We couldn't be more proud to be working with Beaten By Them, whose amazing new LP, "Invisible Origins", is out today---and getting lots of love (including being added to ALARM Press' "Most Exciting Releases This Week" list!)."Rock and roll isn't rocket science. In the case of Beaten By Them, however, it actually is. Two of the band's members met while working at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

This one's a bit delayed. Thrill Jockey released the latest from Beaten By Them, Signs Of Life , last November, but that doesn't make the release any less significant. "Town Too Small" introduces the band on a more eclectic and erratic note, experimenting occasionally with time. But such nuances are the norm in experimental instrumental (mostly) groups such as this. The group truly comes to life in songs like "The Asiatic Capital Vista", honing in on a sound that's romantic but not for romance's sake, pleasant but filled with frequent [...]

Logic Pole/Thrill Jockey releases the latest by Beaten By Them , Signs Of Life , a dynamic and cinematic fusion of classical influences and instrumental rock music. Their music originates in the gritty tones of Andrew Harris's guitar and is filtered through the sensibilities of Max McCormick, whose arrangements owe more to beats-based electronic and world music than rock. Cellist Boima Tucker is a key ingredient in Beaten by Them : his performances, which are lyrical and fiery, truly define the band's sound. The spaciousness and power of Beaten by Them's music [...]
Think about it, an Asiatic capital vista. If you're a dumb American like me, you may have trouble naming an Asiatic capital, let alone envisioning what one would like. Still, I want you to stick with that image. Now, take a listen to the grand, sweeping movements of Beaten by Them's "The Asiatic Capital Vista," and the vision should start to come into focus -- old world charm, a rocky coast line, slightly swaying, clear blue water, and maybe an old man or two, with tight, weathered skin, trolling patiently on a rickety fishing boat. Guitarists Andrew Harris [...]
Download: Beaten By Them -- "The Asiatic Capital Vista" Multinational band, Beaten By Them will release their latest album, Signs Of Life , this November 11th on Logic Pole via Thrill Jockey . When Andrew Harris and Max McCormick decided to move from San Francisco back to their home country of Australia at the end of 2006, it seemed they were sounding the death knell for Beaten by Them, the fledgling band they had spawned just a year earlier. But before long the two guitarists were hatching plans [...]

Twin Cities: - M.anifest on his new track, "I teamed up with producer Budo (Seattle) to make this 'Age of Obama' joint in ode of the man that made the fist bump (in)famous. We made this joint to remind folks that it would be a scarier America and a scarier world if Obama doesn't get into office. So y'all know what to do. Good leadership is of essence even in a failing status quo/system. You can call it a PSA to remind folks to be weary of being complacent and to see this shit [...]
A handful of my blurry photos from this past Sunday's Bag Of Songs Night at the M Room in Philadelphia with Upsincefriday , Beaten By Them , JP05 and Cedarwell . Big,big thanks to all of the bands for an excellent night of music. I'd attempt to write you a longer review but Jessica over at Popwreck(oning) has already done a superlative job, along with some much better photos [...]
Last night marked another great Sunday night of music at The Manhattan Room (Ed. Note: misnomer - it's located in Philadelphia) thanks to Tom of Bag of Songs and Village Green Productions. The night began with Sheboygan, Wisc. trio Cedarwell, making waves with their beautifully melodic shoegaze evident by opening for national acts such as [...]
An amazing and diverse lineup coming up for you this Sunday August 31st at the M Room in Philadelphia. First up is the musical muse of Sheboygan Wisconsin's Erik Neave, Cedarwell, whose powerful, darkly intense acoustic based songs will have you mesmerized. If you like artists like Bon Iver , Fleet Foxes or Jose Gonzales you need to hear Cedarwell . Cedarwell - Home [...]
Monday, August 25, 2008 As I mentioned in the podcast and film report this weekend (see, it does pay to listen or read other features on the site!), the wife and I will be driving from Seattle to San Diego from August 29 to September 14. I'm betting it will be the sort of amazing experience that will totally prevent me from writing, so don't expect any posts at all (not even from Noah or John Michael) throughout that time. Now, with that noted let's get on with this week's [...]
Hey Marseilles - From A Terrace Despite all the "boycott French wine" and "Freedom Fries" crap which obnoxiously plagued the US landscape over the past few years, francophilia in America is alive and well. But despite their name, Seattle's Hey Marseilles perform in la langue de Shakespeare , preferring instead invoke the spirit of old-world Marseilles as an influence to their poetic, folkish, and stunningly orchestral music. The collection of pianos, cello, violins, and accordion might force some people to label it as "eclectic." I call it "magnifique." [...]
