Christian Banks is a true music artist. His musical compositions are works of art; each song paints a vividly beautiful soundscape for your listening pleasure. Banks' newest project, Walrus Ghost is, as Banks' describes it, a necessary departure from his last musical endeavor- Las Flores Project. The music and style is different while remaining familiar enough to recognize the man behind the sound. It's still Christian Banks at his finest, but in his 2008 release, Colores y Memorias , Banks' style was heavily based on sampling and highly influenced by chill, jazz-infused hip hop instrumentalists. As Christian explains, his [...]

Épico, Neon Walrus Rock Juvenil, Mexico Rating: 70 By Carlos Reyes On their new album's leading single "Símbolos", Neon Walrus sings about five body-less slaughtered heads rolling down on a port. This is the large-scale landscape of the band's sophomore release, one that streams consciousness, stretches the disco sphere thematics, and codifies Mexico's current violent narco war by brushing it into a smart conceptual album with an ironic uneven composition. Neon Walrus put out a stellar self-titled 3-piece EP two years ago [...]

En nuestro habitual repaso de covers toca uno de los temas favoritos de quien esto escribe: "I Am the Walrus". un producto de sucesivos viajes ácidos de John Lennon y parte de la etapa más zafada y genial de los Beatles . Lennon, al igual que en **Happiness Is a Warm Gun", unió varios bocetos de canciones en una sola. Además, según cuenta la leyenda, enterado de que un viejo profesor suyo estaba utilizando las canciones de los Beatles para analizarlas en clase, John decidió incluir varias estrofas rebuscadas o directamente sin sentido, con el [...]
If you've been paying attention to what we do around here (and who could blame you if you didn't?), you'll remember that we brought Hosannas here to Rochester for a show when we brought Young Empires to town back in October. I suppose we didn't really "bring" them here as much as it worked out...

The bass unfolding into the piano riffs and quick synth lines make this song a dark, slick, and massive treat for you relax and listen too. Our SFC Mascot and Bird (his name is Walrus) REALLY recommends it, soooooo... here ya go. Revolting Joks by Jokers of the Scene Share this on Facebook [...]

Get Figure's new single Aura on beatport . One of Brooklyn Fires newest artists , Figure is helping the Midwest make a new name for itself. With his steady stronghold grip on his own style of production , djing , and even promotion , there is no way to ignore the self movement Figure is creating. After breaking away from his hometown of Evansville, Indiana, Figure started by making original and remixing tracks that can be found plastered all over the internet. Spanning from wonky bass house tracks to fidgety remakes of classics [...]
Lemonwilde's Red Room EP is an angst laden romp fully featuring dark imagery and a sullen mix of evocative sounds. That being said, Red Room is in not an emo album but rather a rock album that investigates said emotions. For those not in the know, Lemonwilde is a six man group that has been rising in the blogosphere even performing at one of Sarah Michelle Gellar's parties, ironic that the former Buffy star would enlist a group who has such a dark sound. Their music, however, can hardly be relegated to celebrity parties and [...]

Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal (The Twelves Replay) I don't know about you, but when I say The Twelves in my head, it comes out sounding like one of the Chicago Superfans on that SNL skit . Anyway, The Twelves did a mixtape called Episode II , which can be found on DiscoDust , which I discovered via The Walrus . I haven't listened to the whole thing, but this track right [...]
Throw on this record and it's going to be the furthest thing from pop music you've heard in a long time. The name of the band, The Sound of Animals Fighting, already evokes thoughts of quick, rapid and harsh images whereas the title of the album, The Ocean And The Sun, conjures up mental pallets [...]
(Toronto) For a while now, the Oscar nominated short I Met The Walrus has been appearing on YouTube. It's the animated audio recording of a 1969 interview done in Toronto by then teenager, Jerry Levitan, with John Lennon. This kid skips school, tracks down Lennon in his hotel and asks him for an interview. Lennon then invites him back later that day to do the interview. Jerry Levitan told the story on The Hour of how after his first initial meeting with Lennon, he had to go and buy or [...]
