Hace unos años me encontré con Ana Montiel , una artista española cuyo trabajo me encantó por varias razones: su gráfica es rica en patrones, sus trazos son orgánicos y está sellada por cálidas geometrías. Su biografía se resume con el siguiente gráfico, que ella misma hizo, así la presentamos, con una pequeña muestra de su creatividad, antes de compartirles la entrevista: Emma: La primera vez que vi tu trabajo fue con la serie Visual Mantras [...]

Shervin Lainez If it were as recently as last year, I would be spending this post - hell, yesterday's post - talking about how after arriving in Chicago last Saturday, I went almost straight to Beat Kitchen to see Laura Stevenson and Field Mouse play, on account of missing the Toronto show of their tour this past Tuesday because of this little vacation. But because I've grown as a person and am no longer spending all my time and energy trying to make it to shows and write about them, I have nothing to [...]

Just in case you didn’t know, Of Montreal will be playing at the Canal Club on Thursday, May 23. They’re very artistic and somewhat crazy, but I love them. They have a brand new album entitled "Lousy With Sylvianbriar" coming out this fall and I can't wait for it. Enjoy the exotic sounds of the songs below and you’ll understand why the Canal Club will be nuts when they perform.

At Berlin's Night + Day Festival over the weekend, the xx invited Jessie Ware, their peer in warm, poised, inward-looking London club music, to the stage for something very cool. Over the track from Jamie xx's " Sunset " edit, they fused together two circa-2000 rave classics: Modjo's " Lady (Hear Me Tonight) " and Stardust's " Music Sounds Better With You ." The xx handled the "Lady" hook, while Ware sang the everliving hell out of "Music Sounds Better With You," and the whole thing just sounded awesome. The Berlin crowd, bless them, knew both hooks well enough to [...]
No one buys albums anymore, goes the music industry truism. And yet, for all that the format's commercial viability may or may not be on the wane, sitting and listening to a great album from start to finish is one of the greatest pleasures that music can bring. Flavorwire recently got to thinking about how one might build a record collection if you really only did buy one record a year. So here's the result of our thought exercise: 50 albums you really should own, one a year from 1963 until the present day. Yes, of course this mean things [...]
Complete with costume changes, set pieces, balloons, and clowns, Of Montreal played one hell of a rock show.

Photos and words by Brandon Winters A sold out crowd at the Echoplex adorned in feathers, face paint, eclectic jewelry, and clashing garb shouted in excitement as of Montreal took the stage. A high energy opening by Houston's Wild Moccasins helped set the tone with their bubbly, infectious rock style and jams. Balloon animals and objects already floated across the crowd from a girl in the front row prior to the show, but these humble creations were soon met with wacky balloons brought by of Montreal's crazy clowns that danced onto the stage during the second song.

Get in the thick of it on this Thursday: ► Three decades into its career and still going strong, Yo La Tengo visits the Fonda Theatre behind their 13th album, "Fade." ► Big hometown show for rock quartet Dead Sara , who've become road warriors since releasing their debut last year. Emily Armsrong and gang headline the El Rey Theatre, supported by Secret Empire. ► In the middle of a big national tour after releasing two album last yaer, Of Montreal brings its theatrical live show to the Echoplex, [...]
Wild Moccasins were always one of my favorite bands to see in Houston. Fun, catchy songs with the stage presence to back it up. It's a band that looks like they're actually enjoying playing for you. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten a chance to catch them since moving to Austin. That is until Monday night, when I saw them open for Of Montreal at the Mohawk, a great example of a bill that actually works together. If you like Of Montreal, there's a good chance you'll like Wild Moccasins. The bands are on a U.S. tour for [...]

of Montreal: Young Froth/Taypiss - The weather in Chicago isn’t exactly conducive to anticipating summer, but you guys, I have found my summer album. It is called Young Froth/Taypiss , and it’s 14 early of Montreal tracks that I can’t believe I have gone this long without hearing. My first thought when I put the album on was that track one, ‘Absent Plot’, is one of the most lovely ramshackle indie songs I have ever heard. There really is no better way for me to describe it. And ‘Dee’s Enochian Alphabet’? An of Montreal [...]

CHAPPO + Nevada Color + Chupacabra 6119 Penn / 05.06 / 9:00 / $10 Words by Brendan Last time of Montreal came to town, I had to go. They're one of my favorite all-time bands, so I wasn't going to miss that. I met some friends there early on to catch the first opener, when the place still wasn't packed. Not having any expectations, I was kinda blown away by the energy of CHAPPO . [...]
“And this is the room /one afternoon I knew I could love you” - King of Carrot Flowers Part 1 Jeff Magnum, main musician for long-dead indie rock legends NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL, has fans slavering at the news of a reunion. The line up will be Magnum, Jeremy Barnes, Scott Spillane and Julian Koster. Members The post Neutral Milk Hotel announce reunion appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .

Will Westbrook Guys, in case it wasn't obvious, running a music blog that tries to update daily is hard work. So when something comes down the wire like, oh, a Neutral Milk Hotel reunion, it's not the sort of low-hanging fruit one passes up, even if everyone and their mother is reporting it. And so even though you've surely already heard, Jeff Mangum - having confirmed via his 2011 solo tour that people do indeed still care about his old band - has gotten Scott Spillane, Julian Koster, and Jeremy Barnes to reform the [...]
![[News] of Montreal Releasing New Album in the Fall](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4917921_lg.jpg)
of Montreal frontman Kevin Barnes took to the band's Tumblr and revealed some exciting news. Following up last year's Paralytic Stalks , the band will release a new album titled Lousy with Sylvianbriar this fall. Here's what Barnes had to say: I'm so happy to say that we've just finished a new album! It is titled "lousy with sylvianbriar". We recorded it in my home studio on a 24 track tape machine. It is pretty different from Paralytic Stalks. Definitely more G Parsons than K Penderecki this [...]

Kevin Barnes and his band of Montreal have finished recording their 12th studio album titled Lousy with Sylvianbriar, which will be out sometime this fall. According to a post on the band's Tumblr , the title was inspired by Sylvia Plath and the album has a real Gram Parsons/Grateful Dead/Neil Young feel to it this time around. Strange maybe, but longtime of Montreal fans should be familiar with Barnes' propensity to flip the script on the band's sound. Read his statement about about the record below (via Exclaim ): I'm so happy [...]
