Celebration times at the headquarters of NOTHING BUT HOPE AND PASSION. Who would have thought our little guestmix series made it to its twentieth instalment one day. But now we have – after twenty diversified song selections from artists like RANGLEKLODS, SLEEP PARTY PEOPLE, TO KILL A KING, YOUTHKILLS or TEEN DAZE – a reason The post NBHAP Guestmix #20 - Reptile Youth appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .
John Wright The last time that Pet Shop Boys were in town, it was for V Fest 2009 and while I was excited for their performance, it was more because I wanted to see their audience intersect with the Nine Inch Nails fans who were there to see Trent and company, who were playing immediately afterwards, than out of any real sort of fandom. Their show, however, blew me away with its technicolour visuals, elaborate choreography, and top-notch pop songcraft that they were easily the highlight of the weekend and, having since gotten to [...]

Mixtape: Bay Area Artists, Remixing and Remixed (Podcast #304) All too frequently, remixes are just okay , but when they are great, they're really something special. A truly great remix can shed new light on the original artist's work and stand on its own as a unique creation. That's no easy feat, either, given the tension between staying true to an original song's components and a reworker's desire to create something new and personal. These days, it feels far too easy to get remix fatigue. Reworkings seem to pop up almost immediately after [...]
Nothing quite like figuring out that you still have 1600 shots to go through after six posts already up for SxSW... Sorry, SxSW seems like a distant memory, but I may just rekindle some fond memories of the smaller shows that you should have gone to. Official SxSW stuff, I have already shared the shots of The Flaming Lips headlined party and Iggy and The Stooges . This gallery has shots of Mompox , Young Galaxy , Local Natives , Gold Fields , Shout Out Louds [...]

Watch videos for Horse Thief's brilliant track I Am The Bear , a stunning intimate acoustic perfomance from SXSW by Iron & Wine , a gorgeous Phantoms & Friends from Old Man Canyon (free EP download from Bandcamp here ), and to finish the jittery, unsettling Want by The Soft Moon gets a video to match... . .

Il y a quelques mois l’équipe de Stage of the Art nous contactait afin de nous donner la primeur d’une interview de The Soft Moon qui se produisait le soir même, livrant au passage un concert d’anthologie devant un public du Point Ephémère chauffé à blanc. Un crash d’ordi plus tard, il ne nous restait plus qu’à pleurer sur des rushs perdu à jamais, rejoignant des milliers de datas indispensables (films de boules, gif animés, disco complète de Dave…) mais tristement irrécupérables… Heureusement, il y a quelque jours Marion, notre contact inestimable chez Differ-ant [...]

The best music videos that crossed my video screen this week - the top three on the list you'll find below - are paranoid little masterworks of dread and disorientation and confusion. I have no idea what any of them are about, but all of them crept their way into my bloodstream and radiated menace in every direction. The other two videos on the list are cartoonish little bursts of joy. Music videos: They contain multitudes! Watch the picks below. Read More...
Admittingly not the most likely artist to show up on Magnetic, but fuck it. This music video for he Soft Moon's "Want" is pretty damn sweet in my book and the track thumps too. Dark, brooding, aggressive hand drums with a relentless build that has a way of sucking you in without even realizing it. So here you go, Grant Singer’s official video—see if you get hypnotized like I did… You might also like: Watch: The Soft Moon "Want" Official Music Video [...]
Zeros is out now on Captured Tracks.
Os americanos The Soft Moon já nos têm habituado a uma linha experimental no que toca a produções audiovisuais de ilusões de movimento. Mostraram-no nos vídeos do homónimo The Soft Moon (2010) e continuaram em escala de cinzas nos últimos do mais recente Zeros (2012). Em "Want" a previsibilidade do experimental a preto e branco na tela é completamente arrasada. Numa direcção de Dario Argento, um homem (Luis Vasquez) sob o efeito de substâncias psicoativas, deambula por entre ruas à procura de algo. Tenta abrir as portas das [...]
Luis Vasquez and his project THE SOFT MOON present another music video from the second album Zeros, which was released in November 2012. Want is a dark journey again. Vasquez knows to create gritty atmospheres with his music. And so the impelling and deep sound fit perfectly to the threatening setting. Although the musician chose The post The Soft Moon with new video "Want" appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .
Between MS MR's clip for " Hurricane " yesterday and this, the Soft Moon's video for "Want," I'd like to suggest to Tom that perhaps this week's video wrap-up be about the most unsettling visuals of the week instead of the best. "Want," directed by Grant Singer, is a skittering portrait of drug-addled transgression after transgression after transgression. It does, however, line up perfectly with the Soft Moon's angular and jarring post-punk. Check it out below. Read More...
Hoy me siento terriblemente mal, estresado, y con un montón de conflictos en la mente, así que puedo entender muy bien lo que está pasando con Luis Vasquez en este vídeo de The Soft Moon , excepto que no ando en drogas... Ilegales. "Want" es uno de los momentos más intensos de " Zeros ", y con ello tenía que aparecer un vídeo igual de intenso que el juego de percusiones que componen este track. No sé si me voló la cabeza, pero me parece que este será uno de los mejores vídeos que podrán ver durante todo el [...]
No, I am not done yet. This one and a gallery of the showcases is all that is left. If I can muster it, I'll do a best of post. Best-ofs are easier well removed from a festival because lasting memories help define what really got you going. Anyway, this giant gallery of daytime show goodness includes some candids and portraits from around the conference during the unofficial events. Highlights include Wax Idols , Nobunny , The Soft Moon , Criminal Hygiene , Bleeding Rainbows , that band Thurston Moore is [...]
Kasper counts down his top five on SoundCloud.
Since emerging as in 2009, Luis Vasquez's solo project The Soft Moon has evolved into a full band that knows how to invade the core of its listener's senses. With synthesizers and fuzzed-out guitar making up the bulk of its sound, the San Francisco-based group creates primitive post punk that summons beautiful, dark imagery. The Soft Moon's tunes are at their most dizzying during live shows, when smoke and visuals warp the entire performance into something otherworldly. The band recently released the video for its single "Insides," off of the 2012 album Zeros [...]
