In September, All Our Noise curated a showcase at U Street Music Hall, the latest in the series of AON PRESENTS shows we've put together over the course of the last year. We were pleased to host one of our favorite artists, Mount Eerie , who just this year released two great albums in Clear Moon and Ocean's Roar . Rounding out the night was Baltimore's Secret Mountains , who we've featured as well. Through this extended Bite Sized Set, watch as Phil Elverum leads the band through a dark and moody [...]
Baby Eagle ::: photo by Brittney Bush Bollay Being of a fairly rigorous scientific mindset, I don't generally hold much truck with the concept of fate, but Friday evening's concert experience had the F-word smeared all over it. A last-minute awareness of an unpublicized addition to a bill, the absence of traffic and green lights [...]

So I suppose I have some explaining to do here: Karl Blau, Team Gina, Your Heart Breaks, Stembo (Steve Moore, whom you should probably be familiar with) and members of LAKE put together the "Sensual Seduction" 7-inch and I have ... Continue reading
From the doleful yet somehow somewhat celebratory initial notes shed from Dylan R. Carlson's mourning guitar onwards, Angels Of Darkness, Demons Of Light II, the second record to be released from the recording sessions of the same name at the local Avast! Recording Co. is a dirgeful affair, and a superbly gruelling, if typically lugubrious one at that. So emotive and consequently so involving, mere moments into opener Sigil of Brass you're left exasperatedly awaiting some austere voiceover to earnestly utter something along the quintessentially contrived lines of: "Nothing could prepare me for what was to come..."

GetGetGet from TuffLuke on 8tracks . Tracklist: Heart That's Pounding - Sally Seltmann Bunny In A Bunny Suit - Simone White Discothèque - Summer Cats Don't You Be The Judge - Danielson Famile Slow Down Joe - Karl Blau Tintinnabulation - Kelley Stoltz Twisted Thoughts - Kinetic Stereokids Battles - Celebration
This show began like any other, but without the transition difficulties. All was smooth. The music, on the other hand, was not. After a long, satisfying week, I was in need of some loud, abrasive rock music. But it wasn't all like that. Due to the cold weather, I mixed in some beach pop, fuzzy dream pop and good old garage rock and pop. Don't forget to hit up the bottom of this post and listen to two tracks from the playlist! "Torn Curtain" by Television [...]
DONATE: Karl Blau’s KELP Lunacy Advanced Plagiarism Society (KLAPS). My familiarity with Karl Blau’s music is something which has come about only recently; having warmed to his contribution to one of my favourite albums of last year , and sought out some of his recent work as a result, its clear that he is a truly prolific, ‘local hero’ in the North West of the US. In a musical career spanning nearly 20 years, he’s poured his time into creating a subscription series called “KELP Lunacy Advanced Plagiarism Society” through which he releases the music [...]

Hipster's iPod — Guest Mix on Big Echo by Eugene Khrolenko on Mixcloud Ответственным за сегодняшний гостевой микс является Евгений Хроленко, автор, пожалуй, одного из самых солнечных блогов на tumblr – « Hipster’s iPod », основной фишкой которого является составление характерных пост-чиллвейв сёрф сборников, включающих композиции различной степени популярности. «Hipster’s iPod» на удивление плотно пересекается со вкусами с Big Echo – многие вещи услышать в обоих блогах, иногда в тот же час, когда [...]
Olympia, WA quintet LAKE has returned with a new album, Giving & Receiving, their third with K Records . This time around the band tends toward a mellow, loungy mood for the record, but with a few funky grooves. And despite some material here about the BP Gulf spill or the almost creepy "Skeleton Costume," the songs on Giving seem to to keep a warm and positive vibe. While the album is packed with sugary melodies, the multipart harmonies and elaborate but not overly polished arrangements give off a sophisticated, [...]

Karl Blau erweitert seine Discographie um eine EP. Mit "Celebrate By Singing" erweist sich der Workaholic einmal mehr als Meister des komplexen Songwritings. Obwohl seine Musik im handgestrickten Folk verwurzelt ist, hat Karl Blau eine Vorliebe für Loop-Geräte. In Zeiten, in denen selbst Fräulein Da Capo am Schweizer Fernsehen mit Loop-Geräten rumspielt, ist dies gewiss nichts Aussergewöhnliches. Dennoch ist was Blau mit seinen Gerätschaften anstellt aussergewöhnlich. Mit "Celebrate By Singing" von der kürzlich bei K Records veröffentlichten EP "Max" stellt Blau seine [...]
Key Losers is the Portland, Oregon-based project of vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Katy Davidson, ex-Dear Nora, YACHT collaborator, etc. Her airy, sunny, graceful, impressively patchwork first official Key Losers full-length California Lite follows a 2009 "mini-album" Adjust . She's joined on it by the "Key Losers Black Crow Session Band," a group of collaborators featuring Karl Blau (saxophone), Total Noise's Greg Campanile (percussion) and
Tom Filardo (lead guitar, vocals
), LAKE's
Andrew Dorsett (bass and vocals) and Eli Moore (vocals), and No Kids' Nick Krgovich (keyboards and vocals)
. It was engineered by Phil Elverum, who captured the 12 songs "almost [...]

New Pornographer Kathryn Calder kicks off her first ever solo tour next month in support of her solo debut Are You My Mother? Download " If You Only Knew ," and check out the video for " Arrow ." Calder will of course be playing one show with the New Pornographers alongside Thao & Mirah, then it's off for a short run on the west coast with Himalayan Bear and Karl Blau. We caught up with Calder and fellow Pornographer, who told us about their intent to release solo albums. Sort of. [...]
MP3: Karl Blau - Celebrate By Singing It's always rewarding to be a fan of Mr. Karl Blau as he is both prolific and consistent, the rarest combination. On May 10th he and K Records will release "Max" a 4 song 12 inch of that classic KB groove, the usual smooth and a bit of a subdued attitude. Preview now with "Celebrate By Singing" and order a copy when you can.
Longtime Anacortes songwriter Karl Blau's back with "Celebrate By Singing," a jazzy song from a new 103 called Max . When I wrote about his " Dark Sedan " in 2009 I said "no matter how sunny he gets, Karl Blau’s always sounded autumnal..." That holds true here. Read More...
Do you remember that scene in Death to Smoochy when Edward Norton is dressed up as the purple rhinoceros known as "Smoochy" and he is playing campfire songs to a group of children? During this scene, along with many other scenes in the movie, Norton is riding on a teeter totter that is dangerously close [...]
Arrington de Dionyso’s Malaikat Dan Singa — Madu Mahadahsyat A forewarning: Arrington de Dionyso ’s Suara Naga is some weird, weird stuff. That’s weird by my standards, and I’m someone who falls asleep to the sounds of Yellow Swans . But I digress. I picked up this album for three key reasons: (1) It’s on K Records (duh), (2) Dionyso’s work with Old Time Relijun kicks tremendous amounts of ass, and [...]
