The calm before the storm. Literally. New York is bracing for the biggest hurricane it's ever faced (named after Irene Ryan, Granny Clampett was one tough cookie) and I'm just hoping my 100 year-old building will survive the winds. (It survived the earthquake on Monday... what a week!) Until then, or if you're somewhere not on the East Coast of the United States, please enjoy the collection of mostly jangly pop. This week mostly ping-pongs between now and the mid-'80s (hey, that's new for me!), with a few stops in the '90s as well. Cover art this week [...]

Theres been plenty of significant interest in what Kurt Feldman has been doing over the last couple of years. You may recognize him from his drumming in The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart or for his guitar/vocal work in Depreciation Guild . You may not, however, know that hes teamed up with Raphael Radna( Depreciation Guild ) as well as a couple others and formed himself a little electro-pop band called Ice Choir . While Ice Choir still has yet to release anything formally, they have recorded [...]

Last week we spotlighted the first solo single from Au Revoir Simone's Erika Spring , and teased that 73's flip side, a new single from taut, prog-intoned NYC new wave outfit Violens. "It Couldn't Be Perceived" presents Jorge Elbrecht's synth-stained (Brit)pop and muso instincts in honorable form, with tricky stops, dramatic arrangements, shifty song structure. Meanwhile the video's fuzzy footage and spy flick style offers the band a new way to collaborate with Chairlift's Caroline Polahcek, who has previously recorded a "French Duet" with Violens and directs here.

Ehrlich gesagt fand ich ja die New Yorker Band Violens zu Beginn ihrer Karriere, als sie noch The Smiths-Reminiszenzen in ihrer Musik zum Klingen brachten, am besten. Danach wandelte sich ihr Stil, hin zu einer etwas undefinierbaren Mischung aus Indie und Dreamgaze. Die schmissigen Melodien waren aber irgendwie weg. Dennoch bleibt die Band eine erfreuliche Erscheinung auf der amerikanischen Musikbühne, was sie mit ihren neuen Songs, die sie im Verlaufe der letzten Wochen auf ihrer Website veröffentlicht haben (und die es alle einzeln als MP3-Download zu kaufen gibt), wieder unter Beweis stellen.

Erika Spring busca agora seu caminho próprio, com uma nova carreira solo, mas os fãs de seu trabalho no trio Au Revoir Simone não terão motivos para reclamações. Afinal, a primeira faixa liberada pela cantora traz exatamente um synth-pop classudo, relaxado e repleto de vocais etéreos. 6 More Weeks agradará os fãs de Bat for lashes e, é claro, Au Revoir Simone . A faixa foi lançada em um compacto dividido por Erika com a banda Violens , foi produzida pelo líder do grupo psicodélico, [...]
![[Listen] – Erika Spring – "6 More Weeks"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3604916_lg.jpg)
Tweet Au Revoir Simone songstress Erika Spring has ventured onto her own with a new single, "6 More Weeks"- to be released as part of a split 73 with The Violens. The song itself doesn't shy away from the AVS aesthetic: the lyrics are heavy but the delivery is not. If fact, Spring's song pace changes though the song, never letting the listener tire of the lyrical material and instead brings a baroque synth-pop sound- a great way to introduce her new solo project.
