Philly native, Tara Burke's freak-folk project Fursaxa started back in 1999 after her previous band UN broke up. Since then, Burke has released 8 albums worth of material on various independent labels as well as self-releasing five more albums. Each of Fursaxa's songs has a haunting, alluring quality which puts listeners into a hypnotic trance. Burke's unique sound comes from her heavily layered vocal tracks, which combine beautifully with acoustic guitar and minimalist keyboards. Aside from her solo work with Fursaxa, Burke has also collaborated with fellow Philly freak-folkster and Espers' band member Helena Espvall [...]
I feel like we should all be jamming out to "Right Now" (and drinking Crystal Pepsi?), because this is the day we've all been waiting for. It's time to stop living in the past and start living in the moment: my annual list of the one-hundred best albums of 2010 is finally ready for you to feast your eyes on it. Look at it. Look at it how you would a naked slut as she spreads her legs for you. It's here for the taking. As is customary now, I've decided not to write blurbs for all 100 [...]
It was another great year in music. Again, like last year, I can't understand those who insists that 'nothing good happened in 20102, annoying hipsters. It was such a diverse year, full of brilliant gems. I won't go into charts and numbering, but here's a rough overview of the stuff I liked this year. Some of the [...]

Dass Musik euphorisierende und andere drogenhafte Wirkung haben kann, ist ja nichts neues. Vor den momentan ebenso beliebten wie umstrittenen I-Dose-Kicks wird aber abgeraten und wenn schon der Genuss natürlicherer Töne empfohlen. Generations- und kulturübergreifend scheinen Klang, Melodie und Rhythmus etwas zu bewirken, das nur schwer mit anderem vergleichbar scheint. Was aber seit Neustem unter dem I-Dose-Etikett als lärmender Ohrfick angepriesen wird, haben New Age-Gurus, Ambient- und Drone-Wizzards schon besser gemacht, als die heutige Zielgruppe noch (nicht mal) in die Windeln schiss. Experten und Beratungsstellen raten jedenfalls von der [...]
The stories in Paul Auster's classic 1995 film 'Smoke' swirl around magically, like the smoke itself, events emerging slowly from the ether... the music of Philadelphia-based Tara Burke aka Fursaxa is hasheesh cafes or incense-filled church doorways, but the brighter pastoral images evoked by the baroque instrumentation and medieval chanting of her earlier lo-fi homespun psychfolk 4-track recordings are often shrouded in darkness, gothic organ sounds punctuated with whooping primal screams. This free-folk is holy and mystical, the sound of a high priestess inducting her audience into magic, very witchy and esoteric. The interplay of sparse [...]
All the best tracks featured in Happy Days Are Here Again last month! MP3 1099 - Beauty Of The Night MP3 Phosphorescent - It's Hard To Be Humble (When You're From Alabama) MP3 Fursaxa - Sunhead Bowed MP3 Yuck - Georgia MP3 Akira Kosemura- Grassland MP3 Roommates - Back To The Sun / Girlfriend Swap MP3 All The Damn Kids [...]
L'aspetto più curioso e controverso del nuovo disco di Tara Burke è l'approccio. Lasciando da parte il periodo UN, già la distanza fra "Mycorrhizae Realm" (uscito ieri l'altro per ATP Recordings) ed il precedente "Kobold Moon" appare, se non abissale, importante. Dalla bassa fedeltà casalinga a tutti i costi ad un avvicinamento costante (e forse sofferto [...]
Fri 26th - the Cube , Bristol. Presented by Qu-Junktions ...Arrived half way through some films from Fonal label owner - Sami Sanpakkila. Powder-flake snowscapes, an erased face running through the white, trees nebula like to the sky, drawing slow mo circles, then moving on to explorations of Kemialliset Ystavat burning the midnight oil - All available space littered in wires/pedals [...]
How camp is that statue? I took that photo last year in Tampere, on my pilgrimage to the home of the wonderful Fonal label. If you haven't been, I can recommend the trip - Tampere is a lively place, with a bustling arts scene, fascinating museums (the Moomin and Lenin ones are [...]
WFMU presents Selected Sounds from the Free Music Archive vol. 1 . This compilation previews 21 of the thousands of tracks that'll be freely available under Creative Commons licenses when the fully interactive Free Music Archive website launches this November. We're working with a group of fellow curators to fill the library with great music, and this sampler represents a piece of what WFMU brings to the table. We'll be handing out free copies of the CD at the July 4th Sonic Youth/Feelies show (we're lending special support as [...]
Another haunted offering of ritualistic wooded folk from Tara Burke's Fursaxa. This time landing on her own Sylph imprint, Kobold Moon freezes your lungs with more of Burke's mausoleum wails. The album swirls with slow-motion ghost dances and fogged forest floor tones, at times alternating with Tara's own possessed brand of spoken word incantations, bringing to mind late night coven gatherings. This is probably the best I've heard from Fursaxa since Lepidoptera , and her burlapped voodoo moans still drip with enough fresh altar blood to entrance even the most casual listener. I believe these may be [...]
Philadelphia's got a lot to be proud of. According to Philly Boy Roy , well there's hoagies, Rocky, Frank's Soda, them Eagles, Dead Milkmen, them Hooters, and laser GG Allin. With Mr. Ziegler's endorsements duly noted, what follows is a sampling - by no means comprehensive - of some of the other Philadelphia artists you'll be able to hear on WFMU's Free Music Archive . Mp3s from Bad News Bats, Boogie Witch, Clockcleaner, Fursaxa, King Kong Ding Dong, Mincemeat or Tenspeed, Mountain High, The Original Sins, Phil Moore Browne, Sonic Liberation Front, The [...]

1. Panda Bear - Person pitch ( Paw tracks ) MP3: Take pills Despite its psychedelic density and abuse of looping techniques and reverb, Person pitch rarely sounds willfuly complex or menacing and is ultimately a frothy and gorgeous pop record that keeps on revealing the more you dive into it. Noah Lennox has achieved something magical with this album and it's truly worthy of every accolade heaped upon it. 2. Radiohead - In rainbows ( self released [...]
Philadelphia's Tara Burke weaves freaky medieval harmonies, and space-age instrumental soundtracks out of multitracked voice, guitar, organ and fairy dust... strange magick indeed.
It's Friday and it's time for another installment of Live Catch, Beware Of The Blog's weekly guide to live music in WFMU's New York/New Jersey broadcast area. A bunch of great bands are playing tonight at the Silent Barn . Finnish D.I.Y. weirdos Avarus, who played live on Brian Turner's show last year , are back in town for the evening. Member Jan Anderzen also performed live on his own back in 2005. Rounding out the bill are fellow WFMU live room alums Watersports [...]
What is that thing? That (my friends) is a cicada and right now in the Chicago area they are everywhere . There are places (such as where the pictures here were taken) that you can find up to 1.5 million of these insects per acre. (1.5 million!) Luckily for us here in northern Illinois, these cicadas are of the genus of 17 year periodical cicadas of eastern North America called magicicadas . They are often called the "seventeen-year locust", but they are not locusts. [...]
