I'm not sure when this happened, but apparently Fol Chen is no longer playing the Firebird on July 22 with Liars . Don't worry the show will go on as Liars headline the show with John Wiese opening. I'm a bit bummed since I'm really curious to see what this act looks like live (they wear masks and use aliases). Fol [...]

Yet to be mistaken for Foals' Yannis Philippakis, his doppelganger and leading man of Californian (experi)mentalists Fol Chen Samuel Bing talks Williamsburg fault, five vocalists and broken vacuum orchestras... Dots: On first listen Fol Chen may not come across as the most coherent of lo-fi pop masterpieces, yet following repeated exposure it's exasperatingly evident that a masterpiece is just what Part I: John Shade, Your Fortune's Made is. Were you shocked at yourselves to some extent with the off-kilter unfiltered pop that wound up on there? [...]

Drowning in music. There are a few ways to imagine what that could mean, but in our case, it's purely about the amount of amazing music that has been sent to us over the past couple of months, but which has been put in a holding pattern because so many freaking stellar records have been [...] Related posts:Recent Releases We Almost Missed, Vol. II: Screaming Females, Prizzy Prizzy Please, Fictionist, Fresh and Onlys, Adam Green, Roadside Graves Recent Releases We Almost Missed, VIII: Vita Ruins, Lou Barlow, Communist Daughter, Cary Ann Hearst, Apollo Ghosts, Holy Ghost Recent Releases [...]

Fol Chen : In Ruins La vidéo. Single extrait de Part II: The New December , disponible depuis le 22 juin.

The summer kicks off with a bit of a slow release week. I am pretty fired up about the new Stars album and Fol Chen's Part II: The New December is an interesting release to be sure. Take a gander at the rest of the new releases and try some out below. Those of you in the St. Louis area tonight should stop by the Schlafly Tap Room for a night of wonderful [...]

Fol Chen's wasteland in "In Ruins" is more man-made but an Icelandic volcano will work. Actually, considering Iceland's economic woes it's sorta apropos. This is one of our top singles at the 2010 halfway mark (more on that later this week) and the video is worthy.
In April, we dutifully dispensed "In Ruins," the teaser track from "Part II: The New December," the forthcoming sophomore album by L.A. art-poppers Fol Chen . Cool, percussive stuff with vaguely melancholy overtones. Well, the song's nothing compared to the video. Director Chris Wilcha ("This American Life") ventured to Iceland to film near Eyjafjallajökull, the volcano that kicked ash and fouled air travel this spring. Masked youth wander the wasteland; dust abounds; it makes you wish the Fol Chen lyric went "wandering around the hills tonight" instead of "streets." The album is out [...]

Fol Chen recruited Chris Wilcha to direct their new video for "In Ruins," which sends the This American Life director to Eyjafjallajökull with two Icelandic youths as they visit the volcanic site. It's a haunting trip to an area that is usually a lush green.

Having been to Bristol and Nottingham respectively for the last two days it is now the turn of Manchester to stage this event of music new and old.
This week was one of those weeks that's puts things into context. Covering music is a bitch. Between Sasquatch! , Arcade Fire , Belle & Sebastian , The National , Smashing Pumpkins , and all the festival lineup announcements , I think I speak for everyone here at CoS when I say we're a bit tired. And that's even after a four-day work week. So, while we catch our breath, use this time to check out the following mix of music's best new singles, covers, and remixes, along with mp3s from some up-and-comers you [...]
