Grex Second Marriage [SUA; 2011] by Clifford Allen Rating: Pan-stylism presents a challenge, in that in order to focus on doing something well, something else has to be done less well. That’s not to say there haven’t been interesting, valuable, and compelling artists, bands, and composers who have worked pan-stylistically (and rigorously so), but reaching an effective synthesis is an elusive prospect. The Bay Area outfit Grex, consisting of guitarist-vocalist Karl A.D. Evangelista and his partner, vocalist-keyboardist-flutist M. Rei Scampavia, are confounding because they have taken syncretic interests and created a near-seamless blend of modern jazz, contemporary ...

If you look at the direction of Thurston Moore's three solo records — released over the span of 16 years starting in 1995 — you can't help but notice he's getting further away from Sonic Youth. 1995's Psychic Hearts was heavy and angular, and 2007's Trees Outside the Academy mellowed ...

Jad Fair + Hifiklub + kptmichigan Bird House Joyful Noise Recordings [2012] Fire Note Says: Jad Fair pushes the artistic limits for his most adventurous record in years. Album Review: Jad Fair is best known as the founding member of Half Japanese but his solo era has been just as prolific and cutting edge. The newly released Bird House finds him teamed up with French group Hifiklub and German musician kptmichigan. Make no mistake, Bird House will not be for everyone as it represents some of Fair's most artistic work in years as many of the albums 5 tracks have been ...

Παραδοσιακά, ο χρόνος στο some beans κυλάει πιο αργά. Όχι τίποτα άλλο, αλλά θα νομίζετε ότι είμαστε παλαιοημερολογίτες που τώρα γιορτάζουν την έλευση του 2012 και ήδη έχουν περάσει τις θηλιές στο λαιμό τους εν όψει της επικείμενης καταστροφής του κόσμου. Βέβαια, από ότι είδα σε μια αφίσα, αυτές τις μέρες πετάνε το σταυρό στη θάλασσα οπότε ακόμα κι έτσι αργήσαμε. Είπαμε όμως, στα αποστκτήρια του some beans ξέρουμε ότι η καλή η λίτα θέλει το χρόνο της.
