Artist: St. Vincent

photo by Brittney Bollay Opening a main stage at a festival can be a daunting task, especially for a band that isn't used to playing festivals. " This is a little different than our basement," noted singer Galen Disston, "but we're really honored to be here." Lucky for Pickwick , a legion of fans rushed to the front of the stage, and with their support, Pickwick tore through a set of groove-based rock that started the day off with a bang. Their energy was high and their musicianship was tight, so by the time they [...]

Day 2 of Sasquatch! Music Festival was a busy one as the lineup, in my opinion, for Saturday was just absolutely packed with a lot of great bands. On a side note, I'm writing this recap in a... Read the rest on Speakerboxxx.com

There isn't much I can tell you about Coachella 2012 that you don't already know. The logistics of the festival were known to the world after Weekend 1, and we "Overflow-ers" knew no late, large surprises would be held for us. Not that our group didn't hope. Outside of the promise of an unforgettable experience, my apprehension lay on the fact that we were headed for a rerun in 100°F-105°F degree weather. Would it be worth it? I'm happy to say it was. But I'll get there. [...]

St. Vincent - Cheerleader [4AD Session] And then there was this.

"The Strangers" is an absolutely stunning track by Annie Clark aka St. Vincent. You'll recognize the song if you listen to Kid Cudi, since he sampled it for "Maniac." The Strangers - St.Vincent

Buy Beach House 's album "Bloom" : Vinyl | MP3 | CD Beach House is on a short list of bands who have a distinctively beautiful sound of their own. They have been imitated by many bands who ultimately fall short of achieving the cavernous depths of Victoria Legrand 's voice and the simple brevity of Alex Scally 's musicianship. "Bloom" is Beach House 's first release since 2010's "Teen Dream" , which [...]

Annie Clark and David Byrne - it makes sense, right? Why not. Two critically-acclaimed artists, who both call New York City home, and sport album covers with their own mugs in a valium-drenched daze. ( Here's David's , here's Annie's .) The reasoning should stop there, but it doesn't. To be honest, Byrne could collaborate with anyone - and he has, several times - but in the expansive indieverse, he teamed up with Clark, and the two plan on releasing an album later this year . I was thinking about all of this at Chicago's Vic Theatre on [...]

photos by Amanda Hatfield ; words by Rachel Kowal Ok, I'll admit it. The first time I heard about BAM's Crossing the Ferry series, I quickly concocted an idyllic scenario that may or may not have involved sipping white wine on the deck of a boat lit with twinkling Christmas tree lights with Sufjan or an unidentified Dessner brother at my side. (Really, could someone get on the whole ferry show idea, [...]

"I too lived - Brooklyn, of ample hills, was mine." - Walt Whitman, "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" By this point, it's an old story that Manhattan has lost much of its cultural capital to its neighbor across the East River. Nowadays, if you want cutting edge art, if you want to find clusters of musicians meeting at bars and coffee shops to talk shop, if you want to find the venues and neighborhoods that foster a multi-colored collaboration between the arts and across genres, cultures, ethnicities, and classes, you go to Brooklyn. Thirty years ago, you could say the [...]
