Fense's Radio Show: November 4, 2011

Fense's Radio Show: November 4, 2011 Friday evening was a mad house. Getting into the station wasn't the issue, as I expect it will be in the coming weeks now that winter is upon us; it was the transition. Transitioning from one on-air personality to another is a bit nerve-wracking. The quarters are cramped, the mic is hot, and you have to do your best not to step on their toes as they wrap their show and you begin yours. And when it's time to fly, you have to remember which buttons should be lit and which ones shouldn't. After the [...]

Sugarplum Fairies: The Images We Get

Nothing groundbreaking--just a solid record. Paradox can be a powerful thing. The combination of hushed female vocals over jingling, poppy guitars is not exactly new, but Sugarplum Fairies (bad band name alert!) do it well. The poppy bounce of "Plastic Sky" is irresistible, and well served by Silvia Ryder's breathy singing. The band has more than one trick in its bag, however. Down-tempo tunes like "Heart Hell" and "The Images We Get" rub elbows with energetic workouts like "One Trick...

New Song + Video : Sugarplum Fairies : The Images We Get

New Song + Video : Sugarplum Fairies : The Images We Get Los Angeles-based indie-pop duo The Sugarplum Fairies play the sort of cinematic dream-pop that drifts down from the dusty rafters and unfolds before the listener like the ghosts of 1000 Hotel California hangovers. The country cousin to Mazzy Star and Portishead, their songs are glimpses through tightly drawn curtains, vignettes of men and women in constant peril of being swallowed up by the vastness of their surroundings; the endless highways, the distant horizons, the wasted lives. This is music for drinking and dreaming, albeit not necessarily in that [...]

Sugarplum Fairies: The Images We Get [Video]

Sugarplum Fairies: The Images We Get [Video] It's been a few years since we've heard anything from Los Angeles circa Vienna band Sugarplum Fairies . The duo of Silvia Ryder and Ben Bohm are back with a new album called The Images We Get , featuring the signature airy vocals of Ryder and light southern-tinged Americana folk pop. As found on the band's prior releases, this one is dreamy and filled with accompanying stringed orchestration. "96 Dreams" is the song the band and their label, Starfish Records, have made available for sampling. [...]

New Album from The Sugarplum Fairies

New Album from The Sugarplum Fairies The Sugarplum Fairies are an indie pop duo from Vienna that now calls Los Angeles home. Somewhere between Hapsburg and Honkytonk, swaying palm trees and swirling dark espresso, airy minimalism and waltzing americana, the Fairies play melancholic songs on sparkling instruments. Think of an evening gown captured in Kodachrome. Gustav Klimt on Route 66. This is music for when you've been up all night but are still in control. Nico and Leonard Cohen singing duets on accordion and '58 Les Paul out by the pool at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Check out the [...]

digestif de pierre La 11ème édition de Calvadose de Rock a lieu ce weekend... Soyons clairs, l'affiche du vendredi n'est pas pour nous, mais on devrait largement trouver notre compte dans la soirée du samedi.

Heureusement, j'ai écouté les morceaux mis en ligne sur le myspace des tourangeaux et ça m'a plu/intrigué... On en recausera après le festival (ou pas). [...]

Audienz der Brit-Pop Könige und eine Invasion aus Schweden – Ein kurzer Überblick über das diesjährige Programm von Rock Am See

Mit der Single 'Live Forever', einem wahren perfekten Song, mischten sie im Herbst 1994 nach 3 Jahren Anlaufzeit die internationale Rockszene auf: Oasis aus England, eine Band, die wie keine andere in ihrer Musik fast alle aufregenden Stile aus mehreren Jahrzehnten Rockhistorie in eine unnachahmliche Mixtur integriert. Griffige Beatles-Harmonien, ruppige Gitarrenklänge á la Stones, sarkastische Kommentare im Stil der Kinks und die lässige Rotzigkeit vieler Punkbands der ersten Stunde verbinden sie zu einem ausgesprochen explosiven Gemisch. Dass es den Rock Am See Veranstaltern gelungen ist, die Briten für die diesjährige Ausgabe des Festivals zu verpflichten, darf als Glücksgriff [...]

MP3 At 3PM: Sugarplum Fairies

Vienna natives Silvia Ryder and Ben Bohm may go by the hyper-twee name Sugarplum Fairies, but they won't be conjuring images of ballerinas and children's stories. Backed by an assortment of guest musicians including Joey Waronker (Beck, R.E.M.), Sugarplum Fairies have just released Chinese Leftovers, an album that mixes dream pop, indie rock and alt-country.

The Daily Graboid

The Daily Graboid I've been incredibly busy the past couple of weeks (primarily moving, among other things) and I'm just now finally getting settled in. I don't think I've had this kind of incessant time away from blogging since I started this thing, but hopefully things will get back to normal around here. What better way to kick things off than with The Daily Graboid, as this will be another chunk of the last month or so of releases that I've missed. Starting next week I will probably get back to a weekly posting of this, so I'm sure [...]

Sugarplum Fairies: First Rate Show

Sugarplum Fairies: First Rate Show It's been a few years since we've heard from Sugarplum Fairies , and the extensive time has allowed me to forget how fun this band can be. "First Rate Show" is off their upcoming release, Chinese Leftovers , out July 28. The song features hushed and melancholy female vocals, a lovely brass section, and folk-based indie pop. In "First Rate Show", Sugarplum Fairies conjure thoughts of artists like Concretes and early Camera Obscura. This is very much the sound I remember from Country International Records , their [...]

Sugarplum Fairies - Verträumtes im 60er Gewand

Sugarplum Fairies - Verträumtes im 60er Gewand Letztes Jahr begeisterte mich die französische Band Ultra Orange & Emmanuelle mit einem gelungenen Mix aus 60er-Sounds (à la Françoise Hardy) und neuen Klängen – dieses Jahr tritt das Duo Sugarplum Fairies aus Los Angeles offenbar ein wenig in diese Fußstapfen. Wiederum bezieht man sich in seinem Schaffen explizit und offnsichtlich auf die 60er Jahre, wieder schwingt eine Prise französischer Chanson mit, dazu ein gewisser Folkeinschlag und etwas Shoegaze-Flair der Marke Mojave 3, alles getragen von der gehauchten Stimme der Sängerin Silvia Ryder. Ihr neues Album «Chinese leftovers» erscheint Ende Juli, und den Track «First rate show» [...]

New Music: Sugarplum Fairies

Comprised of Vienna natives Silvia Ryder and Ben Bohm, LA's Sugarplum Fairies draw influence from French cultural icons such as Françoise Hardy, Anna Karina, and Jean-Luc Godard, as well as the Velvet Underground, John Lennon, and Lee Hazlewood. Sugarplum Fairies' latest release Chinese Leftovers veers from sleepy shoegaze pop to bouncy D.I.Y. indie rock, all with a subtle infusion of country-noir and the occasional hint of eclectic Vaudeville. The band teamed up with Joey Waronker (Beck, REM) on drums, Gus Seyffert (The Bird And The Bee, Sia) on bass, Jebin Bruni (P.I.L., Aimee Mann) on [...]

Based in L.A., Silvia Ryder and Ben Bohm aka the Sugarplum Fairies are set to release their album Chinese Leftovers on 28th July.In some ways it is an apt title, a couple of listens reveals a beguiling mix of ingredients: woozy melancholic folk predominates, but with a bit of jangly indie pop, an undertone of shoegaze and an occasional dollop of country-noir. There are a couple of tracks that
