Photo by Cam Archer 200 Years, comprised of Ben Chasny (Six Organs of Admittance) and Elisa Ambrogio (Magik Markers) produces slow, strummy tunes that call to mind the group Stars or perhaps Buried Beds' more somber numbers. (Coincidentally 200 Years has a song called “Solar System”.) Minimalist arrangements hooked on guitars harmonium and piano, passionate yet very contained vocals provided by Ambrogio, and sparse yet symbolic lyrics lay at the core of the duo's songs. Their music is perfect accompaniment for deep introspection, or unwinding after a long, treacherous day. They will be playing [...]

C'est un des disques importants de l'année dernière. Pas important parce qu'on nous l'a dit, pas important parce qu'il a été pensé pour l'être. Important par sa qualité, sa discrétion et par la relation dont il est le résultat. 200 Years réunit Ben Chasny de Six Organs of Admittance et Elisa Ambrogio de Magik Markers . Deux valeurs sûres, plutôt adeptes d'expérimentations sonores : de plus ou moins longues plages de guitares folk psychédéliques pour l'un , une bonne dose de bruit et de rage pour l'autre . Mais, on s'en [...]

Photo by Cam Archer MP3: 200 Years - "Solar System" "Solar System" may introduce itself as a simple, hushed acoustic track with its somewhat stark beginning, but it's this very simplicity that makes it all feel rather spacious in the end. By leaving so much negative space untouched, the song grows into an increasingly tender piece that connects intimacy with universality. It's quiet, maybe even a bit reserved, but it's no less moving, or engaging. "Solar System" [...]
As major labels continue to exist behind the times, artists and labels with little capital and lesser reputations are producing some of the most innovative, interesting, and inspiring music. Whether it’s creating a new niche in digital technology or looking to once obsolete formats, Agitated Atmosphere hopes to pull back the curtain on a wealth of sights and sound from luminaries such as Six Organs of Admittance . The loss of Ben Chasny from Seattle (however temporary his stay) is a hole that will be hard to fill. Chasny’s presence in town lent itself to [...]
200 cheers for those straw dogs of skull counting (and flowers!), Ben "Six Organs of Admittance" Chasny and Elisa "Magik Markers" Ambrogio. They have memories like steel traps rusting deep underground; these mooks manage to light candles and curse the darkness all in one record. Guitars, vocals, heavy air, faint strains. From; dragcity Links; 200 Years - 200 Years Password (if

I fucking love vinyl. This is a recent fetish, I have to confess, which is perhaps why I am setting about it with the unshakeable passion of a born-again, but whatever the reasons, there it is. I had a lot of vinyl as a kid, primarily because I could afford it, but once I moved onto one of those twin cassette deck plus CD on top thingies at university I thought that was the last I would be seeing of my record collection. The problem is that at the level of Song, by Toad Records, and presumably many, [...]
