After last year’s success, the European post rock festival institution DUNK!FESTIVAL decided to go bigger.

It was the last element added to Maserati ’s latest album. The record was tracked and ready to go, but bassist Chris McNeal of the Athens, Georgia-based instrumental psych/post-rock band had one last idea. “We went back to the studio for an hour,” guitarist Coley Dennis said. “Chris had this idea and I’m glad he did, because it makes the song.” After more than 13 years as a band, what Maserati had was its very first sung part. It was heavily processed through a vocoder, and only a few lines [...]
![[Denver Event] Maserati – 2/26 Hi Dive](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4800507_lg.jpg)
It's inevitable. There's always a few times a year that seem to be overrun by absolutely amazing shows. Here in Denver, that time is now. Tomorrow is one of those nights where we're faced to make a decision, and we're opting to catch the psychedelic rock stylings of Maserati . This Georgia based four piece is touring and promoting their latest album Maserati VII. The album marks the band's first release with new drummer Mike Albanese who replaced Jerry Fuchs after his untimely passing. While Mike will be sorely missed, we know that the band will bring [...]

The Cargo Culte lay in a collection of mixes that BaddBob and I began sharing in the late fall and winter of 2008. A few scant months after the banking meltdown I found myself back in Los Angeles after eight years of wandering, living off of unemployment. BaddBob a behind the scenes guy in television [...]

Billionaire Boys Club? Nah. V-12 Muzik: Director's Cut will finally impact tomorrow, but it's only right that Deeder and Blanco give you one more before it does. This joint was produced by and features Yung Automatik. Be sure to hit the jump to see how the record came together. Oh and after this one, you can begin to refer to Deeder as BoDi Deeder. That's right - Maserati Deeder is no more.
I think the title just about says it all. Although not technically a Sunday Mix Tape, here are the RULES for uninitiated noobs: I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes [...]

There are so many records I didn't spend enough time with, and even more I never got around to. I'm sure I'm missing some good ones, but so often this year I found myself in a music tunnel vision of sorts where after keeping up with clients' and friends' records, I only wanted to come home and listen to old familiar things on the turntable. The Byrds, The Kinks, Kate Bush, and Kraftwerk made comforting re-appearances throughout 2012. Tell me what I missed out on, and I'll check it out. [...]

This fall Maserati released their critically acclaimed album Maserati VII via Temporary Residence. Pitchfork said, "Their sense of dynamics and compositional flow is right in line with Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky...it powers sleekly along on economical drumming, taut, delay-heavy riffs, and chugging bass, a little like Trans Am with more focus." The Chicago Reader raved, "It's Maserati in all their glory, ready to soundtrack a winding, eerie drive down a backwoods road." Maserati just announced a winter [...]
Above is a muddied amalgam of the artwork to each of our freshly completed Tracks of 2012 rundown , dubiously fangled on a newly acquired and equally dodgy copy of Photoshop, and below is our ongoing attempt to grapple with the finer intricacies of musical technologies. It's the first, and could well be the last Spotify playlist I ever so painstakingly compile, and it features our every entry (or rather the 28 that, at the time of writing, were hooked up to their mainframe, or whatever the correct technical term would be for that). That our topspot is in [...]
