Artist: Fang Island

Amanda M. Hatfield captured some glorious shots from yesterday's gig (in which Xiu Xiu & Deerhoof collectively covered Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures). Be sure to catch Xiu Xiu & Deerhoof on their joint NA journey. View all upcoming Pool Parties (at Williamsburg Waterfront) here. View many more photos & download a Xiu Xiu track AFTER [...]

So I didn't make out to any shows the first 10 days of July (including missing Real Estate TWICE and Beach Fossils yet again), and I'm looking to changing that. I've already missed The Roots and Talib Kweli show I was planning on going to, so I'm off to a bad start. Probably the show I want to go to the most over these next 10 days is the Small Black and Beach Fossils show (7/14), which is 21+ so I'm gonna let out a huge FUUUUCK to that shit. (Maybe one of those bands wants to guest list me??? [...]

Image courtesy of Jeff Denberg I'm officially bogarting this review. You heard me right, I'm bogarting this review, which is something I have never ever done in my life before. You're witnessing history here, folks. I'm clamoring to write about something that does not specifically benefit my self-interested bludgeoning. I'm bogarting something that is not a beer or a j. Wait. Scratch that. Seeing as last night's Flaming Lips show completely blew away anything I could have previously imagined in terms of concert theatrics, showmanship, and the lustre of [...]

I don't think I need to say much about Sargent House guitar demons and ATG favorites Fang Island.  The dudes tore up this year's SXSW and since then everyone and their mother has been raving about them.  The band just released a video for "Careful Crossers," another song from the prog-pop-rock masterpiece that is their self-titled album.  Not quite sure what's going on in this claustrophobic strobe and silly string orgy, but I want in on it.  Check out the video after the jump.

• Fang Island - Careful Crossers »

Before I change my mind again, here are my picks for the best ten albums of the year so far: Top 10: 10: Wolf Parade - Expo 86 It's no secret that I love Wolf Parade. Their debut was one of my absolute favorite albums of the past decade and their sophomore effort I found to be nearly as enjoyable. Their third record, Expo [...]

Music video for "Careful Crossers" by Fang Island from the band's 2010 self-titled debut.

I know nothing about Fang Island . I don't think I want to. This eponymous album, which I'm told is their second, tells me everything I need, and that ain't much. The front cover is a faded photo of what appears to be a fairy battling a robot-castle, while the names of tracks are hidden - barely visible on the CD itself - with the names of the band members themselves left anonymous. There’s no cult of personality about Fang Island because there doesn't have to be - this record is a straight-up riot. It [...]

3VOOR12:n kuuntelupisteeseen on kertynyt jälleen uutta kuunneltavaa. Osa näistä myös Spotifyssa . CEO: White Magic Tough Alliancesta tutun Eric Berglundin sivuprojektin ensimmäistä levyä voi lämpimästi suositella. Sopivasti mystiikkaa, pop-melodioita ja elektronisia rytmejä, jotka kaikki mahdutetaan alle puoleen tuntiin. Levyn päätteeksi kuullaan myös Suvivirsi uutena sovituksena. Fang Island: Fang Island Fang Islandin jo helmikuussa julkaistu debyyttilevy. Progressiivisempaa indierokkia.

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Like so many notable bands before them, Fang Island began as an art school project. More specifically, the band formed at the Rhode Island School of Design -- the same institution that provided a breeding ground for the Talking Heads (and Les Savy Fav and, to some extent, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs , and so on and so forth). But this weekend Fang Island will graduate with honors, in a manner of speaking, when they [...]

After quick examination, one might think we're falling in love with Pitchfork TV . Truth-be-told, we've never been offered a video premiere and since these guys have them all, we tend to post those. Ha. About this clip: " Fang Island began, oddly enough, as an art school project while the band members were attending the prodigious Rhode Island School of Design (also the foundation for Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Les Savvy Fav, Six Finger Satellite, Lightning Bolt and some band called the Talking Heads.) Today, Pitchfork premieres [...]

Enjoy 'Careful Crossers' below. Fang Island recently visited Dirty Laundry. MP3: Fang Island - Life Coach

My mother recently completed a graduate-level course on the subject of waste. She and her classmates visited landfills and processing plants, studied green architecture, and picked up lots of shocking factoids. (Did you know green-colored garden hoses have traces of lead in them? Did you know that you might have been accidentally poisoned as an infant with a mercury thermometer?) That being said, once she found out I would be attending the 2010 edition of Chicago’s Green Music Fest , she insisted that I learn everything I could and, while I was at it, pick up some biodegradable plastic [...]
