[ download ] [tweetmeme] Goth and synth-pop weren’t always so different as they might seem these days. Both genres started out in the early 1980s as fairly glum offshoots of English post-punk but eventually progressed into their own more cartoonish personas – Goth became the musical equivalent of Tim Burton movies, all cinematic darkness angd black nail polish and teenage girls pining for Edward Cullen, while synth-pop became the soundtrack for day-futurism and shiny happy mall culture. But in the beginning, there was not a world of difference between The Cure and OMD. [...]
[ download ] [tweetmeme] The United States like to think of itself as the nation that invented rock 'n' roll, but anyone who has paid attention to music over the last sixty years or so knows that musical innovation has largely been an import in North America. Of course, in the most simplistic sens, rock music is all really just a manipulation of the blues-another American innovation-but it took foreign intervention to transform those sturdy roots into the expansive boughs of the musical family tree we enjoy today. For some reason, [...]

[ download ] [tweetmeme] Edmonton’s Doug Hoyer first came to attention in his native Canada back in 2004 as a cast member on the CBC reality show Rock Camp - a spin on School of Rock that followed musically inclined teenagers in their efforts to form bands at the titular camp. Since then, he’s been releasing a steady stream of product that usually somehow manages to bring a synth-pop spin to the odd wave of ukulele music that’s been all the rage of late. [...]
[ download ] [tweetmeme] The college trip abroad is a time-honored method for broadening one’s perspectives on the world and awakening creative impulses. College students are at best curious - and at worst, insufferable – in their desire to challenge all the assumptions they’d been raised with, and immersing oneself in the culture of a distant land is a nearly foolproof way for a student to jumpstart their adult persona. In the best cases, they gain insight into what’s really meaningful to them in the world and it starts them on their path to [...]

[ download ] [tweetmeme] It’s not just superheroes who require secret identities. Sometimes musicians stepping out from their day jobs feel the need to create a separate persona, just to underline the fact that they’re doing something a bit different from their usual work. For as much as music fans want their favorite artists to experiment a bit, they also want them to not stray too far afield – recall Neil Young’s “lost decade” back in the 1980s, when he decided he might like to sound like Kraftwerk or Merle Haggard for a change [...]
[ download ] [tweetmeme] “Morning Thought” actually sounds like its title. The first few notes which reach out over fuzzed out chords could be used to sell Taster’s Choice or Folger’s, no problem. Moments later, this tuneful track from Michigan-based duo Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. goes from foggy-brained to fully awake thanks to a gentle, glockenspiel-inspired breakdown fueled by joint vocals courtesy of Josh Epstein and Daniel Zott, the band’s founding (and only permanent) members. As “Morning Thought” moves toward its close, it climbs notch by notch [...]

[ download ] [tweetmeme] Chucha Santamaria y Usted don’t just have one of the longest names in the indie community, they back up those letters with musical heft. “Fiebre Tropical” clocks in at only 2:40, yet it more than justifies the length of their moniker. “Fiebre Tropical” is the first single from Chucha Santamaria y Usted’s self-titled debut mini LP , which the Austin boutique label Young Cubs released in June. Though their sound encompasses that of an entire ensemble, Chucha Santamaria y [...]
mwahaha - "rainbow diamond" (download) I guarantee you will be hearing more about Mwahaha in the coming months. This Oakland 4-piece blends crazy psychedelia with analog drum machines and thick synth lines, making for an all-out aural treat that deserves repeated headphone listens. Their self-titled record (out December 6) features indie darling Merrill Garbus of tUnE-YarDs, and was mixed and partially recorded by Eli Crews ( Deerhoof , Tune-Yards , WHY? , Restiform Bodies ). [...]
MP3: Niki & the Dove - Somebody (Drum Machine Version) The whole recently released/shockingly under hyped single for The Fox by Niki & the Dove is incredible, but it's high mark is closer "Somebody" - credited as a drum machine version. It raises all sorts of questions for the sound of the forthcoming album's counterpart, but what's presented here is pure pop TNT, completely impossible to resist. 26 plays on my iTunes and rising...

Catch today's featured act , Gauntlet Hair, performing tonight, Thursday, July 21st, at 9:00 pm at Hi-Dive. For a duo, Gauntlet Hair manage to make a lot of beautiful noise. The pair hail from the Denver suburb of Lafayette and first made waves with a show at the [...]
[ download ] [tweetmeme] Like a make-out session infused with laudanum and bad vibes, HTRK 's (pronounced "hate rock") "Eat Yr Heart," off of their debut record Work (work, work) , slinks along with sensual discomfort. Beginning with 808 beats slowed to a`mere trickle of momentum, the song builds into its compelling weirdness with an oscillating bass line, delay-heavy vocals, and fleeting synth lines that seem to bubble up from the low end and drift back into the ether. The overall effect bears the [...]
[ download ] [tweetmeme] You can practically hear the smoke machines chugging away in the background as “Throw Away This,” the latest single from Brooklyn-based electro-duo Telepathe unfurls. Yet the neo-retro vibe that Melissa Livaudis and Busy Gangnes cultivate on “Throw Away This” isn’t easy to pigeonhole. The track’s first words instruct the listener, saying, “You can’t think about it too much.” That’s good advice because “Throw Away This” is a song that’s meant to be swallowed whole and experienced by the limbic system. So give [...]
With yesterday's summer solstice comes the need for some perfect summer songs. Bowling Green, Kentucky septet Sleeper Agent is happy to oblige us with the premiere of "Love Blood," a power-pop rave up with an anthemic chorus befitting the new season. Kicking off with a metronomic drum machine track and some quiet keyboard chords, "Love Blood" begins inconspicuously. After introducing the female/male vocal dynamic which will carry throughout the song, there is a squiggly guitar riff buried quietly in the mix that augurs what is about to happen. The [...]
[ download ] [tweetmeme] Most music fans are familiar with the genesis of New Order and how the band that was Joy Division dealt with the death of their lead singer by soldiering on under a new name, adopting a different musical approach, and eventually creating the template for an entire synthesizer-driven genre. Somewhere in a parallel universe beyond our grasp, it was not Ian Curtis whose life was cut short but rather Bauhaus' Peter Murphy, and the band that rose out of the ashes sounded a lot like The Chain Gang [...]
If you go to shows in Portland, you've probably heard Boy Eats Drum Machine. What, do you all live in Portland? I DIDN'T THINK SO. The Oregon musician, known in real life as Jon Ragel, comes to shows armed with a turntable, saxophone, one drum and enough energy to light up a stadium. Ragel plays emotional sample-based tracks infused with his own live instrumentation and vocals. Whether you get a joyous upbeat song, a tragic love song or a jaunt into the experimental turntable territory, you can't help but dance until you don't have the energy to dance anymore. "How [...]
