With a sound that walks the line between dream pop and chill wave, New York producer Richard Cupolo has created a memorable debut that's become a favorite of ours. His debut record isn't due out until May 15th, but you can still preview it in all of it's grandeur in our review from earlier this month . Ahead of all this, we were able to catch up with Cupolo to find out a little about his background, plans for a tour, and if there was anything in the works to expand City Society into more [...]

Last weekend, I ventured north of San Francisco to Mendocino, a rocky coastline peppered with redwood forests, lighthouses, and breathtaking views of the frigid (and beautifully violent) Pacific. The further I felt from my daily life in San Francisco, the more relaxed and introspective I became. I don't know if I'd go as far as saying "out of sight, out of mind," but sometimes the only way to really clear your head is to physically get away. Unfortunately, we don't always have that luxury. So I'm hoping that this week's edition of Sunday Night Chill will transport you [...]
by Tiana Feng Originally I thought I was going to miss part of Saturday night's Wavelength 13 line-up because I had to catch a bus home and work the next morning. However, I stayed the entire night, which resulted in me needing to wake up at 7 am to make it to work but it was totally worth it. As the audience was trickling in from late streetcars, Bernice took the stage delivering some unique [...]
London duo Cloud Boat are something of a singular proposition, in that they arouse that raw emotivity of post-rock, and relocate its wistful tones and typically sepia hues to the barren desolation of much so-called post-dubstep stuff. Schoolmates and frequent touring buds of he who once regurgitated The Wilhelm Scream, that latter part is therefore of little wonder although as Blake appears to be stuttering somewhat of late , the pair to comprise Sam Ricketts and Tom Clarke continue to chart stupefyingly nebulous realms. And although they've here again set coordinates for that same feel, they're [...]
Digging up rare, awesome or obscure tracks… It's takes a minute and a half of patience to hear why "A Tender History in Rust" is such a beautiful piece of music, but those early seconds of ephemeral noise give way to the most harmonic, delicate guitar playing; a melody that lingers and lingers and lingers... Très magnifique. "Rust" closes out the a-side of You, You're a History in Rust (2007) from Toronto's almost-all-instrume ntal band, Do Make Say Think . Right-Click + Save Link As: [...]
![[MEGA Playlist] 60+ Instrumental Tracks You Need to Listen to](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4741497_lg.jpg)
Everyone loves lyrics. Whether they're light-hearted and playful, soul-gripping and gut-wrenching, or abstract and avant garde, we all love to sing along, relate certain verses to our personal lives, or just be taken away by another person's story. On the other hand, hearing a great instrumental track is an entirely different experience. Without having words to identify with, your brain is free to let the music create an image in your mind. The interpretation is more so up to you than if you had someone defining it with their own words. Having this blank canvas allows your mind [...]
Down by the wharfs on the Oudegracht - the old canal in Utrecht, Holland - Charles Spearin and Justin Small of the Canadian post rock band Do Make Say Think talked to us for the third installment of our exclusive video series from Le Guess Who? Festival. The band had just come off a series of shows performing their classic album Goodbye Enemy Airship for their record label Constellation Records when they hit Tivioli Oudegracht in Utrecht to perform their first regular set in a bit. Their muscular instrumentation, stripped down to just five original [...]

Ali Biddell It hadn't occurred to me until just now, but there's a bit of a parallel between this site, right here, and Wavelength . They got a couple years' head start on me, but both of us spent a solid decade servicing the Toronto independent music community - Wavelength with a weekly concert series that helped introduce the city and the world to much of the amazing music being produced in the 416 and 905, and chromewaves by, um, going to shows and taking pictures. Okay, perhaps the scale is a little different, but both of us also [...]
It wasn't until the mid-'00s that Canadian independent music began to really make waves this side o' the pond. Broken Social Scene – the rather ironically entitled moniker to Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning's all-encompassing collective – had already released three full-lengths, the '05 eponymous third of which picked up umpteen plaudits here as well as being certified Gold over yonder, selling over 50,000 copies. Indeed, the duo's artistically embracive vehicle united members from such esteemed likes as Stars, and Metric, and Leslie Feist, and Reverie Sound Revue, and Do Make Say Think , and so forth. Startling records [...]

Do Make Say Think share a previously-unreleased excerpt from their performance at 20102s Toronto International Film Festival Lightbox events, composing and performing a live score to Eric von Stroheim's 1924 silent film Greed.
Colin Medley This here is another of those posts that, were it a category on Jeopardy , would be called "Potpourri" on account of it being a whole lot of this and that with only the passports of the artists mentioned in common. And I'll start with Toronto's METZ because, well, I haven't used one of their photos yet and my posting process is really that random. The trio has been making a lot of noise - literally and figuratively - on the back of their self-titled debut , and while it [...]
The seminal tag is one that has been stitched into the reminiscences of all too many an LP of late. So commonplace is its usage that the adjective is now often utilised to ultimately define records without refute, some of which have only been about for a scant scattering of year. It's a catastrophic shame; a disagreeable bastardisation of the English language, as it seems to ensure that certain albums in few ways enduring engage for a far more protracted period than they perhaps ought, thereby frequently overshadowing works of a superior, if consequently suppressed craft. Goodbye [...]

Canadian industrial post-rock band Do Make Say Think are set to perform their classic sophomore album Goodbye Enemy Airship The Landlord Is Dead on November 27th at the Electric Ballroom in London. This will take place as part of ATP's 'Don't Look Back' series . To celebrate the occasion, Constellation Records have released an exclusive live track recorded during 2010's Toronto International Film Festival's Lightbox Event. On the unreleased cut, the band improvise a live score set to Eric von Stroheim's 1924 silent film 'Greed'. Listen to the track below. [...]
keine ahnung, warum ausgerechnet münchen in den genuss kommt. denn derzeit wird die bayerische landeshauptstadt in möglichst vielen tourplänen außen vor gelassen. was zum teil sehr ärgerlich ist, weil uns schmankerl durch die lappen gehen. letztlich aber ist es die quittung für leere und/oder stimmungsblasse clubs. da muss sich der alpenindianer schon selbst auch an die nase fassen. doch constellation records lässt münchen mitfeiern, wenn es an die parties zum 15 - jährigen bestehen des mit "ausgezeichnet" zu prämierenden labels aus montreal geht. kleine festivals und sogenannte labelnights werden mit hauseigenen künstlern [...]
