Monday, October 17, 2011 Today's Quick Mention: As you may have noticed, the streaming player disappeared about a week ago. I'd love to tell you why, but I don't have a clue as to why it happened. On the bright side, it's been replaced with something much better. Now you can hit play and it'll cycle through all the tracks that are on that particular page. Try not to freak out. Yep, it's Monday again. Enjoy. : Doomtree [...]

Happy to bring you this lovely lick, called "Obstacle" by a band I had never heard of called Mezzanine Owls. They sound a bit like The National but as always, maintain their own sound. I dig the sound of this song, its like a tug-a-war between the poppy verses and the melancholic instrumentals. They've got a couple singles coming out on October 24th via JAXART records, so if you dig this, you

As we indicated back in June , melancholic popgazers Mezzanine Owls are not going quietly into the night. The fractured L.A. quartet, dormant almost three years now, is releasing a couple of archival recordings (made in August 2008) from bassist Dan Horne's Lone Palm Studio — "Obstacles" and "Tethered to a Fountain" — as a limited-edition 7-inch . The A-side finds Jonathan Zeitlin's guitar textures and Jack Burnside's lyrics equally evocative, qualities that set MezzOwls apart ever since their 2006 debut "Slingshot Echoes." With Zeitlin and drummer Pauline Mu now making music as Alpine Decline [...]

Back in 2008 Los Angeles noisepop proveyuers Mezzanine Owls took a chance on an upstart bedroom label. They stuck it out in those awkward early days and after a few months of planning their fuzz drenched Snow Globe EP was released on our very own JAXART Records . The EP was well recieved and became a staple for any indie loving concert goer cruising around Silverlake/Echo Park on a Monday night. We are very happy to announce we will be releasing a new 7 inch for Mezzanine Owls on Oct 11th [...]
L.A.'s Mezzanine Owls -- one of my favorite all-time local bands -- return with a new single that is high on atmosphere and heavier than you'd expect. "Obstacle" is very similar to the material found on the group's outstanding Snowglobe EP (2008) only more exploratory, noisier. The bonus is that Jack Burnside doesn't ditch any of the melody or style that makes a Mezzanine Owls release so affecting. Obstacle will be released as a 7" single through [...]
Los Angeles area noise pop quartet, Mezzanine Owls have a new 73 single out on October 11th via JAXART Records. The a-side track, "Obstacle" sounds like grey sunshine, when it flourishes with the pop sensibility bands of the area are known for, the Owls deftly jerk it back down, playing this sort of back-and-forth game with the song's atmosphere. Before you know it, the song is over and you don't even think twice about hitting the repeat button. Continue reading: MP3: Mezzanine Owls - "Obstacle" Subscribe to the PMABLAST, a [...]
What do you do for an encore if you've released three albums in barely over a year? If you're the L.A. noise-rock duo Alpine Decline , you get out of the country. The two-piece — the project of guitarist Jonathan Zeitlin and drummer Pauline Mu (both formerly of Mezzanine Owls) — last week announced the release of their third album, "消失/Disappearance." Along with it came a note that the couple is moving to Fifth Ring Road in Beijing in August to record and play music. The album finds Zeitlin and Mu continuing their explorations in reverb-soaked dissonance and agitated [...]
[In response to the inevitable questions I am asked at shows — What have you heard? What are you listening to? What's new? — today I embark on something called Random Dispatches ... the contents of my notebook, spilt.] ► Lavender Diamond's recent show at the Eagle Rock Center for the Arts was a revelation, and not merely because we hadn't heard much from Lavender Diamond since singer Becky Stark and the band released "Imagine Our Love" in 2007. The [...]
Funny thing happened some time after Silver Lake faves Mezzanine Owls went on (what now looks like permanent) hiatus in late 2008: Frontman Jack Burnside was asked to play a show opening for Swervedriver's Adam Franklin . "I thought he was playing solo," Burnside says, "but when I learned he had a band, I thought I should probably get one too." Poof. Rabbits Rabbits Rabbits were born, with bassist Jenni Tarma (Kylie Minogue, Junior Senior, Har Mar Superstar, Eskimohunter), multi-instrumentalist/producer Dan Horne (the Lilys, Mezzanine Owls, among others) and guitarist Chris Newcomer (Polls). [...]
When Chris Newcomer left film school and moved from Baltimore to L.A. six-plus years ago, his guitar seldom left his apartment, and when he did play in front of people he was something of a one-trick pony. "I'm such a big fan of the Who that sometimes it's annoying to my friends," he says. "Every time I pick up a guitar in someone's apartment, I start playing 'Substitute.'" ||| Download: "Treats" Now he's substituting his affection for classic rock with an embrace of disaffected [...]

Erinnert sich noch jemand an die US-amerikanische Indie/Shoegaze/Wave-Band Mezzanine Owls , die ich anno 2006 vorstellte ? Ihr Hit «Lightbulb» (den es zu meinem großen Erstaunen immer noch legal als mp3 im Netz gibt) war damals hoch in meinen Jahrescharts, so dass ich mich seitdem immer mal wieder gefragt hatte, was die Jungs inzwischen wohl so machen. Nun, vor einigen Monaten haben sie endlich neues Material veröffentlicht, und zwar eine 7"-EP, die es derzeit bei Insound zu kaufen gibt (bei Eingabe des Codes mezzaninieowls10 sogar mit 10% Rabatt). Und den Track «Snowglobe» [...]
Last year, in one of the earliest BFD posts I mentioned the California band Mezzanine Owls, they of the shoe gaze jams. Their eponymous album was released this past spring. While they are not Jesus & Mary Chain or any other notable shoe gaze bands, they have a great sound. "Snow Globe" in particular is a great song. Feed back from guitars, sing-song vocals and all rock.
