The Night Light in Oakland has some cool events coming up this week. First and foremost, Moon Glyph is welcoming Austin's Xander Harris for a headlining gig on Thursday, June 13. East Bay alumni Some Ember will support the show with San Francisco's Muscle Drum for a night of dark synth music. Self-described "grave wave EBM" producer Xander Harris (a.k.a. Justin Sweatt) hails from Austin, where he has been producing dark electronic music since 2009. [...]
" Flowers Open " fue el primer avance que Some Ember nos dejó escuchar el año pasado perteneciente a su " Asleep In The Ice Palace ", el cual apenas fue publicado durante el mes de Febrero con Night-People . Ahora, este corte ya ha recibido un tratamiento visual por parte de Alejandro Archuleta de Psychic Handbook , y pueden disfrutarlo en toda su gloria en el player incrustado a continuación, #thefuture. Some Ember: Twitter / Facebook / [...]
![[Listen] Some Ember: "Schwarzer Trauerschmuck" (Live)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4928458_lg.jpg)
Hace tan sólo dos meses Some Ember lanzó su " Asleep In The Ice Palace ", y ahora ya han compartido una nueva canción a través de un vídeo en vivo que decidieron filmar, en el que podemos darnos una mejor idea de la dirección que este proyecto ha ido tomando con el paso del tiempo, ya que las lineas de synths y las melodías portan con un mayor movimiento a diferencia de la oscuridad que se apoderaba de su álbum debut del año pasado. "Schwarzer Trauerschmuck" es un corte que probablemente aparezca en el siguiente material [...]
Night People está en llamas! En estos primeros meses del año han anunciado un bonche de lanzamientos bastante buenos, entre los que se encuentran los nuevos EP's de Boy Friend y Dylan Ettinger , sin mencionar que este sello ha sido el encargado de fichar a uno de mis proyectos consentidos del año pasado, Some Ember . Ya en múltiples ocasiones les hable del fascinante falceto que tiene Dylan Travis, la mente detrás de este proyecto, el cual mezcla la parte mas embrujante del goth, junto con la estética pulsante a base de synths, y [...]
Iowa City's ever-reliable Night-People imprint has once again been on fire recently, without a lot of fuss dropping superb and modestly high-profile releases by underground pop luminaries such as Featureless Ghost , Dylan Ettinger , or Boy Friend . Next in line is the latest tape by Some Ember , the Bay Area-based outfit gathered around mastermind Dylan Travis, whose 2012 full-length Hotel of Lost Light on Crash Symbols managed to enthral with its blend of post-punk faithfulness and latter-day electronics, unobtrusively experimental on the edges [...]
Some Ember // “Serpent Necklace” Man, Night-People has been on a roll lately. Just recently the label has announced cassette tape releases from heavy-hitters like Boy Friend , D. Vassalotti (of Merchandise ), Dylan Ettinger , and now we can also add Some Ember to that wonderful list. Last year the post-punkers released Hotel of Lost Light , which made it onto my favorites of the year [...]
![[Listen] Some Ember: "Serpent Necklace"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4817558_lg.jpg)
Al inicio, "Serpent Necklace" porta con una ritmica apegada al post-punk y al new wave ochentero que tanto nos hace felices en este espacio, y conforme va entrando el tono vocal femenino, este track de Some Ember se va tornando en algo dulcemente embrujante, para que con ello sin darnos cuenta nos encontremos dentro de uno de los mejores tracks a base de synths de los últimos meses. Pero además, esto no es todo, ya que con los arreglos de guitarra nos van acercando a una odisea dance en los últimos minutos de este extracto del nuevo [...]

![[Listen] Alligator Indian: "Our Love Was A Crime" (Some Ember Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4761919_lg.jpg)
Al inicio estaba de 'damn! Definitivamente es un remix de Some Ember ', pero conforme fue avanzando debo decir que me quede completamente impresionado, ya que llega un momento en el que este remix de " Our Love Was A Crime " pareciera haber recibido un tratamiento especial por Aphex Twin. "Winter We Won" es el nombre de un álbum de 22 remezclas que Alligator Indian acaba de poner en descarga gratuita a través de bandcamp, en el que obviamente encontraran remezclas de cada uno de los tracks que le dan vida a su mas reciente álbum [...]

The show marks the first Bay Area headlining performance for Mister Lies, the electronic solo project of Chicago's Nick Zanca, and only his second San Francisco show ever. On the flipside, the occasion also marks the last San Francisco show of [...]
![[75 - 61] Los 150 Tracks de 2012](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4677566_lg.jpg)
Como cada año, este conteo puede llegar a ser un poco agotador para mi, sin embargo al final del día me queda la sensación de que cada publicación ha valido la pena, ya que con ello todos aquellos que no pudieron estar al tanto de lo que pasaba día con día en el mundo musical durante todo el año, pueden darse un pequeño quemón de las cosas mas relevantes que ocurrieron a lo largo de estos 12 meses, así como esos fascinantes descubrimientos que por fin pudieron debutar con sus álbumes de larga duración como el caso de Some [...]
... 24. Sirs // Sirs [ Topshelf Records ] As part of the booming SUNY Purchase music scene, Sirs perfectly encapsulate everything that is so wonderful about what is going on up there. They have a boundless energy that is totally infectious from the very first seconds of their self-titled album. Some might call this screamo, but don't let that scare you away. You see it's not so much screaming as the energy of pure, vocal force which reverberates down through the [...]

![[Listen] Some Ember: "Don't Let" (Feat. Charlemagne)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4585195_lg.jpg)
Cuando les vine a dejar "Flowers Open" hace algunos meses, les había comentado que al parecer Some Ember estaba comenzando a enfocar su sonido en una dirección en la que la oscuridad que rodea las atmósferas de los cortes de su EP se fuera aclarando poco a poco, para así crear piezas respaldadas por lineas de synth que le aporten un poco más de color. Bueno, pues tal vez esa fue la pura finta, ya que en este nuevo track que acaba de presentar titulado "Don't Let", ha vuelto a ese estilo goth para el que ha reclutado [...]

Some Ember Flowers Open Dre sucks at blogging lately, so let’s talk about it: Some Ember Edition Some Ember is what it sounds like when the darkest depths of those thoughts you pray to gawd never leave that gooey cranium crevice they are tucked so deeply inside begin to seep out onto the rest of your brain. That along with a love of Cocteau Twins and acid. Here are my favorite quotes from an interview I did with Dylan of Some Ember [...]
Oakland's very own Dylan Travis, who performs dark, experimental synth pop under the moniker Some Ember , has released a new track called "Flowers Open." The song is the first taste from his soon-to-be-announced sophomore cassette release, Pleasure . The expansive synth pop jam is vibrant with psychic energy and spacey sonic imagery. Some Ember performs with Yalls at The Glasslands in New York City on August 12, and will be returning to The Knockout in San Francisco on August 23 with Uncanny Valley and Group [...]
