Hey, who said festival season was over? A certain All Tomorrow's Parties event, the inaugural U.S. I'll Be Your Mirror , just took Asbury Park, New Jersey by storm (sort of literally, but that's okay because it was inside!) and it surely qualifies as a festival. That's right, while every other festival is in its 10th year and booking the same 250 acts as the festival preceding it, ATP just swoops in with an unglamorous but effective idea and declares itself a contender for U.S. festival of the year! At least as far as the [...]

Anyone who saw only the first Portishead performance at this weekend's ATP I'll Be Your Mirror music festival is going to feel ripped off when they hear about second. Not only did the oft quiet trip-hop trio play "Chase the Tear" after teasing it the night before, but the band brought on not one, but two guests. Public Enemy frontman Chuck D, who had just finished filling out the second slot of the night, first joined on during "Machine Gun", as he did back in 2008 for Barcelona's Primavera Sound. His bit involved a [...]

With a lineup topped by the reclusive Jeff Mangum and the awe-inspiring Portishead, who are also curating two of the days, the New Jersey edition of ATP's I'll Be Your Mirror music festival provided one good reason to head to the Garden State this summer. (Hopefully Springsteen announces a tour so we have another.) Set for August 30 - September 2 in Asbury Park, the festival has announced a new batch of acts, including Swans, Battles, Deerhoof, Peanut Butter Wolf, Silver Qluster, Manorexia featuring Jim Thirwell (Foetus), and Foot Village. Plus, Oneida will follow [...]

While half of the country is once again bombarded with snow, many will be awaiting the annual arrival of a certain rodent who will dictate the changing of the seasons. (Hint: He's a star of a Bill Murray movie!) As enthralling as this proclamation may be for some, we here at CoS are invested in a different pursuit: the decoding and discovery of all festival news, of which there was no lack of this week. After all, we’re not afraid of our shadows. More official lineup announcements have been trickling in, including Paid Dues, [...]

Bad news: There's no ATP New York in 2011. Good news: There will be an ATP New Jersey and holy shit is the lineup awesome. After bringing tantalizing lineups to Kutsher’s Country Club in Monticello, New York for the last three years, All Tomorrow's Parties is moving the festivities to Asbury Park, New Jersey for 2011 and its inaugural bill includes two of music's most sought over acts - reclusive Neutral Milk Hotel frontman Jeff Mangum and UK trip-hop icons Portishead . The three-day "I'll Be Your Mirror" event will take place from [...]
