Tweet In an effort to capture a musician's geography and mirror it against another, Oakland label Gold Robot launches a new themed 73 series that pairs bands from different regions. For the first installment, Oakland's Colossal Yes offers "Backbiter Blues" while the b-side, "Be Like Us", comes from The Good Fear (from Fayetteville, Arkansas). The split is a limited run on colored vinyl, available to purchase on the Gold Robot website. Colossal Yes - [...]

We covered Colossal Yes a while back for their record on Ba Da Bing, Charlemagne's Big Thaw . That album had a rough, raw folk presence that began with a terrifying scream. Undoubtedly folk, the album had plenty of pop sensibilities with jangly guitars and bouncy drum beats. You get some of that here, on their split with The Good Fear. "Backbiter Blues" has a near jazz-like drum beat, pop-filled piano, and a folk vocal drawl. Emphasizing the genre blend, the band throws in a few sax and [...]
After being underwhelmed (and I'm the only one) by Them Crooked Vultures , I began to look ahead to the Supergroups that I would create. Sure, this is all conjecture, and some are jaded by my own personal tastes and connections. It's an interesting topic. Who is your favorite musician, and who would you like to see them playing with? Make your own supergroup, and tell me about it. While I wait, I'll throw out mine. And, I apologize for my lack of originality in naming bands. [...]

The good folks over at Max Recordings , who are releasing the upcoming full-length by The Good Fear , have made this track (and a couple more by their artists) free to the public. It's everything you want: foot-stomping, hand-clapping, and anthematic. ::: The Good Fear - Tools of Trade Keep an eye out for the Lowdown Dirty Adventure album, out real [...]
