Tracklists can be found here and here , if you absolutely must, but we recommend going in blind on both of these: mp3: John Talabot :: FACT mix ( 167 mb ) Peaking Lights :: WEIRD UP 2012 ( [...]

100% SILK, 2012 // LP / BUY: VINYL 936 by Peaking Lights (released on the LA-based Not Not Fun Records) has been hyped to death as one of the best albums of 2011. Honestly, I'm not sure why as I find the album to be nothing special, maybe even a bit boring. Anyway. Not Not Fun sister label 100% Silk just dropped a nice 123 featuring remixes of tracks from 936 by fellow 100% Silk artists Ital, [...]
J'ai pris un peu de temps pour pondre cette deuxième sélection. Au moment où tout le monde fait son bilan d'une année finalement pas si terrible que ça, j'ai retenu quelques nouvelles productions qui ont rythmé ma fin d'année. Moins purple (et donc sûrement moins droguée que la précédente), cette sélection Purple Sounds est sûrement un peu plus bizarre et toujours aussi subjective. Au moment où quelqu'un s'est fait tatouer Drake sur la visage ( photo ), on comprend effectivement que 2012 risque de passer un cap apocalyptique assez effrayant. On commence avec Nacho Picasso , dont [...]
Por quinta ocasión se llevará al cabo el Austin Psych Fest , del 27 al 29 de abril en Texas.

Uno de los principales propósitos del Austin Psych Fest es promover y crear un campo fértil para la expresión artística a través de la música y el arte visual, apoyando los comercios locales en Austin y [...]

El South by Southwest siempre tiene muchas más bandas en su lineup que la mayoría de los demás festivales, pero eso no los detiene para seguir agregando grupos al evento. Además de las ya confirmadas, se añadieron: Sharon Van Etten, Youth Lagoon, Chairlift, Lana Del Rey, Grimes, Best Coast, Peaking Lights, Of Montreal, M. Ward, Zola Jesus, The War On Drugs, Nite Jewel, y más. Puedes ver el cartel completo del SXSW 2012 aquí .

Peaking Lights got a lot of love in the recent end of year polls, I'm not quite sure why to be honest with you; 'All the sun that shines, shine for you' is hardly the most inspired of lyrics in this day and age.. Anyway, they recently put out a remix EP and enlisted the chaps from 100% Silk to give their tracks a spot of cut and pasting; Ital, Cuticle and Innergaze all turn in excellent reworks, it's the latters who we feature here. Slow mo acid haus. Get the EP at Boomkat [...]
Dopo una lunghissima assenza da queste pagine, eccomi qui di ritorno, con la lista dei miei dischi preferiti del 2011, quantomeno tra quelli che ho ascoltato. Sono ben venticinque, con una Top 5, seguita da una lista di altri venti titoli in rigoroso ordine alfabetico. E che il 2012 sia almeno altrettanto esaltante! TOP 5 1. THE DECEMBERISTS - The King Is Dead + Long Live The King 2. EMA - Past Life Martyred Saints 3. JOSH T. PEARSON - Last Of [...]

I waited till 2011 to finalize my albums list - all my lists - partially due to laziness, being busy, the holidays... but mainly because I'm not sure what the hurry is. I don't do this for the web traffic (clearly), so I gave myself a little more time to decide than usual. (And as long as this goes up before the Village Voice' s Pazz n' Jop, I don't feel delinquent.) So here's my list, the top five or so have been a lock for almost half a year, but the rest were in flux right till I [...]

ALBUMS OF THE YEAR #20 - #16 #20 Peaking Lights - 936 - Key Sparrow ( MP3 ) Peaking Lights are a relatively new phenomena in my world; their sound is one characterised by thick, dubby basslines and wrangled psychedelic vibratos. This isn't reggae, but has some of the same appeal, especially when taken with the sunken Warpaint-style vocals which weave throughout '936'. As the band themselves put it on the Domino website, interestingly, "it's not linear, it's a cycle. A bunch of circles rotating at different speeds but still intertwined like [...]

From 100% Silk 's remix EP of Peaking Lights ' phenom 936 album, this Innergaze remix transforms " All The Sun That Shines " into a variation on their own trademark spectral hedonism. Retaining some of the dubby resonances of the original, the track is reimagined here as a shimmering, disco-ball burner. Shines For U (Peaking Lights Remix) by Innergaze

2. Peaking Lights – 936 Wanneer ik terugkijk op mijn schrijfsels van de afgelopen jaar op mrbungle.nl, lijkt het wel of ik hele dagen lsd, paddo's of andere trippy acid tot mij heb genomen. Niets is minder waar. Met de muziek van Peaking Lights op heb je dat ook niet helemaal nodig. In februari noemde ik 936 - uitgebracht op het Not Not Fun label - nog tamelijk onschuldig album van de maand, maar bijna een jaar later is het misschien wel mijn meest gedraaide lp van 2011 (mede [...]
![Peaking Lights – 936 Remixed [100% Silk] (2011)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3955488_lg.jpg)
100 % Silk , ha sido otro de los grandes sellos de este 2011, un sello que se caracteriza por tener un sonido propio y muy interesante, y cierra el año con a publicación de un muy interesante y EP, el dúo californiano de Peaking Lights (A.C.I.D= Aaron Coyes+Indra Dunis) a principios de año publicaban su disco 936, uno de los más interesantes de este año, y ahora el sello 100% Silk se ha encargado de realizar un EP con remezclas de temas de ese álbum, ha escogido 4 temas y 4 [...]

If you've been even remotely regular in following this blog, our number one shouldn't come as a surprise - I believe I've already bothered you enough with my love of Gang Gang Dance's latest effort (and GGD in general ). I'll leave the list unnumbered because, except for the first 7-8 entries, the rest come in kind of (but not entirely) particular order. And it's not a strictly albums -of-the-year list, as I've included some mixtapes/remix albums/ compilations. Also, I just realised we haven't covered half of this on the blog… Don't [...]
If it's December, then you know it's Mixmas time at You Ain't No Picasso! Each year I get a bunch of my favorite bands to contribute themed mixes and share their thoughts about each of the tracks MP3: The Bees - Who Cares What the Question Is? Hope you guys had a great Christmas! Mixmas [...]

Ποιά pancakes, εδώ έχουμε χαθεί μέσα στους κουραμπιέδες και τα πανετόνε! Τέλος χρονιάς με μιά τελευταία για εφέτος βουλιμική κρίση του ιπποποτάμου που μαζεύει από κουρελάκια παρελθόντος έως ότι μπορεί να αντέξει από electronica. Το υπέροχο Lost in the Pancakes είναι από το σχήμα του κημπορντίστα των Olivia Tremor Control που ονομάζει Pipes You See, Pipes You Don't κλεμένο από κάποιο παιδικό βιβλίο. Έχει κι άλλα ε δω . Ο frontman των πολύ αγαπητών μου Polyphonic Spree έχει καινούργιο πρότζεκτ και το ονομάζει Preteen [...]

Welcome to FWBA's best-of 2011. This has been such a meaningful year in music to me that it's tough to represent in one post. I'm going to be honest, this took me quite a long time. I wanted to do this year justice because personally, it was a total dream: living in San Diego working with some of my favorite artists, going to SXSW and Lollapalooza, seeing Dave Bazan in stranger's living rooms, Feist play a hometown show, saw tune-yards electrified show at Soda Bar clocking in as one of my favorite performances, watching Zach Rogue and my boyfriend playing [...]
