When famous rock bands are interviewed, at some point they're asked the question "how did you come up with your name?" On the surface it seems like a pretty standard inquiry, one that can easily be answered with the blatant truth. However at some point in the past it became cool for rock stars to lie about their beginnings. Whether it was to over-imbelish a piece of their history, of just simply be dicks to a reporter, they started making up all sorts of off-the-wall things to keep people guessing. While that tactic may have helped to [...]
![[MIXTAPE] M A U S I: J’aime l’été](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4373190_lg.jpg)
Who else is recovering from America's birthday? Who else would rather be at the beach, soaking up the summer sun? I mean wouldn't we all?! Chances are you are like me and staring at a computer screen, stealing longing glance at outside world and dreaming of frolicking. M A U S I are here to help ease the pain, or quite possibly to make the longing even worse depending on how long you are stuck indoors. M A U S I has just sent over their first in a three part Mixtape series. J'aime [...]
Aside from the allure of visiting Barcelona for the first time and catching up with friends across the pond, the driving force behind booking my flight was...the line-up! Primavera Sound felt like a unifying experience, fusing together positive energy, great music, and unabashed dancing from sunrise to sunset (vice versa at times). Highlights from the Festival: Day 1: The first band (aside from The Black Lips and The Walkmen the night before at Parc del Fòrum) we saw at the [...]

The Flaming Lips party with their friends for this Record Store Day one-off. 2012, Warner Bros. / Lovely Sorts of Death 7.8 / 10.0 Before we head into this review, I should state that I’m reviewing the Record Store Day release version of this album and not the chopped [...]

American born Dane Shoegazer Keith Canisius , once of Dream-Pop duo Rumskib, made some waves in the music blog world late last year with his ‘This Time It's Our High’ album. It seems he’s gearing up for something new as he’s delivering this reMix of his track ‘Where Did You Go All These Years?’ by Ronnie Heart , ex-of Neon Indian fame. Ronnie’ ‘Creaming’ is a brooding affair that is a bit of a contradiction, a contradiction that somehow seems to work. On the one hand it’s reverb washed Chillwave roots shine though. Floating [...]
Biliyor musunuz, Antik Çağ'da efendiler, köle çocukların doğmasına izin vermişler, onları yedi yaşına gelmesine de katlanmışlar ama o yaşa gelince başlarına der olacak diye öldürmüşler. 'Çocuğun yüksek yararı'na ne büyük saygı değilmi?! Sonra zaman değişmiş, insanlık gelişmiş, kölelik kalkmış ve savaşlarda alarmlar koymuşlar çocuklar ölmesin diye; ama bir akıllı kalkıp 'atom bombası' yapıvermiş. İşte bu bomba 'çocuğun yüksek yararı'nı düşünüp, onları bir anda yok edivermiş. Tam da Fareli Köyün Kavalcısı'nda olduğu gibi. Ne hoş değil mi? [...]
Neon Indian June 6, 2012 By Robert Freeman Although the early 21 st Century has been dominated by musical nostalgia and a re-hashing of the past, there has also been a trend in electronic music of digging up the future of the past – artists like Chromatics and Neon Indian embody a kind of ‘retro-futurism’, a mixture of times and tenses, a vision of the future from the viewpoint of the not-too-distant past. The Village Underground, appropriately, [...]
New Jersey is known for a few things... mostly that it's New York's not-as-cool neighbor. But more recently, New Jersey synth pop artists have been emerging from their home studios and slowly changing the perception that it's only filled with ridiculous guidos and Cake Bosses . One of these more notable artists is Crozet with their exceptional programming, slick keyboards/synths and an uncanny talent for writing some pretty memorable and singable melodies. After listening to We'll Be Gone By Then for the first time and admiring the brilliant way [...]
Another Green World: In Dreams - Another Green World is the lo-fi synth pop project of Alec West based in Memphis, TN. I'm not sure what it is about Synthemesc artists, but there's certainly something to be said about nearly every one of them. Another Green World is just the latest example of the many beautiful things happening there. It took me a while to wrap my mind around the art that In Dreams unapologetically throws at you with every guitar strum, beat, melodic keyboard riff and airy vocal. Though [...]
