As always Sacred Bones dished out a great batch of singles. I'm not sure how they're keeping the quality and the schedule so excellent over there but I'm certainly not complaining about the results. Spirit Photography - Time is Racing 7" This is one of the best releases SB has put out yet, both visually and sonically. The band includes members from RSTB fave Christmas Island, but their menacing take on UK post-punk is a far stretch from Christmas Island's kiwi [...]

pinknoise is the product of the uber-talented Singh family (Jayashree, Gyan and Jivraj) and guitar genius Amyt Datta. Indiecision caught up with Jayashree Singh. Skinny Alley (Jayashree Singh, Gyan Singh, Amyt Datta, Jeffrey Menezes, Jeffrey Rikh) is perhaps one of the most well recognised names in the Indian independent music scene. With over a decade of music and two albums to their name, the band has achieved more than most and doesn't look like it's letting up. Which is why [...]
The release of the film Rock On!! and its subsequent success has led to much discussion about Indian rock. A lot of it has to do with intricacies of the film and representations of the 'scene'. Very little of it has to do with what it means for Indian rock and what affect it can/will have on independent rock artists here. NDTV's taking a step with a discussion on the future of rock in India. The panelists for the discussion are Vishal Dadlani ( Pentagram ), Subir Malik (Parikrama) and Jayashree Singh (Skinny Alley/ pinknoise ). [...]
The Pink Noise - Pure Candy The Pink Noise - Blinded By Arcade Lights The Pink Noise - Oh Caroline Laser beams shoot out of the garbage can and Bryan Ferry haunts the curbside, busking with washed up synth stabs and crooning into the night. Videogame Formula 1 lurches meet fried disco shuffles and Madonna's there too cruising in a red convertible, sunglasses, California. Colour shoots through these no-waves here and there, splashing on the side walk; reds and purples, [...]

This track comes from what I think is the first Pink Noise album. It's certainly an interesting experience what with their habit of sticking filters on everything and seeing what sound comes out. The album is called "Dream Code" and is avaliable on vinyl only of which there is only 400 copies (I think) through the Sacred Bones label. Buy Here _______________________ mp3: Pink Noise - Micro _______________________
Another release from the Sacred Bones stable that ignites the torch of melted plastic synth-psych and carries it high; The Pink Noise's brand of scorched pop is yet more reason for me to love this label. Picking up atmospheric strains of pink and turquoise marbled synth-pop from the mid eighties and filtering it through a beat up Ghetto Blaster; the band's sense for melody is keen, but it's their ability to crumple it in all in aluminum foil and microwave the whole mess into flames that really sets them apart. Repeated listens to this peel away the layers and it [...]

photos by Devon Banks Last Tuesday night saw the Beg Yr Pardon event coast gracefully into its fourth edition. As always, the brownies were good, the barbeque optional, and the beer eventually free. The most important guest of the evening was a thriving AC unit, allowing a person to move around a bit without unwittingly changing the color of their shirt. The momentum seems to be picking up, with an increasingly full room of looky-loos. The swelled numbers were treated to a line-up that was meaner, darker, [...]
If I remember correctly, the last one I attended had a very comfortable t-shirt temperature. Just sayin'... Tags: Beg Yr Pardon , the Delancey , Susu , the Song Corporation , Medic Medic , Pinknoise , Free Beer , Fluxblog
