The band's new LP, entitled Misunderstanding Human Behavior , is due via Hawthorne Street at the end of February. Check out "Pale as Man" streamable below. The band will celebrate [...]
Here are my obtuse meanderings vis-a-vis the best records of the year. Please forgive my inanity. 11. Let's Wrestle – Nursing Home Nouveau '90s rock was to 2011 what dance punk revivalism was to 2001. And of all the bands channeling classic slackercore this year, Let's Wrestle did it the best. 10. Russian Circles – Empros I'll be honest, I'm not a huge fan of instrumental rock — particularly metal. After all, it usually involves more noodling than a Pauls [...]

We're only mere weeks away from the official start of winter, so don't forget to party while you still can. We're talking about some great shows including The Cell Phone s at The Hideout, Russian Circles at Lincoln Hall and Missing Monuments at the Empty Bottle. Let's rock and roll, hoochie koo . FRIDAY THE CELL PHONES It's hard to believe that the [...]

It's pissing down rain outside the Earl, and Young Widows is an hour late for sound check. The band was scuttled not only by the weather, but the general parking lot quality of Atlanta traffic in the evening, and a borrowed trailer described as "gargantuan" in a snowy cell phone conversation. It would be understandable if Evan Patterson were in a bad mood when he hit the venue. Nothing could be further from the truth. He shows up wearing an Indiana Jones fedora. Patterson then waves off the sound engineer with an action hero-y gesture, saying there's no time for [...]

Adam and Baxter of MIRACLES sent us these answers to our questions in this next installment of the q and also a series. q: What is the last song you (really) heard? a: Antimagic 's "Shake Shake Shake" has been in heavy rotation all year. I rediscovered De La Soul 's Stakes is High last week after not listening to it for a few years. It still rules. b: For me, it's a tie between Young Widows ' "Old [...]

There's nothing more beautiful than a Friday afternoon. It doesn't matter that the temperature fluctuates so wildly that we can longer dress ourselves effectively or that it will probably rain. It's Friday. And that's enough. As you can tell by the show poster above, we're excited about the Best Emerging Artists Showcase lovingly put together by Betta Promotions and Deli Chicago. But that's not the only hot spot this weekend. We're also talking about Young Widows at Beat Kitchen and Dozens at the Empty Bottle . Let's get to it... [...]

Nat Baldwin FRIDAY, MAY 6 Right now, it's cool for bands to dabble in basketball, but Nat Baldwin doesn't dabble in it. He turned down a basketball scholarship to study music, and his last record, Most Valuable Player , featured a picture of his MVP trophy from a junior-high-school basketball tournament. Baldwin is most well-known as the bassist for The Dirty Projectors, but he's been putting [...]

Oh, how they've come a long way. Formed in 2006, Young Widows originally drew favorable comparisons to the 90s heyday of cacophonous noise-rock. Five years and three albums later

Primo disco brutto del 2011? "In and out of youth and lightness" degli Young Widows . Un colpo al cuore per me che amo alla follia il precedente "Young Wounds", ora me li ritrovo spompati, senza botta, più riflessivi (che può anche andar bene) e oscuri ma senza sostanza. Tanto tanto basso pulsante, atmosfere più new wave che noise rock (ma la wave dei Gang of Four eh!), chitarre al vetriolo sotto pelle e una buona batteria. E le canzoni a spasso. Non ci siamo, peccato. Un ascolto a scrocco [...]

Young Widows - Future Heart Young Widows - In And Out Of Lightness Noise-rock trio Young Widows might be a little bit difficult to swallow for anyone who's accustomed to the usual Liquid Jesus fare - especially with all the hypnotic, meandering build-ups and immense atmospherics strewn throughout the entirety of In And Out Of Youth And Lightness (and that's exactly why we're diggin' it) - but the haunting heaviness of the new album hits all of our sweet [...]
