El álbum debut de esta banda originaria de Nueva York ha sido muy bien recibido y es de éste, su primer álbum homónimo, donde se desprende el track con nostalgia de los sesenta, " You Know What I Mean ", del cual están estrenando video. El responsable detrás del lente es Isaiah Seret, quien ha realizado otros videos musicales para artistas como Gogol Bordello, Devendra Banhart, Raphael Saaqid, entre muchos otros. El video nos muestra a Madeline Follin cuidando a Brian Oblivion, quien interpreta el papel de un atrevido y arriesgado acróbata de carnaval, [...]
En el marco del lanzamiento regional de la bebida Vitaminwater, el cantautor Devendra Banhart regresará a nuestro país a mostrar sus canciones en clave folkie, tras su paso por Lollapalooza 2011, donde muchos se quedaron sin verlo por la poca capacidad del recinto (La Cúpula), que prácticamente colapsó con su presencia. Banhart vuelve esta vez al Muelle Barón de Valparaíso, en un evento privado que se realizará el 18 de febrero, y que además contará con la presencia de los británicos Hot Chip, que vía Dj set igualmente se reencontrarán con el público chileno, tras su intenso show [...]
"You moved in slow degrees/A sudden memory/You're a Leonard Cohen song" - Better Than Ezra, "Under You" "But I was caught, like a fleeting thought / Stuck inside Leonard Cohen's mind" - Mercury Rev, "A Drop In Time" "Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld / So I can sigh eternally" - Nirvana, "Pennyroyal Tea" It's almost unbelievable now to think that we almost never heard Leonard Cohen , the singer. A well-regarded poet from the late [...]
Two ladies of Oregonian and South African descents respectively, two acoustic guitars, one Berlin-based label , and one day upon which two toe-warming records are outed. Hardly The Twelve Days of Christmas, although that aforementioned day has finally dawned as the latest efforts from Laura Gibson and Dear Reader have eventually emerged like newborns wriggling free from cocoon-like blanket, bathed in daylight for the very first time. Indeed both La Grande and Idealistic Animals add some vivacious flicker to the slow-roasting embers of the New Year as Gibson and Cheri MacNeil masterfully [...]
I'm sorry to have been so lax in my blogging lately... work, school, concerts, life, blah blah blah. You get the idea. And I do have to admit that my absence is partially due to audiobooks becoming my work-time distraction of choice lately. But what brings me by the blog today is a young British [...]
Harvard and Stone used to be just "the Stone," a triumphantly shabby drag queen hangout that could service Jean Spinosa's Wig Out as easily as an impromptu rock show. Now that gentrification bucks have graduated it into "Harvard and Stone," an upscale-looking hetero joint they've decorated ironically by peeling off the plaster, exposing the wood and drywall, installing vintage-looking low wattage bulbs, and basically going "slum chic" with the whole thing, it seemed a little out of place as a venue for Jade Castrinos, the jubilant female co-singer of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, she with the [...]
Linda Perhacs is a California dentist who recorded the legendary psychedelic folk record Parallelograms back in 1970. The album disappeared without much of a proper release and Linda went back into dentistry, only to discover a new generation of fans and artists (like Devendra Banhart, Daft Punk, and Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth) hailing her album as an influential masterpiece 40 years later. This is just a snippet of her contribution to freak folk way before it become a genre. Related articles Legendary psychedelic [...]
