No Echo In This Place

No Echo In This Place Deerhunter - Agoraphobia I live sturdy Pompeii. I lust long at the market. From a distance. Behind buildings. Beneath blanket, skin, and sinew. I squint (and lust long at market). I live within dead room to live sturdy Pompeii. With never response. With never linger. Where each word, each breath and part-me plummets leaden to the floor, a silent tenfold-gravity that amputates my toes. Where all those scattered part-me - word, breath, and every - squint (and lust long). And I, shuffling toeless between [...]

MP3s of some SXSW artists, part four The fourth (count 'em) installment of my SXSW artists feature. If you're new to the game, I list some of the acts I'm excited about, with mp3s and a brief note about each. And on to the action! P-T time. Stay tuned for the grand finale later this week.

Beirut - March of The Zapotec and Realpeople Holland

Beirut - "My Wife" - Music Video
Beirut March of The Zapotec Realpeople Holland (02.2009, Pompeii Records) RIYL: Pinatas or Rainbow Bright I first listened to the new Zach Condon releases without knowing any back story as to why there were two separate EP's released together and sounding so completely different. The first half of the release, Beirut's March of The Zapotec encompasses Condon's glorious world music brass laden half of his personality while Realpeople's, Holland represents his looping electronic side. I enjoyed both, but was slightly confused by the mash [...]

Pompeii :: "Rabbit Ears"

You can see naming a band Pompeii two ways. One: you're naming your band after a town that was buried in ash and largely forgotten for hundreds of years. Didn't anyone miss them? This isn't particularly inspiring. But wait. Two: a band named after something that lived next door to one of the great natural disasters in human history, only instead of being leveled or destroyed - it was perfectly

News: Ponytail record Daytrotter session

News: Ponytail record Daytrotter session Throw out every conception of music you ever had that had to do with pigeonholed genre classification or boundaries of any kind, because when you talk about a group like Ponytail , there's no way to best talk of them. They are enigmas, exceptions to most rules. They are a Baltimore thunderstorm that doesn't quit in a day. It follows you, beating at your heart and mind and soul. Ponytail make you think all sorts of "holy shit"s and "oh my god"s and you begin to see what your whole person feels like when you only react with smiles, [...]

Retrospective: The Best of Austin

Retrospective: The Best of Austin Starting out, I was based in the live music capital of the world, Austin, Texas. There is a band worth checking out every night, from the big names playing Emo's or Stubb's to the locals cutting their teeth at The Parish or Mohawk. Here are some the best that I had to pleasure to notice. Most people know Spoon and Voxtrot . They are the darlings of the Austin indie scene.

Pompeii

Lots of bands aspire to make grandiose, room-filling pop-rock but few succeed because it's too easy to collapse into stereotypes and well-trodden cliches. Pompeii, unlike others, successfully propel its chiming, mid-tempo indie-pop well above the fray. They're a sweet, melodic but melancholy band, unabashedly bittersweet, with their hearts on their sleeves. Often compared to Death Cab for Cutie, Pompeii's work is a lot meatier and darker than that band's comparable early offerings; in the end, comparing these two bands doesn't give the whole sotry.. This sort of arms-wide rock depends on not just sophisticated, shimmering instrumentation [...]
