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 [...]

Shawn Foree's been around for more than a minute, but it seems like things are just now starting to pick up for him. After the tragic death of his close friend Jay Reatard , Shawn's project Digital Leather looks to be picking up steam as he tried to replicate the work ethic of his late friend. On February 14th he'll be releasing Modern Problems on FDH Records , his follow-up to Warm Brother . As the name [...]

Digital Leather , will release the follow-up to Warm Brother via FDH on February 14th. You can check out the first track from "Modern Problems", "Young Doctors In Love" on the band's Myspace . The band will be touring next month in support of the release.
Género: Synth punk, rock. Shawn Foree es de Tucson, AZ, United States, quien se esconde tras Digital Leather , y Modern Problems será su duodécimo largo previsto para el 14 de febrero del 2012. Sí, han leído bien: doce. Y nos adelanta Young Doctors In Love , canción que aparece en su cassette Sponge y que encabezará el disco. Genuino sonido punk, que combinado con sintetizadores y construcción clásica rock, resulta una inspirada, vitalizante, visceral y deliciosamente sucia propuesta sonora. [...]
« En lieu et place de Jésus dans mon cœur, j'ai Jay Reatard. » Les mots sont de Shawn Foree pour Hear Nebraska et résument à eux seuls, le désappointement de celui qui, depuis la date fatidique du 13 janvier 2010 et le suicide de Jay Reatard, a perdu non seulement un ami mais aussi un manager, celui de son groupe à l'accent weird punk prononcé, Digital Leather . Consécutivement à une période de deuil, principalement passée à errer du côté de Berlin, Shawn Foree - après le LP Warm Brother sur Fat [...]
