Every year has its turkey albums. Once a year, we take the opportunity to put them out of their misery. It's the 2012 Turkey Shoot! This is an idea I've stolen from the fantastic Chicago Public Radio program Sound Opinions. Once a year, Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot get together to take [...]
Here’s a re-cap of Surfing On Steam’s Favorite Albums of 2012 (20-11). The final ten picks are coming soon! 11. Lower Dens - Nootropics Nootropics is an album I regret not reviewing when it first hit the shelves. It’s heavy and personal. It lingers and haunts you like a bad decision, bad behavior in general. It’s the album I always wish Radiohead would have made, or maybe The Motels already made this record? Its music is filled with sparse atmospheric guitars and electronic colors. But no [...]

In late August, Princess Music (@princessmusicband) released "White Wave," a single off of their forthcoming debut album, Odobenidae. The song opens with a simple music box sequence and slowly builds toward full-on orchestral folk awesomeness. Since the single's release, the Denver quintet has garnered some pretty impressive media attention (and it's more than well-deserved). Recently, the band delivered again with a homey-feeling music video for the single. The downright adorable video features fellow Denverites Our Mutual Running Club as well as several big furry dogs. The [...]
Whereas most of the time at Pygmalion Music Festival you find yourself bouncing around from place to place, for the grand finale of the festival all the bands were centralized in one place, downtown Champaign, which started with an incredible lineup at the Highdive Outdoor stage and ended with a variety of smaller shows all within a couple blocks. Amazing set-up and it led to arguably the best day of music in Pygmalion's 8-year history. After a number of local Champaign/Urbana acts warmed up the stages [...]
By Gabriel Jones You couldn’t entirely be blamed for thinking that Grizzly Bear starts most of their songs with — well, let’s see where this goes. Usually the band’s exceptionally tight musicianship is able to tie all the spare and sprawling parts together. They write exploratory songs that start haltingly, deconstruct and nearly fall apart, like complicated machines with an overload of moving parts that break into fragments, then gather together for sharp melodies that soon break apart again and move toward new forms. Spare and lush by turns, stark and airless and then [...]

Thank you Digital Screen of Cheerfulness! I survived and thrived during Days 1 and 2 in the marathon known as Flanders' Belgium's totally rocktacular music festival.

Oct 25, 2012, 5:47pm SURFING ON STEAM
SURFING ON STEAM“ “Music shouldn’t be free. It shouldn’t even be cheap. If you consume all the music you want all the time, compulsively, sweatily, you end up having a cheap relationship to the music you do listen to. In turn, this kind of market makes for musicians who are writing with the burden of having to get your attention, instead of writing whatever they’d write if they were just following artistic impulses. It’s increasingly difficult and un-rewarding to write music that is considered, patient, and simple* when the market increasingly demands music that is easy, thoughtless, and careless.” [...]
