Nos ha sabido coger la noche. De nuevo. Pero en esta oportunidad no fue culpa de nosotros (nunca lo es) y lo cierto es que esperamos que el producto final amerite el retraso. Hicimos un recuento de las vainas que pusimos en los mixtapes durante todo el año y pudimos concluír que ya casi no es necesario este mixtape, así que en 2013 evaluaremos su continuidad. Aprovechen este, pués. ¡Y bailen! Destacamos la inclusión de nuestras favoritas del año ( Guards , Japandroids , FIDLAR ), algunas que pusimos en otros espacios ( Haim [...]

Having been long-time fans of Digital Leather project, we were quite excited to learn about Shawn Foree's new project, Mere Mortals . The duo of Shawn and Rachel have been working on the album over the last few months in their living room, and decided to put it on Bandcamp while still looking for a label. Their sound is closer to the older, synth-heavy Digital Leather stuff than to his recent garagey efforts, which is perfectly fine by us. Stream half of Purple Fire , and buy it to hear the rest here . It's a digital [...]

poster by something of a dandy Man, when did Chicago become Seattle? It's been cold and rainy all week. The good new is that it's Friday, so now you can get out there and see some music without the threat of work in the morning looming over your head. And there's plenty of good music to see like Lying Delilah at Tonic Room, Bailiff at Beat Kitchen, Digital Leather at the Burlington and more! Dig it... FRIDAY [...]
![[on repeat] FLOUR by Digital Leather](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4515989_lg.jpg)
Digital Leather is the project of multi-instrumentalist Shawn Foree from Omaha (that'd be Nebraska) whose creative genius takes his generally punk flavored releases into an array of other genres. His most recent release, Yes Please, Thank You , is a cassette EP that was released earlier this year on Southpaw Records ( buy ). For this release Shawn continues to illustrate his diversity with songs such as 'Mountains Are Dreaming,' a frenzied, electronic song, with airy guitar, glitchy synths, and a pulsating bass that makes for a superb off-kilter pop [...]

Death # Disco, Volume 1 Death # Disco est une soirée berlinoise qui promet musique post-punk et cold synth à ses fidèles sur une base mensuelle depuis son lancement à l'été 2010. Une proposition qui s'approche somme toute beaucoup de nos soirées Cold War Nightlife en vogue à l'époque, excepté le fait que les DJs Ian P. Christ et NecroPhil invitent de plus groupes et musiciens à des prestations live . Une formule classique renvoyant aux beaux jours du Batcave et compagnie, qui a permis au [...]

Mixtape: Things You May Have Missed Earlier This Year (Podcast #280) Words by Ben Van Houten When it was pitched, this episode was known informally as an "underrated bands" mix, a label that seems as unworkable as it feels insulting. In an age of increasing access to an perpetually growing volume of music, and a culture that focuses on always keeping an eye out for the next big thing, the idea that any band could hold any attention long enough to be over-/under-/rated at all seems unlikely. Forget [...]

« Modern Problems a été enregistré à 100 % sur cassette. Tout seul. Chez moi. J'ai déjà enregistré tout un tas d'albums dans toutes sortes de studios... Mais ces chansons nécessitaient de la chaleur et de l'intimité... Et j'avais à la maison la configuration adéquate. Au début, j'ai essayé de me mettre à distance de mes propres émotions contenues dans chacun de ces morceaux. J'ai renoncé car c'était impossible. C'est une partie de moi-même et j'espère que ce disque parlera aux auditeurs au-delà du rythme et de l'agencement des compositions. » Ainsi s'adresse à nous Shawn Foree, âme pensante et agissante du groupe weird punk [...]

Alternative music chameleon Digital Leather is giving away the track 'Young Doctors In Love' which finds him in searing garage/post-punk mode.

Live This Month: February 2012 (Podcast #270) In Live This Month , we sample some of the great local and out-of-town bands performing in the coming month in the San Francisco Bay Area. The twentieth installment of the Noise Pop Music Festival takes over a wide variety of local venues later this month - and we'll be covering many of those shows - but there are also plenty of pre-NP events worth checking out. Locally, two bands are seeing the release of records for which it feels like we've been waiting forever: [...]

Digital Leather - "Sweet Cheeks" Edmund has written three suicide notes in his life. No one has seen them but him, and he never got so close that he even attempted any of their promise, but still he wrote them, actually on paper. And he thinks about them sometimes. Carolyn, I'm sorry for all the trouble. I don't like putting up with me either. Hopefully Evelyn only has my eyes. - Edmund He thought of leaving it under [...]

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Digital Leather , the musical project of multi-instrumentalist Shawn Foree, is releasing his 5th LP Modern Problems . Written and recorded after a brief stint in Berlin following the death of his good friend, collaborator and former manager Jay Reatard, Modern Problems is an exercise in raw beauty, tender grieving and finding a way to move on. Recorded entirely on tape in his bedroom and usually in one or two takes as the Arizona native/Nebraska transplant Foree is [...]
Have you heard Cleveland's Cloud Nothings have a new album out next Tuesday ? It was produced by Steve Albini. You may have heard of him. Maybe you read the interview where the Cloud Nothings' Dylan Baldi dished on Albini's Scrabble playing ways. It's also a rockier and edgier sound for a band who've made their name by playing carefree, lo-fi pop. Maybe you heard the first two tracks ( "Stay Useless" and "No Future/No Past" ) released from the forthcoming Attack on Memory. Or, maybe you've heard the album stream. That's out there, [...]

As usual every January, I've barely wrapped my head around the previous year while new songs and albums are emerging for what will likely make for another promising 12 months of music. The first song to grab my attention for the new year comes from the Yuma, Ariz.-born Shawn Foree (aka Digital Leather ), whose forthcoming full-length, Modern Problems , will be released Feb. 14 on FDH Records . The album is Foree's first since the death of his good friend Jay Reatard last January and, in his own words , "is [...]

On February 14th he'll be releasing Modern Problems on FDH Records , his follow-up to Warm Brother . As the name [...]
