You could probably trace back the lineup that comprises Faun And A Pan Flute to at least a hundred different other musical projects around town, but this particular amalgamation has a certain unique magic, and it's quickly become one of the city's most compelling outfits. They manage to combine a prowess for the psychedelic with sharp songwriting, a nexus of aesthetics rarely pulled off this well. They recently released a new, seven song record called Cool Galaxy , and I highly recommend picking it up. Here's the title track, one of my favourite songs of 2012, and [...]

I've been hearing Phantogram , one of my favourite non-local new bands, talk about a collaboration with Outkast 's Big Boi via twitter for a long time, so it's pretty exciting to finally get a taste. Here it is, a cut from Big Boi 's Vicious Lies And Dangerous Rumors , which comes out next month. © Davy Minor for Ohmpark , 2012. | [...]

Michael Jordan of the now defunct Cassandras just released his third record this year under the banner of Nobra Noma . This latest three song EP, Not as Lost as You are Now , came out on Halloween and is "all about the terrors of life."

Jungol side-project Dark Room recently unveiled yet another EP full of psychedelic beats called Canopy View . The types of beautiful, abstract sketches found in Graham Yoder's previous Dark Room releases have evolved into stronger compositions here, resulting in this project's most compelling release so far, and one of the better local EPs to come out this year. Here's the opener, and then go get the entire record on Primitive Patterns . goodbye by dark room Dark Room bandcamp [...]

I've been too busy to do much blogging lately, and that trend looks to continue for another week or so. But after this brief intermission, I have a metric fuckton of good local music to share with you. Plus, a big event announcement is on the horizon. In the meantime, I suggest you get out and see some shows. I miss and heart y'all. © Davy Minor for Ohmpark , 2012. | Permalink [...]
