Mao. An as yet unidentified persona (personae?) and already big things are in the works. Currently, they have done a very nice remix of Maribou State which you can find by clicking here. The BIG news is their upcoming EP on Bad Life . Seriously mindblowing future garage sounds here, folks. We really hope they keep up with this quality. Check the immense track "Emeralds" below and the other track on the EP, "Harken," here. [...]
I'd been hearing about it for years, the return of '80s sounds to popular music, but due to my relative disconnect from new music, it took a while to hear it for myself. But, well, it's definitely there (Which I'm sure you already know). And you know what? I don't mind in the slightest. Essentially the vibe I get is that a bunch of people took the good sounds/tones/effects from the mainstream '80s and left behind all the cheesiness while applying them to interesting, late '80s early '90s alternative rock songwriting, with a dash of thoroughly [...]

Emeralds' Steve Hauschildt makes dense, starry electronic music on his own and recently released a solo LP called Tragedy & Geometry on über-reputable experimental label Kranky. Download a couple of tracks from that release, "Already Replaced" and "Batteries May Drain," after the jump. Heady stuff. Read More...
Our Hip-Hop world whirls around, endlessly, with stories building up and falling away on the daily. But that doesn't affect Roc Marciano in the slightest. He moves at his own [...]

Review by Matt Carey There's something about watching a gig in a church that separates it from normal experiences. Maybe it was the smooth curvature of the architecture doming over the congregational area, or the stained glass windows positioned above and behind the stage at the Union Chapel in Islington, but there was an indefinable buzz in the air as the people took their places on the wooden pews and soaked up the ambiance in anticipation of what was to come. By the time Christian Fennesz took to the [...]
State has been giving Emeralds the runaround for the last few months. For starters, the Icelandic volcano farted ash clouds all over their planned Whelan's show last May. We then missed them at Primavera a few days later as we waited in a three-hour queue for wristbands, and at Bestival they had the misfortune of clashing with Bjork playing her only festival set of the year. We finally get to welcome the much-hyped Cleveland instrumental trio in Whelan's at their first ever Irish show, but soon realise blogosphere bluster doesn't necessarily mean getting punters through the door, as [...]
La semana pasada fuimos invitados a la sala nasti para presenciar un espectáculo al cual no solemos estar acostumbrados en la capital, un poco de experimentación, psychodelia, ambient y electrónica. Nada mas llegar [....]
Obscured by a spattering of scaffolding that seems progressively more intent on obscuring the external grandiosity of Islington's Union Chapel as not only months but seasons flutter by, a solemnity customary of any ecclesial construction swamps its interior. Tonight, this particular house of worship has been infiltrated by the Barbican, as their annual Transcender series takes to incontrovertibly resplendent surrounds. Eat Your Own Ears listings replace hymnbooks in the backs of rigid pews; iPhones click impatiently; footsteps pitter and patter from lamentably understocked merch stand, to bar, to backbench. Tonight errs on the side of the spectacular in [...]
Photo by Jeff Luker I'm not usually one to post something after hearing it only once. Actually, I can't think of a single time I've done it. But I've got to make an exception with the latest output from Mark McGuire, the Cleveland based guitarist better known as one-third of the ambient rock trio Emeralds. He's preparing a new solo LP to be released September 27th, and the first excerpt from
