The marvelous Breton have announced details of a brand new EP, Escalation , to be released at the end of the month. The instrumental record is accompanied by a photography book that showcases the work of some of the visual artists that the band have worked with so far. The book and EP are self-released and will run alongside their Escalation Exhibition at Proud Galleries in Camden (March 28th to 31st). An instrumental EP seems like a perfect fit for a band who have always excelled with thoroughly involving and intricate backing [...]
I signed up, via food train, to cook for one of my co-workers this week. She desperately needs a kidney transplant (she has a donor, just waiting for some other medical issues to clear up before she can go forward with it) and spend a lot of time running back and forth to dialysis three times a week. I planned on making her a creamy orzo that comes right from a site that specializes in meals for people dealing with kidney issues. Before I could break out my best direction following her sister came to town and relieved me of [...]
Normandy pop ensemble Concrete Knives have come out with their new single 'Truth'. Shouty vocals compliment the rolling riffs, as this is playful cynicism at its finest. This is taken from their upcoming debut album Be Your Own King due out February 18th on Bella Union. The band will also be heading to the UK for some dates in March: Mar 01 KOKO London Mar 02 Four Bars [...]
I have zero idea if these bread knives cut as well as a standard bread knife, but I love how the serration of the blade is cut to resemble a ridgeline in the Alps. The famous peaks include the Zurich Panorama, the Lake of Constance Panorama, and the Berner Alps Panorama. You can buy one from Panorama Knife for $76 . [via coolmaterial ]

Les Concrete Knives ont publié en novembre dernier leur premier album Be your own king . Comme cela se fit pour leurs compatriotes régionaux de Gablé (signés jusqu'à présent chez Loaf Recordings *) avant eux, c'est un label anglais ( Bella Union ) qui les produit. C'est assez prestigieux, notamment quand le label en question est tenu par un ex Cocteau Twins et qu'on devient ainsi collègue des Flaming Lips. Le groupe a enregistré quasiment seul ce disque (ils l'expliquent dans cette [...]
Jesus Christ! This single from the recent solo LP from Shield Your Eyes man Stef Ketteringham - aka Guns Or Knives - is out of this world! Whiteboy acoustic blues where more notes are missed than hit but it’s unbelievably evocative and visual, whatever story he’s telling is the story I’m living for the song’s duration. Each desperate yelp is powerfully unique, he uses imperfection as an instrument…an instrument of mass seduction. To some people it may well sound like two cats fighting in a paper bag but for me [...]
Chocolate Puma have been around the block and then some but the duo don't receive nearly enough credit. This year alone they're released two bombs - " Gimme Sum " and " Just One More Time Baby " - and their old collaboration with the Bingo Players ("Disco Electrique") is one of my favorite songs of all time. Chocolate Puma is back with another major tune, this time a hardcore bootleg of "Playing With Knives." The build is funky, the bassline is groovy, and the drop is absolutely filthy. Although they produced the track four years ago, they're just [...]
Hier, vendredi 26 octobre, les Concrete Knives = (de gauche à droite autour de la table) Morgane, Nicolas, Adrien, Augustin (qui a snobé mon appareil tout du long) et Guillaume... ont envahi les studios du triple 6 afin de discuter le bout de gras (absent de leur album Be your own king ) et d'y jouer trois morceaux... L'intégralité de l'entrevue et de la session sera écoutable demain dimanche à 17h sur la radio 666 ... On y causera [...]
One might have believed a New Year’s Eve celebration was happening, what with all the balloons, confetti, and streams of toilet paper showering over the dancing, glow necklace-wearing masses. But no, it was just a Thursday night at OC’s The Observatory as it played host to mash-up artist Girl Talk (aka Gregg Michael Gillis). Real female power started the evening festivities. First up was Nashville-based Five Knives, fronted by the sassy Anna Worstell. The band aggressively combined rock and electronic beats, proving that a southern twang shouldn’t automatically be assumed from Tennessee musicians. Next on [...]
Concrete Knives are one of the most talked about bands on the French circuit at the minute. Thanks to their high energy live shows, catchy melodies and stirring rhythms, the Caen natives have built a solid reputation for outstanding performances full of youthful excitement, chanting vocals and riotous receptions. It's this reputation that led the band to the door of Bella Union, who recently welcomed the five piece to their roster with open arms. Currently readying their debut album, we chat to band vocalist Morgane Colas about the origins and finer details of Concrete Knives, [...]

With Knives , featuring Damned Things members Joe Trohman ( Fall Out Boy ) and Josh Newton ( Every Time I Die ) have announced a tour of the east coast and midwest in support of their self-released record, Schadenfreude .
Knives by Tiny Manatee Local self-described "garagegaze" duo Tiny Manatee have dropped their debut EP, Frusen Glädjé , and while it's a little more gaze than garage, it's hard to believe such a riffy racket could come from a two-piece. Comprised of former Powers and current Sequoia rocker Cully Johnston and drummer slash Bite Cafe pastry chef Maggie Laleman, Tiny Manatee take their sonic approach from jagged alt-rock and beastly guitar shoegaze ala My Bloody Valentine. One track we particular dig on [...]
by Bill Pearis Concrete Knives The first night of M for Montreal was a light one. Especially after Duchess Says had to cancel, due to singer Annie-Claude cracking a rib last week after a particularly spirited performance at the record release party for the band's new album In a Fung Day T . (And anyone who's seen Duchess Says knows she's already pretty damn spirited.) Get well soon [...]
So here we are, caught up in an epileptic epiphany lighting up James Brown’s drug-addled brain as he dances around the burning wreckage of his automobile like a Balinese finger puppet lucubrated by a Dionysian necromancer, police sirens Doppler-effecting closer and closer. And what does this epiphany concern, you ask? It concerns the realisation that we spin at great speed through the black nothing, and that a never-ending rhythm keeps it all together, and that’s the rhythm of funk, the furious gospel of a vitalistic religion we are all born into, under punches, we fight back. [...]

![Born Gold – ”Lawn Knives” [Video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3846699_lg.jpg)
In the wake of releasing a roller coaster of an album that Bodysongs , frontman Cecil Frena and the boys of Born Gold have released their newest music video for "Lawn Knives" off of the hyper-pop outfit's debut LP . The Alex Fisher and Ellis Bahl -directed video follows the same chopped-up and fast-paced momentum that can be heard in "Lawn Knives," and in the rest of Bodysongs for that matter. For those of you who have yet to experience one of the most [...]
Part two in the Made By Hand series . I just discovered this video after a half-dozen of my favorite websites linked to it. "Writer turned knife maker Joel Bukiewicz of Cut Brooklyn talks about the human element of craft, and the potential for a skill to mature into an art. And in sharing his story, he alights on the real meaning of handmade—a movement whose riches are measured in people, not cash." I didn't realize that I've already posted the first video, which was about the gin distillery [...]
"Lawn Knives" is found on Born Gold's new album, BodySongs , bound to please some ears. http://borngold.us/ http://www.facebook.com/borngo ldofficial
