Groups of 9 or More: Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros – Poignant New ‘Child’ Video; Japonize Elephants – Mélodie Fantastique and Mousetraps

Oct 11, 2012, 8:02pm Luxury Wafers
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Child [Official Video]
In exactly the hallucinogenic fashion you'd expect from a bay area nonet, Japonize Elephants congregate with instruments from every nook and cranny, including parts of the kitchen sink and nearby combustible engines, to create slinky, theatrical, gypsy-meets-circus-meets-ridic ulous-plus-a-side-of-adrenalin pieces. To complement the ensemble's large-scale, gluttonous feasting on the every-genre music bazaar buffet, Japonize Elephants' upcoming live [...]

Luxury Wafers Live Sessions - Y La Bamba - Juniper
Mornings are moody here in LA of late. I can't think of much more apropos to compliment the first-thing fuzz and cuppa joe than Portland's Luz Elena Mendoza and her band, Y La Bamba. We recorded this session live at Jackpot Studios in Portland, just before Thanksgiving in 2009. The song is Juniper, from Y [...]

Jacob Miller on the Front Porch – East Side Drag

Oct 5, 2012, 2:39pm Luxury Wafers
Jacob Miller - Texas Eagle Blues
A passel of songs have taken new life on the front porch. It's a natural breeding ground, where the chemistry of good company, inebriants, and various forms of musical expression fosters an urge to keep coming together and creating that spark. If Jacob Miller didn't invent the front porch in a past incarnation, then certainly [...]

Luxury Wafers Live Sessions - Benoit Pioulard - Triggering Back
Having Benoit Pioulard (aka Thomas Meluch) in the studio for a live session just before Thanksgiving in his then-current town was a real treat for us at Luxury Wafers.  Understated, Pioulard quietly had a seat - guitar in hand - and proceeded to enchant with his lush, blurry soundscapes. It was perfectly Portland in the [...]

Mole Gone Wild

Sep 28, 2012, 1:28am Luxury Wafers
Feria de los moles 2012
I've been on a mole kick ever since we returned from Portland. Perhaps because parts of me weren't ready yet to leave the enveloping earth tones and oxygen-rich air of the Pacific Northwest. Or the eat-happy, walking neighborhoods of Rose City. And perhaps because we brought home a little virus as a souvenir of [...]

We have different styles. (You’re an asshole.) The Milk Carton Kids play it right.

Apr 27, 2012, 2:24am Luxury Wafers
LISTEN - :: The Milk Carton Kids - New York (mp3) :: When I stepped into LA's charming Largo at the Coronet on Tuesday night, I unknowingly stumbled into a vortex of timelessness with The Milk Carton Kids, a folk duo (Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale) originally from Los Angeles, now New York-based.

Record Home Sessions - Courtney Jones
This was fun. Even before the 'Pie and Tart' home studio was built out and put together, our good friends from Propellerhead suggested the kind of 2-day bash we can really dig: freeform recording with friends who are top singer-songwriters and players. The equation, which produced good times and two awesome new songs (listen and [...]

Summer Solstice by Crystal Antlers
While sorting through cyber-mountains of files during re-entry to the Luxury Wafers atmosphere, I ran across this video of one of my all-time most memorable and favorite sessions: Crystal Antlers. Oh man. Awesome. Details of the session are blurry in my memory. From the calendar, I know it was late afternoon in July of 2009. [...]

Hello again, dear Wafer lovers!

Jan 12, 2011, 11:28pm Luxury Wafers
Hola! Que tal? Where to begin?! I've missed you, friends. It's been so long. There was a time when I was exhausted and nauseated. Then I swelled to unbelievably enormous proportions. Then, after the passing of numerous moons, I sprung a new little Waferlet. She's 5 months old now and, happily, she happens to dig good [...]

Butch Norton and Peter Malick are longtime friends and lifelong players. When the two get together it's always shenanigans of the best variety. Part mad scientist, part steady mountain, Butch (Eels, Lucinda Williams) enlivens anything from a standard drum kit to fancy specialized percussion instruments to appliance parts. With inexhaustible awe, Butch hears opportunity for [...]

What I love about the young, old-sounding souls, Wye Oak from Baltimore, is the womb they create. Between Jenn Wasner's mesmerizing, melty voice - like warm poured liquid - plus heavily enveloping guitar and Andy Stack's arrangements, which include crashing cymbals, pounding drums and keyboard drones, there's a wall of insulation erected that begs escape [...]
