Sore Eros // "Stacy" Man, don't you love it when bands just keep getting better and better? Every time I hear new stuff from Sore Eros it seems like these guys are on the verge of exploding due to awesomeness. And the best part about these dudes is that it'sobvious that, should they choose, they could write some amazing straightforward pop songs… but that's not what they do. No, they are way too weird for that. They create skeletons of pop songs and then bend and break those bones to fit their skewed, wonky [...]

Prior to playing with Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, Gary War, Kurt Vile, and Panda Bear, Robert Robinson made dreamy, bedroom-pop music on his own in Enfield, Connecticut. Bearing resemblance to a psychedelic cassette played on a broken boom box, his first self-titled Sore Eros CD-R was released on his independent label Light Dead Sea in 2003. Over the next few years, Robinson traveled around the country and collaborated with fellow lo-fi musicians before moving back to Connecticut in 2007 to assist his dad, who had recently suffered a heart attack. In his downtime, as his father made a full recovery, [...]

Friends at Blackburn Recordings sent over the new single from their latest release. The track is titled "Stacy" and is featured on a new 12'' EP from Sore Eros titled Just Fuzz (which was apparently recorded when the band were snowed in earlier this year). The EP is limited to 500 copies and can be found here Stacy

Sore Eros have already laid a beautiful, pastoral psych release on us this year (or right at the tip of last, rather) and now they've followed in suit with an EP of five more shimmering gems. Just Fuzz , which is a rather misleading title since fuzz is about the furthest thing from the pristine clarity of these tracks, was recorded while the band was snowed in early in 2011 and it seems that rather than cabin fever the boys must have been pretty content with their containment. The tracks twinkle with opalescent tones and their usual mix of [...]

How did the band start? We have always been recording things on 4-tracks or shitty computer programs. Eventually, these things all kind of came together through the cosmos and the internet. Where did the band name, Sore Eros , come from? Robert was laying on the floor in his friend Michael Centore's bedroom and the words sore and eros were written on a little notebook pad and it just kind of [...]

Stacy Giraffe's Kiss Sore Eros started out as a one man operation, but for his second LP, Knowing Touching , released in January, he enlisted a friend to collaborate, eventually putting together a full band. The sound blurs the lines between folk and hazy electronica and the new single, 'Stacy,' is off a mini-album called Just Fuzz released June 28th from Blackburn Records . The song starts off slowly in a far off place, but quickly goes into its very pleasant melody and [...]

This piece by Sore Eros opens like a half dozen fractured moments in free-fall never entirely matching up so much as bumping up against each other and sidling into the steady clip of gravity set to bpm by the strum of a guitar and the slap of a snare, all as the lyrics pine: "I want to touch you in every way." Sore Eros, "Stacy" It comes off the Just Fuzz 12-inch just put out by Blackburn Recordings.

Brooklyn label Blackburn Recordings has just dropped the latest Sore Eros 12 inch named Just Fuzz , and it's another fine and sweet-as-honey excursion into gentle experimentalism by our dearest New England psych pop weirdos. Get a first taste with the wonderfully deranged and slightly off-kilter tune Stacy below, and then get your copy here . Sore Eros - Stacy

Even though 2010 is over, it's not long gone. So, we feel okay about sneaking in a couple of more Recent Releases We Almost Missed editions containing an eclectic array of tracks from 2010 albums, EPs and many of which were largely overlooked in comparison to the quality of music and overall talent they offer [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

It seems like a long time since a copy of Know Touching first made it into my hands this summer at the RSTB Northside show. Since then the winds of fortune have plagued the physical release with a few setbacks, but it seems now its finally on the eve of release. In the interim Know Touching has served to compliment the slow fade from Summer into Autumn and even now as the temperatures drop, it sparkles as perfectly as the sunlight on snow. A seemingly flawless transition from the hazily looped structure of Second Chants [...]
One more day closer to Christmas or, more importantly, some days off! I need to rest these weary bones a bit. I need some fire side contemplation (if only I had a fireplace). I need some smiling... [go to the website to read the rest of the article, download mp3s and more]

"Sore" has three primary meanings. 1) The first is perhaps the most obvious; something which is sore is something which causes pain or aching. "I fell over and grazed my knee and now it is sore ." 2) The second has a slightly old-timey, Scott Fitzgeraldy feeling to it, to denote feelings of displeasure : "Gatsby was sore because no-one wanted to come to his parties anymore. Because he was dead." 3) The third is probably my favourite way to use the word, as a submodifier to denote severity or depth [...]
