You'd think that with their admirable success over the past three years, Brass Bed would be just a little complacent with themselves. However, even after having had the pleasure of sharing the stage with the likes of indie big wigs The Walkmen and releasing last year's shimmering chamber pop epic, Melt White , the on-stage demeanor of this notoriously restless and hard-working Lafayette-based indie pop band beams with such a transience that it's almost impossible to anticipate just how phonically brilliant Brass Bed will be on any given night. Admittedly, nothing about [...]
From the end of 2008 until just a few months ago, many arguments about the best band in New Orleans' burgeoning indie rock movement came to one surprisingly consistent conclusion, surprising only given how nebulous and pedantic any such discussion tends to be. With their baroque space rock - equal parts majestic instrumentation, soaring vocal harmonies, and nimble tempo shifts - Giant Cloud was the most dependably impressive group of musicians the city had to offer. But just as they were primed to release the highly-anticipated Bloom & Decay, their full-length follow up to 20102s [...]
![[mp3] Carter Tanton – "Murderous Joy"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3636924_lg.jpg)
mp3: Carter Tanton - "Murderous Joy" I lost Carter Tanton for awhile. I got ahold of his first album when I lived in a god-forsaken place called New Orleans. It was some self-titled album that was probably the first disc ever released by Park The Van Records. Me and Carter have gone through a lot since then, albeit not together. He's been in Tulsa & Lower Dens since then, I've just moved around a lot. Anyway, I just reconnected with his name and this track, "Murderous Joy" which is basically what I remember [...]

New Orleans indie-pop sensation Generationals just launched a remix competition for two of the standout tracks from their sophomore Park The Van LP, Actor-Caster. The guidelines are simple: download the stems of either "Greenleaf" or "Ten-Twenty-Ten" (or both, if you're feel extra ambitious) and create a remix using the software of your choice. Submit ...
Hosannas, Gardens & Villa, and Generationals had us giddy with excitement at the hippest house party to ever hit Davis, California.
Generationals are performing at Tipitina's on June 25, 2011 06.23: Rotary Downs - Ogden Museum of Southern Art 06.24: Gravity A + Earfunk - Hookah 06.25: Generationals + Giant Cloud + Empress Hotel + Au Ras Au Ras - Tipitina's Even if you haven't spent hours devouring their 2009 debut Con Law , their follow-up EP, Trust , or their latest full-length offering Actor-Castor , there is a good chance [...]
Actor-Caster by Generationals is a whole lotta britpop with powerful riffs for anyone looking for something a bit deeper than your average indie album.
Actor-Caster is a collection of pop confections of the highest sugary order: honey-dripped melodies, choruses that crave to be sung out open windows, and foot-tapping rhythms all colored with a timeless and genre-spanning palette of tones and influences. From their 2009 debut Con Law to 2010's Trust EP and now Actor-Caster , New Orleans' Generationals have maintained an astonishingly consistent and high level of creativity. 26 songs into their young careers and the songwriting core of Grant Widmer and Ted Joyner have yet to make one false move. Instead, the duo have demonstrated a [...]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars On their 2009 album, Con Law , the duo known as Generationals sort of left their mark by being all over the place, touching on various genres of modern indie pop. For their second album, Actor Caster , the band sounds a lot more confident, clearly having spent loads of time developing their sound into a cohesive gem of an album, ready for mass consumption by anyone and everyone. Kicking off the party with "Ten [...]
Ten-Twenty-Ten by Generationals from Jubadaba on Vimeo . Was in New Orleans this past week and while I was roaming Magazine St. in their own hometown, Generationals sent the world the new vid & mp3 of "Ten-Twenty-Ten." Good goodness off their upcoming release, Actor-Caster on Park The Van. What what yes. More Generationals on Deckfight< /a>.
Ther are few things over at Everybody Taste that we love more than New Orleans' Generationals. Here's the opening track, "Ten-Twenty-Ten," off the band's forthcoming LP Actor-Caster . The album is due out March 29th on the consistently great Park The Van . Now do yourself a favor and bounce along to this fine pop gem.

Floating Action - Please Reveal - Park The Van Records by Low Life Inc North Carolina's Floating Action skids between lofi, gospel and folk, on "Please Reveal" there's a distant 60s flow to it, the voice of Seth Kauffman steady, steady as it goes and a very REAL presence to make the whole thing pop. Good song, I bet live it surely comes alive. The new Floating Action is Desert Etiquette and it comes out next week from the always-great Park The Van . [...]

It's time for Generationals to re-emerge as the pop-rock duo we feel in love with back during thier first record. This past year the Trust EP made its way out, but now word is that Park the Van will be releasing the group's newest effort on March 29, titled Actor-Caster . This new single is just as full of pop hooks as the music we've come to expect from the group. I mean, who doesn't love a track [...]
This is a new video by Andrew Stubbs for Generationals ' Carrying the Torch . This track is off their Trust EP, which was released back in November on Park The Van . These guys are set to release their sophomore album Actor-Caster March 29 on said label; and we can expect it to be both sun-drenched and shady, as Ted Joyner and Grant Widmer were highly influenced by DC's "unforgiving" hot summer months, as well as the more contrasting alternative of seeking refuge in a more light-locked basement.

Things I hate: Fair weather fans Less than 4 hours of sleep and bad art Things I love: The Falcons losing in the playoffs The idea of robots doing my work for me and Old School Tuesdays Now you probably hate the lack of posts I've been doing. I know what you are saying: "Hey, where has Static been? Those guys use to make a new show every other week and they would post stuff to this blog like 3 times a week" Well you are totally right.
