![[MEGA Playlist] 60+ Instrumental Tracks You Need to Listen to](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4741497_lg.jpg)
Everyone loves lyrics. Whether they're light-hearted and playful, soul-gripping and gut-wrenching, or abstract and avant garde, we all love to sing along, relate certain verses to our personal lives, or just be taken away by another person's story. On the other hand, hearing a great instrumental track is an entirely different experience. Without having words to identify with, your brain is free to let the music create an image in your mind. The interpretation is more so up to you than if you had someone defining it with their own words. Having this blank canvas allows your mind [...]

Emma Ruth Rundle of Red Sparowes fame and The Nocturnes reveals details about her latest band Marriages.
There is a lot of talk these days about angry, raging youth. The reason people are so fond of talking about them is that, from the aimless riots of Swedish adolescents to the proclamations of England’s would-be literary movement, the “Angry Young Men,” there is the same utter innocuousness, the same reassuring flimsiness. Products of [...]

Avoiding clichés, expressions and overly used adjectives, Red Sparowes’ subsidiary band - Marriages - presents an earthy spiral drive of ethereal melody and muscular, unsympathetic build. Jagged edged, serrated white noise from Emma Ruth Rundle (vocals & guitar), David Clifford (drums) and Greg Burns (on bass & synthesizer) presents itself as an imaginative and congenial six track album that gets better & better with each repeated amusement. ‘White Shape’ is one example within Kitsune that is strictly remarkable. Released on 1 May 2012 on Sargent House Records. [...]

The alt-folk noir and post-rock of The Nocturnes is another feather in the cap of Red Sparowes member Emma Ruth Rundle.
Made Out of Babies is a great band. They make great records and they put on great live performances and their vocalist, Julie Christmas, often seems, at least in concert, truly unhinged, in the best possible way. They are, in a word, awesome. Only I guess I should say "were," not are," 'cause Julie Christmas [...]
The Nocturnes' gorgeous hybrid of folk and dream-pop is the stuff of slow-motion dreams and translucent hallucinations. The L.A. quartet is the brainchild of Red Sparowes guitarist Emma Ruth Rundle, who along with RS bandmate Dave Clifford on drums, guitarist Julian Rifkin and multi-instrumentalist Paris Patt, fashions dirgey anthems out of echoing guitars and choral harmonies — think Red House Painters behind Beach House. Their new album "Aokigahara" is the first with the current lineup; 20092s "A Year of Spring" was largely a collaboration between Rundle and drummer Daniel Yasmin. "Aokigahara" is not necessarily for the nocturnal, but it's [...]

20. Coliseum - House With a Curse I've always admired the tenacity and purity of Coliseum's thunderous breakneck hardcore, but I've never been sold on its lasting impact. The effects were always brutally immediate; once the band's blistering locomotive rage barreled through your speakers, there was never much left to remember it by. House With a Curse doesn't stray too far from the group's core aesthetic—it's still loud, raw and fierce as fuck—but it embraces the once subtle sludgy stoner rock qualities of the band's music and pushes them further to the forefront.

So, normally I don't look at other lists of people's favorite records because I don't want to be influenced, but inevitably I glance at some afterward and notice that I left shit off my list. Oh well. Ian told me about that Agalloch album, Marrow Of The Spirit and I thought it was good. The great, high-energy Milwaukee band Call Me Lightning put out a really good album this year too, When I Am Gone My Blood Will Be Free . Red Sparowes' The Fear Is Excruciating, But Therein Lies The Answer , Neil Young's [...]
