With a largely Roxy-esque sound and the occasional talk of space invaders comes Padre Pio's six song outing, The Madeline EP . The work incorporates well written songs brought to fruition by David Mosey's charismatic vocals juxtaposed with steady guitar, synths, and sax. "Common Day" is the standout, starting slow though reaching impact by way of a colorful guitar riff and saxophone. The songs were composed by Portland transplant David Mosey and produced by New York keyboardist Joe McGinty. audio: madeline [...]
Most Likely To: send you back into your stacks of wax to dust off platters cut by the real deal stars of new wave and glam. There are few things more disappointing than almost loving an album. It is worse than hating an album, because generally when you really dislike an album it is an easy and visceral thing, your hackles are raised the minute the music hits your ears. When you want to like an album, though, you shake and bristle and wrestle with it, trying to put your arms around it. [...]
Yes sir! The original title of this mixtape was "I Could Have Danced All Night" but then I decided to update it for the LOL-cat generation. These songs are for a fancy-casual dance party. For those of you who don't know what that means, it's when you wear what you normally wear and do some fancy dancing. Duh. Ideally, some drinking should happen before this playlist is broken out. People should catch the buzz, but they shouldn't be smangled. Their general level of drunken-ness should be fancy, you know? Unless you're under 21. No drinking should [...]
Wednesday, January 21, 2009 Today's Quick Mention: Anyone else seen Chandhi Chowk To China? The wife and I ventured to South Austin over the weekend to see (experience is probably the more appropriate word, but whatever) it and we ended up being blown away by its sheer zaniness. Bollywood Kunk Fu Epics are awesome. Here's an EP. Enjoy. : Deastro - Parallelogram : For whatever reason I missed out on climbing aboard the Deastro bandwagon when he released his debut a [...]
Boogaloo Sunset The Hype Machine`s very sharp and comprehensive end of year lists have grabbed some well deserved attention this week. Entitled ` Music Blog Zeitgeist `, you have the best music chosen by the strange breed that are Music Bloggers over the twelve month period that was called 2008. Hats off to a beautifully designed and well thought out project, we are green with envy, almost a dazzling shade of lime green in fact. Cactus`s : Where is My Skeleton Learn [...]
Songs That Might Otherwise Pass You By (Podcast show notes are in the post before this one) Padre Pio, " Madeline " The Fanatic Promotions bio for Padre Pio is not being hyperbolic when they call this music "Roxy Music-esque". If I didn't know who this was, I would swear it was a long-lost Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry recording. David Mosey's singing is pleading without being pathetic. It's passionate and romantic--the kind of voice that made young New Wavers in the 80's swoon (not talking about me, or anything...). Of [...]

With most bands and publicists in vacation mode last week and since after two holiday mixtapes , our well of indie Christmas carols and Hanukkah hymns was beginning to run dry, we didn't have much to work with for last week's Friday Mixtape. So we decided to scrap it and return with one this week that would be down right bangin'. Suffice to say, I think we accomplished our mission. Below you'll find a mix of this week's best new singles, covers, and remixes along with a multitude of mp3s from some talented up-and-comers. Enjoy! [...]
photo: Tatiana McCabe Retro poppy art-rock is an label that might stick to Padre Pio , a band started by David Mosey in 2006. With melodic songs channeling mid-seventies David Bowie and Jonathan Richman, and a saxophone lifted out of the Roxy Music songbook, The Madeline EP is a warm mini pop album. Produced by Joe McGinty (Psychedelic Furs) main man David Mosey warm baritone bath in the spotlight, the instrumentation wrapped around him like a silk sheet. [...]
Padre Pio was started in 2006 in a run-down carriage house turned living and rehearsing quarters in Bushwick, Brooklyn. In spite of, or perhaps because of the leaking ceilings, as-of-yet unidentified species of spiders and constant hum of diesel engines, The Madeline EP was written. The songs were composed by Portland transplant David Mosey and produced by New York keyboard legend Joe McGinty. McGinty is most widely known for his five years as the keyboardist for The Psychedelic Furs and has also worked with Ryan Adams, The Ramones, Nada Surf, Kevin Ayers, Martha Wainwright, Devendra [...]
Working in a run down carriage house in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, NY, Padre Pio [Myspace] crafted their debut, The Madeline EP, while immersed in the smoke and hum of diesel engines. ...
Ogni giorno mi arrivano un centinaio di mega di mp3 nella casella della posta. Solitamente chi li invia non si prende minimamente la briga di controllare se possano in qualche modo rientrare nei miei interessi. Ormai non ascolto quasi più niente, perché fortunatamente tutti amano descriversi preventivamente con generi e gruppi di riferimento. Faccio uno strappo però per questa segnalazione di un gruppo di NY con una voce stile Brett Anderson più baritonale. Non li avrei indicati (e nemmeno sentiti, se per questo) se non fosse stato che si chiamano Padre Pio e uno dei loro pezzi si [...]
