Last summer, I was waiting for the bus outside of Amoeba… it was hot… the doors were open and I was vacillating between staying to watch Future Islands or just getting the bus and listening to them at home. I could see Sam Herring from the street, one hand on the mic, the other behind his back, sweaty, red-faced in an all white ensemble. His guttural declarations reaching out to the street as he started singing ‘In The Fall’ a song that, in its recorded version, features Katrina Ford (Celebration)…I got home late that night.
I often hit the back button Future Islands tracks and “The Ink Well” is no different. This 7″ split with N.C. natives Lonnie Walker does not disappoint. Two totally different sound spectrums on an itty-bitty EP.
You guys remember Blue Scholars? ::MΔDE::IN::HEIGHTS:: is the new project from Sabzi and vocalist Kelsey Bulkin and it is the beats. Like JJ and CocoRosie made a baby in the heights. The EP is free get this yesterday.
We covered Julianna Barwick on This Just Out when she released Florine back in 2009. Now the Brooklyn based loopers The Magic Place was recently called out on P4K’s best new music! I’m not sayin’ - just sayin’ … Run a bath, light some candles…
Lady Lamb The Beekeeper is the stage name of musician Aly Spaltro, who was named Folk Artist of the Year by the Boston Music Awards in 2010. This is a collection of previously unreleased, rare, bedroom, and radio tracks that you can own for ten clams.
This week STRFKR began streaming Reptilians on Soundcloud to make up for a delay in the vinyl production. I’m not mad about it. At all.
That’s all for now…
