The Return of SirBilly

May 14, 2011, 5:45pm silence is a rhythm two
SirBilly is a long time fave here at SIART. He remixes almost exclusively '80s music, often by some relatively obscure acts. I have enjoyed pretty much everything he has ever sent to me. I was very happy to hear from him again, especially considering the song he has remixed is Heaven 17's Let Me Go. It is a stone cold classic tune - a tight groove and some deliciously rubbery wubba-wubba synths

Choco Pudding

May 12, 2011, 4:00pm silence is a rhythm two
Box Codax is the new project from Franz Ferdinand guitarist Nick McCarthy. He has enlisted the help of his wife Manuela Gernedel and friend, poet and singer Alex Ragnew. Their new album Hellabuster is out now on Gomma. It features some production by Metronomy, and it is really quite delicious. It kicks off with the very Franz-ish title track, morphs into some tasty disco, then into some lovely

Violent Sensation Descends

Violens - Violent Sensation Descends - Music Video
NYC based combo Violens are my current obsession. Born from the ashes of Miami art collective Lansing Dreiden, they pick up from where that band left off. LD mixed art rock and prog with idyll pop, and slathered it in the gloss of the '80s. Violens retain all of those elements, but they punch it all up a bit more. Their debut album Amoral came out at the tail end of last year and it is chock full

SIART Decade

May 10, 2011, 6:30pm silence is a rhythm two
It recently occurred to me that I've been doing this blog for 10 years now. When I started in 2001 I was a relative newbie to the web. I used Yahoo's GeoCities as my first foray into audio blogging. The name of the page was The Rezidence. It was a lot of writing and a few mp3s. Over the first 4 years I really dug into posting, and enjoyed seeing my readership grow. By 2004 I was stymied by

Kauf - When You're OutRonald Kaufman is LA based one man band Kauf. Recording out of his bedroom studio, he has just released his second single When You're Out.

Stuck In The '80s

Apr 16, 2011, 12:15pm silence is a rhythm two
A funny thing has been happening in my music world this year. Many of the bands I was listening to 30 years ago have been resurrecting their careers and recording new albums. While this is not uncommon in music history, what has been surprising is the general quality of these new records. That is to say, they do not suck. Here are a few examples...In January seminal post-punkers Gang Of Four put

My current music crush is Phantogram, a duo from Saratoga Springs NY consisting of guitarist Josh Carter and keyboardist Sarah Barthel. Their debut album Eyelid Movies originally came out November of 2009, then got reissued in February of 2010 by Barsuk and Ghostly International. Somehow I completely missed them on my usually trusty muso-radar. In December my brother posted his top records of the
