Ben Hinz is lead-singer and guitarist for Doom/Triphop outfit The Ronald Raygun . He is also the owner of Dwarfcraft Devices , an acclaimed effects pedal manufacturing business centered in Eau Claire,WI (seriously, tons of people use his stuff, check out the videos and testimonials to get an idea.) While his music might suggest he'd just as soon bludgeon you to death with a lead pipe as look you, he was kind enough to send us to jot down a few ruminations on what he considered to be the best of 2011 . . .

Friday at the House of Rock was of few words. There wasn’t much in the way of stage banter, The Ronald Raygun set was lyrically sparse (fewer of these were clearly decipherable) and Collections of Colonies of Bees featured no vocals at all. But despite the lack of words there was plenty being said. When it came to the music volumes were being spoken – shouted, actually – and we the audience were all too eager to listen. Ben Hinz led The Ronald Raygun in a set of devastating force, shattering the grout between the floor tiles (I’m [...]

We were busy moving on Sunday and didn't get to post these songs, but we think that the temporal displacement has aged them to perfection. (Who knew they only required an additional 24 hours in our oak barrels?) In a desire to share even more great, free music with you, the Sunday Monday Sampler offers a handful of tracks without the usual critical and biographical write-up. Less talk, more tunes.

Craft Spells: Idle Labor - I'm noticing a lot of bands getting their influences from 80s new wave... maybe its just me. The good thing is, some bands are actually achieving a perfect balance between the past and the present. Another one of those bands is Craft Spells . With Idle Labor , Craft Spells spin tales of love, loss and all of the other romantic things you'd expect to a soundtrack of near-perfect dreamy synth pop. What makes them most unique from others in the genre(which is getting more crowded all the [...]
1. Collections Of Colonies Of Bees - "Lawn" (Taken from their new album GIVING , their first new material since their highly praised collaboration with Justin Vernon of Bon Iver in Volcano Choir. The instrumental post-rock band explodes with proggy rhythms and soaring melodies, showcasing their well-honed skills on the 28 minute, 4-song album out now on Hometapes.) http://collectionsofcoloniesof bees.net/ Download: http://teamclermont.s3.amazona ws.com/mp3/collectionsofcoloni esofbees_lawn.mp3 2.

By Maxwell Silver The Fresh Tracks mixtape series has really exploded since we fired up the first installment last year. So, like Ray Davies of The Kinks screams in the title track of the band's splendid 1981 LP release: "give the people what they want." Because the amount of hits, streams and downloads of the [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
auf hometapes wird am 02. august ein neues album von collections of colonies of bees erscheinen. mit "giving" tritt dann eine band an, die viele kennen, obwohl sie anfangs mit dem namen kaum etwas anfangen werden können. aha- effekte gibt es recht unzögerlich alsbald dann, wenn an die band volcano choir erinnert wird, unter deren dach nicht nur justin vernon hauste, sondern eben auch die im sidestep verantwortlich zeichnenden pele mitglieder chris rosenau und jon mueller, partner bei collections of colonies of bees waren zudem jim schoenecker und jon minor. letzterer und jon mueller sind [...]
It doesn't get much more joyous than this. "Lawn," from Collections Of Colonies Of Bees' Giving album, the experimental rock band's sixth since 1998 and first for Hometapes, wastes no time launching off into an exuberant post-rock bliss replete with impossibly warm tones, asymmetrical percussive splashes and subtle electronic touches that imbue a feeling of [...]

Hometown post rock heros Collections Of Colonies Of Bees (COCOBs pronounced like stingingly delicious Cocoa Bees haha) just fired off the lead track from their upcoming LP, Giving. Every recent write up I have read about these cats has named dropped Bon Iver, Justin Vernon and their collabo in the tre excellente Volcano Choir project. I completely understand the logic behind it, but I feel after putting it down for 13 years they stand on their own. COCOBs jam. That being said, if the connection to one of music biggest stars it what the doctor ordered to turn people on [...]

Friday, June 24, 2011 Today's Quick Mention: Plenty to see this weekend. Tonight you'll find the Rosebuds and Other Lives at the Parish, and Dark Water Hymnal and the Calm Blue Sea at the Mohawk. Tomorrow Quin Galavis has a CD release show at Beerland, and Alela Diane is playing the inside of Stubb's. With all of that I'd advise napping on Sunday, but it may also be a good idea to see Eastern Conference Champions at Emo's. Let's close this silly week. Enjoy. [...]
All Tiny Creatures ’ new album, Harbors , is a bit of an enigma. Each song is both similar and wildly different than the ones that surround it, making it a slippery record to dissect. This is due to both the pedigree of people involved in the project (Collections of Colonies of Bees/Volcano Choir) and the different guest vocalists that give each song a distinct feel. But as wily a creature as it is, it’s nigh impossible not to get swept way in its hypnotic spell. Nowhere is this more evident than on “Glass Bubbles”. Indicative of [...]
