Okay, that last one was a children's album that's only tangentially related to this here post, but it just serves to show that Robert Schneider is a seriously busy and talented dude. From kickstarting the whole Elephant 6 collective to pumping out albums full of psychedelic pop-rock-and producing that classic Netural Milk Hotel album we all know and [...]

"Take a yacht ride in space, with the new Big Fresh record blasting out of the portholes. More hooks than an android can compute. Post-modern pop formations.

Periodically, an exciting release slips past the entire Citizen Dick staff, resulting in much sheepishness and humility at our home office.

"Lo-fi heavy psych-pop acid rockers Thee American Revolution began as a home-recording collaboration between Elephant 6 co-founder Robert Schneider and brother-in-law Craig Morris. Schneider is best known as front-man of The Apples in stereo, and producer of many beloved records, including both Neutral Milk Hotel albums". Passionately induced fuzzed-out feedback ! Thee American Revolution give their unfortunate speakers a good old fashioned hiding with this live recorded studio album `Buddha Electrostorm`. Pumped-up psych-garage blowing current shoegazing trends to pieces, shapes of things, MC5, Creation and Seeds influences all succumb to [...]

It`s the time of the week where sifting through the promotional emails is equivalent to putting the cat out. You never want that box to be on the verge of overflowing, it`s almost an environmental issue. I`d much rather post publicity supplied material than miss the opportunity to share some fantastic music. "I'm Here To Kill is System and Station's third EP (to go along with four full-lengths with a fifth is due in April 2010) and first to appear in the vinyl format (180gram). "System [...]
