This past weekend, NYC presented a number of only-in-NYC type concerts to help locals feel like they did some unique shit before the summer was over. For me, that meant seeing Lemonade, Reggie Watts, and Small Black at a open-air dumpster pool party that served lobster rolls for refreshments (that was a first), and joining Scott, Corban, and Juicy J at the Fool's Gold party on Labor Day where the refreshments were considerably danker (ditto). But the best of this Very Special Weekend's shows was also the freest: a no-cost, relatively intimate double bill in the taco-carted backyard [...]
This is healing my soul right now. Quenching my loneliness. I don't usually post things like this and I'm not posting it because somebody said I should or that a press release was sent my way. Hell, there probably WAS a press release sent my way but I havent checked my gmail for awhile. Nick Zinner from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs , is one of my favorite guitarists of all time. He's collaborated with the guys Hisham Akira Bharoocha and Ben Vida of Soft Circle to write this brilliant composition performed by a 41-strong string ensemble. [...]

You can stream all the songs in this mix using the Yahoo media player at the bottom of the page OR if you are browsing with Chrome you can play (and scrobble ) the whole page using the ex.fm extension OR [...]
Hisham Akira Bharoocha is a creative leader based in Brooklyn, New York who is incredibly talented across all creative boards such as Photography, Visual Arts and Music. Support Hisham Akira Bharoocha: Soundcloud | Artworks
La humanidad está hasta el cuello de deudas. ¿Su principal acreedor? La Naturaleza. Parece una de las patrañas de Maná, pero en un proyecto comandado por Hisham Bharoocha, la cosa resulta mucho más seria y gratificante. El japonés, y su amigo Benjamin Vida, estrenaron Shore obsessed a finales del año pasado; el álbum, segundo en el historial de Soft Circle , estimula la reflexión sobre el deterioro ambiental y lo hace con sinceridad, además de vocales y sintetizadores de lujo.

No Age rocked The Music Hall of Williamsburg in every way possible last evening, The band sounded tight as hell and had the crowd eating out of the palm of their hand, including this roving reporter! No Age's opening acts of Small Black and Soft Circle were equally as impressive. Small Black won the crowd [...]

Dispatch from the land of whirlwinds: 'I hope this message finds you well. I just discovered this triad of songs so mind-melting, I couldn't resist writing about them. I have chosen to arrange them all under the theme of "Resurrection", as I feel each one dances with this concept in some shape or form' Taraka Soft Circle-Feel The Light To feel the light, [...]
If nothing else, this new and somewhat maddening High Places video--in which Rob Barber and Mary Pearson wander hills and dunes and trees for twelve long minutes to no particular purpose--is an ... Continue reading "High Places Release New Video, Mixtape" >
MP3: Soft Circle - Light Bright The Soft Circle side of the 12 inch vinyl split with High Places is a real revelation. I had caught audible glimpses of them (or him I guess) a couple of times, but what's on here is completely awesome. It's got the right stuff: beats, interesting repetition and killer vocals. A total hit, both jams. I chose not to post the High Places song, despite being my favourite thing on the split, for 2 reasons: it's too long to just give away [...]
post-party Upset the Rhythm is the independent London label that's always taken good care of Los Angeles—they were one of the labels participating in that first burst of No Age vinyl in 2007 and also put out releases for L.A. bands like Soft Boiled Eggies and BARR and now Foot Village, who will be releasing their [...]
Soft Circle | WBAR-B-Q | April 26, 2009 As promised, this week continues with photos from performances from the WBAR-B-Q that happened this past weekend. Soft Circle performed right before the day's headliners, Gang Gang Dance, and the looping and drum playing seemed reminiscent of Daniel Francis Doyle . http://www.myspace.com/softcir cle
by neil roberts Lately I've been thinking a lot about getting out. Getting out of New York, getting out of the life I've created for myself and starting a brand new one. Going on a trip for a long time by myself to re-imagine this life my mind thinks it's living. Every morning I've started to roll out of bed on to my zafu, and begin by my day by meditating and chanting a mantra. With clearness of mind comes the possibility of seeing so much more than [...]

Ponytail Soft Circle Pretty & Nice Many Mansions I've been going to so many noise shows lately that I forgot how many annoying drunk people there are at regular indie rock shows. Like there was this one girl who was doing a very convincing Courtney Love impression. She was maybe 3 drinks from passing out and at one point [...]
