Cleveland's mr. Gnome arose from the ashes of a basement with Nicole Barille and Sam Meister experimenting with a sound based on minimalist instrumentation and the rules of soft vs. loud and masculine vs. feminine. Within a year, the two released their first EP, Echoes On The Ground , and they toured the United States living out of a van and sleeping on random couches for the second part of 2007. With a handful of new material in their set list, Nicole and Sam used practice spots along the way to complete the writing of their new [...]

Despre Mr. Gnome ma declaram foarte entuziasmat cu o luna in urma si chiar ziceam despre ei ca ar trebui dati ca exemplu despre cum ar trebui sa sune rock-ul alternativ in 2008. Ei bine, in dimineata asta am avut surpriza placuta sa vad in inbox inca doua mp3-uri gratuite de la ei printre care si superba Night Of The Crickets, piesa pe care vi-am recomandat-o atunci sa o ascultati pe myspace-ul formatiei. Deliver This Creature, albumul lor de debut va fi lansat in 6 mai prin El Marko Records iar pana cand puteti intra in [...]

(The Notwist) When not heavily ensconced in the search for employment (things are looking up, gang!), MFR likes to assign a grade, on a bi-monthly basis (ha!), to the top ten tracks on music blog aggregator Elbo.ws . Here are the top ten tracks for the first 15 days of March. Expect the next batch of reviews by the 31st. I promise. Please hold me accountable. Seriously. jon@minneapolisfuckingrocks.co m 1.

Elegant und unschuldig schleicht sich Nicole Barille heran. Um dann schnell und kompromisslos anzugreifen. Wollte sie uns eben noch, einer Sirene gleich, becircen, knüppeln sie und Sam Meister im nächsten Moment bedingungslos alles nieder. 'Pirates' ist genial; überraschend und unberechenbar. Ganz so, als hätten sich Fugazzi heimlich bei einer Aufnahme von Cat Power ins Studio geschlichen. Vielleicht hätte meine Frage zu Beginn deshalb auch besser lauten sollen: Wieviele halsbrecherische Tempowechsel kann ein einziges Lied eigentlich ertragen? Verdammt viele, wie mir auf 'Pirates' scheint... [MP3] mr. Gnome / Pirates [...]

mr Gnome Genre: Alternative / Rock / Psychedelic From: Cleveland, Ohio, United States Guitarist/vocalist Nicole Barille and drummer Sam Meister got together a few years ago with a vision of unleashing a minimalist soft/loud smart bomb on an unsuspecting world. That's exactly what they've delivered on the two mr Gnome EPs rleased to date and on their debut full-length CD, 'Deliver [...]

We are both glad there is no snow today (at least not right now). Later in on, we are going to head over to The 32nd Cleveland International Film Festival . Until then, hope you enjoy these songs! 5. {mp3} Soundpool - The Divides of March This quartet from NYC makes lush, ethereal, shoegaze driven electonica dream pop.

The music of mr. Gnome has been described as utilizing elements of AltRock, Metal, Post Punk, and Prog, but lands in a realm of their own making, crafting a compelling sonic-psychedelic melange of indie rock. Since its conception in 2005, the Cleveland duo has released two EPs, receiving wide-ranging and honorable comparisons to Massive Attack, PJ Harvey, Tool, Portishead, Cat Power, Pelican, Death From Above 1979, Celebration and Blonde Redhead. Above all else, mr. Gnome's compositions work -- and in very unusual and clearly soon-to-be-influential ways, where truly adequate descriptions aren't yet available. While comparisons vary, one thing [...]
The Good: Peter Moren - "Social Competence"; With the success found as a part of Peter Bjorn & John, it shouldn't be too difficult for Peter Moren to find an audience to listen to his new solo stuff. Heck if he just released this stuff he wouldn't have a problem finding an audience. Melodic singer/songwriter fare that one-ups every expectation you've ever had for a singer with an acoustic guitar.

At the deli counter of my local market, there's a guy who works there who has flesh tunnels in his ears. Well, I assume he has those since I've never seen him with his ear adornments, because he never wears any when he works. But it's a pretty safe bet: As he's there, slicing ham and turkey breast, his stretched lobes dangle loosely; two fleshy appendages drooping and pendulous, a quivering mass of organic material which strikes you because it's not an area which is supposed to quaver like that. So I can only assume the [...]

Mr. Gnome sunt un duo debutant deosebit de orginal din Cleveland care mi-au trimis recent un mp3 pentru blog. Initial as fi vrut sa-i includ in postul anterior dar muzica lor e suficient de sofisticata incat sa merite pe deplin un post separat. Din fericire nu este vorba de un alt garage-rock duo cum sunt atatea in ultima vreme, muzica lui Nicole Barille(chitara/voce) si a lui Sam Meister(tobe) atrangand comparatii mai degraba cu nume precum Bjork, Portishead, Massive Attack, Pj Harvey, Tool, Diamanda Galas, Cat Power sau Blonde Redhead, adica jumatate din Walk Of Fame-ul alternativ.

mp3: mr. gnome - pirates i knew i was going to like this music way before i put it on... the band is called mr. gnome , their first single is called "pirates", it had to be cool. and i was right, mr. gnome is sweet. they're only two people but they rock just as hard as band's with more than twice their number. fans of blonde redhead and chan marsall's older records should definitely check out deliver this creature when it drops this may.

Yarg! Here's the first track "Pirates" on mr. Gnome's upcoming album, Deliver This Creature . Mr. Gnome is an indie-rock band from my very own state of Ohio, and they've been described by the press in a variety of, shall we say... Creative ways. My favorite is "Death From Above 1979 with the intense vocal wail of Diamanda Galas, while Kurt Cobain sits in on guitar". Seriously, that's a bit much. Regardless, they're a pretty good band, DFA-esque or not. While this track is actually pretty tame, and not quite the [...]
