sunn o))) & boris - "the sinking belle" (download) I first discovered this song walking the streets of San Francisco in the rain, listening to some music in headphones on the way to work. This song crushed me. An incredible collaboration between drone rockers Sunn O))) and Japanese noise rockers Boris , which suprisingly ends up not rocking at all, but instead being a slow, brooding, dramatic, 7-and-a-half minute epic song. It's from the collaboration record they did together called Altar . This [...]
Sunn O)))) to play debut shows on Georgia soil at Churches in Athens and Atlanta in Sept.

" With the first gray light he rose and left the boy sleeping and walked out to the road and squatted and studied the country to the south. Barren, silent, godless. He thought the month was October but he wasnt sure. He hadnt kept a calendar for years. They were moving south. There'd be no surviving another winter here ." -- from Cormac McCarthy 's The Road photo by douglas roesch [...]

In the company of friends last evening, I popped the cherry on my new deep fryer. I even made the tempura batter myself, by using a vegan recipe from the Internet that everyone could enjoy. I think it called for something like a cup of flower, teaspoons of salt and pepper, one half teaspoon of baking soda, a cup of water, and a teaspoon of vinegar. Everything we fried, with the exception of the strawberries, turned out really tasty. The strawberries just became very mushy on the inside. Although we purchased much more to fry, we did not get to [...]
Artist: Sunn 0))) & Boris Album: Alter Song: Etna
Though coverage of this album is becoming a bit saturated even before it sees a domestic release, it's too incredible and album to ignore. Japan's premiere shapshifters of all things sludgy team up with Japanese underground legend Michio Kurihara to create and album that balances taught emotional drone with searing guitar work into an album of epic proportions. Kurihara's roots lie in the neo-psych legends White Heaven from the infamous PSF label and he currently adds his string work to the latest incarnation of Ghost. The two seem to balance each other nicely; with Kurihara's blistering guitar breaking [...]
[ January 9, 2007 / bookmark ] AMBIENT-METAL MP3: Wondering what Disquiet.com's humble suggestions as to the best commercial recordings of 2006 might sound like? Well, for starters, the Southern Lord record label's "Listen" page includes a full track from numerous among its recent releases, including the dirge-rock of bands SunnO))) and Boris , who teamed up for last year's Altar . "Etna," presumably named for the active Sicilian volcano, is a voluminous, slo-mo surge of, well, darn near molten metal, all the energy of hard rock, but stripped [...]

"Pat Tillman, Emmit Til l" Tim Kinsella returns, with what just might be his most realized project to date (with the possible exception of the quite perfect Owls record). Fans of his work both old and new will be pleased, as he retains the youthful vigor and feverish intensity of his salad [...]
let's break it down live : during cmj i don't think i managed to catch a single act that did *not* have a micro korg. van she at the modular showcase was fun, pleasantly polished, and refreshingly sweet. digitalism at studio b hit it hard - and "zdarlight" always makes a crowd go spastic - but the show wasn't much to speak of. the knife were ethereal. those were the big ones i was prepped for. oh, and justice killed it. surprised? not at all.

(No Ratings Yet) Loading ... “Altar†è decisamente un figlio necessario ed inevitabile di quest’ epoca musicale. A ben cercare al bandolo della matassa infine scorgiamo tre distinti generi a dettar ritmi e tendenze, e mi riferisco chiaramente alla (new) new wave (maledetto il giorno che la Warner s’inventò questo termine per vendere alle famiglie americane il punk inglese), ma anche all’ indie-tronica e al fitto sottobosco noise. Ovviamente è al noise, [...]
A little bit of everything to help ease you through this particular Friday. Hope to see all you Capetonians at the Taxi Violence gig at Mercury tonight. If not for you, I'll try to have some other options up for you later in the day. Listen: The Wrens - Happy Voxtrot - Trouble White ...
The fine folks at Barsuk have been very kind to us over the past week. I've gotten a couple of emails from them with one containing new tracks from Jesse Sykes . I'll be honest i'm not really familiar with her but this one track "The Sinking Bell" which features her vocals, really caught my attention. It's found on sunn0))) & Boris' collaborative effort Altar , which will be out on 10/31 on Southern Lord . It's [...]
Noël est dans 2 mois à peine. Il est grand temps de préparer les playlists d'usage! Aimee Mann s'y colle pour un album entier, sortie le 24 octobre. One More Drifter In The Snow contient 8 traditionnels dont un duo avec Grant Lee Philips, et 2 originaux. Le même jour sort une nouvelle BO de Nightmare Before Christmas (L'Etrange Noël de Monsieur Jack), le film de Tim Burton qui ressort en version
No time for a full writeup, but I got an email from Barsuk with some new stuff from the great Jesse Sykes that I had to share. Both tracks are great, but I don't think it would be hyperbole to call this first one absolutely amazing: New track from sunn0))) & Boris featuring Jesse Sykes on vocals from their new album Altar , out 10/31 on Southern Lord: sunn0))) & Boris [...]
It seems there has been a resurgence in the metal genre. Sure, it doesn't show up on the Billboard charts or in most record stores, but if you were to stop by Pitchfork and see Mastodon as the site's Best New Music, or catch Boris there, or Sunn O))), you might start to realize that metal is making a triumphant return. It's not the type of metal we've become accustom to though. It's still dark and still loud, but it's a lot more interesting. The success of both Sunn O))) and Boris led to a collabartion of the [...]
Ben Folds So, it's been a long week. I think this is the first time I've slept in past 10 since about July, so that's been the highlight of my day so far. I'm working on my top albums of 2006 list already just so I can get an idea of what's goin' down. Just so you guys know, the best-of lists at the end of the year are going to be, for the lack of the better word, epic. Completely unbiased and everything. Which probably means you'll disagree [...]
