Fiveng - Sailing My buddy Fiveng sent me a new track this week called "Translucence" off his newly released single. It's an amazing track that... (Visit my blog for more!)
First time to hear from Fiveng in a year; he passed on this silky-smooth track "Translucence". A bulbous beat-driven track with his signature free-flowing, airy vibes. He is to be self-releasing this single, head over to his bandcamp if you're interested in checking out the b-side. Fiveng - Translucence previously: Fiveng - Jonah
So, I've just been hit with the news that I'm going to have to wait until 2012 to hear a new record from Revolver . Sad. Sad, but not quite as sad as the fact that the band will be touring the States this Fall with fellow Frenchies Chateau Marmont , but bypassing the Twin Cities. Very sad. Of course, knowing I'm one of their most avid supporters on this side of the pond, Revolver is trying to make things right. They stuck in their thumb and pulled [...]

This record will incorporate the vast variety of music being performed here in this city by a group of very talented musicians who are making their mark across the globe. The goal of this project is to bring together music communities by releasing compilations across the nation. To help us do this we will ask a influential bloggers/musicians/tastemakers [...]

Double Denim Records just let me know about a Star Slinger / Hard Mix split 73 that will be out February 7th. They're only printing 300 copies of the album, so you need to pre-order your copy while they last. Don't forget to check Star Slinger on tour with Baths / Braids all February.

The brilliant bliss pop compositions by San Francisco one-man band, Fiveng, are immediately infectious, especially for fans of Animal Collective and the long, long list of artists and bands that have made a name for themselves in the so-called chillwave genre; a genre that has quickly become one of the most popular and innovative styles [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
A Bay Area Electronic Pop Mixtape (Podcast #235) In compiling this mix of new and recent music from eleven San Francisco Bay Area-based artists, I've searched in vain for a singular theory to explain the recent proliferation of local electronic pop. Does the tech-heavy business climate here mean techier indie musicians, geeking out on synth sequencing and effects? Or are the Bay's bedroom pop songwriters employing more electronics as it continues to get easier to manipulate software synths to create satisfying layers of sound? Most likely, there's no single answer to explain [...]
I was originally going to write about my recent obsession with Twin Shadow , including his video for Castles In The Snow , but have also spent the last few days watching everything by the video's director, Jamie Harley . This Parisian artist uses found footage to create videos for some of the artists (including Memory Tapes , Fiveng , and Memoryhouse ) that he writes about on Schmooze , a blog he [...]
Fiveng is an artist based in San Francisco who just released a single on blog/label Beachtapes ' new imprint. He's been making waves since last February, and I'm just starting to get into his electro-pop sound. You can download most of his material for free on his bandcamp . Fiveng - Easy Fiveng - Give Me A Taste Fiveng - Jonah (Star Slinger Remix)
On commence avec un tube : Blue Steel par les français de Bot'Ox . Certifié qualité française... Reading Rainbow soit Robbie et Sarah Gee de Philadelphie, un duo garage rock qui sait s'amuser... Nicholas Ng aka Fiveng lui aussi s'amuse dans [...]
Fiveng - Easy De som följer den popkulturella utvecklingen kan nog gissa sig till hur denna sång låter, genom att bara titta på bilden ovan. Den senaste tiden har det som kallas drömpop dominerat den så kallade indiemusiken och det är just vad man kallar även denna musik. Filter på röster, filter på allt i en tjock men samtidigt lättsam melodi. Denna bjuder även, ibland, på lite pampiga trummor. Stundtals känns just denna musik lite substanslös, det låter bra, men kanske inte erbjuder så mycket mer. Samtidigt krävs det inte alltid något mer än [...]
Cali's Fiveng continue to impress with their newest free single for "Easy" (which features a solid b-side in "Skin"), a track that ramps up the intensity. It's... [go to the website to read the rest of the article, download mp3s and more]
Fresh from creating the stunning visuals for the new Museum Of Bellas Artes jam , our favourite Parisian director of lost and found footage is back with yet another stunning creation. This time around, Jamie Harley has created not one, but two videos for the very same song: Fiveng's 'Easy' (which is available as a free download via the consistently rad Beachtapes ). Head to fiveng.bandcamp.com to download 'Easy' b/w 'Skin' which features the instantly recognisable artwork of one Jheri Evans, blogger at Get Off The Coast and Altered Zones . [...]
Fiveng = Easy I was listening to this last night, and just soaking in the bouncing melodies of Fiveng . I had heard wind of these videos, and am so excited to see their release today. Also commendable, is the fashion and class in which Beachtapes released this gem. This release is a perfect example of how I think all releases should go. An artist ( Fiveng ) hooks up with a legitimate DIY label ( Beachtapes ) to release some really good music. An amazing appreciator/artist (Jheri from GOTC ) [...]
