En otra ocasión les platiqué del proyecto de Luuk Graham, precisamente en un The Log que amablemente nos envió el neerlandés. Con una afición innegable al hip-hop y el glitch, Filosofische Stilte es pura miel para los oídos. Para saber un poco más del jovenazo de apenas 19 años que hace esta música, le mandamos las ya antes presentadas 13 preguntas de Noiselab. ¿Qué tipo [...]

Encontré a FilosofischeStilte en xlr8r, y desde que lo escuché por primera vez, me encantó su música. Lo empecé a seguir en SoundCloud, le puse algún comentario en una de sus canciones, y me contestó y me dijo que estuviera al tanto, que iba a sacar más canciones pronto. Y bueno, básicamente ahora somos amigos. Luuk Graham es el neerlandés detrás de FilosofischeStilte , quien con mucho entusiasmo accedió a seleccionar 19 de sus canciones favoritas para este The Log. No se lo pierdan, el tipo es maravilloso.

Nelly Furtado is aiming to prove that bigger truly is better in her "Big Hoops (Bigger The Better)" video — at least according to Chapter 2 of her three-part behind-the-scenes clips. The first segment had her learning the ropes (or hoops , as it were) with Native American hoop champions in a Los Angeles dance studio. And in her newest reveal, the Canadian songstress goes up on eight-foot stilts for a segment of the upcoming visual. In the clip, Nelly has a back-and-forth with Director X, the who [...]
Aside from a few new sounds, Crystal Stilts really hasn't progressed its sound past In Love With Oblivion . But for fans, that may not necessarily be a bad thing. WATCH THE REVIEW

Radiant Door Dark Eyes ( previously on CWR) Brooklyn's dark rockers, Crystal Stilts , have followed up their much enjoyed 2nd LP, In Love With Oblivion , from earlier this year with a new EP, Radiant Door [...]

Crystal Stilts – Radiant Door EP (Sacred Bones) Mal o segundo álbum saiu da cena dos últimos lançamentos, o Crystal Stilts já coloca mais um belíssimo trabalho nas prateleiras. Trata-se do EP Radiant Door , que mantém o jeito Joy Division de ser, com uma dose exagerada de Velvet Underground e os pés ainda enterrados no shoegaze e no pop sombrio dos anos 60. Tudo começa em Dark Eyes , que destoa um pouco das demais canções do EP por ter uma levada mais alegre e um orgão [...]

"Shock me blue eyes, knock me to the floor," sings Brad Hargett over a chug of acoustic guitar, colossal bursts of organ, and enough reverb to make your closet sound like a cave the size of Madison Square Garden. The song, "Dark Eyes," is the opener on the Crystal Stilts' excellent new 5-song EP Radiant Door , out tomorrow via Sacred Bones. It's an experimental batch of tracks, from the Spaghetti Western guitars on "Still As The Night" to the wandering and lonesome hypnotic twang of "Frost Inside The Asylum," but thanks to topnotch craft and execution, every note [...]

Ahhh, the new Crystal Stilts EP, Radiant Door , is almost here. It has this mid-range space-cowboy feel that shows the band aiming for cleaning skies and dipping their toes in 1960’s psych-rock (Rolling Stones, The Animals). It’s not necessarily a new direction, but it’s certainly a slight detour from this year’s excellent In Love With Oblivion . Radiant Door is available Tuesday, November 15 through Sacred Bones . Stream the entire EP below.

We already heard " Dark Eyes ," a cut from Brooklyn dour rockers Crystal Stilts' new EP, and now Sacred Bones has posted the rest of that release on their Soundcloud page. Stream Radiant Door after the jump. Read More...
The Crystal Stilts ’ sophomore album, In Love with Oblivion , saw its release this past spring, but the Brooklyn-based band is not closing up shop for the year just yet. Call them garage rock, jangle pop, or shoegaze, but whatever it is, there’s no mistaking Brad Hargett’s Ian Curtis-like, reverberating vocals laid over an organ and some tambourine, which lets them showcase a sunnier side. It all remains well within the realm of their sonic space that recalls bands like The Velvet Underground without imitating. Radiant Door should further entice listeners in [...]
Ever since their first EP, Crystal Stilts have mostly been pegged by the music press as purveyors of all things moody and dark, inheritors of the miserablist mantle of Joy Division or Interpol. If that tag ever had any relevance (and perhaps it did at times, say on "Alien Rivers," one of the darker and more atmospheric songs on this year's In Love with Oblivion ) then the first side of this EP should serve as a good indicator that that's by no means all they do. Instead, a couple of the songs on this five-track EP are more [...]
Deerhunter's prolific musical genius, Bradford Cox, has been one of our favorite 'indie' musicians for years. In addition to his work on his mothership, that is Deerhunter, Cox has lots of other music projects and collaborations, including the most popular of them all - his solo work under the moniker Atlas Sound, a project that [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

Fortuna Pop are one of those labels that don’t really make a lot of sense. They force themselves into a sort of nice aesthetic that’s conspicuously uncool and as a result they’ve always had a roster that looked like Sub Pop if it had a thing for tea. Not quite twee enough to be the new Sarah records but without enough weight to punch with the big guns like Rough Trade they’ve kind of just existed because they had to. They exist as a necessity – someone needed to release The Primitives , so why not them? [...]
