As previously reported, multi-talented songwriter, producer and composer Jherek Bischoff is set to release his debut album Composed in just over a week. The first single off Composed, the astounding ‘Young & Lovely’ featuring Zac Pennington (Parenthetical Girls) and French singer Soko, came out as a limited edition 7″ for Record Store Day, backed with another [...]

There’s a rather cinematic new music video out today from Jherek Bischoff of the Dead Science and Parenthetical Girls. The ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/media/jherek-bischoff/young-and-lovely-f-zac-pennington-and-soko-video-p/65272/

Doomsday Student's debut record A Jumper's Handbook came out n November of last year, but I saw them for the first time last week at 285 Kent, opening for Ed Schrader's Music Beat and Dan Deacon's ambient side project Pardilince Bird. Next door, at Glasslands, was a show with Perfume Genius and Parenthetical Girls, and due to a miscommunication between the venues (usually they coordinate to make sure no overflow gets through the walls) and the fact the Doomsday Student is some of...

Frank YangIf you thought that any combination of it being a Sunday night and Easter would result in a lightly-attended Perfume Genius show at The Drake on Sunday night, you’d have been wrong. Which is to say that I was wrong; the handful of tickets remaining were snatched up when doors opened and by the [...]

Recommended Show: TUESDAY, APRIL 3, 2012 THE MAGNETIC FIELDS @ BEACON THEATER 2124 Broadway New York, NY 10023 $35, 7PM Funny how The Magnetic Fields concert tonight coincides so closely with the mention of a New York concert on last night's Gossip Girl , eh?

MP3: Walrus – Growing Pains Walrus are two brothers from Halifax producing minimalist pop. That’s all the info available on this Canadian duo, apart from the fact their debut EP is called Onetwotree. There’s a loosely ambitious vibe akin to Parenthetical Girls and Of Montreal, though wildly scaled down. While the sounds aren’t comparable in scope or

Pop polymath? Maybe, but don't go expecting LMFAO from this composer of opulent song suites Jherek Bischoff was described by the New York Times as a "pop polymath", which sort of makes sense, given the fact he has fingers in many pies – he's performed with the likes Parenthetical Girls , Xiu Xiu and Amanda Palmer and describes himself as a composer, producer, performer and arranger – but the "pop" bit is perhaps slightly misleading. We're not talking LMFAO here. Instead, Bischoff creates opulent and undulating song suites that sweep and swoop in all the right places, displayed expertly on ...

Is that rain so often falling from the Seattle sky, or is it tears? It seems that it’s been sad times for Mike Hadreas, the man behind Perfume Genius who fortunately has a knack for channeling his pain into heartrending piano ballads rather than falling apart. The excellent new record, Put Your Back N 2 [...]
