bank holiday monday, tube journeys last too long and the destination is just never that great. should've stayed in bed listening to grizzly bear . loving this album for too long. obsessed with the vocal harmonies on this track. going back to bed. nb. grizzly bear sounds a bit like a constellation, doesn't it? it's not (they are real live bears. not star bears. or, you know, the great bear). we advise learning some constellations for when one needs to apply the art of picking up girls. pointing out the shape of the stars just before a [...]
Remember that one guy from Unicorns ? Yeah, Nick Diamonds is the shit, I love that guy. Wait, you're talking about someone else? Oh, Alden Penner? Bingo! Penner's newly formed band Clues first showed their faces at the 2007 Pop Montreal Music Festival and have been recording since. Their newest album Clues (s/t), is set to release this coming May under Constellation Records . Clues' pop/spaz tunes are fun, catchy, and not as "Unicorn like" as I would have expected (which is a good thing). Penner illustrates that he has moved on from the [...]

Lui, Jordan McKenzie, originario di Vancouver. Lei, Emi Honda, proveniente dal Giappone. Non si tratterà di dimensioni parallele come quelle descritte da Murakami Haruki, ma la distanza fra i due non era poca roba. Tuttavia la coppia si accoppia: in vita ed in musica. Scegliendo la miscela degli opposti, fra sperimentalismo ed originalità. [...]
Montreal, Unicorns e Arcade Fire. Punti di partenza per il progetto Clues, nato nel 2007 da Alden Penner (lato Unicorns) e Brendan Reed (parte Arcade Fire) con un basso profilo (nessuna pagina MySpace, facebook neanche considerato, il solo sito di riferimento quello di VillaVillaNola, negozio di musica digitale in cui si possono trovare diversi artisti [...]

Amber Albrecht made these pictures for Said the Gramophone, very specially, and it took her a very long time to make them what she wanted. They are illustrations of two songs she loves, by an artist called The Constellations . The Constellations - "Oh, Captive Princess!" The Constellations - "Spirit, Come Back!" [...]
When I met Amber Albrecht , I was wearing my suit. I had just been at a job interview. I was visiting my friend Kit, who had an exhibition on, and as we were talking this small woman came in. She had brought fancy markers and, I think, her lunch. Somehow, just looking at her, she seemed like she had a forested spirit. (I don't really know what that means; think birch bark, poisonous berries, moss.) Kit said, Sean, Amber; Amber, Sean. She was there to do some drawing with Kit. And then [...]
image: under-sexposure™ Aside from looping 1901 all day, I've been listening to a lot of classics. Real classics. Not blog houze hits from 2005. I'm talking 1975 Lonnie Liston Smith. Unfortunately this isn't what I'm posting today. I mention Lonnie because I just copped a fun ass track of The Constellations which Death Metal Disco Scene remixed and turned the mellow vibe into a FUNK BEAST. I know they dipped their fingers into the classic jazz/funk pool for this one. [...]
Hot, fresh & een beetje new. Opeens verscheen hun album Southern Gothic online. De playlist toonde een samenwerking met Cee-Lo en Asher Roth. Uiteindelijk belandde het album in de 2008-eindejaarslijst van zijkantgetekende. The Constellations bestaan in de kern uit Elijah Jones, Devin Donnelly en producer Ben H. Allen. Wikipedia zegt van niet, maar hier staat dan Ben H. Allen mee heeft gewerkt aan Gnarls Barkley's Crazy. Ook werkte hij onder andere samen met Animal Collective. Nou, dat zijn al niet de minste namen. Wat voor muziek maken ze [...]
klever remix came out some time ago, but didn't really like it so much. this ones much better and suits last posts picture. i had to name her felicia. the constellations - felicia (death metal disco scene remix)
From their Album Southern Gothic. Working in the shadowy confines of an unremarkable Atlanta studio, Grammy-winning producer Ben H. Allen of Gnarls Barkley fame, vocalist Elijah Jones and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Devin Donnelly spent the past two years jamming on ideas and crafting songs for a concept record loosely linked together under the moniker The Constellations. Working without a structure and with no definite plans to form a band or to release material, the three spent months tossing ideas at their imaginary band only [...]
Jérôme Deuson, mente pensante dell'etichetta belga Stilll Records ed attore protagonista della pellicole griffate Amute. Apprezzate, non poco, in passato, in virtù di una fenomenologia constellationiana trasfigurata in dimensioni implosive e catartiche, seguendo-per genetica- quel Polmo Polpo che fu e- per piacere- immaginari fennesziani. Un pò alla Tim Hecker , volendola fare breve. Il nuovo [...]
Here's some good dancey electronic music that the cool kids like. And, coincidentally, is also very catchy and delicious. Salem - Whenusleep Salem is kinda blowing up. At least on the P4K, GvB, and Stereogums. But you know what? I don't mind. 'Cause this shit is awesome. Dark, fuzzy, echoey, and the name of the city I live in. It actually feels kinda lame listening to Salem while [...]
thee silver mt. zion memorial orchestra & tra-la-la band - 13 blues for thirteen moons (constellation) this is the first asmz album to come with packaged with lyrics (in a nice little hymnal too), perhaps indicative of the unprecedented focus on frontman efrim menuck's voice, and in general the first time the band has sounded so direct. it was due for a worldwide release on march 25th, but the kind people at constellation mailed it much earlier, just in time for my birthday in fact. for a whole month since that day, i listened [...]
Danesi, puri come Michael Laudrup, eppure incazzati sul modello Christian Poulsen. Della schiera di chi ha amato (ed ama) certa Constellation, sapendo rendere emotivo tanto lo strazio quanto la ragione. Senza parole, si intende. MySpace - The Seven Mile Journey Sito The Seven Mile Journey
of all the great musicians from athens, georgia (r.e.m., the elephant six bands), it's a complete mystery why i've never gotten to listen to vic chesnutt - not even when he's collaborated with many other bands i love, like lambchop, or even when he released his album north star deserter last year on my favorite record label constellation . and for that matter, that album featured more of my favorite bands, from constellation stalwarts a silver mt zion and gy!be, and also fugazi's guy picciotto. this time round, on his newest album dark developments [...]
So, the football tourny last weekend was a helluva lot of fun, but also took it's toll. I'm not sure if it was the allergen minefield that is the Georgia Soccer Park, the multiple rotations of playing and drinking, or the final night of celebrating our grand victory over all the other teams, but I've felt like utter crap all week long. I'm also trying to get through a couple of new album reviews this week. Anyway, there were some pretty cool tracks delivered to my inbox this week- my favorite is the new Streets though. A friend pointed out [...]
