If the concept of a local super group is even possible, Aircraft fit the bill. Some of Tallahassee's finest musicians, including Jake Tobin ( Fruit Flesh ), Malee Brigardner ( Moonlasso ), James Folker ( Water Brother ) and Ben Varian all take part in the collective. Last March I got a chance to check them out at Total Bummer, and their sound was more than ambitious enough to match the skills of their members. Taking cues from the most anthemic of indie bands (think Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene) the band tore through one of the best [...]

Michael Parallax - Lost River Old River Pt II Michael Parallax - Ghosts (Spirit Come In) Michael Parallax - All The Young Bloods of Baltimore Michael Parallax - Hallelujah Sea Graves (off ha ha hallelujah! ) Michael Bringardner comes from a family of jams out of a town oozing with innovation in their sounds and electronics. It'd be a challenge worth rising towards to collect all of the love we have for Florida and the ferocity of what is happening down South [...]
No, it's not one of Frank Zappa's kids. Moon Lasso is a young lady named Malee from the state capital of Florida. Despite Florida's consistent torrent of spring breakin' and good vibin', some truly spooky and magnificent music creeps up from the Sunshine State. Moon Lasso is an even darker offering - angular melodies, sustaining echos and whispers creeping from behind, suffocating ambient swells, and flickering, cascading shadows creeping throughout the soundspace define her forebodingly beautiful 8mm lo-fi pop. Enjoy the sublime "Empty Aerials" below, which (to me) sounds like the marriage of Kate Bush and Godspeed You [...]

cred: luis sanchis She's no longer there and the night grows on. I'll whisper in your ear "I'm still here, I'm still here." MoonLasso is the youngest proof of the Bringardner genius - Florida peeps know what I'm talking about! Standing proudly aside her brothers of Oh Fortuna and Michael Parallax , Malee's voice stands for the honest truth just as much as Parallax stands for brutal loyalty and devotion. But it's not only the content of Malee's music which [...]

Welcome to Florida, home of Disney World, Tiger Woods and gatorade. But that's not all - as the rest of the world is beginning to discover, we also have music. Some pretty rad music, too. In fact, I heard that Florida is the new Portland. It was then debated whether or not Portland is the new Portland, but whatever the answer may be, Florida is the new something. This is convenient, because Florida will likely fall into the ocean soon. As the interpreter between Florida and the rest of the world, I offer you this mix , this grapefruit [...]
