htrk kiss before the fall 2009 (française version) Pas pour très longtemps. Cela ne dure pas. Elle ne hurle plus. Elle pleure. Je murmure. La voix est douce, le ciel est bleu, strident. On ne s'entend plus. Pour un instant. Elle se lève. Elle remplit une grande bassine d'eau glacée. Y trempe ses mains, s'asperge le visage. Et le corps. Tout ensemble. Je me lève. Attrape une serviette, la plus grande, l'enveloppe avec et , [...]
London, England "Fascinator" HTRK on MySpace HTRK on The Hype Machine
Long ago, in a far off time we had a little feature called The Weekly Everything . At its inception, The Weekly Everything was an attempt for me to post every single track that arrived in my inbox. I very much viewed CreamTeam as a effort of love that would have a very small niche audience. In turn, I wanted to support all the small acts out there. Sometimes my humbleness gets the better of me. This little blog that could has obviously grown far beyond the imagined. We have no need to relegate new talent [...]
A couple of days ago I had a meeting with model and porn star Sasha Grey to discuss many important topics. Due to some scheduling and time constraints, we had decided that it would be best to have our meeting on the internet. I have to say that it was maybe the fastest meeting I've ever had. Not five minutes after meeting up with her on Spankwire Dot Com , I said my goodbyes and went to go finish making dinner. After dinner I started to feel guilty about not knowing her very well and went about [...]
Words by Daniel Talbot HTRK were supposed to be playing this show with Martin Rev of Suicide, but the king of psychotic rockabilly could no longer make it. The Lexington was pretty subdued, probably the smallest crowd I've ever seen there, which in some ways took something away from the atmosphere that The Lexington usually holds so well, but in other ways it also provided quite a serene atmosphere which turned out to be entirely suitable for HTRK. They came out as they meant to go on - not riotous, not excited, [...]
Fearsome self styled "Shriekbeat" act KASMs are London-based Rachel Mary Callaghan, Gemma Fleet, Scott R. Walker and Rory Brattwell. All four members have been other bands: Rachel was the singer in spazzcore band Sin o the East, along with Rory on guitar; Gemma was in London based grunge-pop band Wolfie; Scott was in an ethnic/improv band called Aum Sahib and Rory was in quite a few bands, the most well known being short-lived NME favorites Test Icicles. During their first year together they have played in New York, Paris, Berlin, Milan and toured the UK with contemporaries Televised [...]
Bon finalement j'ai changé d'idée, je ne veux plus m'exiler en Suède. Maintenant, je songe plutôt à Londres, berceau de la nouvelle vague noir (lire DARKWAVE). S.C.U.M. , Televised crimewave , KASMS et HTRK feront désormais parti de la trame sonore de ma vie, en espérant ne pas trop tomber dans la déprime... Justement, question d'oublier l'hiver canayien, je songe de plus en plus à tapisser mes murs des dessins de Kimme Buzzelli . Y'a pas que moi qui l'aime, elle a déjà illustré la couverture du Flaunt et embelli les pages du [...]
This is a new and rather brilliant sampler from Fire Records. Their current roster of bands is in my opinion every bit as good as it ever was. The sampler is avaliable as a download from Bookmat at the bargin price of £1.99. Buy Here Here's what the nice Bookmat people have to say about it. "Fire Records was formed by artist manager Clive Solomon in the mid 80s, and in the ten years that followed established itself as one of the most [...]
Cambiando un poco el mood del blog, HTRK son Hate Rock Trio. Traen pura psicodelia con loops interminables de guitarra y bajo rasposo, una onda bien decadente. Un soundtrack para la generación x. 'Ha' es definitivamente un must have, dejo tambien 'Hate Rock Trio' por si les gusta y quieren escuchar mas. HTRK - Ha HTRK - Hate Rock Trio
_ htrk - ha Tout commence par un bulletin de rework sur myspace: "I love "Marry Me Tonight" by HTRK!!!" Je tombe sur leur page et j'entends "Ha" . Je fais quelques recherches et je découvre, comme d'hab, que 20 jazz funk greats en ont parlé il y a un an . Je fais quelques recherches de [...]
Warped Reality (online) is now a year old! For my last post of the year , I'm posting a few favorites from 2006. This is by no means a comprehensive list —it's highly subjective group of songs that caught my ear this year. Conspicuously missing: new stuff from Matt Elliot, the Konki Duet, Kristin Hersh (her new album will be out in 2007), Les Georges Leningrad, Michael Dracula (posted here earlier this year), HNIA, Edison Woods, Psapp and Beirut. Hopefully I'll get to them in 2007! Best wishes for a wonderful 2007! [...]
One day we were thinking it would be amazing if we could, besides promoting the stuff we love and respect, also demote what we loathe and despise, you know, like fucking Moby. I think he's a...

Why do some people find music that isn't all happy-clappy 4/4 beats depressing? Some of the best, most amazing heartbreaking sound can come from people like H T R K, a band who don't feel the need to... [[ This is a content summary only.
