Queer musicians are making their mark on the mainstream everywhere these days. Between Tegan and Sara, Janelle Monae, The xx's Romy Madley Croft, Frank Ocean, Rostam Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend, and, if you didn't know, Kele Okereke from Bloc Party, it's getting easier to be an 'out' queer artist today. Underground queer musicians play an important part on the music scene by exploring the politics of gender, gay rights and a postmodern understanding of the body; but most importantly they provide a gender neutral space in love songs that some of us need. Because nothing kills a track [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-08T18:29:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4878891/entrevista-exclusiva-con-deptford-goth-uk/

For those unfamiliar with my Icelandic music fetish, experimental-classical music or that one song he did on The Hunger Games soundtrack, lafur Arnalds is a former hardcore drummer gone neo-classical producer who's been quietly acquiring representation as one of the most talented and ethereal musicians from Iceland. His stylistic range is one thing, but his undeniably hypnotic and captivating instrumental work functions on a thematic level so high, it feels as if it couldn't possibly have come from human hands. Past records such as ...and they have escaped the weight [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-01T12:52:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4863358/besides-daniels-heartfelt-folk-takes-us-in-stream/
Last year I read a write-up accompanying a La Blogotheque session with Perfume Genius that stuck with me - When an artist is heartfelt and when their music is served up, in earnest, when all you know of this artist is the conviction with which they express their inner selves through their medium, to meet them face-to-face can be an intimidating moment. Such is how I feel about Besides Daniels This Marvelous Grief . Atlanta's Besides Daniel is the sound of a [...]]]> text/html 2013-03-06T14:35:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4817151/telling-stella/

Slow Dakota - Our Indian Boy Sometimes, the most moving, meaningful art is produced in the aftermath of a significant situation, good or bad, and this is exactly how Slow Dakotas Our Indian Boy came to exist.PJ Sauerteig, aka Slow Dakota , could never have guessed that his volunteer trip to India would go the way it did - the culture shock, extreme heat, and living conditions were overwhelming, causing him to return to the US.

That bit belatedly, we set sail for the South Coast and Brighton's estimable The Great Escape for a first time just last year , where the primary intention was to get to grips with the live shows of the likes of Grimes, Perfume Genius , Loney, Dear and so forth artists who had otherwise eluded our attentions in that all-important live regard. Frequently equated to a reliably windswept British alternative to SXSW, I was unsure of what to expect of the festival. Queueing of course, although otherwise I was left in the dark as I [...]]]> text/html 2013-02-06T10:07:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4763188/perfume-genius-video-star-found-dead-of-apparent-suicide/
The star of a Perfume Genius music video, Arpad Miklos has been found dead of an apparent suicide. The gay porn actor, aged 45, was discovered unresponsive at his New York apartmenton Sunday (3 February). New York writer Randal Lynch confirmed on LGBT YouTube channel Gwist that a suicide note was found with his body. Lynch says of Miklos: "There was a lot more to him than just that surface persona. He was a very active person in the gay [...]]]> text/html 2013-02-05T22:10:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4769143/perfume-genius-hood/

Words: Saam Das Rumours circulated last night surrounding the potential administration of UK high street entertainment retailer HMV, along with a suitable Twitter hashtag. While there could be life in the old dog yet but the situation looks ominous. It's news that we've all expected for a while. I'm not going to attempt to dissect the situation, instead I'd rather reflect on some of my own #HMVmemories as both an employee and a consumer.

Nyligen fick jag hra Rikard, vad har hnt med dig? Du har blivit s smooth. P ett musikaliskt plan d. Det stmmer nog: jag har fallit djupt ner i 90-talets triphop, dansat mer som Thom Yorke n som Hkan Hellstrm och lyssnat p en Usher-lt utan att hata det. Men det r ju inte bara jag. rets popstjrna Lana Del Rey har onekligen krat ner sig i diskreta triphopbeats och R&B har till sist brjat tilltalas med den suddiga indietermen framfr sig.

2012...what a year of music. We got new releases from favorites such as Animal Collective, Dirty Projectors, Grizzly Bear and heard new favorites in Father John Misty, Nude Beach, Tanlines, and more.

ILLUSTRATION BY LYDIA CONKLIN 2012 was a spectacular year in music - one with so many records we truly loved that narrowing down the list was difficult. Ordering it, however, was almost impossible. This was a year of shifting genres and experimentation. This was a year that introduced us to some bands that will remain on rotation for years to come and albums that are already on their way to becoming modern classics. Along with the return of many favorites, we were given the debuts from Django Django , Alt J , Frank Ocean , [...]]]> text/html 2012-12-20T14:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4686735/hck-best-albums-of-2012/
