One of the best kept secrets in improv music is hidden in Boston: the huge rotating cast of characters performing under the guidance of bassist Mike Rivard, the collective known as Club d’Elf . The music is earthy, rhythmic, hypnotic, spacey, groovy, funkydubnasty, but while various formations of drummers, keyboard players, guitarists, horn players, djs, and if you’re lucky, Oud player Brahim Fribgane, make short tours every now and again, for the most part, that music is only produced at The Lizard Lounge in Cambridge. Luckily, Rivard is generous with his ever-evolving experiment, which will celebrate its 15th anniversary [...]
Even after year of it’s release She & Him are still pushing their holiday record A Very She & Him Christmas . In this animated clip for “Baby It’s Cold Outside”, M.Ward is down on his luck, but Zooey is there to save the day. The animated beauty drugs up his glass of wine and sends him through a psychedelic world filled with candy canes and mistletoes. I can dream this happens to me in real life one day. If you needed anymore reassurance of Zooey’s ability to sing [...]

Check out the the stuff below from the respective projects.

Club d'Elf has just released a new and stunning double-album, Electric Moroccoland/So Below (Face Pelt), where jazz, freeform [...]

From the kind of depressing Wikipedia page on the character, "Figwit": Bret McKenzie, half of the musical comedy duo Flight of the Conchords and a Wellington native, first landed [...]
