ihr gesang ist eine klage, ein narrativer versuch, ein beschwingtes scheitern. die stimme so wundervoll gelitten, gesegnet und spendet, was sie zu spenden hat, ein gottvertrauen, eine liebe. waidwund manchmal, selbstbewußt trotzig zu vielen anderen gelegenheiten. die lyrics oft kryptisch und von andeutungen lebend. die musikalie wie ein leichtes kleid, wie ein netz, auf dass man nicht ganz nackt dasteht. eine wimmernde orgel, eine manische elektronika, die sanfte akustische, treue, adjutierende begleiter. zwischen 2003 und 2009 hat man recht regelmäßig von elise percy gehört, dann war für zwei jahre stille. jedenfalls habe ich von meinem elfenturm aus nichts vernommen. in [...]

i like e.p. hall's music, made with voice and guitars. i like even more that the songs end up kinda damaged when she's done with them. i like how it's prettiness is skewed. i like that it's off-centeredness unbalances. i like it sometimes when wheels aren't reinvented just spun a slightly different way. i like this . e.p. hall Filed under: mp3 , music i listen to Tagged: e.p. hall , mechanical hands , [...]
Dan Coleman aka Spirit of '68 Promotions has been bringing great shows to Bloomington, IN and the surrounding area for the past few years.

Well this one is actually safe for work and is not the quickie some visitors might have been looking for when googling and finding yourself here. This is a quickie because I am currently in transition with home computers, waiting for delivery guys to deliver some furniture and hence I might only have a fleeting visit to the computer to dedicate to music today. I thought I would send you on your way into the meat of the weekend with a couple of tracks that I have been spinning lately and are tracks that I thought needed to [...]

As I have been sifting through stacks of local artists in Bloomington, I was taken aback when I heard E.P. Hall 's new album. Opening with the caw of a crow, Mommy Crow is a compelling twelve track that deserves the attention of listeners who enjoy thoughtful music. E.P. Hall is predominately the work of Elise Percy and Andy Goheen of Sticky and the Bees (Andy books shows at The Bishop). An acoustic album, [...]

endless endless endless : black talisman - this frankly is rather beautiful. in every way. handsomely packaged as some kind of laser etched shamanic artefact. and aurally the kindof shit that wouldn't sound out of place on not not fun or next to james ferraro's holy mountain output. self described as a post-noise duo that plays guitar and gameboys. i came expecting dj scotch egg instead i got a fountain of bliss. a balming wash of drawn out orgasmic whale noise, korgesque squelch and nes eight bit percussion. they inhabit a soothing [...]

As I've settled in to my new home in Bloomington , Indiana, I've been getting to know who the local artists are, going to shows, and sitting down with people involved in the local music scene. According to Andy Goheen ( Sticky and the Bees , E.P. Hall ) who organizes shows for The Bishop , Bloomington has over 500 bands. Shortly after moving here Nicole O'Neal ( Hipster Spinster ) asked me to co-host a radio show with her. We decided to call it [...]
