Welcome to The New York Rockmarket's end of the year list spectacular. This is when I talk about how lists are fun but ultimately meaningless, and apologize for not posting the last few days because I've been compiling my lists. This is also where I talk about favorites as opposed to best, like I did last year . All of those things still apply. I'm making two lists this year: Favorite Songs and Favorite Albums. I'm going to attempt to skew my albums list a bit more towards the critical, but this songs list is just straight-up about fun, beautiful, [...]
VISI ☼NS :: JULY 2010 MIXTAPE :: BOY ATTRACTIONS with summer slowly winding down, we've all seemed to be in a funk here this past week on tumblr. it's no secret; blogs and music lovers adore summer, and it'll be sad to see it go. but i see no reason not to embrace the change from humidity to cooler weather, leaf color changing, halloween, returning to school; there are plenty of things to look forward to. but summer is still here. and for our july mixtape, [...]

Ancient Crux: My Pillars of Shame Travis von Sydow keeps himself busy. When he's not lending his talents to several California-based acts ( Rabid Youth , Twin Lion ), he churns out delightful pop ballads as Ancient Crux . After showcasing his doo wop-y melodies and 90's flavor on a recent split with Weed Diamond , he's back with new release for Bridgetown Records . Stage Fright features 13 tracks (8 of them live) and [...]
California DIY-er Travis von Sydow, aka Ancient Crux , has a new EP out this summer on Bridgetown Records . Entitled Stage Fright , the new album will also come bundled with a live recording from one of his shows in Los Angeles. "My Pillars of Shame" is a twisting and sprawling track that features a mesmerizing bass line scaling from start to finish. The new track showcases how Ancient Crux has grown from a single bedroom recording into a project that has a fully realized scope and sound. MP3 : Ancient Crux - [...]
I have always been amazed at the way an ordinary observer lends so much more credence and attaches so much more importance to waking events than to those occurring in dreams... Man... is above all the plaything of his memory. - Andre Breton Icarus is told to have flown too close to the sun while escaping Crete with his father Daedalus ( creator of a wide dancing-ground for Ariadne) falling to the ground. Routinely used as a symbol of loss of joy, faith, or a return to stark reality which I think completely misses the larger [...]
We're pleased to announce that the oft-talked about Ancient Crux / Weed Diamond split 7" is now almost ready (ready enough to announce anyway!). Released on Monday 5th April on Half Machine Records, there's only 200 copies available from us and various shops and each band will have a stash to sell on tour and what not so get in early!

The split 7" with Ancient Crux and Weed Diamond will be with us shortly, on very very limited 7" (around 200 copies in shops and some from each band). To celebrate Travis from Ancient Crux has made us a mixtape, which you can download below. Taking in three Wu (or related) songs, which makes this three times better than most mixtapes. Tracklisting: 1. Brian Eno - Cindy Tells Me 2. The Adverts - No Time To Be 21 3. Wu-Tang Clan - Protect Ya Neck 4. Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti [...]
The wonderful and ever on it blog Rose Quartz have posted a couple of tracks and a short write up on Ancient Crux , click HERE to read it all and download two tracks ('Mutant Beach Theme' and 'Demand Respect'), taken from their split with Ouija.

Ancient Crux - Demand Respect Ancient Crux - Mutant Beach Theme We liked Ancient Crux's socks-visible pop last year but check this fleshed out new direction, still washed in a realist Weezer/the 90s (ie Kicking & Screaming ) alt-rock vibe and a slight dark streak to their twang, mixing Built To Spill-type mess with clear guitar lines and come off particularly bright on "Mutant Beach Theme" which makes me experience two different childhood memories, a) listening to Weezer and b) playing with Toxic Crusaders toys [...]
WEED DIAMOND , who will be the other side to the Ancient Crux 7" we're putting out, is Denver, Colorado based Tim Perry. His songs also take in the lo-fi 60s pop thing, although these tracks are more stoner psych jams with long forgotten doo wop bands' melodies floating around behind the fuzz. Weed Diamond's side of the split 7" will have his heartbroken prom song 'Nothing To Write Home About', which is up on his myspace to listen to (and download if you know how to work the [...]
ANCIENT CRUX is primarily 19 year old Travis Von Sydow (also of LA punks Rapid Youth ), he writes, records all the Ancient Crux stuff himself, but plays live with a couple of other dudes. We first stumbled across them on the No Pain In Pop blog a few months ago. We instantly fell in love with the lo-fi Roy Orbison pop of 'In Teen Dreams', sounding like it should've soundtracked Jason Priestly's mercurial (if tragically short lived) turn as Buzz Gunderson in 'Teen Angel' . So, [...]

Label Focus #2: Bridgetown Records
In La Puente, a rather small community somewhere in LA county, Kevin Greenspon spends his days with something that's becoming more and more rare in our all-digital internet age: Running the one-man miracle Bridgetown Records , he has devoted himself to packing and sending strictly limited CDr and cassette tape releases by hand picked artists, most probably without ever even getting close to be in the black. Of course, those small imprints have always existed, but it probably needed that nostalgia-infused cassette revival [...]

SAFE and Ancient Crux
I'm going to take another week off of my 1000 Minutes project to talk about a couple of tracks that I've found over the past week or so. The artists are relatively new – at least from what I can find; soak these in and then sit back and watch where they go next. If [...]

Ancient Crux - Strange Situation Got a big urge to post more Future Sounds bodaciousness but first something a little bit more (though only partially) retrograde. Ancient Crux's pop is a mixture of that white guy/pants a little too short/socks visible thang and also a dusty faux western dryness, only slight, though, against their wonky wandering guitar lines that also have this funny little sparkle, bizarro doo-wop backing up against their pop after chucking it in their tote bag and letting it jumble up against the bits of tobacco and other [...]
