Appearing this Saturday at Park Slope's rad venue Union Hall, headliners from the UK (and indie pop wunderkinds) Sky Larkin will be joined by the gorgeous, soaring soundscapes of Philly's Arc In Round and The Soft Black (who we've been loving for some time now). If you aren't very familiar with Spicy Times as a party, get there already. It's headed by NYC bloggers (nay, writers) Nora from I Rock I Roll and Jinners , who also serve as DJs for the night. Deets: [...]

Today's gonna be the warmest day of the week so make it a good one. Get em all at once - mixtape 35.zip - or [...]
by john cole Wow. What a night. Going from The Trail Of Dead show to the Soft Black release at Death By Audio was quite tricky. Two completely different shows. Having felt like I was on a lot of crack seeing Trail of Dead, the Soft Black show made me feel very stoned, which I may or may not have been. To start off, Vincent Cacchione from Soft Black has had quite the varying music career. spanning from playing in North [...]
Knox Road had previously posted about this tends-to-lean-more-towards-roc k indie group, Soft Black, when we first received news about their upcoming album The Earth Is Black . You can see that post here . Meanwhile, we just received word that there is a change in location for their show on February 28 to promote The Earth Is Black : the new show will be taking place at Brooklyn's Death By Audio (instead of the temporarily closed Vanishing Point.) The show will feature popular DJ Adam Green , along with friends and labelmates Werewolves and Everybody [...]
Coming to Brooklyn's Death By Audio , Vincent Caccione's project Soft Black will be celebrating the release of his/their second album, the pretty, dark, excellent The Earth Is Black . Adam Green will be DJing in between sets and Soft Black's labelmates Everybody Knows and Werewolves are also on the bill. (mp3) Soft Black - Ashtray Christ Godspeed!

The Earth is Black is the new record from Brooklyn based Soft Black , headed by Vincent Cacchione. The album was apparently inspired by a series of nightmares Cacchione had. I don't know about you, but I would not want to write music concerning nightmares I have (we don't need to get into such detail though...). It takes a lot of guts to stand up to your greatest subconscious fears and bring them to life through music. And Cacchione has done just that. The album is full of dark and brooding (duh) rock/pop with Cacchione's ever-changing [...]
The second record from Brooklyn's Soft Black , The Earth Is Black , was allegedly inspired by a series of dreams (well, nightmares) that principal songwriter Vincent Cacchione had before setting out to record the disc. At once filled with paranoia, sorrow and tribal beats and yet, at the very same moment, a sort of cathartic glee running throughout, the results of this, a year-long recording process, are the sort of folksy, despair-filled laments that we can't stop playing. (mp3) Soft Black - The Lions [...]
Is there even any doubt that Brooklyn circa 2009 fosters one of the most vibrant music scenes on this here planet? Not really; at this point, Brooklyn as music epicenter is a given, and it really has been long since next-door spoiled brother Manhattan's ever-skyrocketing rents have forced 99% of musicians across the East River and elsewhere. It's like that cool time-lapse photography used to capture vegetation growing, except the flowers and weeds are bands, artists, and ideas exploding from a single concrete slab. And while those of us who live here may [...]
So it has been a month since my last post, but Hamish and Lauren have kindly taken up the slack showing off some new acts. Either way, a month is a long time with blog music, leaving me with a whole stack of great music that you need to hear. Another mixtape then? yup. And it is full to the brim with fantastic new music. Department of Eagles produce some laid back schizophrenic sounds that shouldn't fit together at all, but somehow smoothed into a [...]
