Hersendood na weer een geweldige editie van het KRAAK festival? Nee, een kleine hoeveelheid cellen houdt dapper stand. De auditieve cortex is in ieder geval nog intact, want ook deze maand is het gelukt het kaf van het koren te scheiden. Van de akoestische black metal van Urpf Lanze , via de minimalistische drones van Éliane Radigue naar de slidegitaar improvisaties van Jon Collin ; op het eerste gehoor rustige muziek, doch met een intense uitwerking. Intens was ook het release schema van maart, vooral in de staart. [...]

Words: Simon Opie It might be the second month of 2013 but yes, our FADED GLAMOUR 2012 retrospective still rumbles on. This time it's my top ten albums of 2012 featuring a double appearance of Ben Chasny , and several appearances of great music. 10. Rangda – 'Formerly Extinct' Ben Chasny of Six Organs of Admittance in the company [...]
Rangda's new album Formerly Extinct is an enjoyably dusky jam by the supergroup. 08_-_night_porter.mp3 [...]
Experimental neo-folk guitarist Ben Chasny, better known by the stage moniker Six Organs of Admittance, is playing tonight at Johnny Brenda's. Chasny, who is also part of Comets on Fire and Rangda, dropped Ascent in August, which has been received as being an especially psychedelic and heavily gnostic release. The 21+ show tonight starts at ... Continue reading
Giusto per spezzare il girone infernale a nome 'Swans' in cui sono quasi completamente caduto nelle ultime settimane, torno a bomba su Ben Chasny . 'Ascent', il tredicesimo della discografia a nome Six Organs of Admittance, è un altro gioiellino ma anche un lavoro a sè nella discografia della band. Non ho il disco sottomano, non conosco esattamente il 'personnel' che ha suonato sul disco ma da quel che ho letto in giro, soprattutto su questa bellissima intervista , Chasny si è di nuovo unito a Ethan Miller ( Howlin' Rain) e Noel von [...]
You’re excused for having never heard of Rangda , the secret weapon trio of renowned indie label Drag City. Formerly Extinct is just the instrumental sorta-supergroup’s second LP, but Rangda's three immensely talented members actually have decades of experience between them. Their 2010 debut, False Flag , only left questions about how they should sound playing together, not how well they could sound. With Formerly Extinct , Rangda evolves into something distinctly more maniacal but also clear-eyed, adopting an image of both experience and youthful-mindedness. The band works the [...]
Ik typte in september meer dan drieduizend woorden op mrbungle.nl, over Mike Khoury & Ben Hall , Expo ’70 , Orphan Fairytale , Majutsu No Niwa , Reines d’Angleterre & Èlg en Christine Abdelnour . Tussendoor ook nog even het Incubate festival bezocht. Dan mag je met recht zeggen dat de herfst stormachtig is begonnen op het gebied van muziek; de releases vlogen mij om de oren. Zoals gewoonlijk stip ik die, tot nu toe aan de aandacht ontsnapt, nog even kort aan. [...]
As with the past few weeks, there is no shortage of solid, accomplished album releases, so many so that there are more than a dozen standout tracks from the stack of albums that officially dropped for the week of September 18th. There are excellent singles from familiar bands such as Grizzly Bear, Dinosaur Jr., Band [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
This week finally sees the U.S. release of An Awesome Wave , the awesome debut of Alt-J . We've been playing the U.K. band regularly on KEXP for months, but today you can pick up a copy for yourself. Also topping this week's list of new releases - not quite as long as last week's but still pretty dang long - is the anticipated new album by Grizzly Bear . Our Music Director, Don Yates, calls the Brooklyn band’s fourth album "a little more raw and aggressive than previous releases, giving their latest batch of complex, shape-shifting [...]
Rangda drops a new track from its forthcoming album on Drag City, Formerly Extinct .
Robert Pollard – Who's Running My Ranch [mp3] (from Jack Sells the Cow , out Sept 17 th on Fire Records ) Never to be outdone, GBV -frontman Robert Pollard continuously exudes and excretes indie rock that is simultaneously flippant and profound. [...]
![[Hype Hype Hooray] A Snap Judgment of Modern Music](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4454179_lg.jpg)
Hype Hype Hooray is a biweekly "critique" of the music scene and the blogosphere that feeds it, told through the lens of Jamie Hale, a journalist who likes music about as much as he likes scotch and a firm leather chair. Please enjoy with a grain of salt. Previously, on Hype Hype Hooray : "I have been penning this column as some sort of knowledge on the present music scene, but for the last year ... I haven’t been following anything at all ... I had lost everything ... I wandered the streets of music [...]

As major labels continue to exist behind the times, artists and labels with little capital and lesser reputations are producing some of the most innovative, interesting, and inspiring music. Whether it’s creating a new niche in digital technology or looking to once obsolete formats, Agitated Atmosphere hopes to pull back the curtain on a wealth of sights and sound from luminaries such as Six Organs of Admittance . The loss of Ben Chasny from Seattle (however temporary his stay) is a hole that will be hard to fill. Chasny’s presence in town lent itself to [...]

Het is zondagochtend stralend weer, maar de muziek begint alweer om 12 uur 's middags, dus begeef ik mij naar de kleine(re) zaal Reds. Daar speelt Marissa Nadler een stemmige soloset. Mooie stem en sombere folksongs, spacey akoestische gitaareffecten, mysterieuze teksten in de stijl van Leonard Cohen. Niet verwonderlijk dat Marissa een Cohen song gecoverd heeft (Famous blue raincoat). Een rustig begin van de derde ATP dag. Er draait ook een filmprogramma en je kunt zelfs naar een boekbesprekingsbijeenkomst van J.G. Ballard’s High rise. Volgens het programmaboek is High rise “the unnerving tale of life in a modern tower [...]
There are stars with enough mass to collapse on themselves, forming what have been theorized as black holes. It is thought that within these black holes there is a point called "singularity" at which all physical laws may cease to exist. At this point the curvature of space-time becomes infinitely large, and modern science can [...]
Minchia ritornano pure i Trumans Water. Dopo i Polvo e i Pavement ( mi sa solo live ma potrei sbagliarmi) anche i TW e l'amarcord continua, a dire il vero non li ascolto da secoli, God Speed the Punchline del '94 campeggia davanti a me in vinile ossia inascoltabile per adesso ma li ricordi belli storti e stonati come piaceva a me ai tempi. Continuano anche con le copertine patchwork, a volte davvero non cambia un cazzo, come ascoltarsi NothingFace come se fosse solo la decima volta e pensare di aver assimilato tutto compreso i titoli dei pezzi, [...]
Words: Simon Opie Rangda - 'False Flag' This album is a challenge – make no mistake. But it’s also music of the highest quality, so persevere. Rangda is Sir Richard Bishop (Sun City Girls), Ben Chasny (Six Organs of Admittance and Comets on Fire) and Chris Corsano (just about anyone you can think of – terrific, free drummer). Chasny, in particular, is in a rich creative vein at present and although Comets on Fire sadly seem [...]
