"Okay here’s the deal," lead singer of Tartufi , Lynne Angel tells me over the phone. The San Francisco band is currently on tour across the country in support of their latest album, These Factory Days . I've just asked her where their band name originated from. "We used to tell all these tall tales about it because obviously everybody wonders about that. But the truth of the matter is, that when we were a trio, the previous band member was in Italy and saw the word ‘tartufi’ on the menu which is just [...]

Next week is the pledge drive, meaning all of you should tune in to my show from 10pm to midnight PST on Friday, April 12 and pledge your support for independent radio. For my April 5 show, I returned to playing primarily new tunes, opening with the stellar new track by Sweden's Lars Bygdén, dropping in a pair of tunes by San Francisco post-rock outfit Tartufi, and crossing the pond to Spain for an amazing track by Soledad Vélez. Here in Skagit Valley, we're starting to get some sun, and [...]

Post-rock, perhaps more than most genres, has an inherent ability to lump together artists so diverse they seemingly should not fit in even close to similar categorical sub-genres, yet alone within the exact same sub-genre. Post-rock, then, features artists as wide-ranging as folk-centric epic-masterpiece purveyors Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra, the soft-loud-soft instrumental rock-ists Explosions in the Sky, and this band - Tartufi - who blend lovely melodies with dreamy vocals against intense face-melting rock. These Factory Days dropped last week; I've been listening [...]

This week's short list of new releases sees some old names returning with fresh new sounds. 802s electronic alternative icons Depeche Mode return with their thirteenth studio album, perhaps their strongest effort yet in this post Y2K world. Delta Machine contains the familiar tropes: dark eroticism featuring Dave Gahan's swooningly romantic lyrics amid swirling keys and syncopated if occasionally aggressive electric percussion. Though the band has been stripped down to the trio of Gahan, principle songwriter Martin Gore, and bassist Andy Fletcher, the new album is richly produced by Ben Hillier and adeptly mixed by Flood. [...]

San Francisco based experimental indie rock band, Tartufi will be releasing their fourth full length album, breaking a two year span of silence between the release of their last studio effort, The Goodwill of The Scar . In celebration of their new album, These Factory Days , Tartufi has shared a new single entitled, Underwater . This seasoned Bay Area ensemble will also be playing several tour dates across the United States, and will end the tour in San Francisco with their official album release event at [...]

Hide your kids, hide your wives... Gaytheist is coming to San Francisco. With a name that encapsulates everything that scares conservatives about the Bay Area, it’s a wonder they’re not more well-known around here. Don’t let the bow tie and wire-frame glasses fool you: hailing from Portland (another den of West coast sin), Gaytheist are, by all Internetical accounts, amazingly fun and punishingly loud. And also, for a bunch of deviants, pretty thoughtful , funny guys. They’ll fit right in. Gaytheist will be at Hemlock Tavern on March 15th with Tartufi [...]

Other than the blitzkrieg of festival event news and showcase flyer bombardments, the week brought us strange brews and kernels of inspiration. Top news tells us that Azealia Banks covered the Strokes' "Barely Legal" amid tweets of her working with Ariel Pink, a sketchy fatal drive by on French Montana's tour bus left one fan dead, and in what ought to be a new column called 'This Week in Morrissey beefs' we can add Paul McCartney to the list of the latest Mozzer feuds....

The mighty Tartufi are out on tour right now, probably having all kinds of fun while the rest of us are stuck at home, endlessly trudging to and from our day jobs. But don't get too down just yet—there is reason to rejoice. Yes, at long last, the band announced the details of their new album. The next Tartufi record took nearly two years to make, but it's finally coming out...next year. It's going to be called These Factory Days and will be available in March 2013 [...]
