princess pangolin ist die kopfgeburt von julie carpenter, und wie sie ihre musik selbst formuliert, liest sich so: " the voices in my head, only with more reverb ". dabei sorgen für das drumherum weniger die effekte als ein paar präzis gesetzte instrumente, wie akustische, viola, violine, perkussives. sie rauben dem song aber nicht das karge, selbst sinfonisch anmutende arrangements bilden lediglich die lauffläche für ein lustvolles tänzeln der dame aus l.a., die schon nach gesetzterem alter aussieht (aus meiner perspektive darf man so etwas schreiben) und mit ihrem selbstbetitelten 9tracker doch erst ihr debut vorlegt. dies erschien im november des ...

The time between now and the turning of the year is the season of visits. In a good year, every weekend is carefully divided between shopping expeditions and social obligations. Either someone has asked you over, or you have asked them. There are many opportunities to catch up with seldom seen family and old friends, but there are also new people to meet. This post is a musical version of this activity. One Alternative : Consider the Source [ purchase ] Sometimes, you get invited to a friend’s house, and there is someone you haven’t seen in years, someone you lost ...

How’d you come up with the name Pile? The band started just as a solo thing and none of the songs were really congruent with each other so they just seemed like a pile of songs. It also lent itself to being referenced as a pile of shit, which tickled me.

I guess it's not THAT odd for quality Hip-Hip to come out of a country that's famous for it's marijuana, but still... I think we can all agree that, when you're talking about the hotbeds of Hip-Hop in this world, the first place that comes to anyone's mind is, of course, The Netherlands. What? Oh, did I say Hip-Hop? I meant pointy wooden shoes. And tourists fucked up on mushrooms falling into assorted bodies of water and drowning. Right. But Dutch Hip-Hop? Well, there is Nicolay , and he's rapidly becoming my favorite producer. For ...

Twist Again is thirteen tracks journeying from the delicate and closely feathered to the crescendo driven, near religiously anthemic that leaves you wondering, why are they not more popular?

Bodies of Water literally started in a closet. The core duo of David and Meredith Metcalf started recording songs just shortly after being married and living in a very small house where the closet was the only place they could keep their computer. They've come a long way since then with this third album release. Sure, their band has changed a little with their rotating circle of friends, but they now have their own home recording studio, they started their own label, Thousand Tongues, and even
