From Senryu's latest album, Half Wild, comes a new claymation video by Kathleen Black, of Greensboro, NC, conceptualized by frontman, Wil Wright, of Knoxville, TN. The animation is actually Kathleen's first effort in the genre- well done girl. Senryu will be performing live tomorrow at the Longbranch Saloon in Knoxville along with Teenage Love.
Senryu, one of our favorite bands, is currently on tour around the US and we're honored to announce that we'll be presenting their New York City date, happening tomorrow at Brooklyn's Bruar Falls in Williamsburg. The show also features three other not to miss bands including Phil and the Osophers, Stars Regardless and killer BOB. [...]

We spoke with songwriter and lead singer Wil about the album and the meaning behind the single, which you can listen to and download after the jump. TMS: So [...]

Knoxville's Senryu have what many bands wish they did, an eclectic sound that keeps their now legendary cult following coming back for more; filling venues with an audience who doesn't just sing back their lyrics, they scream them. The band recently released a remix ep of their single 'Inklings' by DJ Tom Ato called All [...]
Given the volume of music available for consideration on One Track Mind, we invariably have to pass on a lot of tasty morsels. [tweetmeme] In a desire to share even more great, free music with you, the Sunday Sampler will offer a handful of tracks without the usual critical and biographical write-up. Less talk, more tunes. Pernice Brothers "Jacqueline Susann" from Goodbye Killer [to be released 6/15 | indie rock] [ download ] [...]

Senryu hail from Knoxville, Tennessee, and play music that's hard to describe. Aspects of power pop make their way into the music, although their tracks are far more complex than your average power pop song. Hints of psychedelics also find there way into tracks, giving us little tastes of shredding guitar lines and manic drum [...]
Knoxville's Senryu are releasing Inkling on April 13th. Ariel Saldivar, who performed with Polyphonic Spree and Broken Social Scene, sings on this one. Spare-lush-spare is the new loud-quiet-loud, and this title track holds out until about the three minute mark. I'm perfectly happy with the charm and simplicity of its beginning, and the song would be just fine without blooming into sonic multilayers, but I'm not complaining. That minute colors the song jubilant. Senryu - Inklings (mp3) Listen to more Senryu [...]
So we're less than a week away from another edition of South by Southwest. Soon the entire music world will descend on Austin for a week of endless drinking, party attending, and music viewing, all while failing to get an appropriate amount of sleep. An overwhelming thought to say the least, but we figured we'd get in a few more moments of normalcy before chaos ensued by putting together another hot edition of our Friday Mixtape. This week's collection features several of this year's SXSW attendees, as well as few heavy hitters. We hope you enjoy! [...]

Det småvilda rockbandet Senryu släpper 13 april sitt nya album Inklings via El Deth Records och ska i samband med det ut på turné och visa upp sina "stage-blood soaked live shows". Och såklart bjuda på låt. Titelspår för att vara helt konkret Senryu - Inklings
Senryu have a new album, Inkling, coming out this March and in anticipation, have released a new video of their first single, 'Obsess Much' shot by James Khanlarian in Los Angeles. Shot beautifully by the way, all in HD, we assume. We especially loved the stop photography (is that what the term is for the [...]
It's not everyday that a shaggy haired musician in a 70's era polyester suit starts making eyes at you. Well, maybe it is, I don't know you that well. But it's certainly not every day that you make out with said musician behind a DJ booth while his drummer performs the full choreography from 'Thriller'. [...]

Two of our favourite, favourite bands are getting together tonight for a show in Knoxville, TN that promises to showcase more magic than Dollywood - so we thought it'd be a grand opportunity to mention these incredible bands & their upcoming SXSW appearances. Pattern Is Movement are Chris and Andrew, two of the sweetest guys you'll ever meet whose innocent demeanor hides a musical genius that we have seen leave audiences astounded. Their fourth album, All Together , will be released on May 6th through Hometapes Records. Download [...]
Wednesday, February 20, 2008 Does this week feel kind of like it's just creeping along for anyone else? It really seems as if it should be Friday already. In any case, I have an EP. Enjoy. : Sisters - Gone Heal Everyone : "There's a party in my brain and it won't end." I realize that lyric is probably telling enough, but just for extra emphasis I'll go ahead and point out that this gem and its garage rock, retro-enthused sound is an absolute blast. [...]
Want Saosin to support Incubus come March 7th? Then go here and tell the organizers. --- Introducing Sleepercar from Jim Ward (At The Drive In, Sparta) The first song conceived for " West Texas " originated in a moment of solitude while Jim Ward was waiting to soundcheck on what turned out to be the last At The Drive In tour. Fast forward seven years, and Ward is set to release a full length album chock [...]
