Tor and Sufjan Stevens [Illinoize]

Vancouver-based producer Tor once had the brilliant idea to make some of Sufjan Stevens' songs – taken from his concept album Illinois – into elegant and extremely well produced hip-hop beats. His second best idea was to mix these beats with underground rap vocals, from Aesop Rock to Brother Ali, from Big Daddy Kane to CL Smooth. And the result, Illinoize , is absolutely amazing: the instrumentals are one the best I have ever heard and they perfectly fit with the rappers' flows. The overall dreamy feeling, along with the mind-blowing production, makes it, without a doubt, my favorite hip-hop mixtape of these [...]

Sufjan Stevens, Explosions In The Sky, The Octopus Project (Zoe)

Sufjan Stevens, Explosions In The Sky, The Octopus Project (Zoe) Wednesday, May 9, 2012 It's finals week and, to be honest, I've been left me devoid of much creative inspiration. However, if there's one thing I love as a study aid, it's a good ambient or classical song. Just turn it on quietly in the background to help you sink into a focused state, or pump it up loudly to wake yourself up at 3:22 AM, when you're just trying to finish the chapter notes. Thus I bring you: my top 3 study songs. : Sufjan [...]

Entangled in Undergrowth. Patrick Watson, Adventures In Your Own Backyard.

Entangled in Undergrowth. Patrick Watson, Adventures In Your Own Backyard. The fertility of Montreal soils and surrounds for the musically creative mind has been richly documented and entangled in the undergrowth like pheasant cowering from the clamour of maniacal furore; somersaulting in the undertow of the city's whirlpool whirr like an otter in a Hotpoint is Patrick Watson and that thistly little voice of his. Having slipped into a more mainstream consciousness on the back of his overtly organic masterpiece of 2006 Close to Paradise , as others may have ebbed away over the passing of time Watson remains. Not so much like limescale nor barnacle but [...]

Great Lake Swimmers

Great Lake Swimmers One of the best ways to discover new music is to talk to your friends about it. Over coffee or a casual game of DJ Hero, you might just end the night with a list of recommendations that later become your new musical obsessions. This is exactly how I discovered the Great Lake Swimmers , a folk/rock band originally from Wainfleet, Ontario that was recommended to me from my good friend Mike. Upon hearing their song "Your Rocky Spine" I was immediately hooked, and couldn't wait to share their music with all of you. [...]

Soundtracking: Your Spring (II)

Soundtracking: Your Spring (II) Words by Jacob Barron In honor of the spirit of rebirth with which spring is so frequently associated, I'll be using this edition of Soundtracking Your Spring 2: The Spy Who Shagged Me to completely destroy everything you know and love about this column. Or, you know, freshen it up with a more piecemeal approach, whatever. The point is, last time got me thinking about the whole idea of seasons not as one monolithic thing, but a diverse set of vignettes, each with its own mood or temperature. In the end, you [...]

Beak & Claw

s / s / s - Museum Day
In honor of our 100th piece on the new site, this week we're putting together a special series on pop music. Five pieces, five authors, five new records that either conform to, expand upon, or utterly destroy pop conventions. Beak & Claw, the debut collaborative EP between Sufjan Stevens, Serengeti, and Son Lux (collectively known [...]

Promises Promises, Cat Marino.

Promises Promises, Cat Marino. How many East Coasters does it take to programme a drum machine? Erm in the case of Cat Martino's contribution to Weathervane Music's latest Shaking Through compilation, I Promise, that'd be two and they'd happen to be a certain Sufjan and Chris Powell of Philadelphian experi mentalists Man Man. If the Stevens-featuring single Yr Not Alone from Martino's forthcoming full-length of the same name signalled an approach to the histrionic grandiosity of The Age of Adz then I Promise conversely harks back to somewhere solemn; solitary; sometime in '97.

Cat Martino – "I Promise" (Feat. Sufjan Stevens & Chris Powell)

Shaking Through: Cat Martino
Cat Martino, the singer-songwriter and former Sufjan Stevens band member, is the latest participant in " Shaking Through ," a video series that documents musicians who are presented with the challenge of making one song in two days. For her song "I Promise," Martino got help from Stevens himself and from Man Man's Chris Powell. Below, we've got a stream of the song itself, which is spacey and pretty, and the video of the musicians making the song together. It's fun to see all the nuts and bolts going into place before you hear the final product. Watch the video [...]

Shaking Through – Interview + Cat Martino Session photo - Josh Goleman - Cat Martino + Sufjan Stevens "Brian Mctear with the other Weathervane cohorts have really created this template, you know, allowing artists to come in and really explore and play...I feel lucky." - Cat Martino As music sees it's way through some necessary growing pains, authentic music communities are emerging as a way to support the new infrastructure of music, or as Shaking Through's Brian McTear puts it, a "music ecosystem". Weathervane - the non profit collective that nourishes the Shaking Through project started a few years [...]
