Small Black: Limits of Desire - Upon listening to the new release from Small Black , the first and most prominent word that comes to mind is "ethereal". The new album, Limits of Desire , is like classic Small Black but dreamier. The band has evolved and drawn from various influences to give fans something new that is still true to their sound. The new album is laid-back and calm without being safe or boring. Josh Kolenik and the other members have clearly taken note from chillwave acts like Washed Out as well as [...]

You explain too much , si sente dire a Jon Barthmus in New Movements , ed è un pò la sintesi di quello che vuole essere Soft Fall , il secondo disco della formazione di Philadelfia. Soprattutto se quello che viene spiegato è male interpretato. Tutti questi accostamenti con gli Animal Collective pongono l'ascoltatore in un pregiudizio inutile e soprattutto falso. Merriweather Post Pavillion alla mano, i due episodi a distanza di tre anni non hanno tutta quella carica attrattiva che gli viene posta. C'è sicuramente un'influenza forte, ma quella che penso abbia toccato [...]
Standing front and center for Nightlands’ performance Saturday night at Kung Fu Necktie felt like standing in the entranceway of a grand cathedral, a choir’s golden melodies wafting through the air. It was a transportive, although not unexpected experience—when I spoke to front man/creator Dave Hartley about Nightlands’ live show a few weeks back, he ... Continue reading
Glittery pop outfit Sun Airway play Johnny Brenda's tonight with Historics and Cruiser. On last year's expansive sophomore release Soft Fall, Sun Airway washed their synths and vocals in the waters of some faraway cascade and dried them in the echo-y halls of a sky-high cathedral, creating an all-together other-worldly aura around the project. Tickets ... Continue reading

Sun Airway 's lush arrangements and massive textures of sound will be filling the beloved second floor of Johnny Brenda's this Saturday night. It feels like it's been a bit since I've heard Jon Barthmus' smooth, breathy baritone live. And hopefully Klip Collectives' Ricardo Rivera will be manning the new lights at JB's to bring the band's dreamy tunes to an otherworldly place. Sun Airway will also be joined by Brooklyn's Historics and Cruiser , the sweet indie pop project from Andy States, so you have good reasons to get there early and spend the whole night. Johnny [...]

due remix niente male, ad opera di Sun Airway e Cellar, per il singolo Further Out dei Beat Connection - dall’album di esordio The Palace Garden, pubblicato da Tender Age :
We're lucky enough here at The Wounded Jukebox to have friends and old confidants willing to send us their thoughts on the fortunate occasion. You might have seen their names at the bottom of some posts throughout the year. They live all over the United States, but we've wrangled their lists of the best and [...]

2012 provided another year of incredible music, from both Boston bands and the wider world. Music continued to transport us, to provide opportunities for celebration and for solace. Our simple mantra, that "music is important," drove us to engage with it in more and deeper ways, and -- not coincidentally -- our care and attention consistently was rewarded by bands finding new methods of knocking our proverbial socks off. And so we arrive at the end of the year, where we cast a long look back, we take stock of our ITunes playcounts, we think about the songs that occupied [...]
We can all agree (I hope) that the old "can't judge a book by its cover" adage applies just as easily to albums. From Magical Mystery Tour to Rumours, The Talking Heads to The Smashing Pumpkins, and even this year's standout Cat Power LP Sun, there's a rich history of great music hiding behind heinous ...

South African producer DJ Spoko is back with a remix of Sun Airway’s "Black Noise." Weird choice, but okay! Spoko adds layers of percussion, dubs the vocals into distant clips of sound, and then compresses ... read more
This week, we welcomed the return of Unlocked - The Key's regular series spotlighting new and significant releases by Philadelphia musicians - with a look at Ross Bellenoit and his Home Songs project. The Boston-native-turned-Philadelp hia-resident shared his solo craftemanship with three home-recorded EPs released over the span of several months this year. The songs on ... Continue reading

Los Angeles' punky, poppy Bleached (Jennifer and Jessica Clavin, formerly of Mika Miko) have just signed to Dead Oceans and the label will release the band's debut album sometime next year. The record was produced by Darker My Love's Rob Barbato and Jennifer Clavin told SPIN that the album will be more than more of what we've heard before: What we really wanted to do was explore. We've been doing this since we were teenagers and we have a certain sound on our last three seven-inches, but we wanted to show [...]

Sun Airway: Soft Fall - Beginning with a 53 second instrumental introduction, it is clear that Soft Fall is the gentle hand extending to lead you out of the darkness. The new album by Sun Airway is a continuous stream with an occasional flittering that creates ripples jolting you out of reality. The evolution of Soft Fall comes with the promise of a delirious perception prompting even the dreariest cynic to feel a twinge of something resembling emotion. Based out of Philadelphia, Jon Barthmus and Patrick Marceill formed the [...]
