barnes getting posterized It's not often I get to participate in a private anthropological field study, let alone one that's pants-optional. However, this weekend I'm a cultural warrior battling mano-a-mano for the soul of American music. Hyperbole? Probably. Essentially true? That would be yes. Wiggins, Mississippi , is the site of Wigginstock, a two-day symposium on the future of rock 'n' roll. Panel discussions include: "Shorts on Stage, Laptops, and Other Performance No-No's" and "Are Ironic Mustaches Killing Indie Rock?" These [...]
Bham Goes to SXSW 2 is a day party today (noon - 7 p.m. at the Creekside Lounge in Austin) featuring music from my (relatively) new hometown of Birmingham, Alabama. I am still surprised by the wealth of local musical talent in Birmingham, not to mention the various venues (Bottletree, Workplay, etc.) that offer several interesting shows a week. For a taste of the local music scene (as well as national and international acts that have played here), check out Alabama Public Television's series We Have Signal , which offers streaming video online [...]
Une fois de plus, j'ai mal dormi et je me réveille en sursaut après un cauchemar profond. Les braises du feu juste à côté de moi s'apprêtent à mourir et j'espère que cette journée ne sera pas ma dernière. Ma bouteille de whisky frelaté s'assèche à une vitesse folle, je vais devoir faire le plein dans la prochaine ville. Le soleil brille déjà et la crosse de ma Winchester est chaude, je devrais vérifier son bon fonctionnement si je croise quelques renégats sur ma route. Il est temps d'y aller, je m'allume une dernière douceur et [...]
Before packing our bags and heading back to the day-to-day grind that is real life, we were able to take in a couple more days of fun in the sun/overwhelming amounts of music/drunken record executives. Without further ado, the conclusion of our South by Southwest 2009 coverage: Friday, March 20th: It's hard to cover Friday without sounding self-aggrandizing, so bear with us. Truth be told, CoS had too much going on to really reach out to anything else. With our Brodown Hoedown party taking up the majority of [...]

On Friday, March 20, 2009, Consequence of Sound will host its first annual South by Southwest showcase. Entitled simply as Listen! , this year's event is designed to highlight six of music's most talented up-and-comers in one night, under one roof. In the days leading up to the event, we'll be taking a closer look at these acts… The easy way out would be to describe Alabama's 13ghosts as an "atmospheric" band. That certainly is a part of the band's identity, as anyone who has [...]
