A Faulty Chromosome - Craving to be Coddled So We Feel Fake-Safe Last week I was introduced to a guy by the name of Josh who informed me that he had a label and that he had released on one album on it. That album is Craving to be Coddled So We Feel Fake-Safe by A Faulty Chromosome. Apparently it was released in 2009, but didn't really make a splash. Although I can't say why because it's great. It could be because Josh is in his own words "analog" and refuses to seek out blogs [...]

I'll admit it; I was rushed into adding this photo when I couldn't find the actual CD cover for "Craving to be Coddled so we Feel Fake-Safe" ... so shoot me.

A Faulty Chromosome As An Ex-Anorexic's Sic Sicks Exit, … (self released, 2008) This out-of-nowhere debut arrived in my mail box in the summer of last year, odd title and all, and amongst the piles of promotional drivel that passes through our mail box and email inbox, sparkled like the most exquisite diamond. Even now I am so charmed by this little record that I have to go back to it immediately whenever anything reminds me of it in anyway, just to get that proper fix. On Ex-Anorexic , everything feels [...]
"doodle" by Melanie Cardenas A Faulty Chromosome - Groaning Like A Grown-Up You: You just reviewed the album this was on, like, yesterday. Me: Oh, thank you kind sir for pointing that out to me. You see I have a hard time remembering what I blogged about on my own goddamn blog. So let me explain to you in list form why [...]
A Faulty Chromosome - Tippy-Toes WTF. How is A Faulty Chromosome not being worshiped by every indie music nerd on the planet? These guys are creating the best weirdo bedroom pop and they're making it all their own. Craving To Be Coddled So We Feel Fake-Safe is the follow up to my second favorite record of last year, their debut As An Ex-Anorexic's... , and it's every bit as awesome as their [...]
A Faulty Chromosome craving to be coddled so we can feel fake-safe (2009, self released) RIYL = The Evangelicals, old Built To Spill, "um, hard won warm fuzzies?" (That's me quoting my mind.) I have been waiting for this album some time now, periodically checking A Faulty Chromosome's MySpace page for any digestible new updates like a giddy little girl refreshing the American Girl website every 2 hours in order to be the first to see their newest doll ("follow your inner star"). So, yeah, kinda creepy and overly obsessive (and now trying to [...]
![[mp3] A Faulty Chromosome - "Bad Thing"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2065448_lg.jpg)
Here's a couple of new ones from Austin's A Faulty Chromosome , whose new album Craving To Be Coddled So We Feel Fake-Safe is still in the production phase. Times are tough all over, and the band has set up a unique fund-raising project through Kickstarter (which you can read all about here ) to help with the mastering, design, pressing, and eventual promotion. Listen to new tracks "Bad Thing" and "Picking On Us Like We're Picayune" below; "Bad Thing" is a blissed-out fuzz-pop gem reminiscent of their best songs [...]
A Faulty Chromosome - Love Goes Home to Paris in the Spring A nice cover version of one of my favourite titled songs, the Magnetic Fields' Love Goes Home to Paris (original video below), by Texans A Faulty Chromosome. There can be no better description of their sound than: "a fuzzy mess of tremolo, hand-claps, 8-bit blips, water-damaged Mister Rogers records, mashed Casio chords and drum machine'd beats," on their last.fm profile. AFC'S debut album, as an ex-anorexic's six sicks exit, can be downloaded for free from their MySpace and the group [...]
And so after just under 24 hours of travelling we finally reached our destination. It was a pretty uneventful flight to Washington notable only for a spectacularly disappointing film selection on the plane. We had a long, long, long queue to get through immigration and then another three hours flight onto Austin.Typically the hardest part of the journey was trying to find the hotel (with its

Here's the second installment of our radio show-oriented 2008 music recap. We're still following through this overview chronologically, so we're perusing through some of this year's earlier releases. They might be a few months old, but this podcast is certainly packed with a slew of catchy tracks that you might have missed or forgotten. This podcast let's you relive 2008 again and again and again. The Needle Drop 12-06-08 Playlist: Tim Fite - "Yesterday's Garden" Animals Talking - [...]
I'm going to act like I have to make a Top 10 list at the end of the year because this is a music blog and that's what music blogs do. I'll say that I'm doing this begrudgingly only because people love to read lists and it'll get lots of hits. You see, I don't really have an option at this point. It's fucking mandatory. But in reality, I love making lists and telling people what my favorite things are. So here they are. My top picks from 2008. (Disclaimer: Marijn came out in '07 but [...]
A Faulty Chromosome - Them Pleasures Of The Flesh Here's a record that's been constantly in rotation ever since I heard about it from Forest Gospel way back in March. How A Faulty Chromosome has side stepped mainstream indie rock stardom is beyond me because As An Ex-Anorexic's Six Sicks Exit,... is top tier stuff. And I figured there's still not enough people talking about them so I might as well help the cause and [...]
( 2 votes, average: 4 out of 5) Loading ... Il fatto di percorrere la strada dello shoegazer ti da qualche scelta. Puoi alzare le distorsioni e il gain dell'amplificatore al massimo, e ripetere un riff catchy fino al punto di farlo sembrare la cosa migliore mai suonata da essere vivente (vedi Jesus And Mary Chain , Raveonettes , Ringo Deathstarr ...) oppure, in aggiunta a quello [...]
This week, some grunge-inspired pop rock from No Age, and the eclectic sounds of Tim Fite. The Texas shoegaze trio, A Faulty Chromosome, will be coming to New Haven's Cafe 9 on May 20th. We feature a bit of their music, and another noise-latent album from the California rock duo, No age. No Age's Nouns has a few chord progressions on loan from the 90s grunge era, but their experimentation with guitar loops, noise, and droning hums bring their unrelenting punk pop to another level. We've also the highly-textured Fair Ain't Fair: [...]
S ometimes I put off talking/writing about bands because I don't like them and don't want to be cruel to someone who spent a good deal of time and effort (and most likely money) to share something they created. Other times I just lose track of what I've listened to and written about and what I haven't. Still other times, I just lose track altogether. In the case of a faulty chromosome it's the later. I'd worry about telling you what they sound like except they've done that for me "for [...]
Austin, TX Self-described as "a slopbucket of shoegaze tremolo, hand-claps, 8-bit blips, water-damaged mister rogers records, mashed casio chords and drum machine'd beats…" "Them Pleasures Of The Flesh" A Faulty Chromosome on MySpace A Faulty Chromosome on The Hype Machine
It's like the gumbo that you can't quite figure out what the secret ingredient is, or the pattern of clothes thats so compelling but you just can't figure out why, A Faulty Chromosome is a wonderful experiment in people that care a lot, about caring very little. To put the music in perspective just listen to the lyrics on one of the provided tracks Jackie O; "So we went to a party at Jackie Onassis', if you're so smart why don't you wear glasses? So you can see what you're doing to me" then again on the chorus " [...]
