Has ruralwave music gone mainstream? Dirty Projectors support Bon Iver, says HIPSTER RUNOFF is the scum of the indiesphere Bon Iver responds 2 'the haterz' with a cryptic message. Scared.

Nat Baldwin is more than just the guy with the bass (not the cello...) in Dirty Projectors, as he's proving with his stream of fantastic solo work. 'Weights', for example (have a listen below) is one of the more remarkable pieces of modern composition you'll hear; it owes as much to Owen Pallett as it does Arthur Russell yet sounds heavily indebted to neither. We caught up with Baldwin before his recent UK shows for a quick chat. A lot of people will know you primarily from your work with Dirty Projectors - introduce your solo project for us ...

The Dirty Projectors are a critically respected buzzband, whose buzz trajectory underwent a massive metamorphosis in 2k9 after adjusting their band lineup. However, after the recent Twitter beef that Bon Iver's lead singer started with the popular weblog HIPSTER RUNOFF , many other relevant buzz humans and buzzbands are rushing to support the #cyberbullying and #slutshaming of Carles . The Dirty Projectors backup singer Amber Coffman is the next to speak out against Carles and his controversial editorial voice. She supports Bon Iver , claiming that HIPSTER RUNOFF is a site that exists to "tries to cheapen + ruin everyone's hard work ...

NNA Tapes earned our good favor long before Co La, Laurel Halo and Hubble. It's a trusted label in our circle. We're going to listen to this Ryan Power dude if NNA Tapes is handling the pressing and they are. The uneasiness comes from the musicians vocally backing Ryan Power - particularly Ben Greenberg of Hubble (and producer of every Brooklyn-based album in the past four months), Nat Baldwin of Dirty Projectors and Daniel Lopatin of Oneohtrix Point Never. Why are we skeptical, you ask...

A stagehand moving an iPad is maybe the funniest thing you'll see at a rock show all year. As far as I know, Björk hasn't made an instantly hummable song since 120 Minutes went off the air. So now her life is, justifiably, the indieverse's "important artist," the 800-pound swan in the room, a dreamer and doer of grand gestures, a mix between Amelie and Terrence Malick who gets to vacillate between whimsical and batshit and genius and hilarious and goofy and awesome. The first night of her Biophilia residency at the New York Hall of Science ...

Tiny Mix Tapes went cray over NNA Tapes last year. I mean, NNA deserved it. And they continue to: Ryan Power, brahh. Not only do his melodies sound like nursery rhymes, or a kids show, but his voice is smooth and his lyrics are raww. “I Don’t Want to Die” is probably my least favorite track on his new album, but OK ; it’s only because the chorus has been in my head since Toby (NNA co-owner) sent me the [digital-]LP. * breathe * My girlfriend said something about Dirty Projectors upon first listen. I think he’s more Elliot ...

Extra Life is a New York Band To Watch whose frontman, Charlie Looker, is an elementary school teacher with connections to Dirty Projectors, ZS, Mick Barr, Glenn Branca, and all sorts of other experimental-music heavyweights. They’ll soon release Dream Seeds, their third album, and it’s a fucked-up art-rock record that explores themes of dreams and [...]

Returning this year are familiar faces armed with a new collection of songs. Looking ahead, here are a selection of those to be most excited about. MAJOR LAZER “Now that people know what Major Lazer is we can skip a lot of the ground work,” beams the globe-trotting chameleonic don of dance Diplo, who makes up one-half of neo-dancehall outfit Major Lazer alongside fidget-house producer Switch. The dynamic duo dropped debut ‘Guns Don’t Kill People - Lazers Do’ in mid-2009, a storming collaborative frenzy that fused authentic Jamaican riddims with modern bass-heavy hip-hop. Its successor, the Philadelphian explains, is set ...

A while back, at the very start of Blue Sky I began cooresponding through emails with a wonderful young lady from Buenos Aires. She encouraged me with amazing words of support as I set out on this new path alone. Her name was Juana and she participated in our Under the Radar Birthday Special. Juana stayed in touch with me month after month, always unaware that it was during the hard times that she was sending these great inspirational messages. I needed her, and I very much needed someone like her on the team only I did not want to ...

Download link is in the original post Sounds like: Dirty Projectors, Pattern Is Movement Song: Bruce Peninsula - In Your Light [download here ] What's so good? This is my first time hearing Bruce Peninsula. I know this band is a 10-piece from Canada and I know that their video is intriguing, along with their music. Their album, Open Flames , was released back in early October of last year but they’re just now debuting the video for their song, “In Your Light.” When I first watched the video, which was also the first time hearing their music, I was on ...

Dirty Projectors capo Dave Longstreth has been on the lam since his band’s triumphant Bitte Orca (and its Björk-bolstered sibling Mount Wittenberg Orca), holing up in more rustic locales quite literally shedding on a new record. We don’t know exactly when the new record will be done beyond “this year,” or what it will be [...]

ach, wieder mal ein mehr als passender deckel zum schon ausgezeichneten topf. da vertickt ein gaul die habseligkeiten seines besten freundes, den er tot glaubt. und zwischendurch schwelgt er in erinnerungen an ihr tolles gemeinsames leben. als das pferd dann am grab des freundes steht, ... na, das seht Ihr Euch am besten selbst einmal an. der song "weights" ist ein paradebeispiel für songwriting erster sahne. auf den punkt, ohne großes tohuwabu und trotzdem ergreifend, packend. den herausragenden track des dirty projectors mannes nat baldwin findet man auf dem 2011er album "people changes", erschienen auf western vinyl . das video allerdings ist ...
