Barón Libre , Arca UNO NYC, Venezuela Rating: 84 by Pierre Lestruhaut We might as well just get through with it right away. Although being referred to in some mediums as the project of some mysterious Venezuelan prodigy living in New York, Arca is in fact the work of Alejandro Ghersi, none other than the dude who had been making CF-approved electronic indie pop a few years ago under the name Nuuro. With this new Arca moniker, Ghersi has taken [...]
The Poni Republic released a very special EP with remixes for Jóvenes y Sexys' first and still only release Bruno EP . Club Fonograma favorites Maria y Jose and Pepepe took care of the remixes for "El Reloj" and "Gold Day" respectively, the Venezuelan duo reinvented "Suerte" in a very dark, smoky, and possibly defining sound for their future full length album. Now we can't lie to you, we've had 75% of this release on our iPods for a long time (years maybe), but it's nonetheless, a nice recollection of what was our second favorite EP of the 00-10 [...]
Hey everybody, we're coming very close to the end of our netlabel & Blogspot "era". That sounds pretty wicked, right? Well, it is. But don't mind that, for we have an entirely better and rather more interesting surprise for you guys. Oh, don't worry. We will tell you all about our "good bye" within the third surprise we have planned for you, but before that (again), let's go back to the true meaning of this post. Our Venezuelan "panitas", Jóvenes y Sexys , are back. Were they ever gone? Not really, well, in a way, [...]
It's hard not to fall in love with Jóvenes y Sexys, we certainly are. Every song they put out reinforces what we've been saying; they're the new great South American band and will breakthrough as high and loud as Hello Seahorse! Did with Bestia. This time they're surprising us with a daring remix for one of HuHuHu's most celebrated tracks, "No Viniste", recently covered by Carla Morrison. The remix is one of the many revisions expected to pop up on consideration to appear on Natalia Lafourcade's special edition of her critically acclaimed album, expected to hit the shelves [...]
Amon! nos presenta este ep llamado Cuqui Fresh (no tuvimos que ver en eso), trabajo de remixes que saca como solista (ya no más Mash! Amon!?) y que consiste en tres remixes que le hace a Mosquetero, La Vida Boheme y Nuuro -puro Venezuela. échenle un oido y agrégenlo en el tumblr para saber más de él. Este ep es excelente material y le ha puesto un AMON muy grande, así que quiéranlo. Amon! - R.I.T.M.O Amon! - Radio Capital Amon! - U/n Pas</3o [...]
At this day and age it's hard to categorize anything as a rarity, but I'll try to sell this as one, it's definitely a distinctive piece on Club Fonograma's library. "Safe Safe Safe" it's a hard-to-find awesome track by Nuuro, and also one of his best. We've danced (+ felt) to it so much it only feels fair to pass it on. It's been a quiet 2010 for Alejandro Ghersi, but he's probably making music, hopefully as groundbreaking as that delivered on The Reddest Ruby . The track was part of a folder to promote [...]
Esto lo conocí gracias a Infamous !, que revisando el soundcloud se topó con un mix de una lista tan variada que había que escuchar porque sí. Contactamos al dúo y nos respondió Amon! que es el que está a la cabeza de ese set y nos dice que su compañero Mash! lo ayuda con los mashups (duh) pero que su set nunca se publicó. Amon! es venezolano que está recien mudado al Perú donde seguirá trabajando en la música y viene en septiembre para hacer algunas fiestas; ya organizaremos algo ahí con él. Bueno, a lo [...]
We're big fans of Ulises Hadjis, one of those few young singer-songwriters that merit to be referred as cantautores . His debut album Presente , was one of our favorite albums of 2008, a quiet concise listen of temporal excursion, it's also a seamless and intimate offering in its way to transcend into the realm of the melodramatic popular song. Everything is set for the re-release of the album, which includes five remixes from Dr. Phono, Dolli, Odnam (from Los Amigos Invisibles), Roberto Rincon and Nuuro. He won't make you buy his album again, so we're releasing these [...]
Want to know how to launch yourself from general obscurity to internet sensation? Nuuro has done it in 3 easy steps: 1) Make amazing music that sounds like a matured version of The Postal Service 2) Hire an equally obscure but just as talented graphic designer to make the CD cover and accompanying images ( Nikolay Saveliev ) 3) Offer it all up for free Yep, that's right, Nuuro (a bedroom producer from NYC) has made a truly gorgeous album full of well-crafted electro-pop and is giving it to [...]
Cool pattern video from Pepepe for his song "Jacinto Cenobio", first single from his fantastic Roba Orgon de Plantas y Animales . The kind of video I was definitely wishing for this great song, well, to be honest, I wasn't expecting any video at all. It's highly textured, distorted and very abstract, although after Animal Collective's Water Curses video I guess it's hard to think of any other video as an abstract. After Nuuro's The Reddest Ruby , Pepepe has released the second most precious release [...]
Los Grizzy dieron un show en vivo para WNYC en el que dieron a conocer su nueva canción 'Two Weeks' de las que todos han estado escribiendo por la web. Ya el single tiene video -bastante chévere y bizarro... en una iglesía y con ojos extraños que dan miedo. Como sea, esto viene en el album Veckatimest que sale mañana en UK y el lunes en USA.. bastante cambur por lo que he podido escuchar. Les dejo el video, el track... y un cover que hizo Nuuro para su Paper Heart EP, [...]
There's an awesome talk with Jovenes y Sexys on Panamerika (recorded in Mexico) they talk about a lot of stuff including the whole indie bands writing in English discussion, they're response is priceless and right on spot, is like they bitch-slap the sweeping purists. There's some talk on their Tucanes de Tijuana cover for the Rudo y Cursi Soundtrack , which by the way is finally on my hands (thanks Nacional), but the greatest thing about this podcast is their chat on Venezuela's indie scene. .. if there is one and such. Some might think we're very centralized in [...]
______________________________ ______________________________ _______ KATY. Mr. Racoon (Delhotel, Mexico) " Katy brings the very best of alternative pop, if that musical field exists at all. The album moves on fluently, in a revelatory phase that unfolds itself with much sympathy, one of the first high quality albums of the year." MP3: "Ferry 3" Review [...]
Alejo ( Nuuro ) nos dejó pensando qué sería de él después de ese comercial de maltas donde su canción versionada 'ABC' no paraba de pedir que quería tomar su malta regional (valga la publi). Pues, hemos avanzado; escuchamos su Amigos EP con cosas bien chéveres y antes de eso All Clear , que está en iTunes con 'Waiting' como canción que la gente más conoce. La broma es: Poni Republic anuncia su nuevo disco llamado Reddest Ruby que tiene unas 11 canciones. Ya había escuchado por ahí 'Avila' y 'Stone Girl', esta [...]
Hace cinco años Alejandro Ghersi comenzó a producir y regalar sus canciones en MP3 hasta que éstas consiguieron darle la vuelta al continente americano en distintas escenas y círculos sociales, en gran parte debido a la calidad y versatilidad de su trabajo, pues éste desde un comienzo ha oscilado entre varios géneros musicales que van desde el IDM, el drum & bass, la indietronica, el shoegazer electrónico, y muy, muy a menudo, el pop. Nuuro , luego de haber debutado con el LP "All Clear" a través del sello mexicano Soundsister , cuatro [...]
No, we're not taking a break from posting, although I'm pretty sure Keylow has since he never posts the things I send him (HINT!); but these are just some tracks I thought I'd post because they are the real mellow kind of chill out tracks that are a perfect break from all of the fast tempo dancefloor hypemachine hits . First up, this is one of my favorite remixes ever. It is a downtempo/ambient remix of Motorcycle 's 2003 hit " As The Rush Comes " (by the [...]
Munday Post No Sunday Post yesterday due to a family gathering but I am back at it with a Munday Post for you. The first half of the post today is comprised of the more poppy, experimental and indie stuff from the past week and the bottom half is the DJ material. ( Twitter ) ( Facebook ) ( myspace ) ( Hypemachine ) Many interesting things from last week and to begin its some more Permanent Vacation records with Woolfy [...]
(oui vous avez bien lu SEXOROID) Je suis un peu amoureux de la fille de match.com qui a envahit la bannière pub sur Myspace. Bon casting. Neimo - Lines (Midenken Cheval remix) Il y a un scénario posé sur le coin de la table, je fais un petit tour sur moi-même et je me transforme en Eric Murphy. Nuuro - Avila
Flowers Of Hell is a 16-piece band based out of Toronto and London. They will be releasing their album, Come Hell Or High Water on April 6th. Bluemschen by Flowers Of Hell from Come Hell Or High Water White Out by Flowers Of Hell from Come Hell Or High Water Kingsbury from Florida have shared the stage with the likes of Matt Pond PA, The Honorary Title, and French Kicks just to name a [...]
A Venezuelan armed with a drum machine, autotune, and synthesizers is trying to steal your heart and your moneys with his new album "The Reddest Ruby". Employing a velvety smooth Postal Service pastiche with a couple of digitized Cure flourishes here and there Nuuro will no doubt take you on a fantastic aural adventure, just don't stay up late forever. Nah, I'm kidding stay up as long as you want. Nuuro - Avila Nuuro - Stone Girl Nuuro Myspace [...]
