Portico Quartet- "Ruins"

Feb 6, 3:22pm The Needle Drop

A music video for the song "Ruins," which comes off the new, self-titled Portico Quartet album. It's out now on Real World . Combining elements of both jazz and downtempo, this English band creates a sound that's both chill and engaging. From ambient interludes to full-on grooves, the Portico Quartet has a lot of dynamics going for them. A lot of perplexing sounds, too. Looking forward to hearing more of this new album of theirs.

Bruce Springsteen track My City of Ruin

Nov 14, 2011, 11:09am The World Forgot

I could probably subtitle this post "It was songs like this that ultimately led me to starting a music blog." The year was 2006 and Amazon didn't have an mp3 store, iTunes was still wobbling around, and the idea that virtually every song, ever recorded, would be available for instant streaming on a mobile phone was unheard of. 2006 is when The World Forgot officially began and it was because of songs like My City of Ruin. I would occasionally stumble upon standout tracks (or in this case versions of tracks) that were so moving that I simply had to [...]

LISTEN: Talkdemonic - "Revival"

Sep 26, 2011, 8:01pm Mixtape Muse

Talkdemonic - "Revival" The changing of the season and the beauty that it brings. The viola that ebbs and flows throughout the first half of this song moves with the ease and grace of a fall breeze through the golden brown tones of the tree leaves, guiding one leaf after another gently towards the earth below. When things settle down momentarily around three quarters of the way through, you can feel the invigorating chill of the winter air arriving into town. When the vibrant green of summer fades to the rich [...]

Notable Album Release: Talkdemonic – Ruins

Sep 20, 2011, 1:42pm Knox Road

How happy was I when this record popped up in our inbox a little while ago?? Hint: very! Talkdemonic have been one of my favorites since I began my writing-about-indie phase and they've always remained on my radar. So, it's tremendous news that on October 4 the duo out of Portland, Oregon are dropping their new album, Ruins . Ruins is Kevin O'Connor and Lisa Molinaro's fourth full-length and it stretches the depths of our imagination through invigorating instrumentation.

The Black Metal Butterfly Effect 2 - featuring Of Wrath And Ruin

Aug 10, 2011, 3:36am The Ripple Effect

Sam, Bradley and I winked back into existence in the middle of my basement. After the transit disorientation faded I took inventory of myself and happily discovered that I was one hundred percent intact. It was exactly one week since we had travelled in time back to the year 2010 on our mission to alter musical history. Personally, after discovering Ghostfog, I viewed our first foray into the past as a smashing success! I firmly believed that when we returned to our own time the landscape of popular music would be wholly changed. [...]
