Videotape - Monsters Chicago’s Sophie Leigh wrote me this note with her band’s brand new single: Dear Mark, Lately, I’m feeling especially torn on some things. But, really, they can all be summarized into one simple question: ‘What’s next?’ I guess you could say this is just a biological aspect of human nature. It keeps us moving forward. It’s necessary for survival. We strive for things, the world moves, we move with it. Whether we like it or not, we mirror our evolving environment. When I was a bit [...]

Videotape Stuff. FRIDAY VIDEOTAPE Indie poppers Videotape create a relaxing dreamscape that is signature shoegaze, although somewhat darker in tone. The Chicago group mixes sweeping electronic background noises with light-as-cotton-candy pop harmonies and solemnly strummed guitars. On its Videotape EP the group’s sound lands somewhere between 90s vets Sneaker Pimps and Mazzy Star with its ghostly, empty Cathedral-esque atmosphere. Milktooth, Labors, and Jack & Ace (featuring Bob [...]

Based in Portland, Oregon, Blouse is comprised of members Charlie Hilton, Patrick Adams, Jacob Portrait, and Paul Roper. Here we find them swooning elegantly through the standout track, "Videotapes," from the 2011 debut album, BLOUSE , on Captured Tracks. Wildly pitch-shifted and wonderfully out-of-whack, this song is near-perfect in almost every imaginable way. It's from the recent MusicFest NW in Portland. Held at venerable downtown venue Ted's, (formerly Berbati's Pan), the night showcased five favorite past collaborators from Room 205, including Blouse, Crystal Antlers, Craft Spells, Tropic of Cancer and [...]
Though uneven, This is Disconnect is a varied and often impressive set of tunes from a curiously talented new band. Chicago outfit Videotape is a band that dips firmly into '90s rock sounds. Thankfully, though, This is Disconnect doesn't hide behind tape hiss or bedroom lo-fi. The five-piece band brings out an unabashedly big sound, from the jagged riffs of "No One" to the shoegaze grind of "Pulling Teeth" to the moody, jangling expanse of "Walking in Circles". The band is at its best when it deals in shadowy territory. Lead singer Sophie Leigh has...

Seemingly a plunge into the depths of indie-atmosphere, Chicago’s Videotape has returned, not merely as aural-ghosts, but a fully-fledged rock outfit. Sporting new members and a broader musical scope, the quintet attempts to strike a balance between the omnipresent haunted moods of the past and their new & improved melodic-rock sensibilities. The evidence is all over new album, This Is Disconnect , a record that finds the promising but raw young band longing to stretch, even as they meander, and slowly but surely finding their way onto an increasingly enriched musical terrain. [...]
September's music scene in and around Philadelphia kicked off with huge acts around the area (Bruce Springsteen, Jay-Z, Scrillex), but many of the shows we are interested in catching come from the list below. Animal Collective , the Baltimore-based, experimental electronic rockers, return with Centipede Hz . Unlike Merriweather Post Pavilion , this album evenly spaces out their weird vibe. Their music can't be appreciated fully in a listen either, and it hardly resembles the repetitious feel that people know them for ("My Girls", "Lion in a Coma"). If you didn't like their previous work, don't [...]

A day late - some 'new' for you Teen – Electric [mp3] (from In Limbo , out August 28 th on Carpark Records ) Teeny Lieberson’s (of Here We Go Magic ) version of ‘chick rock’ masquerades as grungy psyche-pop.
