"Back in my day, we used to call these CD singles," grumbles the curmudgeonly old critic. A mish-mash collection of remixes, out-takes, and jams from The Antlers , (together) contains only two songs that weren't on this year's exceptional Burst Apart in some form or another. The EP's central hook is the collaborations it contains, but disappointingly, they're collaborations only in a technical sense. (together) features appearances by Bear in Heaven, Neon Indian, and Nicole Atkins, but rather than come up with something [...]
Tweet Listen to The Antlers 's cover of The xx 's song "VCR" below. During the week it was announced that The Antlers will be releasing "(together)" , a new EP on November 22nd that will host collaborations with Neon Indian , Nicole Atkins , and Bear In Heaven , along with outtakes [...]
La última vez que supimos de The Antlers fue a principios de este año cuando la banda presentó al mundo su cuarta producción discográfica, <a href=" http://cucharasonica.com/2011/ 05/the-antlers-entrevista" Burst Apart , un disco en el que se atrevieron a explorar nuevos campos sonoros y con el que han obtenido buenas críticas en los medios especializados. Para continuar un poco con la promoción de este disco y aprovechando también el material ya grabado en las sesiones del mismo, la banda ha decidido publicar un nuevo EP el próximo 22 de noviembre [...]
Tina Tyrell It's saying something when Annie Clark's looks rank a ways down the list of things she has going for her as St. Vincent . If we're keeping score, then you'd have to put her angelic, crystalline coo of a voice and virtuosic, elliptical guitar skills right at the top (though which of the two should come first is grist for hours of debate). And of course neither would be anything without her songwriting acumen, which nimbly treads the terrain between odd and accessible, between abstract and evocative. But underpinning all of [...]
No último dia 06 em Nova York, rolou uma noite de shows em homenagem ao cantor Tom Petty . Entre atores, comediantes e mais um monte de gente famosa que estava no evento, a ala musical foi bem representada por Norah Jones , Nicole Atkins , Nathan Followill , Fabrizio Moretti e Regina Spektor , que é fã do Tom Petty, mas só quis assistir as apresentações e não cantou. Na quinta edição do Petty Fest , Norah Jones fez backings com Nicole e Jessie Bailyn [...]
Filed under: News , Video , Exclusive Courtesy of Cabo Wabo It didn't take Mick Fleetwood and Nicole Atkins very long to figure out they had a connection. While sharing a bottle of tequila and bonding over a love of the blues, Atkins managed to impress the Fleetwood Mac drummer with some obscure facts about his legendary band's early, debauched years. "She definitely was aware of some things [...]
Frank Yang I'm sure they didn't intend to be away for so long - it wasn't their fault that the 2009 edition of the Toronto Islands show for which they were the undercard was cancelled - but as of Friday night's long-awaited show at the Sound Academy., it had been over four years since Explosions In The Sky last played Toronto and you could round up closer to five if you're talking headlining shows. A long time for any active, touring band but an eternity for an act whose fanbase grew [...]
So what if it's an extended tequila commercial? The pairing is unexpected and cool. You've heard pretty much everything you need to know about Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, but what you probably didn't know before this clip is how close to deportation an earlier version of the band came after a gig with the Grateful Dead. You probably haven't heard Edith Piaf mentioned this much outside of a theatre luncheon and you probably never thought you'd see Nicole Atkins and Mick Fleetwood jam. But there they are... and it's pretty...

Justin Evans After a prolific career of twenty years, an artist can be forgiven for choosing to settle into some manner of creative comfort zone or perhaps repeating themselves. And while Eric Bachmann isn't necessarily continuing to break new artistic ground, he's covered enough terrain over the years that even revisiting past efforts remains a wonderfully unpredictable exercise. Reach back to Archers Of Loaf for some ragged and jagged proto-indie rock, early Crooked Fingers or his solo work for stark yet rich folk-rooted singer-songwriter fare, later Crooked Fingers for gorgeous Spanish-inflected [...]
[photo courtesy of JC McIlwaine and Bowery Houselist ] After several near misses, we were fortunate to finally catch Nicole Atkins live for the first time since March at Maxwell's . As she is currently on tour in support of The Felice Brothers (recording coming soon), Nicole's set was an abbreviated version of her recent performances. While we pined for her mid-set solo segment, her Webster Hall show on Friday was full of peak moments - her band The Black Sea continues to impress, particularly guitarist Irina Yalkowsky [...]
They are unmatched for their energy and intensity, and the music is absolutely amazing, so if you love music then you have to do this for yourself!

Words and photos by Cheryl Demas "The boys of summer": New York's Fountains of Wayne could have borrowed that moniker from Don Henley when they played the Birchmere on Monday night. Not only were many of the songs actually about summer, but they repeatedly introduced songs as "being about summer", continuing the joke through the entire set. The venue, which bills itself as "America's Legendary Music Hall", was full of framed memorabilia and families. The crowd was largely couples in their 40s and families with children. [...]
It was humid as all hell. We didn't have a 1/43 cable. Then we ran out of beer. (Olivia Mancini on the beer run.) Then we did have a 1/43 cable. But then Nicole through the PA wouldn't sync. Neal leaned over to me and said, "Get ready for some rain in 45." Then the drops. "Let's make that 5." But the rain held off long enough for Nicole Atkins outside Som Records on Sunday to make the [...]
Nicole Atkins was in DC over the weekend to play The Birchmere but she came by Som Records for an in-store (or on-sidewalk as it was). Atkins was supposed to be plugged in, but no proper cable could be found, so what we got instead was her lovely voice and an acoustic guitar-I think we made out better in the end. If you don't know her, she's well worth investigating: her songs are observant and witty, with a voice like the blues covered in honey. I shot Atkins' set for [...]
We'd call it an in-store performance if it wasn't outside the store. Nicole Atkins, touring in support of one of our favorite releases for the year, Mondo Amore returns to DC Sunday (8/7) and Monday (8/8) for two shows at the Birchmere with Fountains of Wayne —tickets available here! —but before those two dates, she's stopping by DC's Som Records for a special in-store—well, wait— outside the store performance.
