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 [...]
I trust you're all recovering/resting/relaxing today. Whether you welcomed 2012 with a quiet night at home alongside family and friends, or joined some raucous, drunken celebration at a house/club/bar, I'm sure it was a great time. If you must know about my night, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Considering New Years last year was probably the [...]
Forse ho trovato il 'non è mai troppo tardi' di quest'anno, Luminous Night dei Six Organs of Admittance . Capolavoro senza mezzi termini. Forse il disco più completo della creatura di Ben Chasny ( Comets of Fire ), fingerpicking selvaggio, raga indiani, bellissime ballad notturne, arrangiamenti di archi leziosi e pop e tanto ammmore spedito nel cosmo oscuro sotto forma di spirali cosmiche di suoni. Personalmente provo la stessa intensità di quando ascolto Elliott Smith ma Ben Chasny va oltre nella sperimentazione di situazioni, suoni, songwriting. [...]
Six Organs of Admittance Culturgest, Porto 09/09/2011 Mesmo que algum dia tivéssemos ficado chateados com Ben Chasney por este ter deixado um pouco de parte a sua existência a solo, tanto nos discos como em concerto, muito por culpa da sua colaboração com os Comets on Fire, com o concerto que assinou na Culturgest, Porto, na passada sexta-feira, não nos restaria senão desculpá-lo. Afinal de contas as saudades falavam mais altas; de o ter ali, sozinho e entregue guitarra, com a humanidade que não quer nem consegue esconder. Numa noite de alinhamento certeiro, foi [...]
Não terá sido menos do que um arranque excelso da última temporada de 2011 do Teatro Maria Matos. Em parceria com a produtora Filho Único, Ben Chasny, ou Six Organs Of Admittance, passou uma vez mais por Lisboa. E uma vez mais, surpreendeu. Desta vez sozinho em palco, destacou o último Asleep on The Floodplain , obra de beleza exemplar na sua mais recente discografia. Um talento maior nos tempos que correm. Para além do percurso admirável pelas várias vivências da folk norte-americana, aliando tradição à inovação, Chasny deverá [...]
Six Organs of Admittance Teatro Maria Matos, Lisboa 10/09/2011 A última vez que tínhamos visto Ben Chasny ao vivo foi há já cinco anos. Em 2006 Chasny apresentou-se na ZDB acompanhado pelos Comets On Fire para apresentar o material incendiário de Avatar (um dos monumentos eléctrico-guitarrísticos da década, sem exagerar muito). Na altura pouco tempo passava da edição dos álbuns icónicos como School of the Flower ou For Octavio Paz e víamos em Chasny o perfeito discípulo de John Fahey, virtuoso com capacidade de revitalizar a folk no [...]

It's been almost five years since the last time I caught Six Organs of Admittance . In 2006, Sir Ben Chasny toured with a raucous trio hailing cash cabs and Satan in one fell swoop. Of course, at that time Chasny was still fresh off his tenure with freak-out swamp prog fashioners Comets on Fire. Last Thursday, Chasny opted for a more intimate, fragile, mystic approach, armed with only his acoustic divining rod. Don't get it twisted though, the set was en fuego. Lest you forget, dude can skate on fake ass folk perpetrators with nothing more than primordial [...]

Dia 10 de Setembro no Teatro Maria Matos o projecto de Ben Chasney regressa a Portugal onde apresentará os seus mais recentes trabalhos. Os bilhetes já se encontram à venda.
This podcast was recorded - not a word of a lie - on a deserted mountaintop in Corsica in the shadow of a ruined castle. Not an especially enormous ruined castle, I'll grant you, but the shadow of a ruined castle nevertheless. I will try and show you this as clearly as possible when I choose the picture for the mp3 tag and all that stuff, but I honestly doubt it will be all that easy. Vast panoramas of rocky mountains don't really come across all that well in photos, particularly when the only device you have with [...]
The Los Angeles Times has a tad bit more journalistic integrity than I do, so you're more likely to trust their opinion than you are mine. The reviewer on hand at the Walt Disney Concert Hall was far less impressed than I was with "Paradise Lost." But I wasn't there trying to imagine the concert [...]
A Drag City, casa de tão boa gente como os Pavement, o Bill Callahan, o Will Oldham, o Jim O'Rourke, a Joanna Newsom e de tantos outros que por aqui tanto gostamos, acabou de licenciar "Guitarra Portuguesa" e "Movimento Perpétuo", os dois primeiros álbuns de Carlos Paredes, para os reeditar internacionalmente em LP. Já sabemos que o "nosso" Fred Somsen é o atual Director of European Affairs da
Friday 3rd June - The Cube Bristol Matt (Loveridge) formerly Team Brick ... subscribed to differing degrees of cruelty... betwixt floods of crocus spikes and plate glass jostle there was an exasperated lung machine crammed with sewing needles... yelling, whispering. Hyenas crushing glass bottles, rolling the broken shards around their gums. It was a real 'patchwerk' of noise joy... as the layers on layers became a hessian of false narratives, giving out a [...]
Whether you listen to an artist because they sound good or because you've been attracted by their name, either item always seems to be one of two reasons you've discovered any number of songs in your music library. Remember the old days before iTunes when you would look at the album cover and say, "Yup, I'm going to buy this". Now that times have changed and music is so readily available to us, it still comes down to the band name itself that can either make or break our decision to even listen to the artist. The list below represents [...]
Album van de maand Het is lastig kiezen in een maand met veel goede nieuwe releases, maar zonder echte uitschieters. En dat terwijl ik een aantal belangrijke nog eens goed in de oren moet proppen. Toch bombardeer ik met veel plezier Baroque Primitiva van Alvarius B. tot plaat van de maand mei. En dat is best vreemd voor een album dat in maart uitkwam. Alvarius B. (Alan Bishop) is zelf ook wel een beetje vreemd, zoals hier al was te lezen. De cd versie van deze psychedelische singer-songwriter muziek met exotische [...]
Since our competition for Asobi Seksu tickets, Basement Fever and Brighton label and promoters One Inch Badge decided that they wanted to be e-buddies. So here we are, a few months down the line, our relationship blossoming, and our tree of e-love bearing new fruit: two tickets to see American psych-folk act Six Organs Of Admittance at Komedia on June 11 (two weeks today!). Musically active for over 10 years, Six Organs Of Admittance is primarily the project of Ben Chasny, who also plays in projects Magik Markers and Comets [...]
