Ghost of the Russian Empire - The Mammoth
From the guitar sound and effects to the indecipherable lyrics and tone quality of singer Brandon Whitten's voice, the Radiohead similarities are almost eerie. read more

I have steadily been adding good local links into my sidebar, so I figured I would let you all know about them. Austin is the top blogging market in the U.S. (followed closely by Portland, San Francisco, Seattle,) so it is no surprise that there are so many blogs in Austin worth taking a look at. I have put together a list of the local blogs that I frequent along with a brief description below, and if you have a link that you think should be included in this list be sure to let me know. Most of [...]

Another Great Band from AUSTIN, TX: I will be the first to admit this album review is long overdue. While "The Mammoth" is just now for sale - I've been listening to it almost daily for the last month or so. Beyond the compliment of frequent play, I can tell you this: Ghost of the Russian Empire is probably one of the most promising young indie rock band going these days. Ghost of [...]

Having lived there for most of the decade, I admit that I'm an Austin music junkie. When I got news of the new release by Ghost of the Russian Empire , I couldn't wait to hear it. Their 2006 EP With Fiercest Demolition , according to Brandon Whitten, lead singer and guitarist, "was really a love letter to our childhood heroes Jack Tripper and Captain Planet." Even so, it is a sonic maze, looping back and forth in style and sound. The Mammoth expands upon the varying sounds, making the album difficult to pigeon-hole into a [...]

Wie klingt es, wenn man die Doves und die neueren Radiohead zusammen musizieren lässt und über das Ergebnis eine Shoegazeschablone legt? Vielleicht wie Ghost of the Russian Empire , ein Quartett aus Austin in Texas, das seine ganz spezielle Variante des Post-Rock-inspirierten Indierocks spielt. Ähnlich wie Radiohead in den vergangenen Jahren werden uns auf dem Debütalbum «The Mammoth» , das demnächst erscheint, vertrackte Songstrukturen ohne Mitklatschrefrain angeboten, die vor allem durch ihre Atmosphäre gewinnen. Auch die Tracks der Debüt-EP aus dem Jahre 2006, die wir uns auf ihrer last.fm-Seite anhören [...]

Starting out, I was based in the live music capital of the world, Austin, Texas. There is a band worth checking out every night, from the big names playing Emo's or Stubb's to the locals cutting their teeth at The Parish or Mohawk. Here are some the best that I had to pleasure to notice. Most people know Spoon and Voxtrot . They are the darlings of the Austin indie scene. Instrumental sensations Explosions in the Sky are opening for Smashing Pumpkins. Okkervil River [...]

Myspace Band of the Week : My friend request box withstood some punishment this week with tons of fantastic requests. This week my choice was made thanks to a simple comparison in sound to another band I love. Ghost of the Russian Empire have a sound all too similar to Radiohead, which would explain why I've fallen in love with the band. It's sounds like Radiohead, but doesn't steal their sound but morphs into something new and all their own. The sound is built from quiet singing, exquisite guitar play, and solid work with the drums. They don't [...]

In the past, I have been letting you in on who is playing where around Austin, from the big boys to the guys from just up the road and giving a one line blip of what to expect, if even that. Time to shake things up a bit. I will still mention what is worthy (in my opinion) of seeing, but I will also take a few of the locals playing during the week that, from what I heard and read, impressed me and fill in a little more detail about them. There is [...]
