Silk Flowers - Band Of Color Silk Flowers - A Brush Through The Dust
If you've been even remotely regular in following this blog, our number one shouldn't come as a surprise - I believe I've already bothered you enough with my love of Gang Gang Dance's latest effort (and GGD in general ). I'll leave the list unnumbered because, except for the first 7-8 entries, the rest come in kind of (but not entirely) particular order. And it's not a strictly albums -of-the-year list, as I've included some mixtapes/remix albums/ compilations. Also, I just realised we haven't covered half of this on the blog… Don't [...]

Bad news! According to Impose , New York trio Silk Flowers decided to call it quits. They have just released a new EP called Days of Arrest , available from Captured Tracks , and their fine second full-length was released earlier this year via PPM . Check out the bands' NC guest mix feature (or just stream the mix right here ). Here's an interestingly named new song: This Stays
We're sad to say that Silk Flowers is no longer an active band, and that their last show passed earlier in the summer opening for Ariel Pink. The trio, who made woozy synth ballads fueled by samples and beats and noise abstractions, were a good year or two ahead of the large wave of projects that used similar tools to tell less strange and lovely sonic stories. It's sad to see them go, but they're leaving us with one more four track EP entitled Days of Arrest, of which we're plea...

K-Holes on a boat in 2010 ( more by Keith Marlowe ) Brooklyn venue Union Pool is bringing back their free 'Summer Thunder' IN 2011. The series consists of free shows in Union Pool's backyard with the El Diablo taco truck and new backyard bongo bar. All shows start at 4 PM. This lineup of this year's series is not fully announced yet, but so far features performances by K-Holes , Silk Flowers , Warm Ghost and many [...]
Anyone who is an avid sports fan is a secret math nerd at heart. Every sport is filled with more stats than any human needs to know, often times made up just to fit the criteria at hand (Albert Pujols has the most home runs on the 13th day of any month in MLB history*). Algorithms and pie charts are usually involved, and to this day no human can explain the BCS Bowl system, which needs a computer to calculate the results. And that's why we need people like Silk Flowers' Ethan Swan to do ...

Acteurs émergents de la scène de Brooklyn, Silk Flowers exposent une personnalité suffisamment tordue et loufoque dans leur art-pop granuleuse pour qu'on se penche sur eux. Leur premier album, le claustrophobe et naïf Silk Flowers en 2008, sonnait assez lo-fi pour echapper à une catégorisation cold-wave un peu réductrice. Probablement pas insensible au printemps de la chillwave, le groupe a depuis le temps décidé d'élargir sa palette chromatique et d'aérer le mix, tout en adoptant des accents indie-pop qui leurs vont bien, et ce tout en restant assez fidèles à [...]
Silk Flowers @ The Echo Silk Flowers At the Echo (Part Time Punks) Getting to The Echo a bit late I had missed the opening band (Frank Alpine), but hearing from a few friends that were there it sounds like I missed a set of vampires and performance art. Crazy. Dark wave favorites, SILK FLOWERS ’ set started around 12:15 am, but with the time change it didn’t feel that late at all, and it was fitting for the witching hour. I didn’t know [...]
[RSS Readers: See post to listen to audio] The summer jams hit us early this year, not my top choice yet I can't deny the pop hooks and a history of loving a handful of their songs.

The 20jazzfunkgreats Intelligence Unit has been parsing some historical trends in the accumulation of inhuman capital in the American population between 1950 and 2010 using US Census data. We witness peaks in the number of enrolments in witchcraft colleges during the 1970s, probably associated to the high levels of experimentation with psychedelic drugs, the embrace of paganism amongst younger demographics, and the renaissance of American horror cinema. The net numbers aren’t so striking due to the high suicide rates amongst the cohort enrolling in dark arts courses. Although the sad fate of many a sorcery apprentice may explain [...]

Obscure SoundThe subdued form of electronic-pop that NYC-based Silk Flowers pursue is a glittery cross between industrial ambience and chillwave. Behind their simplistic leads of bass-synth and keyboards, the trio presents interesting pieces of percussive-laden samples that range in feel from chaos to Shangri-la. More often than not, the song’s backgrounds mimic the sounds of a [...]

Mar 3, 2011, 2:30pm The FADER
The FADERIf you're familiar with Silk Flowers then you know they can get kinda baroque, which is cool because moping and dancing don't necessarily have to be mutually exclusive. Their track "Thin Air," however, is not as heavy as we'd normally expect from them. In fact, it's pretty upbeat. Maybe that's why they enlisted Grouper to [...]
