It's none too often we opt to dissect the components of any which extended-play, purely because there never seem to be all that many that are truly worthy of extensive attention although in the case of precocious Seattleite Peter Michel, who this afternoon at long last unveils his much hankered for Dunes EP, well, let's just say we've yet to swoon so hard for Hibou . It begins with the accelerative guile of Sunder but if you've buzzed about these parts previously you'll doubtless have already indulged in that one and no matter how insatiable my [...]
So spake Mark in Chapter 10 Verse 9 of his greatest hit, the Gospel According to... and indeed it's proving pretty difficult to tear thyself away from Peter Michel's ongoing endeavours under the guise of Hibou . Once of Craft Spells, we not so long ago effusively glorified a previous two-part release entitled Glow/ Hollow and here we return to the adopted Seattleite as, sounding like a freshly revitalised Beach Fossils, he bestows Sunder upon us. A racy bluster to again set the heart aflutter, subtly nuanced ambiences underly guitar lines incisive as the tongue of betrayal and [...]

Source . Alice in Chains - The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here We already know that Alice in Chains finished recording their latest album: The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here , and we also know two videos for some songs from this upcoming album: Hollow (which was actually released in January this year) and Stone. We even know the fact that the album is set to be release on 28th May this year (which means in a couple of days) via Virgin/EMI. Until the releasing of the album, you can listen to a [...]

The Hollows are that rare thing: a strictly democratic group throwing ideas this way and that from all six of its frontmen, yet somehow making it all work. Throw any instrument at the roots-rockers and they'll figure out some way to include it in the potpourri. And all this is poured out in their new live LP 'Neverending Show'. From 'Canyon Rose' to the more aggressive 'Mad As Dogs,' 'Neverending Show' proves these guys know their chops, and are comfortable making it happen in front of any audience. All the more reason to catch them live when [...]

Who knew that in ten years time, the Crosstown crew would be here? Spearheading a deep house revolution, Rebel Raving 'round the globe, breaking the superstar DJs and producers of tomorrow and today; the imprint that was created from the mind of Damian Lazarus has grown into an electronic music institution, one with a festival to its name and a slew of all-star acts on its roster.

Press pictures aside, after listening to the sun drenched surf-pop of Hibou, it's no surprise that he's previously toured as a part of One For The People soft spots, Craft Spells . continue reading >>

Former Craft Spells drummer Peter Michel released a double A-side single last month under the moniker Hibou . The track 'Hollow' is a pretty dream popper suited to his Captured Tracks brethren. However 'Glow' is another story, a darker coldwave tune ( listen here ). This guy is only nineteen! Hibou - 'Hollow' Visit Hibou @ Tumblr @ Soundcloud [...]

Tweet At SGTMT HQ we've had enough of winter. We've had enough of de-icing our outside latrine. We've had enough of wearing Tom's homemade itchy squirrel-hide knitwear. We've had enough of grey and enough of damp. Cold is no longer our friend and overcast is an evil enemy of our once bright moods. We've had enough. We protest. Joining in our protest is Peter Michel aka Hibou . He's 19, from Seattle Yankland and is producing the kinda of beach haze, summer evening [...]

Ahhhh. Warm, washed-out tunes don't get much better than this folks. Seattle's Hibou is somehow blending genres that really shouldn't work together. Seriously, when was the last time you heard a mixture of new wave, surf, and shoegaze...? Still scratching your head? Yeah, I thought so. Upbeat synth tracks lay the groundwork of Hibou's unique sound. Dance-heavy beats, splashed with a 'Toaster' Instagram filter, fill your ears with joyful memories of pure nostalgia. On top of the soul-warming backdrops, distant vocals settle in, creating a, very welcome, laid back vibe. I'm excited to see where Hibou's [...]
Who doesn't love a good mystery? Always a gang of jokesters, the Dirtybird crew has been teasing fans with the release of The Game EP from the veiled producer Friend Within. If I was a betting woman, I would guess Friend Within might just mean this is a new moniker for someone already within the label's inner circle. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. Regardless of the identity of this cryptic figure, the production on this EP is as strong as ever. The title track is a dance floor filler-complete with shuffling percussion and a [...]

Photos and words by Debi Del Grande Does Sarah Negahdari ever rest? Doesn't seem like it. The talented singer/guitarist just got off the road with Silversun Pickups, filling in on bass for Nikki Monninger, who gave birth to twins. Now Negahdari is back, front and center, with Happy Hollows. At the KROQ "locals only" at The Satellite, many many friends of the band showed up to support. Negahdari, along with Charlie Mahoney (bass/keys) Matthew Fry (guitar) and former drummer Chris Meanie (who stepped up to help his friends when new drummer Richy Epolito suddenly departed) played [...]
It was but yesterday that we were extolling the virtues of onetime Craft Spells electric wand slinger Javier Suarez' Gathered Ghosts project, and today our attentions turn to another enchanting Californian-cum-Seattleite to have once earned his stuffed crust playing as part of the former. Peter Michel masquerades as Hibou which, although similarly '80s-indebted, is an altogether more euphoric endeavour and Hollow – the second of two to compose a supremely accomplished release on which Michel acquits himself most adroitly – is mellow as an estival Mediterranean, buoyant and insouciant synths bobbing about vivid crushes of guitar. "There's [...]
Los seguidores de la banda de Seattle acabaron con buen pie el 2012 porque en diciembre publicaron "Hollow" , el single de su próximo disco de estudio. Si recordáis, el grupo acompañó la canción con la letra y fotografías de usuarios de Instagram y, aunque el resultado fue interesante, no tiene nada que ver con el oficial. ¿Quieres ver el nuevo videoclip de Alice In Chains ? Dirigido por Roboshobo (alias de Robert Schober, director que ha trabajado con artistas como Mastodon, Green Day, The [...]

Here are a few last words on 2012. Local flavor I didn't hear enough local (Chicago) releases in 2012 to create a definitive best-of list for the year. (This is something I want to rectify in 2013.) But I did hear some really good albums, including those made by Radar Eyes, Disappears, Hollows (pictured above) and Wes Hollywood . Check these artists out. I also really liked soul / R&B revivalists The Right Now . Replicate - Disappears Guilty [...]

Melbourne based “horror-country” six-piece Graveyard Train have released of their latest video. The video is for the track “The Sermon" taken from Graveyard Train’s latest album Hollow .

Being deeply involved in this whole blogosphere malarkey, its easy to sometimes feel like you're existing within a bubble. Certain artists/tracks seem to take on a life of their own as sites try desperately hard to stay on the bandwagon, often without ever checking to find out if said subject actually holds any worth. After being sent a video last week, and then exchanging a couple of emails with Manchester four-piece Embers it was clear that something had quite clearly sparked in to life. Small blogs and mainstream internet-heavyweights alike were clambering over themselves to [...]
