By now, you have had over a week to pick up Art Department 's debut album, The Drawing Board . If you have not done so yet, what are you still doing here? I fell in love with this album early on, and, in my humble opinion, it is easily one of the best house releases this year. Crosstown Rebels is on a roll, which always helps, but the Art Department album takes everything that the label embodies to a new level. It's heartfelt, melancholic, longing, and strikes the right balance between melodic and adventurous. [...]

I had to laugh when I received an email from Joe with this as the headline: Rolling Stone "surprise find" My Education to give off Bad Vibrations on new album to be released in June. I will withhold my opinion of RS for this post. Original mention in the mag was in 2005, but not much since then. I caught wind of this band back in 2006. Of course, I was living in Austin and immersing myself in the scene, but anyone who knows instrumental rock recognizes Austin area as a breeding ground for the genre. With [...]
This Saturday night the Locals at La Zona showcases really start to heat up. When this thing first started, the idea was to simply connect with the widespread local talent in Austin and give some deserving bands a shot at winning over a new audience. As events progressed, bands that were deemed to be the "best of the best" would be invited back for another round, signified by Stage II. And that's where we stand right now. Three of the best bands from Round I, The Drawing Board, Tammany Hall Machine, and Pocketful of Deng , will [...]
Starting out, I was based in the live music capital of the world, Austin, Texas. There is a band worth checking out every night, from the big names playing Emo's or Stubb's to the locals cutting their teeth at The Parish or Mohawk. Here are some the best that I had to pleasure to notice. Most people know Spoon and Voxtrot . They are the darlings of the Austin indie scene. Instrumental sensations Explosions in the Sky are opening for Smashing Pumpkins. Okkervil River [...]

Art Department – The Drawing Board
It's about time I posted this up. Do you ever feel like there's something missing in your life, something reminiscent of house music that celebrates its heady past while at the same time meditating selfishly in that wistful modern way that we all know and love? If not, take your delusional sense of contempt elsewhere. If so, then go back to The Drawing Board (genius wordplay such as this is what they pay me for). After their huge single 'Without You', that indeed topped RA's list of the top 50 tracks of 2010 , Art [...]

Art Department – The Drawing Board album review
Art Department's The Drawing Board seems to be a nostalgic nod to the house music of the 902s. Throw in a simple dance beat, syncopated synths and haunting, low vocals and you have yourself The Drawing Board. Consisting of Toronto-based duo Kenny Glasgow and Jonny White Art Department is a group that has many years of experience performing on the dance club scene. Their ability to create simple dance hits is evident in The Drawing Board. What may take some time to adjust to are Glasgow's out-of-tune vocals which are a staple in almost [...]
Album Review: Art Department / 'The Drawing Board' (Crosstown Rebels)
★★★★☆ Jonny White and Kenny Glasgow leave Canada to go ghost hunting around Detroit and Chicago, shining torches on original house's traits of minimal drum machine discoveries and four-track arrangements. A lithe creepiness, done in a sulky, standoffish way as if the DJ is an awkward teenager, is splashed across The Drawing Board, with guru-like [...]

The Drawing Board - Clear To The Far Side Of Way Over Yonder
As if the great city of Austin, Texas needs another solid indie rock band to call it's own, along comes The Drawing Board . But no worries, these guys are not here to water down the scene at all. Actually, the songs I am really enjoying on this records add to the Austin mystique more than anything. While the five piece claim the likes of Elvis Costello and Cotton Mather as influences, their music sounds more like a mixture of early Weezer on the more upbeat tunes (see "Something I Can't Have) and a bit like [...]

The Drawing Board
Since Texas is about to be super packed with everybody invading SXSW I thought it would be appropriate to post up a band from Austin, Texas. They've got that catch powerpop music that'll you'll rock out to for like a minute in between doing something. Maybe that's just me though. In some songs you can definately hear the influence of The Beatles - and who doesn't like The Beatles? I was cruising their myspace and found a funny blog entry of theirs, see here.
