We found this lo-fi, self produced music video for Lizard Kisses ' "Close" (off their forthcoming album) in our Open Blog and were intrigued by it. On Tuesday September 18th, the band will be performing in at Blue Warbler House in Brooklyn alongside best buds Mutual Benefit and Kevin Greenspon. It will be a small intimate show with accompanying projections. - (as posted in The Deli's Open Blog - post your band's entries, videos, and Mp3s here [...]
Californian multi-talent Kevin Greenspon can legitimately be called a regular on these pages, with his own output as well as with his wonderful label Bridgetown Records , but it's been a surprisingly long time since we've actually featured his music. Anyway, he has just released the tape Maroon Bells , a six-piece collection of, in his own words, "concise recollections of a very specific set of personal memories", including "those first times you had dreams of disappearing to somewhere new, seeing a city from the mountains, being dwarfed by the skeleton of a skyscraper, and the [...]
Kevin Greenspon – “X.A. Assembly” Blog bud/ Bridgetown Records founder Kevin Greenspon has done something characteristically awesome and made his 65-minute, limited release-collecting Paradise A.D. compilation available to the public as a digital freebie . Back in June I posted the positively chilly “City Breeze” , and now you can feast upon “X.A. Assembly” (originally from the Rose Window cassette), which hits with a soothing salve of plaintive [...]

![[Introducing] – We Are Losers](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3771676_lg.jpg)
Tweet Well, this is refreshing. It's not exactly uncommon to find bands promising the world and failing to deliver, but it's a crime We Are Losers certainly can't be accused of. I mean, right there in the title: if they sucked you could hardly accuse them of trying to disguise the fact. They don't suck though. They pound drums, and coax squeals and yelps out of guitars, and shout vocals that are still barely audible through the noise, but they don't suck. The [...]
Bridgetown Records is one of those wonderful labels quietly putting out release after release covering a whole range of styles and genres from psych to ambient to experimental, and pretty much all points in between. They've been in touch to remind us there are 15 new releases on Bridgetown, including the label's first DVD, and a video album by Former Selves . The rest of the albums are by Vehicle Blues , Kevin Greenspon , Sea Oleena , Jon Barba , Chicken Sandwich , Grizzel Toe/Hermit Convention , Sundrips [...]

Kevin Greenspon’s Bridgetown Records recently put out their summer sampler featuring a collection of twenty-one tracks from their summer releases. Among the catalog are Kevin’s own creations, and the California native never fails to bring fresh sounds to the table. The Greenspon who shared a release with Cloud Nothings is hardly recognizable these days, but the same passion and delightful sounds are there. Greenspon's "Paradise A.D." is made up of fifteen new and revisited tracks from five limited edition cassettes. This is a noteworthy release from Greenspon; spanning genres, multiple physical releases, label upstart and touring machine, this is a [...]
Kevin Greenspon — City Breeze Yesterday I posted about Bridgetown Records ’ Summer Batch and its complementary mixtape , which have been excellently tearing up my headphones/speakers these last few days. Well here I am plugging it again, this time lending some much-deserved attention to Kevin Greenspon ’s Paradise A.D. CD. Packing 65 minutes of material, A.D. rounds up tracks from cassette releases both new and old, providing a prime entry [...]
Kevin Greenspon — Coincide It takes some serious musical chops to shift between genres as seamlessly as Kevin Greenspon does. One minute he’s sharing a split with Cloud Nothings and pumping out sugary pop confections like “Carpool Pepsi” , and the next he’s crafting pillowy ambient movements that stretch beyond the 8-minute mark (see above). Like “Threshold” , “Coincide” is brutally gorgeous in its bare, weightless simplicity. You’ll often find drone/ambient artists raiding the book of post-rock clichés [...]
Kevin Greenspon/Trudgers — Split Cassingle (Excerpt) Greenspon casts ethereal shadows on the wall, the silhouettes come to life as guidance lights to another side. Trudgers also casts shadows, though different, as they pull themselves from marble and creep up on you baring a wicked grin Bridgetown mastermind and all-around champ Kevin Greenspon just dropped a brand new split with Trudgers . While his side offers up “depressing compositions for tapes, guitar, time [...]

With Jon Barba, I feel as though anything recorded from his Nicole Kidman heart needs no further elaboration. His speaks sonically for himself, sonically for a lot of us as well. See you soon buddy. Jon and Kevin Greenspon are hitting the road again in two days, click here for tour dates. Kevin is also working on a release for Mexican Summer, big news. Nicole Kidman plays night one of FMLY Fest.

Wrote about Cleveland's Cloud Nothings earlier and Bridgetown Records hooked me up with some tracks that have been released by Cloud Nothings and Kevin Greenspon . These are songs that won't appear on the Carpark release. It's on CD & cassette & can be found here . Spaced-out shoegaze navel gazing garage-indie, like skateboarding in slow motion. Like it. Like it a lot. mp3: Kevin Greenspon - "Carpool Pepsi" mp3: Cloud Nothings - "I Apologize"
With Cloud Nothings' new album on the horizon, and the Blogosphere buzzing about it, I thought this was a topical thing to bring you. Cloud Nothings recently released a split album with California musicmaker Kevin Greenspon. Check out Cloud Nothings' "I Apologize" and Greenspon's fuzzy poppy "Carpool Pepsi" (or fizzy soda if you will) now. Kevin Greenspon's website
So yesterday when I posted Cloud Nothings' new track from his/their upcoming self-titled album it got the attention of Kevin Greenspon. If you're a fan of Cloud Nothings then you'll know who he is, but if not, they released a split album earlier this year comprising of five songs each, and he also released the first two versions of Cloud Nothings' "Turning On" album via his Bridgetown Records label. Kevin got in touch with me last night and was kind enough to send me a shitload of stuff for you guys to see and hear and [...]
When I interviewed Kevin Greenspon about his acclaimed Bridgetown imprint back in July , he told me that his approach to running a small independent label and keeping it alive was all about human interaction - with the artists and the customers, who he blesses with personal letters expressing gratitude for having purchased one of Bridgetown's splendid releases (a claim I can confirm). But when it comes to getting musically creative, the friendly social being Kevin Greenspon usually stays on his own. Dominated by slow, sweeping guitar ambient works, the 23-year old multi-instrumentalist explores the [...]
![Kevin Greenspon [Common Objects, Family Time Records]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2921785_lg.jpg)
After several cassette, CD-R and split projects released within such a short amount of time, Kevin Greenspon finally gets the vinyl treatment for his full length LP titled Common Objects. I've been a fan of Kevin since early this year and I have been enjoying what he brings with each new release. Whether one wants to define him as experimental, pop or droned either way his music encompasses all of the above with a passion like no other. Pick up the album here [...]
Kevin Greenspon: Machine Shop Kevin Greenspon ’s had a busy couple of weeks. In addition to dropping his new (and surprisingly rockin’) split with Cloud Nothings, he’s issued three releases of his own. The gorgeous Common Objects LP is out on Family Time (stuffed with 30 photos taken by himself and Vehicle Blues ) while Unveiling and Rose Window are out on Monorail Trespassing and Life’s Blood , respectively. Since [...]
From time to time I really enjoy some straight and noisy guitar riffs beside all the electronic sounds of our time. To my great joy, Calfornia's Kevin Greenspon just sent us over three songs, which absolutely comply my needs. "Carpool Pepsi", "Post Life" and "I Apologize" are taken from a new split CD, which he produced together with Dylan Baldi from Cloud Nothings . Go get it via Bridgetown Records . mp3 | Kevin Greenspon - Carpool Pepsi mp3 | Kevin Greenspon - Post Life mp3 [...]
