Mini albums are certainly interesting. The more frequently I use the term, the further I enjoy saying "mini album." Lately albums are becoming more difficult to define, both in size and genre. Late Night Paraphernalia by Old Wives' Tale fits perfectly into that category. Don't be fooled by this sophomore album containing only six songs, this genre bending effort is filled with enough energy to entertain you for a long time. Consisting of Brazilian-born and Miami-bred brothers Felipe & Jaime Valencia, Old Wives' Tale is a music duo worth discovering. Their energetic "amphetamine" sound [...]

Brothers Jaime and Felipe Valencia lead Old Wives' Tale , a dance punk outfit out of Miami. Now based in Los Angeles, Old Wives' Tale has released their second album, Late Night Paraphernilia . At six tracks long, this release rarely takes a foot off the accelerator. Tracks like Josephine , Frenzy and Noise exemplify this approach.They break form with M omma Devil , a blues-infused number that starts off tongue-in-cheek before ripping it up. Bliss and its chill-out, steady groove close the album like last call in one [...]

"The debut album `Ritual` was recorded in Stockholm with Pelle Gunnerfeldt (The Hives, Logh) over the space of two weeks. The likes of 'I'm USA You're Canada', '5 Wheel Drive' and '28-83-7' rise and fall with passionate, bombastic choruses and subtle, measured introspection, sketching out vast sonic patterns intricately weaved with swathes of lush guitar melodies". Instantly engaging Alt-Rock harmonies from Danish band `The River Phoenix`. An untainted and musically precise offering currently entertaining New York City, joining the list of major cities being charmed with a new wave of Scandinavian music. [...]

Old Wives' Tale are from Miami and they're cool and they're proving that my former hometown is slowly developing into a hotbed of kick ass music. It only took 20 or so years, but it's finally happening and that's awesome...it's just too bad I'm 350 miles north and am missing all the fun. Then again, we have the Black Kids here in Jacksonville so it's not all so bad. Anyway, The Valencia brothers formed Old Wives' Tale in 2006 shortly after making the decision to relegate their biology, chemistry, music and audio engineering diplomas [...]

Nathan Oliver: "Icicles For Fingers" Nathan Oliver: "State Lines Pt. 3" I've been sitting on Nathan Oliver's new release Cloud Animals for almost two months now. I've thought about it, I've wanted to listen to it, and I just really haven't. Sometimes these things take some time to percolate. But the Raleigh-based band draws on some of the most positive influences from the Triangle, including members of North Elementary and The Rosebuds. A/nd plus it's out on local label Pox World Empire . [...]
