New Icarus Himself: "Digging Holes"

Sep 4, 2010, 8:17am Guerolito Music
New Icarus Himself: "Digging Holes" Oh man, this song is dope! After having heard it for the first time over at Jonk Music I was caught. "Digging Holes" is off Mexico — the latest EP from Madison folk-popsters Icarus Himself — and totally blew me away its picked guitar riff, the off-beat piano and mariachi trumpets. God, I can even hear a flute playing in the background. Slightly reminds me of Beirut, but it's really too good to compare it with anything. Download the song below! Purchase Mexico-EP via Science Of [...]

PLAYLIST: Shuffler.fm is neat

Sep 3, 2010, 2:35pm Whale in a Cubicle
I've been really loving this new site called Shuffler.fm the past week or two. It's kind of like Pandora, but instead of your music tastes going into an algorithm that predicts what you might like, it's just keyed into various music blogs and spits out songs based on the genre you plug in - kind of like walking into a world-wide-web-sized independent record store. It's way more random than most internet radio, and a whole lot of fun. It definitely has some kinks to work out (the same Gillian Welch song came up for me 5 [...]

Icarus Himself

May 25, 2010, 3:10am Tough Customer // Wire
I've been in a strangely contemplative mood lately. All of a sudden it seems like everything is more important than it used to be. Or maybe it's not. Either way, I find myself taking more time than usual trying to figure it out. The world seems to be speeding up while I do this which causes me to worry that the time spent thinking is wasted; I should be spending more time doing. This kind of thinking turns my mind into a neurotic eternal return where I end up spending all my time [...]

neue töne (693): science of sound

Oct 31, 2009, 3:24am das klienicum
science of sound hatte mir ursprünglich singuläre freuden bereit. da kümmerte ich mich lediglich um sleeping in the aviary bzw. pale young gentlemen . lässt man aber seinen blick ausgiebiger über das label aus madison streifen, trifft man immer wieder neue und/oder/auch zukünftig gern gesehene bekannte. so sind mir auch die auf schmalspur komponierenden burschen nick und carl unter die finger gekommen. sie stammen ebenfalls aus madison und brachten "coffins" zunächst im selfrelease heraus, bevor sich science of sound nochmals seiner annahm, um einen rerelease zu starten, geschehen im [...]

Icarus Himself: Coffins

May 8, 2009, 9:03am Here Comes The Flood
Icarus Himself: Coffins Karl Christenson (l.) and Nick Whetro. Photo: Chris Moore Icarus Himself started out as a side project for the solo cravings of National Beekeepers Society frontman Nick Whetro . Mostly acoustic spiced with loops and samples and the indispensable aid of Karl Christenson Coffins is an album that feels comfortable in the vicinity of the output of Robyn Hitchcock and Syd Barrett. Hints of early seventies Bowie ( Flatwoods, WV) ) and dark country a la Johnny Dowd ( 35 To Life [...]

Icarus Himself

Apr 24, 2009, 4:26pm Real Horrorshow Tunes, Droogies!
Icarus Himself A new album that I've been sent recently and have really enjoyed is this, the solo debut of Nicholas Whetro, from National Beekeepers Society. I've put this off a bit as I've been rather busy recently and now have the time to squeeze in a review. It's something that I whole-heartedly recommends, definitely in my opinion left-of-centre acoustic indie-pop that warms the heart. It's pretty acoustic-folk styled, containing some actually beautiful music. It's definitely hard to actually wordily describe without listening to it at the same time. The minimalistic structure of the songs only goes to make [...]

Dec 12, 2007, 8:16pm I'm Just Sayin Is All...
Five Minutes To Live Ashley Macomber - The Queen [Villian #1] (2005) Icarus Himself - People's Temple (mp3) This song sounds like meeting someone exactly like yourself, but better in almost every way. It jangles a desperate reaction while sustaining a synthy smile. Somewhere, it hopes , is a message other than inadequacy. Somewhere, it hopes , is the rational recognition that similarities build friendship. Somehow, it hopes , [...]
