>> Alta Mira heretofore in these electronic pages warranted only a sidelong mention as billmates with local dream pop heroes The Hush Now at PA's Lounge a year ago . But we enjoyed their set and made a mental note to keep an eye on them, and we're glad we did, as the Clifton Park, NY-based indie rock concern has just released to the wilds of the Internerds one of the most delightful songs of the year, a rare, perfect pop song. "Good Enough" delivers bright guitar pop smoothed over lightly percolating bass [...]

I can't believe it's already mid-December and already time for top 10s of 2011. This year has been a complete blur. In putting this post together, I completely forgot about so much music that came out this year. I'm sure it's no surprise that I've reformatted this list numerous times. I have left out some previous top 10 favorites (Digitalism, Washed Out, Korallreven, among others) as their records all kind of lost their spark for me. Top honors this year goes to "Weathering" by Epic45 . I absolutely adore this record! On first [...]
Destello from Ivan Villafuerte on Vimeo . A certain juxtaposition of image and sound that gets into just the right zone of resonance and removal: videos by Ivan Villafuerte , stumbled on while researching d_rradio . The above features "The Atomium - Part Two" by Stars of the Lid and "Early Evening Reverie" by Auburn Lull. More of the vision thing: "Still In A Storm" and "Death Of The Fair Green Veil" by d_rradio Opsin from Ivan Villafuerte on [...]

Neotectónica DESCARGAR Multiupload . DOWNLOAD Multiupload . DESCARGAR Mediafire . DOWNLOAD Mediafire En este Neonatus trataremos la tectónica musical actual, las actividades sísmicas y geológicas que se están llevando a cabo en el planeta tierra. La música se mueve como las placas tectónicas, lenta pero incansablemente creando nuevos continentes, haciendo emerger tierra de los océanos, engullendo placas, eructando volcanes de nueva roca ígnea que alguna vez fue otro material pero debido a las densas presiones y altas temperaturas acabaron en magma que [...]

Ya know, we featured Surfer Blood three months ago, long before Pitchfork, Spin or any of the other slackers claimed them as their own. We're not saying every song here is the next big thing, but there's some great stuff in this weeks' edition of "music that avoided going in the trashbin". Ceremony? We heart you..... a lot! Ceremony- Someday The Electric Pop Group- The Way It Used To Do Illness- Baneface Epic45- We Were Never Here Light In [...]

and without further ado, here's volume 2. this one picks up at 1994 and ends in 2007 with the slo-core bliss-out of epic45. i should point out that these two mixes focus on the "experimental" side of post rock. a primer on the sturm und drang noisy side (mogwai etc.) is coming soon. ::: main - rail ::: pram - life in the clouds ::: hair & skin trading company - * ::: 'o'rang - little brother ::: navigator - driving bell ::: state river widening - unsung couples ::: third eye foundation - [...]

Een genre waar je in moet zitten wil je wat artiesten, bandjes of dergelijke DJ's ontdekken; ambient-progressive-post-rock- ofzo. Laat ik het voor het gemak epische herfst muziek noemen waar de melodieën het verhaal vertellen, in plaats van de teksten en terugkerende coupletjes en refreintjes. Port-Royal heeft hun tweede album uit; Dying in Time. Hier is de videoclip van het liedje met de briljante titel: Balding Generation (Losing Hair As We Lose Hope). De clip ziet er helaas uit alsof deze is bedacht door een stel pretensieuze theater studenten. Met dit soort muziek hoef je [...]

Gig Of The Week: Orbital @ Brixton Academy Celebrating 20 years of recording activity, the Hartnoll brothers make their indoor live return this month - culminating in a pair of shows at Brixton Academy.

Elsewhere the London scene is coming back to life following its summer slumber. Check out the superb double header at the Queen of Hoxton on Tuesday - Epic45 and Piano Magic should be an [...]

Staffordshire based dream pop band Epic45 have announced the pre-order sale for their new mini album In All The Empty Houses which, according to the band, will go on sale 'soon'. According to the bands myspace, videos for the new album's tracks are also imminent at their website . The band have over 20 releases since 1995 and have built enough of a reputation to gain contributions from Simon Scott ( Slowdive and Televise ) and from newest member Paul Mannasseh . Their sound [...]
The Toy Library ( Myspace ) caught my ear as I was perusing through various ambient/experimental/soundscap e/electronica related Myspace pages (I could literally spend hours just bouncing from page to page - there's so much phenomenal music out there!). There's a very comforting lull in the music he (Rob Glover who is part of Epic45 , an equally impressive group) creates. Dreamily lush sounds slowly combine and culminate to invoke a sense of hynosis in the listener. The Toy Library - Cat Green Bike vs The Toy Library [...]

'Lounge' was vroeger in. Het werkt nog steeds als achtergrond deuntje in een koffiezaak, tijdens het maken van een werkstuk of tijdens een langzaam potje seks of als pauze tussen beukende muziek waar het alleen maar gaat om de bass. Hier echter geen Cafe Del Mar shit en Air en Boards of Canada kennen we nou wel: Clashing Ego's . Uit Eindhoven(!). Dit liedje steekt met kop en schouders boven de rest van hun album Rubicon uit: Aminjig Nebere (I trusted you) [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Lali [...]

Gig Of The Week: Release The Bats All Tomorrow Parties host the Hallow'een bash to end them all over two nights at Kentish Town's Forum. Headlined by Steve Albini's blistering Shellac, the undercard provides almost as much interest with Brooklyn's post-punkers Les Savy Fav, noisebastards Lightning Bolt and the excellent Wooden Shjips leading the way. Expect a no-limits party atmosphere, along with some audacious fancy-dressing! Shellac - Ghosts Les Savy Fav - Who Rocks The Party Wooden Shjips - Losin' Time [...]

it's suddenly got chilly here, which means i can finally shed the shorts and t-shirts and start layering up. right now i'm wrapped up in a thick jumper. i like winter clothes. they remind me of long walks in the country, gloves on and breath steaming; equally long waits at bus stops in the cold; warm pubs with warm bitter; dark monday mornings struggling into work. in my curent nostalgiac frame of mind, i miss all of these things equally. this onset of autumn requires a mix to celebrate. some bands immediately lend themselves to this topic (i'm [...]

back in the day, earworm was one the uk's most impressive and highly collectible record labels. like wurlitzer jukebox, it was one of those labels that out art before profit and therefore poured huge amounts of money into the coffers of gramofonove zavody and the like, with little hope of seeing much of it back. that said, earworm's catalogue features an impressive number of household names - that is if people like obscure indie bands in your household. we're talking bands like yo la tengo, bright eyes, fridge, of montreal, spacemen 3 and the [...]

Epic45 is Ben Holton and Rob Glover. Their latest album, 'May Your Heart Be The Map' was out earlier this year on the UK indie label Make Mine Music. Their music is mostly-instrumental glitchy electronica fused with acoustic sounds, a tad experimental yet accesible, with quite illustrative track titles. Definitely a record for the morningtime. A lovely way to start your day/your season of falling leaves. 3.5/5 . Epic45 - The Stars In Spring Epic45 - Winterbirds Epic45 - We Grew Up [...]
