Here's a little mixtape I did with my pal Pat Lok for our new monthly party Daft Funk in Vancouver. We skipped this month but made the mix anyway. If I had turntables and access to high speed internet in 1992 this is the mixtape I would have made for that hot snooty girl in math class with the Guess? sweatshirt who rode horses on Sundays and had elite member status at the tennis club. Daft Funk is a free dance party at the Electric Owl showcasing old school house, diva funk jams, obscure boogie cuts and snotty [...]

Led by Andy Herod (formerly of the Comas ) Electric Owls are based out of Asheville (NC), and fuse elements of Americana with synth, drum machine, and newer technologies to form something distinct that stands out from the rest of the pack. Their EP, Cullowhee Songs , is available for purchase through their website . I am really digging the free single, When I Was The Flood . Check it out: Electric Owls – When I Was The Flood [mp3] from Cullowhee Songs [...]
Brooklyn seems to be a breeding ground for musicians, but it wasn't until Andy Herod fled the concrete confines of NYC to Asheville, NC that he started to experiment under the moniker Electric Owls and create songs for his debut EP, Cullowhee Songs . His edgy pop is most definitely a product of his surroundings as you will hear on Today's Top Tune ? Annatennae .?
Andy Herod was always one of my favorites, especially when he fronted the Comas . Now, he's still working on his latest project, Electric Owl s . They combine a lot of his rootsy folk elements with flourishes of electronics. The band has just released the new Cullowhee Songs EP on Vagrant , which features members of Band of Horses and other Comas remnants. Herod always had this way of connecting with me as a listener, and based on [...]
Another quietish week on the post-front, sorry. Hoping for more time this week. Here's this week's Monday Music: Bikini - ACheerlaeder ( mp3 ) That's not a spelling mistake and you'll soon see why. This is a song for lo-fi electro freaks, for rooms illuminated by blue lightbulbs, for men in masks, for empty train carriages, for house parties when you realise all your friends left hours ago. [There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.] Hot [...]
Lord Huron This is some mellow mellow music. Lord Huron uses the hollow distance of reverb almost instrumentally, allowing the harmonies and up tempo guitars to play off of each other while the echo grounds the full sound. Instead of using the effect to carry the arrangements into ethereal wafts the tracks on the new EP Mighty are assertive adventures through many many layers of sound - particularly on the title piece. If you're in need of music to get lost in or distract a busy mind look no further. [...]

Lately, the jams Jude prefers center on banjo. But to be honest, the traditional banjo sound (unless plucked by Phil Cook , apparently) won't hold his interest. He's fucking five, yo. He needs something to interest his little brain and the banjo instrumental to 'I Shall Not Be Moved' just isn't good enough, no matter what his mother (ahem) tells him. The first time I played this pretty rad new jam from the Electric Owls he was sort of nonchalant about the whole ordeal but this morning, when I asked what he'd like to hear today his [...]
When I Was a Flood Electric Owls' new Cullowhee Songs EP will be released on Vagrant on Nov 9 digitally and on vinyl via the band's website ( www.ElectricOwls.com ). If you are unfamiliar with them, Electric Owls is a side project lead by Andy Herrod of The Comas. The first single off of the EP is When I Was a Flood , and it reminds me of the sound Freelance Whales, a blend of electronic and folk elements (banjo in this case.) The Electric Owls project, recorded in Asheville, NC with Herrod, [...]
