Is Sacramento the new Stockton? It’s certainly the birthplace of Fine Steps, the surf pop project of 26-year-old Sacramento native and former Mayyors drummer Julian Elorduy. Other members include guitarist Kyle Hoover and bassist Alex Sowles of Ganglians and Dylan of G. Green, all also hailing from California’s capital. The band’s first LP, Boy’s Co., [...]

by Gumshoe • March 2012 First, instead of busting into my normal intro wherein I alternately bitch/compliment the folks that put SXSW together, allow me to bullet-point a few strange occurrences my wife and I endured at SXSW 2012: • Immediately upon arriving, we saw Matt Pinfield, of 120 Minutes fame, and he said something like, “You kids have fun.” • The Puffy Areolas’ singer/guitarist strapped his guitar onto my wife near the end of their 5 PM set Wednesday; she did her best to paw away at the six-stringed instrument — so intently, in fact, that she didn’t notice he ...

"The best music is what you are going to listen to next" edition - "What has come to be known as indie music cannot be recorded and released in places where people are absolutely independen": un articolo un po' erratico, per così dire, di Joseph Fisher su PopMatters che forse non argomenta alla perfezione ma centra comunque un punto importante: " My Indie Is Not a Centerfold, Nor Is It Indie ". - Il futuro della musica è nella "nuvola" e in tutti quei mirabolanti servizi di streaming di cui parliamo da mesi? Forse sì, se per futuro intendiamo uno scenario senza soldi . - Amate ...

Good news, folks! I saw Ganglians this weekend in Sacramento and they graciously tried a few new songs out on their friends. The exploration of sound and vibe continues (is it moving towards bedroom pop? Did someone purchase a Devo record?), which means we must drop the gnarly titles associated with their Woodsist debut and simply call these fellows a couple'a fine pop enthusiasts. Gross, eh? To tide us over, Ganglians reached back into time to expose "Close Encounters" for consum...

Ganglians unleash a new song that never made it onto their last album "Still Living", even though it's better than some of the tracks on that album.

Επιτέλους, ήρθε η στιγμή που περιμένατε! (Το ξέρουμε ότι δυσκολευόσασταν να κοιμηθείτε τελευταία!) Μετά από επανειλημμένες ακροάσεις σε λίγες εκατοντάδες δίσκους και μερικές χιλιάδες τραγούδια, μπορούμε πλέον να βάλουμε καπάκι στο μουσικό 2011 και να δούμε τι μας έμεινε περισσότερο. Και μας έμειναν, όπως θα δείτε σε αυτό και τα επόμενα ποστς, πολλά. Τα κομμάτια που μας άρεσαν ήταν πάρα πολλά οπότε το να ξεχωρίσουμε (και να γράψουμε για) τα κορυφαία 60 δεν ήταν καθόλου εύκολη δουλειά, αλλά δεν θέλαμε να αδικήσουμε κανένα απ'όλα όσα μας κράτησαν συντροφιά σε μια πολύ γεμάτη χρονιά. Έτσι λοιπόν... 60. Jamie Woon - "Night ...

Lefse Records placed itself at the forefront of chillwave with Neon Indian, Houses, How To Dress Well and it's subsidiary Waaga label. Since the fizzling of chill, Lefse sought the rockist sounds of Ganglians, Youth Lagoon, Legs">Dominant Legs and Way Yes; mostly safe records and one lightening in a bottle album from Idaho. The label never stopped seeking the next odd vibes though, which is is how they encountered the brain-feeding woozy soul vibes of Fred Warmsley's First Person Shootr proje...

Raleigh Moncrief has done a lot of work with a lot of different people. Producing Ganglians, and the great Dirty Projectors album Bitte Orca just to name a couple. He exchanges his glitch-poppy ways and hands it over to Chelsea...
