Some days music owns you. Sometimes you come across a piece of music that literally stops you in your tracks. As each phrase passes you don’t move an inch, voluntarily paralyzed, for fear of missing or accidentally drowning out some subtle nuance. This music reaches deeper than other music. Rachel Grimes latest release, Marion County 1938 is this kind of music. Chamber music isn’t exactly the first thing to jump to the front of the line when you think of styles of indie music, but yet, here it is. As a member of 90’s chamber ensemble [...]

"The so-called 'professional's' worst handicap, in making anything, is that his knowledge sets into him and concretizes all his thought, thus blocking him from creative adventure..." Stan Brakhage, introduction to Lenny Lipton's Independent Filmmaking (1972) Brakhage was fond of quoting Maya Deren’s etymological derivation of “amateur” from the Latin amator , or “lover”; that is, “one who does something for the love of the thing rather than for economic reasons or necessity.” And, indeed, cinema is unusual in that most of its avant-garde development has been initiated by so-called (or self-professed) amateurs. Take Marie Menken, [...]

If you're lucky enough to be close by or in Glasgow this weekend, then head on over to Eastern Promise, a music festival being brought to you by Platform over the 1st and 2nd of October. The lineup includes King Creosote and Malcolm Middleton on Saturday night (as you can see from this here poster). [...]

Photos by Ed Luna Though I was very much anticipating this show, it turned out I really had no idea what I was in store for. It's been a while since I've seen a set of only piano music, but Rachel Grimes (of Rachel's ) effortlessly filled the Wexner Center 's performance space with composed, emotional, divine music. Between donewaiting, Benco and events that I accidentally end up attending, I find myself seeing more live music than ever these days. Though more often than not they are bands I enjoy hearing in my [...]

Last Thursday night, we stopped in to Le Poisson Rouge to check out Glenn Kotche and Darin Gray's project On Fillmore , in one of their rare live appearances. After talking with the band last week , we couldn't have been more excited to see what was in store for us. Going into the show, we didn't know what to expect, but when we left we had been rewarded a show that was so dynamic, it almost defied description. Fun, experimental, technical, diverse, immersive; all of these words could be used to describe the awesomeness [...]

Click here to view the embedded video. The Wexner Center has had an interesting Spring and Summer series, boasting current indie giants Mumford and Sons, The xx and Midlake. While any show there is usually well visited, some seem to fall under the radar more than others. I hope this will not be the case on Saturday night as the performance space will host a double bill with On Fillmore and Rachel Grimes. On Fillmore is the project of Glenn Kotche (Wilco's drummer) and Darin Gray [...]

Word from Karate Body is that they are sold out, but I've seen a couple of copies floating around.  I know Underground Sound had one for $17 yesterday. Really good stuff and THE pitchfork agrees...

SHANNON WRIGHT HONEYBEE GIRLS (Vicious Circle) by Rachel Grimes of King's Daughters and Sons Having loved all of Shannon Wright's previous records, Honeybee Girls is more subtle, more restrained, and more settled. There is a clarity in the production and vocal quality that is new and more glistening.

Saturday night's lineup at Buster's had things flipped around a little bit, in my humble opinion.  The highlight of my night was the first act which was Louisville's (formerly) very own Papa M .  For those not aware of the significance or depth of Papa M's career, then allow me to lay it out real quick. Throughout the late 80s and early 90s the music scene in Louisville was one of the most progressive, important, and underrated scenes in recent music history.  You might not be aware of how much of the music [...]

I have a confession to make.  For years I would loudly proclaim my opinion that Lexington was vastly inferior to Louisville and that nobody in their right mind would ever want to live there.  Now, my love for Louisville hasn't waned a bit (I still think it's the greatest town in America), but Lexington is quickly making a case for being one of the most exciting towns in the Midwest.  With this year's Boomslang Fest courtesy of WRFL , they are [...]

Rachel Grimes , formerly of folklore-evoking Louisville chamber post rock collective Rachel's (whose founder Jason Noble is the reason for the Shellac-headlining benefit show announced this week), celebrates the release of her new album Book of Leaves tomorrow night (Thursday) at the 21C. The show will be the first in 21C's Hear + Now multimedia A/V series. Seeing as it's been a while since Rachel or Rachel's have surfaced, and this new record is her first solo outing, you shouldn't in good conscience miss this show. [...]
