It's almost Halloween. That means that The Marshmallow Ghosts are here to provide some haunting music and videos. The Ghosts just released their first full-length album, self-titled The Marshmallow Ghosts , and an accompanying album-length music video called Corpse Reviver No. 2 . The Marshmallow Ghosts have been a side project for members of numerous bands from Graveface Records over the past few years. This reincarnation features members from Lady Lazarus, Dreamend, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Casket Girls and, Lawrence's own, Hospital Ships . The album features songs titled "Shrieks," "Creaks," [...]
BY RYAN PAUL PLEWACKISpecial to Gimme NoiseI've been fortunate to have worked on a few projects with Darren Jackson over the course of the last year. There had been small hints and mentions of a new
Black Moth Super Rainbow hold a secure place in my heart as a band I'd love to see live but have, on several occasions, missed. With a new album coming out next year, Psychic Love Damage , there are definitely things to look forward to for BMSR fans. I noticed just now that the teaser they posted for the new album had yet to be posted on Earmilk (I saw it and thought about posting it a while back, and then probably got distracted by porn or work or work porn or something), so it only seemed appropriate to [...]
Yesterday we got word of this new project called The Nighty Nite formed by John Congleton and Jason Garner of the Paper Chase along with members of Shearwater, Wires Under Tension, and The Hospital Ships. Coming from a short recording session, the new group produced four songs for an EP entitled Dimples due out June 21st via Graveface Records . You'll obviously hear the heavy influence of The Paper Chase in these tunes with that familiar indie horror music style that we've grown to love. Glad to hear these guys are continuing to create enjoyable tunes. [...]
He might not be a household name, but Jordan Geiger's got the musical chops to strike out on his own. Geiger's been a member of some lovely indie bands, namely The Appleseed Cast, Shearwater and Minus Story. And now his solo project, Hospital Ships, seems poised to grab those same fans by the heart and [...]
Hospital Ships bring to mind bands like Islands or Death Cab for Cutie due to the vocalists occasionally shimmers of Ben Gibbard esque vocal qualities. The band is the bedroom project of Jordan Geiger, former member of Shearwater and a personal favorite of mine The Appleseed Cast. Full length, Lonely Twin is coming soon via Graveface and a 73 for is available now . Check out two tracks below and the video for "Reprise" after the jump. Mp3: Hospital Ships - Honey Please [...]
We told you a couple of months ago about Blue Water White Death , the collaboration between Jamie Stewart and Jonathan Meiburg, frontmen of Xiu Xiu and Shearwater respectively. Since then updates have been in short supply, their website still reads "coming soon." However Stereogum have just premiered a track from the album called "Song For The Great Jihad" which you can check out below. MP3: Blue Water White Death - "Song For The Great Jihad" The description of the album posted in that Stereogum piece reads as [...]

Graveface of Black Moth Super Rainbow is coming out with a new album under the moniker Dreamend called So I Ate Myself, Bite by Bite out August 10th. This is a follow up to his 2008 release Long Forgotten Friends which is hauntingly chilling and beatiful. For those who are hardcore BMSR fans, don't go into this expecting those old antics. Dreamend is folky chants that are easy to get lost in. Where Tobacco went to a darker corner, Dreamend has taken a lighter [...]

These textures are enigmatic, and their intent rests in peace. We gave Periphery some lovin' in November before taking it in full exposure, but now having been eagerly dosed with a full amount of the Seven Fields of Aphelion we're rolling down the largest hill in flavor country. Having taken to the timeless, it's no surprise that Black Moth Super Rainbow's Seven Fields has transformed the most minimal of keyboard and synth based compositions to an epic magnitude. There are contours to carry your sorrows, valley to push you through thought, and deep caverns [...]
The Seven Fields Of Aphelion is set to release her debut solo album, "Periphery", later this month via Graveface. If you like nice soothing instrumental chillout tracks this one is for you. Grab two of the tracks from "Periphery" below. MP3 #1: The Seven Fields Of Aphelion - "Grown" MP3 #2: The Seven Fields Of Aphelio - "Mountain Mary"
Black Moth Super Rainbow member The Seven Fields of Aphelion is set to release her solo debut, Periphery, later this month on Graveface. The record is a collection of soothing "fragile ambient soundscapes" created using piano and vintage synths, which lend these floating sleep jams a warm, nostalgic glow.

So with our beloved Black Moth Super Rainbow in a coma and a rumored release from Tobacco on the way it only makes too beautiful sense to see an official release from Seven Fields of Aphelion on the Graveface label. A twelve track release, Periphery will hit the ground running on February 16 and if this little gem is dealt right I'm crossing my fingers for some heavy 2010 Wendy Carlos appreciation...not like I just listened to a bit of the original Tron soundtrack after bumpin' "Mountain Mary."

...then you're just not hearing it! Graveface is one of the raddest labels around and to treat our fantasies to such Halloween delight is just too rich - we're going to get cavities! For the generation that 'has it all' we're lacking one of many things and that's a new Halloween song, all of this monster mashing has given me bruises and sores. To this year's advantage members of Black Moth Super Rainbow, The Appleseed Cast, Dreamend and Casket Girls have collaborated on what will become an annual treat, Marshmallow Ghosts , and in Graveface ideology [...]

MP3: Black Moth Super Rainbow - Gold Splatter A band like Black Moth Super Rainbow could easily make the same songs and records over and over again and still be great, but luckily they released "Eating Us", a complete progression to the trademark BMSR sound. The song that I can't get out of my head or stop listening to is "Gold Splatter": it stops time and fills the space with beautiful music. So far, it's made every day better during the minutes it consumes. No need for helmets as the [...]

Somewhere in Pennsylvania, some guy makes trippy records with some of his friends. I do have a few more details about this guy. They won't do you much good though. His name is Tobacco and he lives in or around Pittsburgh. Maybe. He sings through a vocoder, a lot. Guys like this would get my vote for American Idol: write sunshiney melodies, set them to gentle grooves, and then perform from a sitting position , practically out of sight, hoodie or knit cap pulled tight, tinkering with their gadgets like some musical alchemist—the music transforming my mood, my state [...]
Reviewing a Black Moth Super Rainbow record is ultimately kind of a ridiculous proposition. After all, this is a band that essentially puts out the same record over and over, release after release ( Pitchfork , in fact, leveled this very criticism at the band in a recent review). In the hands of many bands, this would most definitely be a bad thing...but criticisms like that just don't work here. So, the news is: this is more of the same. And I, for one, certainly couldn't be happier. [...]

If you've ever been curious on the topic of transcending space and time then I have a few recommendations I'd like to share: 1) read Stephan Hawking's A Brief History Of Time 2) watch Donnie Darko 3) wikipedia Back To The Future and familiarize yourself with every time paradox in the film, then think about how these are each relevant to Lost . Before you head off and do any of these, I recommend checking out the new Black Moth Super Rainbow video for "Dark Bubbles." Created over the course of [...]

I had started off really noisy and abstract with Allegheny White Fish . We were all so happy with ourselves for coming up with that name in 10th grade, but it wasn't too funny 4 years later. Then ssc [satanstompingcaterpillars] was like my way to be more melodic all the time, and a little more serious. Then when it started to shift again into something I might be a little more comfortable performing live, I brought in the rest of the band and we changed over again.
