It's safe to say that a majority of our readers are quite familiar with the musical history of Port Chester, New York's Capitol Theatre . Built in 1926 and designed by the architect Thomas W. Lamb, who also designed the United Palace Theater in Upper Manhattan, the theater may be most famous for hosting the Grateful Dead an astonishing 18 times during an 11-month period, but also saw just about every major and influential music act grace its stage from Pink Floyd, Traffic, Joe Cocker and Janis Joplin (who played her next-to-last show there) in the early 19702s to [...]
Earlier this week, Dinowalrus dropped a track from their upcoming LP, Best Behavior , which is set to be released on March 6th, 2012 via Old Flame Records . Best Behavior was recorded over the past two years with Nadim Issa and Matt Walsh (of The Forms ), and features drumming from The Depreciation Guild 's Anton Hochheim. On this, their second LP, band has narrowed their focus in order to create synthy jangle rock in the vein of the Madchester sound. This track has a brief cameo [...]
Released November 7th by Tech-champion label, Form Music , Double Tap EP features the superb joint-efforts of groove-king Jay Lumen and funk-guru Sinisa Tamamovic . The EP consists of two tracks, 'Yeah Mann' and 'Double Tap'. Both tunes include full-sounding, bouncy bass lines that'll have any listener head-bumpin' and chair-ravin' like a pro. 'Double Tap' has a jumpy, straight two and four sample riding on top, that in my opinion, gave this tune its name. 'Yeah Mann' is a bit more smoother, with syncopated voice samples that command your attention, and [...]

This February, Pitchfork Media will bring a new festival to the five boroughs. Focusing on the intersection of music, art and gaming, Forms seeks to promote collaboration between artists that might not ordinarily interact and to create a space that existing conferences have yet to provide. The work of musicians, visual artists, and videogame designers will be presented throughout the city, in venues not necessarily typical of the content: "bands in galleries, artists in clubs, games everywhere in between," according to the announcement on Pitchfork's website. Pitchfork is partnering with music promoter The Bowery Presents, with participation from [...]
For the last seven years, influential music website Pitchfork has curated an eclectic multi-day music festival in their hometown of Chicago, IL, while later this month they will present their first festival overseas in Paris. Yesterday, the New York Times Arts Beat blog broke the news that P4K would be expanding its empire to the Big Apple, where they already have offices, this winter by teaming up with the folks at Bowery Presents for a new multi-day fest that they are dubbing Forms . Scheduled to take place from February 1-4 at Bowery booked venues [...]
Throughout the course of the 4 full-length albums released by Sweden-based ambient group, Carbon Based Lifeforms, we've seen an impressive compilation of music; the diversity of which lies in the details rather than stylistic approach. And though their third release, Interloper, seemed to indicate a departure from the largely beat-less syrup of sonic soup, their most recent long-play release, Twentythree , clearly marks a definitive return to the days of Hydroponic Garden. (2003) Through a calculated, precise and economical use of sonic space, band members, Johannes Hedberg and Daniel Segerstad sculpt soundscapes that – for [...]

Como habitual, fica por cá o resumo do que de mais importante se passou na minha página alternativa do Facebook. A semana musical uma vez mais começou um bocado tarde, embora com bons motivos para mantermos o sorriso pelas nossas faces, pois Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks estão de regresso em 2011 com o novo álbum 'Mirror Traffic' e com o single de avanço, "Tigers" (ver texto). Quem também regressa

Os norte-americanos The Forms lançaram um EP, 'Derealization', que não é mais que uma colectânea de alguns dos seus temas mais fortes de álbuns anteriores, mas que trazem algumas novidades, quanto mais não seja, um novo arranjo de algumas músicas do passado recente. A grande novidade é que o tema "Fire to the Ground" traz a inconfundível voz de Matt Berninger (The National) em vez da voz do
