Merry Moondoggies ::: photo by Abbey Simmons I get tired of writing about the same bands all the time. Just as I'm sure you get tired of reading me write about the same bands over and over again. So what do you think I did for this holiday season? I wrote a letter to the North [...]
This past December Greyday Records released an all new split release from The Heligoats and Sam Humans (formerly Modernstate), available on 103 vinyl, cd, and digital. The release 'Live Free & Let Loose' consists of six new songs from Portland's Sam Humans and 4 new songs from Washington's The Heligoats! Apparently a new record is also underway with news bits forthcoming. He is routing/booking a U.S. jaunt for first half of 2012. In the meantime The Heligoats & Snide will be in Seattle and the NW this December! [...]
I entered the studio at about 9:35pm, meeting up with Stuarto, who has the time slot before mine. A quick interview about 15 minutes before my show, another few songs, and I was up. It was requested that I attempt a transition, and as indie music is my theme, and world music is his, I figured I'd kick things off with an oldie, but goodie: "The Gulag Orkestar" by Beirut. The theme of the evening, loosely, centered around folk. Indie folk, folk pop, folk rock, orchestral folk, experimental folk... [...]
Every year around this time I know how Cinderella felt. A combination of lack of funds and lack of time result in me missing the SXSW ball. So a big thank you to Team Clermont and Greyday Records for providing an SXSW in my living room. For those of you lucky enough to be the two companies have teamed up to present an official showcase Thursday, March 17 at Easy Tiger Patio (formerly Habana Calle 6) from 8PM to 2AM. Just don't expect to see me there as I'll be [...]
From the inbox: Chris Otepka and The Heligoats are back with some new material, and an appearance on NPR's Tiny Desk concert series. (In John McLaughlin voice: False advertising! I see no Tiny Desk! Li ars!) The song below is off of a new EP titled Let Loose .. a jangly jam that is mellow yet urgent. The Heligoats: [...]
![The Heligoats / Sam Humans: Live Free & Let Loose [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3149289_lg.jpg)
Split releases are always a love-hate thing for me. On the love side, I'm always introduced to a new artist, such as Sam Humans in this case. Humans' music is a modern style of biting folk rock, filled with wild guitar riffs. "Hate Is The New Love" begins this process with interesting, angular chords, which is heightened with eccentricities and improvised ferocity of "Firedrill". This song takes the cake, pulling out all the experimental folk brilliance of artists like Royal City or the master Vic Chesnutt himself. [...]

Here are The Wheel's Still In Spin's suggested new releases for this week. Sam Humans/The Heligoats – Live Free & Let Loose. Download Sam Humans – "Hate is the New Love" (mp3). Download The Heligoats – "Moon See, Day See" (mp3). The first song by Sam Humans, "Hate is the New Love," is the best from his side of this split album. But the four tracks by The Heligoats make this album more enjoyable. They are more electric and a little more vociferous than Chris Otepka's previous Heligoats output. It is more reminiscent [...]

The Tallest Man on Earth – The Wild Hunt. Download "Burden of Tomorrow" (mp3). Download "King of Spain" (mp3). The Tallest Man on Earth is the sardonic musical name of five-foot-seven-inch Kristian Matsson. He has a raspy voice, sings songs with beguiling melodies and refined lyrics, and picks and strums with verve. Both The Wind Hunt and Sometimes the Blues is Just a Passing Bird are each the most consistently relishable albums of the year. Quasi – American Gong. Download "Repulsion" (mp3). Download "Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler" (mp3). Quasi is Sam Coomey on guitars and vocals supported by Joanna [...]

Photos and review by Laurie Scavo Long-running indie outfit Clem Snide opened their show at Spaceland on Saturday night with "Walmart Parking Lot," the opening track from the new album "The Meat of Life" — seemingly out of nowhere, frontman Eef Barzelay bursts into the first haunting verse in characteristic quaver, "Punched in the heart, in the throat, in the kneecaps too / That's how it felt when you told me we were through." The punches, at least, foreshadowed the evening to come, as a collective weakness in the knees appeared [...]
