There's a lot of Dylan in the air this month - see, for example, both our recent feature on Thea Gilmore's John Wesley Harding , released in honor of the seminal singer-songwriter's 70th birthday next week, and last weekend's house concert preview for our upcoming show with Anthony Da Costa , who many have compared to Dylan himself. But as we've noted several times here at Cover Lay Down, the Bob Dylan canon is far too vast to justify a single feature. So here's an omnibus of a different sort: five [...]

Lavinia is the post-rock super-group that everyone's been talking about. Featuring members from bands such as Caspian, Eksi Ekso and The Burning Paris, they've started off in a big way with their incredible There Is Light Between Us . Beginning 2011 in the same matter, they're touring the U.S. and are also making an appearance at The Mylene Sheath's Showcase at SXSW . I caught up with Nate Shumaker, who gave us the past, present and future of the band. Ben: What made the members of the band [...]
Non so esattamente perché, ma mi fa sempre un po' strano quando mi imbatto in un musicista italiano che prende una nota canzone inglese o americana e ne realizza una versione italiana in modo fedele e molto letterale. Negli ultimi giorni la cosa mi è capitata due volte: con il disco d'esordio di Lavinia! , giovanissima cantautrice friulana al debutto per Matteite Records , che contiene al suo interno una cover fedelmente tradotta del classicone Anyone else but you dei Moldy Peaches (furbescamente reintitolata Juno ) e con la nuova fatica degli [...]
Supergroups always tend to be a wee bit disappointing. There's always a big hype, they put out a couple of records that, though good, could easily be trumped by ones of their respective bands, and then go on their merry way. Lavinia, however, is one supergroup that did it the right way: they took all of their extraordinary talents and combined them to put out a fantastic record. Featuring members of the Mylene Sheath roster, guitarist/vocalist Nate Shumaker (ex-Eksi Ekso, On Fire, The Burning Paris, Everdown) bassist Philip Jaimeson (main guitarist of Caspian), drummer Alex [...]

Today, us east coast kids are hunkered down, waiting for that hurricane that probably won't hit us at all but which provides a good excuse to take the day off! Of course, we at Consequence of Sound don't even know what this day off thingy means and will probably work through the 2012 apocalypse. But you should enjoy a day off, just for the sake of having more time to read all our great content AND listen to all the awesome music included on this week's Friday Mixtape. Once again, it's jam packed and thanks to the recent [...]
