The latest finds from the Treasure Trove, starts here... It makes sense that in a year following a reunion by one of the highlights of shoegaze, My Bloody Valentine, and a late-period masterpiece by the former Red House Painter Mark Kozelek (as Sun Kil Moon), that Greensboro, North Carolina's Citified would return with Absence –a record that splits the difference between the softly driven lyrical work of the latter and the hazy crunch of the former. Think about Swervedriver's gift for finding the classic pop and rock structures beneath the murk of shoegaze [...]
Well, they didn't take the stage for either of the Slumberland shows last weekend, but Kurt Heasley and his current cohorts (who knows who that is; the band's redesigned MySpace hacienda is cool-looking but fairly fact-deficient) will be trekking through several towns in California next week. As this is an extremely rare treat, it is a cause for some celebration. Lilys are also playing All Tomorrow's Parties Nightmare Before Christmas thing curated by My Bloody Valentine in England on 6 December, which of course is already sold out.
Lots of artists sample but it's the samples chosen that matter. Sub Sub's "Jaggernath" samples the intro of Weatherall's epic remix of My Bloody Valentine's "Soon". Sub Sub meanwhile are the dance band that would become the rock band Doves. If you only know Sub Sub from their "Ain't No Love Ain't No Use" smash, listen to Jaggernath to understand where Doves came from. Sub Sub will probably be always known as the band that Doves used to be. However, in the early '90s Sub Sub was one of [...]
Atlas Sound is the solo project of Deerhunter vocalist and guitarist Bradford Cox. To date he has released two full-length records, Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See but Cannot Feel in 2008 and just last month Logos . Both records have been released on Kranky (and in some countries 4AD ), just like the Deerhunter catalogue. He has also released an impressive range of EPs and singles on the Deerhunter blog. For me, Let the Blind represented everything I [...]
(click image to enlarge) Above we see shoegaze titans My Bloody Valentine who have been shrunken quite small and injected into someone's bloodstream where they continue to play music. Clockwise from top left are Kevin Shields (dog), Debbie Googe (cat), Colm Ó Cíosóig (naked mole rat) and Bilinda Butcher (deer). It should be noted that Colm's [...]
Inaspettata è stata la notizia di un ritorno di Yoni Wolf e compari a breve distanza da quello spettacolo di "Alopecia", edito appena l'anno scorso. Forte la curiosità di scoprire cos'altro nascondessero quelle stesse session, perché è sempre da lì che provengono le tracce del nuovo "Eskimo Snow". Appena trentacinque minuti per dieci pezzi che non negano la stretta parentela che li lega ai diretti predecessori: è un carosello meno ambizioso, meno caleidoscopico, meno gargantuesco, ma anche meno sfuocato, più semplice e diretto. Se in "Alopecia" la poetica veniva portata agli estremi, qui troviamo schegge di talento e [...]
photos by Kyle Dean Reinford "There are some basic similarities to Ed Banger acts like Justice or M.I.A.. But if anything Sleigh Bells reminds me first of bands like My Bloody Valentine and The Pixies--beauty taken to its absolute pummeling extreme--or Output Records acts like Mu, who typify for me what pop music might sound as putrid, like if we let it sit out and fester for a few years and decompose. A band that approached that formula was Poison [...]

Their first albums were recorded with Isol as the main singer, but since her departure in 2005 they've featured different guest vocalists live and in the studio. Frontera is a MAP-exclusive [...]

Io ti aspetto - l'apertura con un synth disturbante introduce un tappeto degno dei migliori anni 90 electro pop che furono. I Notwist sono un'influenza che ad occhio e croce sembra giocare sorti importanti sul sound del disco. Due - eccoli Il teatro degli orrori dei vostri padri. Quelli con chitarre grattuggiate, basso e batteria sincronizzati manco fossero i Jesus Lizard. I love you baby come era bello far l'amore con te, Capovilla grida il suo nichilismo emozionale. Amore is the new anarchia. A sangue freddo - è la [...]

Penúltima edición del MAP de este año, esta vez con la participación de una banda que ya venía haciendo ruido desde hace tiempo. Nuestra historia rockera es larga y grande, es algo que quizá estábamos olvidando, pero aquí están Los Protones dándonos un boleto de ida y vuelta a nuestros inicios con un rock instrumental que se acopla perfectamente con más de una circunstancia que vivimos a diario, son garage, surf, o como quieras llamarlos con la esencia sesentera en sus venas. Próximos conciertos *20 nov 2009 22:00 Concierto pro fondos 2do [...]
Once more, here is November's edition of the Music Alliance Pact . For those of you who don't know about MAP, it's a collection of music blogs from around the world who band together once a month to shed light on up-and-comers from their home countries. It's sort of like the WTO without the human rights violations. No new MAP countries were added for this edition, so we're sitting solid at 34 countries. If you'd like to be considered, drop by the comments section with a link to your site and I'll [...]
We're so excited about this month's Music Alliance Pact we could explode since it gives us the exclusive privilege of inviting the world to download an incredible song by Scotland's best new band of 2010 and makes us want to use exclamation marks in a frenzied fashion!!! As ever, each country's mp3 selection and the words that go with them come courtesy of the individual blogs, who simultaneously post the entire collection you see below on their own sites. Here for your pleasure then is the world's greatest monthly mixtape... SCOTLAND: [...]
if i had it my way, i would have a tv and a serious hi-fi outside just for days like today. its a gorgeous sunday here in new orleans, the saints are on, and im listening to a record that would be the perfect accompaniment to spending the afternoon relaxing in hammock, or something. the record i am speaking of is the dreamy pop and droning sounds of philadelphia's king kong ding dong and their record, youth culture index , but you probably already figured that out. lyrics/vocals are mostly an afterthought and mostly in used in [...]
