"Marley was dead to begin with." Okay, that is stolen directly from Dickens, but I did use quotation marks. I wanted a dramatic opening, and that is one of my favorites. Winter is holding sway was all I could come up with as my first line, and it's a weak one. I wanted drama, I wanted a "Stella!" moment to describe the change in temperature. It is now is 24° on the Cape and in the teens in Boston. The sunlight has a cold look, a sharpness, to it. The sky is a deep blue but its color [...]
MP3: CHURCHES - Save Me When you hit play on "Save Me," you'll start up a track that combines Beach House's slow dream-pop style of riff with some vocals that sound like the Walkmen performing a 2000s brit-pop track. It's a light track that still manages to pack a bit of a punch. CHURCHES on [...]
Tweet Ever now and again we post on this blog a track which one might refer to as a 'banger'. It's cos we're, like, y'know, down with the kids n that. We're hip, happening and stuff. Yo. Stuart Price goes by the stage name Jacques Le Cont . Good choice, I'm struggling to think of any famous rock stars / pop heroes known as 'Stuart'. Nope, no famous Stuarts (apart from all those Kings that caused the civil war...). I'll [...]
With the sun shining and holidays just around the corner, what a start to the Australian summer festival season with The Domain in Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens playing host to The Homebake Festival, a veritable who's who of Australian and New Zealand acts. Now on its 16th anniversary, under the banner of "The Classic Edition", this year's line up included such iconic Australian acts such as The Church, Icehouse, The Triffids and internationally acclaimed headliner Nick Cave's Grinderman joining around 35 other artists covering a range of musical genres. All in all the offerings guaranteed the day would hold a [...]
Stuart Price aka Thin White Duke aka Les Rythmes Digitales made a shock return to the decks and the studio last year with perhaps his most iconic and revered alias of them all ' Jacques Lu Cont '. In recent years Stuart Price has been content to produce other artist's music with the likes of Madonna and the Killers employing his services, and whilst highly commendable it did deprive the clubbing circuit of one if its more pivotal members. Hands up if you remember and still cherish his [...]
Jacques Lu Cont is back with a Justice vibe on his latest single 'Church' Formerly Madonna's manager in the mid 20002s, this English DJ with a penchant for faux French pseudonyms is probably best known for his work under Les Rythmes Digitales. He created a tracked named 'Darkdancer' which was a true electro classic in the establishment stage of the genre or his 1999 mainstream hit ' Jacques Your Body ' . This track is one that I believe you should judge with a very similar style to Justice. Filled with organs and a [...]
We've seen Stuart Price, aka Jacques Lu Cont, a couple times since his return to DJ'ing and actually making music for himself and each time he's road-tested some new material as well as play the classics. 'Reload', his first track. was a pure Le Rhythm head-fuck - this on the other hand is a pure JLC - it shows off his more organic side, which manifest its self as quite unbelievable twanging bassline - which then proceeds to bound around the mix like a small child high on sugar. File under: [...]
Outside the era of Starfish and Gold Afternoon Fix the American music press essentially ignored Australian band The Church. "It's No Reason" is found on the 1983 album Seance , available for purchase here .
Isidore , if you're unaware, is Jeffrey Cain (formerly of Remy Zero) and Steve Kilbey (The Church), with the former on instrumentals and the latter lending vocal expertise. The collaboration came as a surprise, after Cain passed along an instrumental album to Kilbey only to receive it back later with vocals added in. The duo is now poised to release Life Somewhere Else on Valentine's Day. On the album you can find "Song Of The City", a tune that is mesmerizing with Kilbey's deep baritone and dreamy [...]
Isidore composed of Jeffery Cain and Steve Kilbey. The band actually formed in 2004 when lead singer Steve Kilbey of Australia's The Church and guitarist Jeffrey Cain from Alabama's alt-rock outfit Remy Zero formed Isidore. They recorded their debut while the Steve was Down Under and Jeffrey in L.A. Now many years down the road, they have again united for their sophomore effort, Life Somewhere Else . Last month they revealed their first taste of what was to come with " Reappearance " . This week the [...]
Live This Month: January 2012 (Podcast #268) In Live This Month , we sample some of the great local and out-of-town bands performing in the coming month in the San Francisco Bay Area. If the beginning of January feels a little slim on the live music front, things should ramp back up into the usual overwhelming number of interesting shows by the month's end. Several young local bands recently came onto our radar - including Churches, Poor Sons, and Primitive Hearts - and they're all partaking in locals-heavy bills in the next [...]

Here's a track with a perfect blend of everything. When I was younger, my friends and I decided that any song with hand-clapping in it was most likely going to be awesome. Now that I'm older, I'm not sure I always believe that, but for the most part, it holds true. Hand-clapping in this track works so well because of the sort of tribal vibe, coming from the vocals, paired with the subtle and sweet piano. It's pleasant and the perfect end of this beautifully stressful week. While I won't be having much of a weekend, [...]
Back in 2004, lead singer Steve Kilbey of Australia's neo-psychedelic (and highly photogenic ) Hall of Famers The Church and guitarist Jeffrey Cain from Alabama's alt-rock outfit Remy Zero (anyone a fan of Smallville ?) formed Isidore . One-upping The Postal Service gents, the two recorded their eponymous debut while the former was Down Under and the latter in L.A. Their music is influenced by both of their original bands, forming a psychedelic indie "musical correspondence". Now, eight years later, the duo has united once more for their sophomore [...]
