The Nocturnes' gorgeous hybrid of folk and dream-pop is the stuff of slow-motion dreams and translucent hallucinations. The L.A. quartet is the brainchild of Red Sparowes guitarist Emma Ruth Rundle, who along with RS bandmate Dave Clifford on drums, guitarist Julian Rifkin and multi-instrumentalist Paris Patt, fashions dirgey anthems out of echoing guitars and choral harmonies — think Red House Painters behind Beach House. Their new album "Aokigahara" is the first with the current lineup; 20092s "A Year of Spring" was largely a collaboration between Rundle and drummer Daniel Yasmin. "Aokigahara" is not necessarily for the nocturnal, but it's [...]

Win tickets here ! They speak to us from deep [...]

20. Coliseum - House With a Curse I've always admired the tenacity and purity of Coliseum's thunderous breakneck hardcore, but I've never been sold on its lasting impact. The effects were always brutally immediate; once the band's blistering locomotive rage barreled through your speakers, there was never much left to remember it by. House With a Curse doesn't stray too far from the group's core aesthetic—it's still loud, raw and fierce as fuck—but it embraces the once subtle sludgy stoner rock qualities of the band's music and pushes them further to the forefront. [...]
So, normally I don't look at other lists of people's favorite records because I don't want to be influenced, but inevitably I glance at some afterward and notice that I left shit off my list. Oh well. Ian told me about that Agalloch album, Marrow Of The Spirit and I thought it was good. The great, high-energy Milwaukee band Call Me Lightning put out a really good album this year too, When I Am Gone My Blood Will Be Free . Red Sparowes' The Fear Is Excruciating, But Therein Lies The Answer , Neil Young's [...]
Πέμπτη 4 Νοε Gagarin 205 Και πού ξέρεις, μέσα στα post alternative νεφελώματα του Giving Birth to Imagined Saviors , ίσως μπορέσεις να αποφασίσεις (με μια και μόνη ψήφο) με ποιους να πας, ποιους να αφήσεις , ποιους ανάξιους να αψηφήσεις...
I had planned to attend Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert's Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear on Saturday in Washington but life got in the way (better plans came up) and I didn't make it down there, but I taped the event on Comedy Central and watched some of it (skipping all the musical acts I didn't like), including the closing speech by Jon in which he made an impassioned plea to reject the fearmongering of politics and 24-hour cable news and instead embrace the ability of Americans from all walks of life to work together, every day, [...]
A cheap Kmart guitar with its guts ripped out, a two-piece drum kit and a keyboard with a mind of its own would all be alone if they weren't all thrown in the mess that PARLOVR got them in when they stumbled together in the wintry months of 2006. Reacting against the multi-instrumental, many-membered orchestral bands that crowded the local Montreal scene at the time, PARLOVR was started with the intention of blowing amps and streamlining pop melodies, bringing back the power-trio of the 90s with an off-the-wall twist. PARLOVR's self-titled debut LP (Independent, [...]
The name "Liberia" denotes liberty. The history of this country is unique among African nations because of its relationship with the United States. It is one of only two countries in Africa, along with Ethiopia, without roots in the European Scramble for Africa. It was founded and colonized by freed American slaves with the help [...]

From the album The Fear Is Excruciating, But Therein Lies The Answer Thunderheads storming across the prairie, outraged students taking to the streets, migratory herds stampeding along the tundra-any number of images could describe the grandiose scope of Red Sparowes' lush vignettes. Wielding both a master's sense of nuance and an outsider artist's unhindered expressionist zeal, the Los Angeles quintet created a catalog of haunting and hallucinatory guitar orchestrations over the course of the millennium's opening decade. With two albums, a string of split releases, multiple U.S. and European tours, and a number [...]
If you like your music epic and sans words, look no further than Los Angeles-based heavies, Red Sparowes . Their newest release, The Fear Is Excruciating, But Therein Lies The Answer , should set the tongues of fans of Pelican, Mono and Explosions In the Sky a'waggin'. Meanwhile, their mind-blowing live shows have been winning them converts in all corners of the globe, including members of Boris who have invited the Sparowes to tag along on their swing through the Western United States this [...]
Los Angeles quintet Red Sparowes has announced North American tour dates with Japanese band Boris in August, followed by European and UK shows this fall. The band is currently supporting its third full-length album, The Fear Is Excruciating, But Therein Lies The Answer . Listen to "Giving Birth To Imagined Saviors," an appropriate title for our current age of imagined saviors and politicized prizes. Don't let the sheep get you down with their repetitions. Dates after more. dates: 08/16 Denver, CO @ Marquis Theatre [...]
Amazon has been running this deal for a little while now where they pick 100 albums to offer on Amazon MP3 for $5 each month. And usually they have some damn solid selections, but this month they have dropped some huge ones on us from the first half of 2010 with the NPR listeners' top album of the year so far Gorillaz' Plastic Beach and one of my personal favorites, James Mercer and Danger Mouse as Broken Bells' self-titled album Broken Bells . There are [...]
