Ghostland Observatory will lazerize WaMu this weekend / photo by Christopher Nelson We've got another great week of shows in Seattle, with a ton of variety. This is a city where you can see a good show just about every night of the week, and this one is no exception. Starting on Monday night, we've got some great Northwest connections back in town with former Fleet Fox Josh Tillman's new project, Father John Misty , performing at Neumos. On Tuesday, there's a psych fest at Neumos with Black Moth Super Rainbow, Lumerians, and Pictorials . [...]
Kaleidoscope is the still relatively new imprint founded by London beat mastermind Patten , a venture devoted to cassette offerings that come in preciously tiny editions (accompanied by unlimited, and moreover free, digital versions). After the initial release of the excellent Slime Code by Sculpture aka Dan Hayhurst and Reuben Sutherland (listen to two extracts here and here , and get the highly recommended whole piece here ) in February, which out came physically on seven unique C20 cassettes, the label has just announced its second publishing, a C30 by [...]
I didn't post at all on FensePost last week. That's crazy. I had been on a roll, pumping out posts on a daily basis, then I hit a wall and needed an immediate break. But my breaks are typically filled with, well, something else. They're aren't true breaks , in the informal-synonym-for-vacation sense of the word. That's right, it was pledge week at KSVR and KSVU. Being pledge week, I came in Wednesday night and sat in on Jackson Stewart's Blue Boulevard and we [...]
Check this awesome track from Karen Gwyer - twitchy beats with a choral soul - video might spin you out though.

The Moondoggies in Denver ::: photo by Abbey Simmons The Moondoggies are obviously equipped for December year-round, so it's ironic that December is the time we really get to see them strip off the checkered long sleeves and in their place rep their collection holiday sweaters. Have you got a problem with Christmas themed ties or [...]

I entered the studio at about 9:35pm, meeting up with Stuarto, who has the time slot before mine. A quick interview about 15 minutes before my show, another few songs, and I was up. It was requested that I attempt a transition, and as indie music is my theme, and world music is his, I figured I'd kick things off with an oldie, but goodie: "The Gulag Orkestar" by Beirut. The theme of the evening, loosely, centered around folk. Indie folk, folk pop, folk rock, orchestral folk, experimental folk... [...]
Hardly Art's , the Moondoggies , have been truckin' around in support of their last album, "Tidelands," for the last year or so and they'll be here in Denver tonight at Hi-Dive .

![AUSTIN CITY LIMITS 2011 [GUIDE]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3723812_lg.jpg)
As we get ourselves ready for the end of summer and the bone-crushing cold that comes with the change of season, it's time to focus important things like family, friends, and getting heavily intoxicated while listening to one spectacular band after another - you know, the important things. So it is with great joy in our hearts that we pack up our things and ship out to Austin for one of our last festivals of the year, the illustrious Austin City Limits . In order to properly prepare our psyches (and yours) for the [...]
First, if you were an album getting played tonight, which one would you be? ► In advance of the annual Cracker/Camper Van Beethoven cookout in Pioneertown this weekend, David Lowery brings both of his bands to the Satellite with a special agenda: Cracker will be performing its 1993 album "Kerosene Hat," and Camper Van Beethoven will be performing 19892s "Key Lime Pie." ► Peter Hook & the Light visit the Music Box to take on the Joy Division album "Closer," and Hook and his band will be [...]

Since the release of Tidelands (Hardly Art) in 2010, the Moondoggies have kept themselves busy performing radio sessions and playing festivals, including taking part in the Dave Matthews Band Caravan. The quartet is in the process of recording a new album, but until that comes out, fans can get their fix by catching the band [...]
As the date continues to draw closer, we're still going strong, bringing you another band we think you should take notice of during Austin City Limits . Read on for our thoughts on The Moondoggies . If you're looking for something with a hint of folk, yet filled with warm melody, then you need to come out to see Seattle's The Moondoggies . Sure, there are hints of the great Northwest scene, but more of their tunes owes allegiance to the vast wilderness of Alaska, said [...]
![[Album Review/Listen] – Gold Leaves – "The Ornament"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3673101_lg.jpg)
Tweet Gold Leaves is the solo project of Grant Olsen, formerly of amiable psych-folk duo Arthur & Yu. He began work on his more conventional indie-folk solo debut, "The Ornament", all the way back in 2007, and the intervening years have been tricky: Olsen has lost loved ones along the way and, in a less tragic but nonetheless inconvenient turn, he had his laptop and musical notes stolen long into the recording process, taking him back to square one. So "The Ornament" has not [...]
Rating: 8.9 From the dust of Arthur & Yu arises the vivid splendor of Gold Leaves , the project coined and promoted by the now autonomous talent Grant Olsen. As he steps further from the half of him tied to his former duo, the chagrin of life spills forth into The Ornament much like a drain corralling bodies of water from all around. The tale of this nine-track folk album stems from Olsen's personal journey. The compilation of potential songs started over four years ago and took him into married life, [...]
Dal primo secondo possiamo riconoscere la materia prima delle chitarre, il barlume tipico dei Galaxie500, che si risolve in una cavalcata rock-folk che i Blitzen Trapper ci hanno abituato ad ascoltare. Il misto di chitarre pompate, tastiere e cori è gradevole se è giusto in equilibrio tra Manic Street Preachers e She&Him . "Tidelands" è un'epopea vibrante come quelle dei dischi degli Shearwater , ma la voce del frontman ricorda quella di Chris Cornell , anche se la band in generale risente dell'atteggiamento di nuova generazione folk-elettrica americana, emulando però più i [...]
