Houses | A Quiet Darkness Words by Katie Malcolmson Indie has been saturated with bedroom electronica projects ever since it became glaringly obvious that anybody with an ounce of common sense (not necessarily musicality) and a Mac with Garage Band could knock out a half decent beat and plonk some kind of vague melody on top of it. Upload yr sick tracks to Soundcloud, ask yr friendz to share it on Facebook; “Listen! Like! Share!” and VOILA – you have a bedroom electronica project. Duo Dexter Tortoriello and [...]
The day is cloudy and has a bit of a chill, a long sleeve shirt sort of day. Everything is really still and quiet. I like a day this way. Sun all the time makes for a dry lawn and garden while clouds all the time make for gloom so I'm happy with a mix of days. Yesterday was a perfectly lovely day so I don't mind today's clouds. A chickadee is building a nest in one of my bird houses or at least I think so as I have seen her going in and out of the [...]
Rap group Young Fathers is finally back with some new tunes after their great mixtape, Tape One . On "The Guide" they are bringing their mysterious flair and unique style to a brilliant new level. They use a entrancing beat that just circles around in your head forever, or so it feels. What they do to further this effect is with the first MC using whisper quiet vocals that just adds this atmosphere in a hip-hop song that I've never felt before. It is unbelievable how much shifting the tone of your voice down can effect the mood of a [...]
Words by Sammy Maine Chicago-based band Houses have released this gorgeous video for ' Beginnings ' - a track that will feature on their forthcoming third album A Quiet Darkness . The track opens in a melancholy, Micah P. Hinson fashion, before building up into a crescendo of beautifully structured harmonies that will make this track an instant indie anthem. Showcasing a free-spirited female as the basis of the video, it's enjoyably easy to lose yourself in this track and you can do just that below. A [...]
![Flying Lotus – “Until The Quiet Comes” (Almighty Sion Edit) [Potholes Premiere]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4772787_lg.jpg)
Almighty Sion is probably a new name to you, but we are certainly familiar with these two artists that joined together to create this dynamic duo. They are SertOne and Bolts , the latter of which is actually signed to Potholes Music, too. As an introduction to our readers, we are proud to premiere their new edit of Flying Lotus' "Until The Quiet Comes". A tough pick to take on indeed, but we feel these two beatsmiths handled the task with honor and ease, as they chopped up Badu's vocals from "See Thru To U" and spun together an [...]
Today is socks and sweatshirt weather. It rained again last night into this morning, and the day is bone chillingly damp. I had a library board meeting this morning, and I turned on the heat in the car: the first time this fall. We've had days and days of dark skies and periodic rain. The temperature has dropped to the 502s during the day and the 402s at night. I figure this is a shoulder season: the time between the beauty of autumn and the cold of early winter. The blanket was welcome warmth on my bed last [...]

Trois titres de l'album tant attendu sont présents : See Thru to U (feat. Erykah Badu) Hunger (feat. Niki Randa) Getting There (feat. Niki Randa) De ces 4 minutes de « clip » on retiendra que notre [...]
More great music from Brookyln. This time, however, it's of the shoe gaze, psychedelic variety as Quiet Loudly come with their second release ' Go Into The Light Smiling '. The first thing that strikes you about this record, or at least it did me, was how lyrically honest it is. For instance, on ' Be my Baby (Mama) ' a jangling guitar and keys led track with earlier Cold War Kids stylings to it, Max Goransson (Vocals/Guitar) sings of how he wishes for parenthood; "all I want to [...]

This morning was warm, sunny and quiet when I left for breakfast. When I got home, my yardmen were just finishing clearing the pine needles from the front lawn and the oak leaves from the deck and driveway. I could see grass and pavement for the first time in a long while; however, soon after the men left, the wind started again, and the pine needled have begun reclaiming the lawn. Now the clouds have rolled in and the sun has disappeared. The day is much like yesterday, drab. While I was talking to my sister, I watched [...]
Way back in the early to late 90s, some things never changed. I, on the other hand, changed plenty. Thats right, my voice changed, my clothes changed... yes, my clothes. Why you ask? Well, I too like many before me and since then dramatically changed the music I listened-to... almost on a year to year basis. So its because of this nostalgia that I thought I'd showcase a few of my favorite songs from each year of high school. I may be blocking out nearly everything else that happened back then, but the music will always have a special place [...]
So before I dive into this band I thought I should introduce myself. My name is Rigel and i’m from Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. Music is my passion. When i’m not doing the music thing im a full time Web Designer and Developer. Enough about me and onto the music. Picking my first band was going to be the hardest and I knew. If I didn’t pick something great it would be a bad start. I decided to go local. We Are The City are an awesome 3 piece band from Kelowna. They are like none other. [...]
A couple of months ago we spoke to Tom from Her Name Is Calla to ask him about his bands upcoming album, The Quiet Lamb . He described the record to us as "...very dense, with layer upon layer of secrets to find", and for the past few weeks I've found it hard to describe the album in any other way. I've tried - and failed - on numerous occassions to review The Quiet Lamb but I genuinely couldn't find a way to describe the sheer [...]
Brilliant Leeds-based post-rockers Her Name Is Calla return next month with new album The Quiet Lamb . The recording of the album has proved a long, sometimes difficult, journey for the band but it's a journey that was worth taking. The Quiet Lamb is a staggering piece of work which proves the band to be one of the most complex and interesting in the country. GoldFlakePaint caught up with front-man Tom to ask him all about the new record... [...]
Wanda Psychs Wanda Psychs - Quiet ( mp3 )
Sweden's water must have some magic pop potency, as yet again we're fishing out another great up-and-coming burning talent in the form of singer/songwriter/chanteuse Non Tiq and, as the project is literally a year old, we think we're striking while the proverbial iron is hot. Really, really hot. Like, get your flame-retardant gloves and masks [...]
World Atlas - Girl on a Boys' Bike World Atlas 's self-titled EP sounds like it is a lost Belle & Sebastian EP from the Jeepster years that has finally been released in the States after years of being a highly sought rarity. In fact, it sounds so much like Belle & Sebastian that it is a little unnerving. World Atlas is like a cover band that decided to step it up a little. Listening to the EP I feel a [...]
Nora, is a 22-year old singer from my hometown of Stockholm, Sweden. She and her brother made the jump from making sweet folkpop to a more electronic sound last year which led to them being chosen as “Artist Of The Month” by P3Lab, the Swedish National Radio show. Nora was recently signed by Playground Music so expect more from this artist in the near future. DWNLD NOTE: Right Click!
To be true, as of late, things, have been, quiet. On the blog. A lot of rambling. Buckets of sludge. Dished out from my marsh. Struggles. Wading. Writing. Blog wise. Quiet. Life wise. Quite. Literally. Quiet. Having moved into my new apartment over the weekend, I was greeted by something strange. A chasm of silence. [...]
