Apparently Bern-born, these psychedelic Swiss know a thing or two about keeping it fresh. I haven’t found a single song [...]

A few months ago, in some office somewhere in the middle of Brooklyn, Syd Butler was trying to figure out how to grow. He had a pretty decent office, running his label Frenchkiss Records with some debonair, and had a few employees under his wing, doing everything but band publicity (that was outsourced to some pigeon that hits windows in Manhattan). But he had no idea what to do from there. He sat down and had a brainstorming session with his subordinates, subordinating them to think of something. “Think, my lovelies, think!” Syd admonished. “We’ve been at this for ...

The solo warped outpourings of Tennessee's Ryan Boos, Nomadic Firs' self-titled record is something of a anomaly in that it had been gestating for six years, is a pastiche of colours and ideas that have coalesced into finite songs, and yet is cohesive much farther beyond what is thought possible from such an amalgam of sounds and grooves. Reminiscent of the breakout hazy debut album by Unknown Mortal Orchestra (especially on 'Vines'). There is a rustic underbelly to these jams that echoes from Boos' rustic life (he owns a petite farm with his wife), and it is these pastoral ...

Fill your ears with metal and more by listening to this mixtape put together by the curators of this month's I'll Be Your Mirror festival Fans of South Park, as well as anyone with an interest in metal, will be familiar with the Slayer tune Raining Blood: on an episode called Die Hippie, Die it was used to drive a hippie festival from town. It's the record that kicks of this mixtape, produced by the All Tomorrow's Parties team to herald their second I'll Be Your Mirror festival in the UK. These are a new ...

The more I’ve listened to Nomadic Firs‘ debut S/T LP (out now on Crash Symbols) the more I’m swept in…the more I’m in love with it.  Ryan Boos has taken some folk like po like songs and blanketed them in beautiful electronic grime.  He’s rehashed rock and roll and freewheeled it into cut up/sampled/delayed synth [...]

Por dónde empezar… Como ustedes podrán saber, Ryan Boos es uno de mis más queridos amigos virtuales, internet friends, o como les quieran llamar, y una de las personas más interesantes, talentosas y creativas que he conocido en mi vida. Sus proyectos, Case Point y Nomadic Firs, han estado variadas veces aquí en Matinée as Hell, e [...]

This song touches on a lot of the compositional ideas of the past 10 years or so: cloaking looped vocals in 'verb, thumping a bass/snare beat in the lowest register, a one-man-band making a synthy melody. You could name around six thousand bands following this general formula, but what sticks Nomadic Firs out in the wilderness is not the fact that he literally made this record in the wilderness – Ryan Boos, the man beneath the moniker, lives on a small farm in Tennessee with his wife &...

The last two Drum & Bass Friday posts may have been on Saturday, but I am really excited about doing this Drum & Bass post this Friday. This firs…

Following on from last year's inconceivably wonderful, inaugural London leg of All Tomorrow's Parties' city-dwelling sibling  I'll Be Your Mirror , the show this month rolls on as Glaswegian guitar heroes Mogwai  team up with Barry Hogan & co. for what look set to be three days of aural devastation (look no further than Slayer  churning out seminal '86 LP Reign in Blood  in its entirety on the Friday) and slightly more dainty sonic delights (ATP Recordings' very own Tennis  and the Tall Firs  for instance, both playing Sunday). Taking place within Alexandra Palace atop remote north London mound, here's who we'd insistently advise on experiencing, having of course already implored the acquisition of entrance... The Afghan Whigs Who: The aspirational, stadium-styled alt. rock band it's not only OK but advised to adore, Greg Dulli's The Afghan Whigs  fly into the capital for a UK exclusive. Why: Now or never. Maybe... Irrespective, when news broke of Guided By Voices' retraction from rundown it hit pretty hard although arguably nowhere near as heartily as the soulful swagger of Gentlemen should do come Sunday. Stream below and indulge daydreams of hearing the thing resound around the salubrious environs of the Great Hall. Then dread the drudge back to reality come Monday. When: Sunday. Antoni Maiovvi Who: The latest pseudonym of barking Bristol resident Anton Maiof, expect Italo-disco propensities sprinkled with a touch of abrasion thieved from this intrepid sonic adventurer's noise rock past. Why: Depending on emotion and level of intoxication, Maiof may split off into yet another personality in the randy, rampaging, whisky-swilling and veritably Hydian 'Detective Maiovviwitz' . Something surely worth witnessing, no? When: Saturday. Codeine Who: Soporific NYC slowcore stalwarts appositely named after the narcotic never not close at hand to, nor buried in the handbag of any clandestine over-the-counter addict it's an intensely numbing pleasure to have them back. When I See The Sun –  the remastered discography – is sounding loose and yet more lucid than ever before too. Why: Absent for longer than they were ever active, this could well be the Once in a Lifetime you may find yourself in a beautiful hall, with this stupefying band... When: Saturday. Death Grips Who: Acerbic Sacramento hip hoppers currently propping up the R'n'B LP chart with ingenious major label debut The Money Store , the filth-mouthed Stefan Burnett and his backup production boys are must-sees of the forthcoming estival season that stretches well beyond I'll Be Your Mirror. Why: If the record alone may pertain to such visceral raucousness then one can only recoil in horror-struck wonder [read worry] at what it may become in the Palace's darkest crevice. Forget the lethargy of DOOM's lacklustre showing of yesteryear ; this year's solitary hip hop act promises to inject some steroidal anarchy into proceedings. When: Friday. Demdike Stare Who: So-called 'hauntologists' Miles Whittaker and Sean Canty combine to compute Demdike Stare  whose brisk and bone-tingling techno obscurantism is intensely stimulating without ever overindulging nor elaborating much beyond ratchet clanks and the evoking of an ominously industrial gloaming. Why: The titanic ...

There is never a wrong time to play a song like "Golden Age" from Silver Firs, it encompasses every emotion imaginable and somehow transforms those feelings into a purely optimistic sound.

Nonesuch No, Mac Rebennack didn’t come into this world in the guise of the hoodoo-voodoo character, Dr. John. Instead, the New Orleans-born pianist, a musical byproduct of the piano professors and blues, R&B; and jazz musicians he heard growing up in the Crescent City, remade himself as the Firs...

Before the Swedish metal powerhouse went to Asia and Australia to present the latest album ?Khaos Legions?

The video was once again produced by the Swedish director Patric Ullaeus (In Flames, Dimmu Borgir, etc.) and is the firs... Read More/Discuss on Metal Underground.com
