Having just returned from an East Asian tour that took Wesley Eisold and his band Cold Cave through Japan, Korea, China, Thailand, and of all places Nepal, Eisold offers up another one-off single with sweet & dour "Black Boots". The Casio drum track and the, ahem, cavernous vocal echo are a nice homage to the Joy Division sound, and the bare-bones track does enough to carry Eisold's anxious croons about bodies, death, sex, and agoraphobia. Listen to the art-rock, dark-wave single below: [...]

May has been an exceptionally great month for live music around Milwaukee, and on May 19th the walls of Turner Hall were rattled by the English band Foals. The Los Angeles group Blondfire took the stage promptly at 8 pm, and performed tracks from their debut EP, Where the Kids Are to near perfection. The crowd was a little lackluster, assumedly due to unfamiliarity with the material. But allow me to tell you the band was a great fit for the bill, which went from dream pop to surfer punk to brit alt by the [...]
Austra and Ital are both feel-good stories about the nice things that can happen when punks pick up computers. Austra's frontwoman Katie Stelmanis was a shining light of Toronto's art-punk scene for years before she put together her icy electro-goth group, and Daniel Martin-McCormick spent time in the great percussive skree bands Black Eyes and Mi Ami before he began making stripped-back, conceptual dance music as Ital. And now Ital has put together an itchy, skeletal eight-minute remix of " Home ," the throbbing first single from Austra's new album Olympia . Below, listen to that remix, as well [...]
