Brown Bread - Birds Sometimes simple in art moves mountains. So I bring forth to you the one manned woman of Brown Bread out of Astoria, New York. Her latest EP Is Dead brings a formidable and less hazy Grouper, who we love here at brokenheartboy. The stark echo chamber vocals are there, somewhere between Grouper [...]
Numa tentativa de condensar o que de mais importante se passou na minha página alternativa do Facebook, a ver se consigo garantir, de forma semanal, fazer um pequeno resumo das mais variadas músicas que por lá deixei a tocar, para além do impacto que tiveram perante as pessoas que curtem a página. A semana começou com o famoso Dia de São Valentim, onde os My Bloody Valentine, que dispensam
Video: Vimeo - YouTube . Photos: Flickr . Free mp3 downloads: zip file (right click - save as). We actually recorded this Toad Session in the Queen Charlotte Rooms in Leith before the Song, by Toad Christmas Party back in December. Partly this was because it seemed like a fun thing to do, and partly because swapping our traditional and rather overpowering turquoise backdrop for their Christmas lights and tinsel. Also, we had six different [...]
Child hood nostalgia haunts me daily. Spirit Spine is Indiana-native Joseph Denney. His third album on Lovegiraffe Records, Glossolalia tries to replicate just that. As stated in his press release, Gloassolalia means "the religious practice of speaking in tongues." That couldn't be more dead on. The album is filled with nostalgic echo's like in "Mission Bells" where [...]

Saw this on No Fear Of Pop the other day and it struck a chord with my ears. Petra Schelm is the project's pseudonym and I cant really describe the meaning much better than NFOP did: Ohio resident Mollie Wells of Funerals chose the name of a misguided young girl that had joined the predecessor of the infamous, faux-marxist terrorist collective Red Army Fraction , ending up with a bullet in her forehead after speeding through a police roadblock in Hamburg on July 15, 1971 " Familiar sounds with [...]
Here at brokenheartboy, we love DIY artist musicians. A new one that fits the bill is strangely out of Savannah, Georgia and goes by the name Lady Lazarus. She is the better Lady, and if you're thinking what I'm thinking, then yes, she is named after the Sylvia Plath poem. Her latest album of bedroom [...]
Though there isn't much more than a blurb on this but Grouper, the electro-acoustic, ambient noise project of musician Liz Harris announced on her very mystical website, that A I A, the much anticipated new album, will be a two part vinyl and self released in early 2011. A repressing of Inca Ore/Grouper Split will happen [...]

MP3: Grouper - Sick It's totally one of those drone/sludge days, so enjoy the b-side on a recent & out of print 7 inch from Grouper . Enjoy.

New track from Women - who may or may not still be a band - taken from a limited new split 73 with Friendo, Fair Ohs + Cold Pumas , out now on Faux Discx . ____________ elsewhere : Grouper has announced a new "two part vinyl" LP: look for A I A to be self-released by [...]
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 [...]

[RSS Readers: See post to listen to audio] An oldie but a goodie, Madlib manhandles music from India into the heavy beat that I love in hip hop these days. I had a good weekend night at Bunker in Brooklyn this past Friday, some great Detroit DJs showed up and that opened a tiny door back up in my heart for few techno classics to jump back into my life. Some smooth workings by Diskjokke, let this ride out, it unfolds nicely. Took a hour long car ride with Benoit [...]

In its (first) ten years, the Australian Room40 label has built up an impressively diverse catalogue of experimental music; it would be asking too much for this year's Open Frame event, held for the second year at its spiritual home-from-home Cafe Oto, to do justice to that breadth. There was no place for Japanese avant-pop this year, or for abstract sound recordings, for example. Instead, the first night focused on the more improvisational end of their output, featuring percussionist Andrea Belfi, a quintet made up of the I/O3 trio with David Toop and Scanner, and Necks pianist Chris [...]

I am Geoff, you are reading a blog I write. Interspersed within that blog is our podcast, called SomaCow. Give it a listen, yeah? So, I have been trying to eat more healthy, grilling instead of frying, using leaner meats instead of steak, and eating craptons of veg. I have found myself nearly obsessed with fish. I have never met a food that so divides people, the line in the sand being held by lovers, and haters. My wife was a hater, once, but I think she is coming around nicely. Slowly, over time, [...]

Words by Jacob Barron I don't think any other season boasts the ambiguity that fall does. I mean, winter's just depressing and spring and summer are pretty much the Paris and Nikki Hilton of temperate seasonal shifts. Fall is its own bittersweet beast, and begs to be soundtracked by commensurately bittersweet tunes. As summer ends, barbeques become ever more impractical, and summer's greenery gives way to the creeping orange death, I guarantee these "autumn" albums (or "autumnbums") can help carry you all the way to winter, or your money back. They've done so [...]

Watching Clouds In The Distance On Monday, September 27, Liz Harris is returning to New Zealand to play two shows with support from her friend Stefan Neville (Pumice). Ahead of the tour I asked her to explain her often darkly lit, visually enticing live show; how touring with Animal Collective affected her live set-up and about the unusually morbid themes that run through her music. Grouper and Pumice; Can you tell me how you and Stefan [...]
GROUPER -- Hold by ROOM40 Buy it here .

Let's slow things down a little today. Didn't Tuesday feel like it should have been a Thursday this week? Everyone close your eyes, take a deep breath and mellow out to this song by Grouper . I had a professor in college who would start every class with 5 minutes of meditation and she would play something off the Pure Moods album every time. Remember those ads ? Did you know that the theme from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was on that thing? I didn't know that terror was categorized as a [...]
