We're on the other side of CMJ now, which you could probably tell by the uptick in the music news cycle, or by some bloggers' (could be any bloggers, no way to know who I am talking about) bleary eyes and corresponding level of risibility. Stereogum threw some a couple of parties early on , then shifted into showcase-hopping mode. Herein you'll find a hand-selected collection of the finest and most representative photos of CMJ 2011 from our crew of exceptional photographers - Erez Avissar , Ryan Muir , and Jessica Amaya - [...]
It's time to listen to a bunch of the tracks I have not posted recently. Here is the next NOT POSTED mix. These are just a few of the songs that would get their own individual posts here on GIMME TINNITUS if I only had the time. You can stream all the songs in this mix using the Yahoo media player at the bottom of the page OR if you are browsing with Chrome you can play (and scrobble ) the whole page using the ex.fm extension OR you [...]
Juli is voor velen een vakantiemaand, een maand om terug te blikken op het afgelopen half jaar. Traditioneel is het ook vrij rustig met nieuwe albums in deze tijd van het jaar. Omdat mijn vakantie iets vroeger plaatsvond, had ik gelukkig nog genoeg in te halen. Juni bracht tal van leuke releases, waarvan ik er enkele al heb genoemd: Noveller , John Maus , Woods , Biosphere , Matt "MV" Valentine , Jürgen Müller en - de man die de mondhoeken omhoog doet krullen - Gerard Herman , onder andere. De [...]
Brooklyn's La Big Vic is the cosmic, colossal synth project of Peter Pearson (synths), Toshio Masuda (guitar, synths), and Emilie Friedlander (violin, vocals) who is also a writer and editor for music blog Visitation Rites as well as the Pitchfork -affiliated Altered Zones . If you missed the memo back in May, their introduction into this world in the form of the expansive, seven-track album Actually is one of our favorite records of the year so far, and continues to re-open itself up to us in different ways after each listen. We [...]
New York-based La Big Vic just dropped a game-changing debut. We got a taste of what the group's been cookin' with various tracks that have trickled in over the past year, but the whole of the eight-song, 45-minute Actually is simply breathtaking. Describing an album as "uncategorizable" or as an amalgam of multiple genres is just not an interesting description anymore, and one that does no justice to this kind of record. You hear a little of the fluid, utopian soundscapes of Talk Talk and Bark Psychosis, as well as occasional vocoder-heavy galactic shag grooves a la [...]
It has been a bonanza month at MM - our in-box overflows daily and here is another quick round-up of new stuff we've discovered. Once again we're entirely failing to do the artists justice, but listen to the songs and if you like what you hear please do investigate them a bit more! Hotel & Highways album Lost River is an easy-going folk-tinged meditation on the complexities of life that echoes the halycon days of Fleetwood Mac and CSNY . Try the effortlessly melodic Train Whistle and Heaven [...]
Too Many Rockers, Not Enough Lovers Blowin' up, blowin' up! LA BIG VIC are exploding the interwebs lately with the recent release of their new music video for "Mr. Broken-Bird," a stellar in-studio at Newtown Radio , and a full-length Actually LP out today on Underwater Peoples . They've even garnered mention on MTV's alt-blog Iggy . MTV, that still means something to you, right?? So, need to catch up on all things awesomely LBV? You've come to the right place. First, check [...]

La Big Vic 's debut Actually takes me back to certain event in my life, something that I won't ever forget. Five years ago at this exact point as summer was almost arriving, I was traveling around France, Italy, and Switzerland, observing their cultures and unique ways of life. After extensive travels through France and an enormous time spent metro hopping in Paris, I headed for Switzerland's illustrious Lake Léman , or more commonly referred to as Lake Geneva. Actually opens with a song I wish I had in my head as [...]

La Big Vic's latest, which they just debuted, and I can't stop watching (with and without my eyes closed!), is currently only available in video form—pixelated video collage form, to be exact. Their full-length, Actually , actually drops May 10 on Underwater Peoples , so get after it; and get after this. Video Mulch by Luke Wyatt If you missed any of La Big Vic's [...]

Despite the long walk to Glasslands in the snow this show was nothing less than phenomenal. New friends, old friends, and amazing music. It will be far too long before the Twerps grace Brooklyn with their presence again (unless they come back before leaving the country). Live at Glasslands .

La Big Vic , who recently played our Winter Showcase, have announced their debut LP Actually , due May 10 on Underwater Peoples . The sprawling new track "Musica" is a beautifully brooding eleven minute opus that fittingly closes the album.

Without any bio-filled introduction about Brooklyn's La Big Vic , we cut straight to their expansive sound. Expansive meaning that it's a near eleven minute beast of a track. It's slow and brooding, and probably the heaviest we've heard from this group thus far. Props to Pixelhorse for the added information regarding the track's origination, "Musica" was essentially La Big Vic"s first song, originally performed in rudimentary form at one of Market Hotel's first Cosmic Yoga rooftop parties. In writing/recording it, LBV started out with a fast kind [...]
With the means of cheap contemporary blogosphere jabbering (yes, I guess this is self-criticism), it's kinda hard to describe the music of Brooklyn trio La Big Vic . We're not alone though. The band itself struggles to come up with any fitting adjectives attributable to their sound, coming up with rather obvious and sorta lame characteristics such as cosmic ("no") or weird ("..."). So as a start, let's stick to the bare facts: We got a rather unusual setting, with Emilie Friedlander (of Visitation Rites and AZ ) on violin and vocals, and her bandmates [...]
