Whether it's pop music's infatuation with auto-tune or the Pitchfork set's infatuation with lo-fi recording, what passes for creativity these days is nothing more than taking something old and produce it like it's something new. Coin Under Tongue's thick, piercing, and varied sonic attack, would be the exception to that rule. This is a band with an encyclopedic knowledge of rock - From new wave to noise and metal, and a band with an impressive array gear - Coin Under Tongue's latest was recorded at Death by Audio Studios and produced by a man who knows a thing or [...]
With the gnarliest guitar sound outside of A Place to Bury Strangers, it's only a matter of time before Coin Under Tongue blow out their amplifiers, blow out the electricity to whole city blocks, and blow up all over this thing we call the internet. Still, without a full length to their name, but getting closer, Death by Audio Records has released another four-song suite for free download via their website. Like their last internet release, the So Far EP, the tracks on Coin Under Tongue/Hussies at Bay, can be tough to peg [...]
Recording in A Place to Bury Strangers' Death By Audio Studios, it's almost too easy to draw comparisons between the Coin Under Tongue and APTBS. Hell, both bands share a love of love tooth-cracking discharges of guitar via extreme effects pedals. Yet, to leave the introduction with no more than notes of their similarities, is to ignore the fact that Coin Under Tongue are drawing from a far wider pallet than the feedback loving British acts of the late '80s and early '90s. On both "Reception" and "High Until We Die," Coin Under Tongue pair their love [...]
While the Brooklyn based band, Coin Under Tongue may have zero web presence -- no friends, no tweets, nothing -- that doesn't necessarily mean they have an empty bio. Really, all you need to know about this band you can glean from the company they keep. Recording for Death by Audio, the effects pedal company , recording studio, and record label helmed by A Place to Bury Strangers' Oliver Ackermann, you know before pressing play that there will be guitar -- noisy, gnashing, industrial tools on a factory floor guitar. And sure enough, "Beyond [...]
Shilpa Ray has a spectacular voice, and a really likable, spunky personality, but from my first time seeing her last night at Death By Audio, it seemed that her songs aren't quite as engaging or distinct as she herself is. "Generic" is a terrible word, but there wasn't enough of her own brandmark to the whole thing. There is the harmonium, which sounds ten times as interesting when only she is singing over it, but gets lost when the band kicks in and everything becomes slightly predictable and non specific, leaving you to think, oh with this voice there [...]
It is not too often that you find a pop star from Rhode Island, but Spanish Dancer is much more concerned with infectious grooves then geography. I suppose you could call this indie soul or faux-pop, but while you are busy trying to classify his sound Spanish is making you move to his beats. Spanish Dancer's debut full-length Burned Up, Bred High comes fresh off the heels of last years fuzzy bassed out future groover internet turned 12" vinyl single "Hustler". Burned Up, Bred High finds Providence's post-pop, post-whatever draft pick gallivanting [...]
A good Cure cover?? Not an easy thing to find. Well, let me tell you, there is at least one worth listening to on Perfect as Cats: A Tribute to The Cure (which came out last year). It is by The Muslims d/b/a The Soft Pack . It is pretty faithful, methinks.
