The project is created and led by Jean-Sébastien Nouveau (Immune, Recorded Home, Colo Colo) with american Jordan Geiger (Minus Story, Shearwater, Hospital Ships) and multi-instrumentist Jonathan Grandcollot (Pan Pan Pan, Robe Et Manteau). Some other friends/musicians have joined in the making of the album. Conception and elaboration of LOST LOST LOST was inspired by the [...]

NPR : The job of a music producer, engineer or mixer is rarely one that will make someone a star. Unless you’re a George Martin, Brian Eno, or Timbaland, hard work behind the scenes in the studio can be a selfless task. But thumb through the liner notes of records released in the last few years and you’ll see John Congleton’s name pop up again and again. As one of indie rock’s in-demand producers, engineers, mixers, Congleton is a utility player whose musical fingerprints are all over a ton of stellar recordings from Explosions in the Sky ...

As 2011 quietly and quickly comes to a close it is a good time to reflect on the year just past. A year of exploration and discovery, fun and enjoyment. Pain and beauty. Joy and ragged edges. Trends and movements. Disappointment and surprise. Elation. Sometimes. Many albums were purchased, yes I still do that, and some exceeded expectations. Some didn't. One album though met and exceeded all expecations. The cover told a story. Through faces, homes, planes and mountains we peered into the depth of humanity. From within voices glistened and instruments sounded the memory lines of music. Foxes ...

Trans Musicales, or to give it it's full title of Les Rencontres Trans Musicales , is a music festival with an illustrious history held in Rennes yearly since 1979, and prides itself on uncovering hidden acts waiting to burst onto the musical world. Just like The 405 ay? A kindred spirit of philosophie in terms of undiscovered artists should very much make for a joyous experience for the time period of December 1st-3rd. An exhausting one at that too; the first act I want to see on the Friday are on at 2:30pm - and the final act at 5am ...

Good bro's Hospital Ships on NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts

On Lonely Twin , Hospital Ships' poppy folk songs and brash rockers are packed with instrumental flourishes and bursts of feedback. But in this stripped-down performance at the NPR Music offices, Jordan Geiger's beautifully crushing songs pack an emotional punch.

This one-man Kansas act evokes The Beatles and The Flaming Lips.

Not a bad mixtape coming your way. Quite moody yet so wonderfully satisfying. Some old classics in between. Highlights gotta be a outstanding and epic tune from M83 , moody remix by Four Tet , brilliant little lo-fi track from Lost Boy? , divine electro goth from Silent Diane and terribly good rockin' The Men . And of course the song that has made my mind wander back to the early nineties at the end of the mix by Mazzy Star . All in all grounded yet divine mix that gives you the chillssss.....bitte! Mixtape#26 / 26th of september 2011 / The Mix of Good ...

The Graveface collective keeps it in the family with the new project Marshmallow Ghosts, featuring members of Hospital Ships, Lady Lazarus, and label anchors Black Moth Super Rainbow. A decidedly pop affair saturated with macabre tongue-in-cheek lyrics, “The Hearse Song” is the first single off the group’s Halloween-themed eponymous debut. Dig the classic college radio [...]

Lonely Twin starts with a blast of joy: “open up the door and let me in” sings frontman Jordan Geiger, through a nest of strange instruments. The song is a pop bomb, and it leads us into the new Hospital Ships record. Hospital Ships is primarily Geiger, occasional member of Shearwater, and former frontman for [...]

1. Grooms - "Prom" (By adding glitchy electronics to their fuzzy, squalling guitar workouts with a sharper focus on catchy melodies; the trio's sophomore album Prom out now on Kanine Records, is their best yet.) http://kaninerecords.com/grooms Download: http://www.tellallyourfriendspr.com/singles/grooms_prom.mp3 2. Eleanor Friedberger - "My Mistakes" (Jaunty keyboards, saxophone and other quirky sounds abound on the infectious Summer-y first single from the first solo album from Eleanor of The Fiery Furnaces. The super-poppy Last Summer is out now on Merge.) http://www.eleanorfriedberger.com/ Download: http://www.mergerecords.com/audio/eleanor/MyMistakes.mp3 3 ...
