4. Charalambides - Exile Hoewel Tom en Christina Carter in 2007 uit elkaar gingen, zijn ze als het muzikale duo Charalambides onafscheidelijk. Al twintig jaar weten ze met hun combinatie van psychedelische folk, waaierende blues, lichte drones en hallucinerende gitaarscapes menig muziekliefhebber te betoveren. Exile mag (na vijf jaar wachten) geen verassing heten, of het moet de flauwe bocht genomen naar meer toegankelijkheid zijn. Waar Charalambides anno 2011 wel mee verrast, is dat ze na al die jaren en vele releases een album uitbrengt dat misschien wel het summum van de gehele discografie [...]

Ze spelen inmiddels al twintig jaar samen, Christina en Tom Carter (ooit getrouwd), bekend onder de naam Charalambides . Voor het nieuwe album hebben ze ongekend lang de tijd genomen: ruim vijf jaar. Het is het wachten waard geweest, want met Exile brengen ze het beste uit het verleden samen. De muziek van de Charalambides is diep geworteld in de traditionele Amerikaanse folk en blues, maar de minimale arrangementen en het zich traag voortslepende geluid maakt er [...]

"Charalambides is the Greek surname that Houston musicians Christina Carter, Tom Carter, and Heather Leigh Murray use when they perform and record. It's a word I never feel quite comfortable pronouncing; I've heard it spoken aloud any number of ways and the only phonetic spelling I've encountered – Char-a-lam-ba-deez – is still rather oblique, denying a steady signifier in an attempt to make sense of a murky signified. I suppose it's a lesson in methodology: I might try to pull apart the elements that conjoin to form Joy Shapes and isolate them like strata – electric guitar, chimes, pedal steel, [...]

Just when our ears had stopped ringing from the thunderous performances of Sunburned Hand of the Man and Jackie O'Motherfucker at Yamoy's Soy Festival last fall, the ecstatic sound of the American psychedelic Underground returned to the Nantes last Friday with Tom Carter and GHQ –this time, however, in one of its gentler incarnations. Friday March 21st, Nantes. The Grimault, a cramped, dim, saloon-style bar tucked away along the Eastern bank of the Erdre, was packed by 8pm. Tom Carter (Austin, Texas) and two of the members of the New York trio GHQ (Marcia Basset and [...]

I'm sure you're all being slaves to the television and watching Academy Awards-related programming, but I have chosen to compile for you a new Mix Tape. Tomorrow you will be blessed with Episode 5 of The Best Podcast You Have , Circulations Amethyst. The title is "Vibrophile". I thought "Heroin Cheek" would've been funnier. Normally I don't pay any attention whatsoever to the names of these Mix Tapes. You could download them and conjure your own titles, for all I care. This week I received a nice comment from Tim in Cairo, Egypt, and after a couple [...]
