After years of toiling in hardcore obscurity, definitive Bay Area " power violence " band Ceremony is on the cusp of international recognition and (relative) mainstream success. From their smashing debut—the appropriately titled Violence Violence , 13 songs in 13 minutes—through 2010s redefining Rohnert Park LP , Ceremony has been recognized for their decidedly artful approach to lo-fi brutality. Over the past 8 years, Ceremony have jumped from label to label, releasing 2 LPs and 4 EPs in the process. Now, after signing to indie powerhouse Matador , [...]

Anais Mitchell's 2010 effort, Hadestown , was nothing if not ambitious. While concept records still exist in today's musical climate, few of them come from the realm of folk rock, and even fewer would have the audacity to refer to themselves as a "folk-opera", but such was Mitchell's endeavor. Birthed first as a stage show in her home state of Vermont, Hadestown tells the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, but set in a post-apocalyptic depression era America. If the concept itself wasn't ambitious enough, Mitchell was able to draw some high powered individuals to portray the roles for that [...]

The Golden Awesome - Astronomy by AwesomeFeelingFive I'm not a fan of the craziness that goes on around CMJ as that seems to be the one week out of the year where the clubs are jam-packed full of drunks and photographers. I've skipped the Festival the last couple years but broke down this year as I wanted to see New Zealand shoe-gazers The Golden Awesome. Le Poisson Rouge hosted a New Zealand @ CMJ party on the [...]
