Last week when Peter Wolf Crier toured through Washington DC they had time to stop by WGTB, Georgetown University's radio station and play a few songs. Peter Wolf Crier played "For Now," "Crutch and Cane," "Saturday...
We see what you're doing there, Kristen Stewart! Yesterday at JFK KStew, outspoken Bon Iver fan, threw up the GAYNGS sign to the paparazzi. She forgot to put her thumbs up, but whatever, this is clearly her way of showing us that she's do...

![Peter Wolf Crier – Inter-Be [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2612499_lg.jpg)
On the second morning of SXSW I mustered up the energy to roll out of bed to see Peter Wolf Crier's set at The Muzzle Of Bees party. I had listened to an advanced copy of Inter-Be while at work and wasn't able to get a firm grasp on the music with all the distractions. I was not prepared to be blown away in Austin. Consisting of Peter Pisano and Brian Moen, the duo based out of Minneapolis play some blend of folk/blues that's tough to label. A friend of mine claims they sound like M. Ward, but [...]

MP3: Black Mountain - Old Fangs I love me some Pink Mountaintops and Lightning Dust, but man I've been ready for everybody to get back to it and record a new Black Mountain LP for what seems like ages. Guess what? It is on mother fuckers: Wilderness Heart is the name of the game (that's the album art of the year up above) and will be out September 14th on Jagjaguwar . It's gonna rule, just like [...]

Canadian psychedelic rockers Black Mountain will return this September with their third album Wilderness Heart . As with their previous two records this one will be released by Jagjaguwar in North America on September 14th and the day before in Europe. The insane picture above is the cover and the tracklist for Wilderness Heart is below, followed by the mp3 of the second track "Old Fangs." 01. The Hair Song 02. Old Fangs 03. Radiant Hearts 04. Rollercoaster 05. Let Spirits Ride 06. Buried By The Blues [...]

Fertig episch. Für das kommende Album kochen Black Mountain ihren üppigen Psychedelic Rock auf grosser Flamme ein und verabreichen mit "Old Fangs" schon mal eine reduzierte, schnörkellose Konserve als Vorgeschmack. Mit einem schlichtweg umwerfenden zweiten Album haben sich Black Mountain Anfang 2008 den Weg in eine glorreiche Zukunft geebnet. "In the Future" war psychedelisch, brachial, out there. Dass ein Nachfolger so lange auf sich warten lassen würde, hätte man nicht erwartet und auch die Nebenprojekte der Bandmitglieder, Pink Mountaintops und Lightning Dust , [...]

There is an inherent familiarity embedded deep within the songs on Inter-Be , the stellar debut record from the Minneapolis-based duo Peter Wolf Crier . That's not to say that these tracks are knockoffs or pale imitations of other bands sound or style; it's just that these songs have an intimacy and warmth to them that proves to be instantly identifiable, as if you've heard them being sung before around a smoky campfire in your dreams. These numbers are just incredibly lived-in and remarkably genuine, exuding a sense of truth and [...]

Click here to re-enter the world of Black Mountain. New album, Wilderness Heart , out September 14th via Jagjaguwar. Rock 'n' roll.

You're probably going to get your song heard here if it says that you're a musician who performs in Justin Vernon's band Bon Iver . This track (below) comes from the debut album from S. Carey called All We Grow and is the result of a young lifetime spent immersed in music. The album is a part Bill Evans inflected jazz tendencies and part traditional rock band experience, also retesting "the waters of modern classical composition, investigating the moodiness generated by percussive repetition in a manner familiar to fans of Steve Reich." He'd write these songs while [...]
April seems a long time ago. And it probably is. So if you haven’t yet listened to the Small Black EP released on Jagjaguwar (think Bon Iver; it’s completely not) all those years ago in April, then now would be as good a time as any to introduce yourself to it. Suggested position for listening: lying down in a sunny patch between two large bushes (this is not a euphemism). And if you are lazy enough not to have got involved yet, then you will probably need more persuasion than summer based-fantasising, so observe the new video to standout track [...]

JagJaguwar just announced that they will be releasing the debut album from S. Carey titled All We Grow on August 24th. You might no Sean from his gig as one of the percussionists for Bon Iver , and you'll recognize a similar sound coming from the first single "In The Dirt." It has a bedroom quality that's soft and gentle, warranting repeated listens as you relax on those warm summer evenings. So far, there's not a thing not to like, so enjoy. [...]
Was kinda hoping for a performance vid for "Albatross," really dig what we got though.

Who : The Dead Weather Title : Sea of Cowards Label : Third Man Records Thoughts : While we all patiently wait for Meg White to get back to playing the drums we are left to fill our need for blues tinged rock with Jack White's other projects - The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather. While they aren't quite what we look for in The White [...]

GAYNGS releases their first album, Relayted , today, so I thought I would feature another song of theirs to kick it off. This may not be " The Gaudy Side of Town ", but it sure as hell has some good vocals (especially the chorus), and one hell of a sax - and you know how much I love sax(ophones). The one thing I didn't care for, though it's not that crucial, is that the ending drags on for a while. It's not necessarily that bad, but I kept on wanting to hear more of those [...]

Sightings City of Straw (2010, Jagjaguwar) RIYL = Mouthus, Skaters, Wolf Eyes Following up Through The Panama , what most will consider as Sightings’ magnum post-noise opus, was never going to be an easy task. The guttural blast of that record still haunts me with its overt, menacing grind. However, in their move to Jagjaguwar, Sightings have created a contentious, noise addled rift in the music landscape that is equal to its predecessor. You might consider City of Straw the Amnesiac in this equation if [...]

On May 25, Jagjaguwar will continue its Midwestern curatorial with the release of Inter-Be , the debut album by the Minneapolis band Peter Wolf Crier . The duo consists of Peter Pisano and Brian Moen. This latest single by PWC -- "Hard As Nails" -- centers on a simple and forlorn guitar line, the song building in urgency until it's finally swallowed by its own fervor. Despite the build-up, the final celebration is more haunted than glorious. It's a tune played in shadows. Listen to Peter Wolf Crier's [...]
