The Pass, it’s all the rage in my circle of Twitter friends, and for good reason. As Joe (@eachnotesecure author of the great Cincinnati blog of the same name) said, “The Pass are a little like Passion Pit, if the lead singer of PP could sing” and I totally agree, hahaha. In fact, it’s what I hoped Passion Pit would turn into after that initial, wonderful EP. Alas, it was not to be and we have this wonderful, young, new band to dance to, to love to, to well, you know…. do whatever to
Buke and Gass are just so interesting – I’m so sad to have missed them when they came to the Empty Bottle. I got this in the mail and knew right away that it was something I wanted you all to have. It exemplifies the thing about music that I think blogs are particularly good for — finding music that you won’t hear on the radio and most likely won’t hear live in your neighborhood place. Unless you’re lucky enough to live in a large, diverse city, you’re not going to just stumble across this type of sound. And more’s the pity for that, because “Medulla Oblongata,” with this rush of strings and merge of styles and melody that just won’t stick in your head no matter, what makes you THINK. I like to think instead of just sitting there soaking music in all the time. I hope you do too (mostly because I hope I’m not the only weirdo.) Her voice is emotive without being strained and stretched. Matched as it is with the fury of the instrumentation, the vocals don’t have to take it to the extreme. And that is only part of the way that this track embodies the “less is more” mantra of modern life. I find “Your Face Left Before You” is more melodic even though at first listen it’s angular, and abrupt. Does your Mondays feel like this sometimes too? Turn this up loud! xoxo
P.S. the label that puts this gorgeous raucousness out is Brassland, self-described as, “an artist-operated label from Brooklyn started in 2001 by The National’s Aaron & Bryce Dessner (Clogs) and writer Alec Hanley Bemis (LA Weekly, the New York Times, etc.). We encourage collaboration and creation among an evolving assortment of creative folks.”
Speaking of collaboration! Last but not least, pop over here to stream this lovely new Buddy Guy/B.B. King collaboration, Stay Around a Little Longer in anticipation of Buddy Guy’s new album, Living Proof, due out October 26th. (You can purchase the download of the single from amazon.com)
And, most importantly what does your congressman expect the internet to be?
Does this seem like a string of unrelated questions to you? It’s not.
Fans’ expectations are everything. They are exactly what the music industry gambles on with every product it puts out, be it a new album, a tour poster, an artist, or that action figure you wished you’d bought ten years ago and had kept in its original packaging. If the industry can gauge fans’ expectations properly it makes a profit, misjudging them means a loss. Who is this “industry” that I’m talking about? Obviously, it’s the gatekeepers; the ones who determine which artists reach wider audiences, who’s songs we hear on HBO trailers, which bands get big tours and sign to labels with big advertising budgets. When a band like The Antlers move from putting out their music on their own, and booking their own tours, to having a label arrange things for them, obviously other people are betting on their chances of attracting fans (and their money.) I love that band, and most certainly would not begrudge them a minute of their “big break” which is really the result of a lot of years of hard work. But from a business perspective, that was a bet well made, I’m happy to say. And I’m thrilled to be even the tiniest part of that “industry” effort, as a fan who writes about them and encourages you to buy their album and see them play. It’s 100% positive as far as I feel it.
This past week Sufjan Steven’s new album The Age of Adz was the center of discussion among my blogger friends for two reasons: everyone was waiting for it to leak and his label, Asthmatic Kitty put out a controversial email to folks who had previously bought from them on bandcamp.com, an email which was discussed on The Village Voice’s music blog, Sound of the City.
Go read it for yourself.
Here’s the part that got my hackles up a bit, it concerns the practice of reduced pricing, where Amazon will sell a “hot” album for something like $3.99 the first week or so:
So you might wonder why we’d “allow” Amazon to sell it for lower than that.
There are several reasons why, but mostly? It’s because we believe in you. We trust you and in your ability to make your own choice. Here are some you might make if you decide to obtain the album:
You can preorder the physical CD and LP. We are currently taking preorders on both, selling them for $12+S&H and $20+S&H respectively. Those who preorder will get a digital download of the album 2 weeks early on September 28th. You can do that here: https://www.scdistribution.com/sufjan/
You can preorder the digital album via Bandcamp, starting right now. The cost of the preorder is $8. As a sign of thanks, those who preorder will also receive their download two weeks early on September 28th. (This offer ends September 27th at 11pm EST.) Do that here: http://sufjanstevens.bandcamp.com/album/the-age-of-adz
You can mosey on down to your local independent record store and preorder or buy it there.
You can wait for whatever pricing may or may not occur on the big broad Internet on release day.
Finally, you could just download the album after it leaks without paying a dime from any number of sources on the internet. (We’d rather you not.)
What I took away from this all is pretty clearly put forth in my comments on the Voice’s blog, comments that received some critique, and so be it. You don’t always see eye to eye with folks on the internet, now do you? But I do still think that if you, as a label, don’t believe in reduced pricing, then don’t do it. If you’re of two minds about it, don’t pass that on to me, your consumer, and try to guilt trip me into doing what you feel is the “right thing to do.” That’s just not respecting my choices, no matter how you map them out. They’re really not choices, now are they? Reduced pricing is a way for labels to gamble on fans’ expectations, hoping that they’ll sell enough product to make it worth selling at that $3.99 when they really believe (or so they say) that album is worth $12.00. And if they’re right, they will increase fans’ expectations because so many of them bought that album that even more of them want it now. I know, I know, I’m pointing out the obvious, sorry. It’s insulting.
Spend your money how you wish.
The music industry expects you to pay for your music because you value it, and pay even more to see the elite musicians that you’ve got a long history of financially rewarding, or pay to see those artists who’ve made the big deals with the big companies, simply because well… someone’s throwing money at them and so should you. Some say the music industry has little interest in you making decisions on how to spend your money, it’s all too ready to tell you what’s cool, what’s valuable, what’s fashionable, what’s “bank.” Afterall, we’ve got one or two TV channels devoted to that, now don’t we? But that’s all cultural critique and mostly the game for sociologists and pundits, religious leaders and the Moral Majority. I’ll only give you the straight Marxist line — Continue reading Well, now that Sufjan Steven’s The Age of Adz has leaked…
“Friend” is the adventurous video debut from Cheyenne Marie Mize. Shot in her home of Louisville, Ky., “Friend” features giant puppets courtesy of Sean Hennessey and Squallis Puppeteers, cameos from her friends and collaborators Wax Fang, and the ornate ambiance of The Rathskeller Room in Louisville’s famed Seelbach Hilton Hotel. Directed by Mike Fitzer and Produced by Sara Whittaker of the Bisig Impact Group.
Cheyenne’s debut Before Lately will be out October 12th, 2010 via sonaBLAST! Records. Check her out on bandcamp.com
Jenny Gillispie’s new album, Kindred is out now and this Chicagoan enlisted the aid of Austin, TX producer, Darwin Smith to bring us something unique and lyrical. You can stream the whole thing on her bandcamp page and decide for yourself just how much you really want this, (hint, you’ll want it.) Jenny Gillespie – In the Garden by CrashAvenue
And this gorgeous EP by Torontonian, Chloe Charles,Little Green Bud, came out a few days ago and is completely Tart-approved. I think you’ll like her voice and more than that her style of singing, the way she puts it all together in a sort of Joni Mitchell way that’s informed by everything current with today’s feel for this genre of music. Click here to buy it!
Kim Taylor has that more traditionally understood singer/songwriter sound, maybe our modern Carole King (?) and there are just so many times in my week that I really want/need this. “Lost and Found” is especially one of those songs that I know I’ll be singing loudly in my car on some rainy day this Autumn. It’s nice to hear an album and foresee the place it will fit into in your life. I know Kim’s gotten a lot of good press lately, let’s not hold that against her, eh?
Carl Hauck is a young guy from Chicago who’s name I’ve been hearing for a few months now and who I’ve yet to hear play, live. I just missed him the other night, damnit! But here’s his single, off his forthcoming album of the same name, Windjammer… pre-order it here. I’m gonna catch him soon and when I get ahold of his album you will hear all about it.
And last but certainly not least! This I just discovered from a fellow blogger friend, who’s also in a band and sheepishly snuck this little mp3 out to me, all coy and all. It’s gorgeous, and once again, I’m desperately jealous of you Londoners! Do go and hear Silvermoths as this little snippet is only a taste of the dulcet tones they are capable of. It’s a Kate Bush cover, and the female vocals are so piquant and bright. The instrumentation also deserves comment, it’s truly artfully done, very accomplished they are, it shows. I couldn’t have left you on a softer, sweeter note for the weekend, m’dears xoxo
La Scala are a local Chicago wunderband. I say that because they not only make some pretty nifty music themselves, as you will hear below, but they are the recording genius behind My Gold Mask too. Their latest album, The Last Carousel came out July 30th and it’s a wonderful romp through 60′s pop with a post-punk veneer. What La Scala has going on is truly authentic and original and I dare you to play some of this at your next party. You’ll have at least 4 people asking you who this is, guaranteed.
This, of course, caught my eye with it’s cute name and play on words. But it takes more than that to get posted in the Shack (at least not during xmas holidays!) and I think you’ll agree that this little song is awfully catchy too. Yeah, it’s got a sort of Psychedelic Furs feel to it and we’re carrying on that post-punk/new wave feel here for your Thursday, but I like the way the casio-effect brightens up the whole “deadpan vocals as cool factor” of it.

I love just about everything this band does, and I’m not ashamed to say that it’s largely because I cut my indie teeth on the Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine, back in the day. But A Place To Bury Strangers isn’t merely a replacement for the music of my own adolescence, it’s taken a new direction with that searing, tearing sound you can make a guitar do and given life to effects that can all too easily be just cold manipulations of chords and knobs. If you’ve got an ounce of appreciation for industrial or noise music in you, give this a try (if you’ve not already!) I find their music to be incredibly alive, full-on sexy, and in-your-face evocative. Sadly they’ve not added a Chicago date to their itinerary. We can only hope that will happen soon, xoxo I Lived My Life To Stand In The Shadow Of Your Heart (Secret Machines Remix) by MuteUSA

We have yet another addition by our Man About Town, Mike Gutierrez. This was just too good to sit on any longer!
If you’ve ever seen Tony Castles live, you know they are capable of being much louder, noisier, more chaotic than they let on in their new EP No Service. Jake Aron was brought aboard to record and produce the still impressionable trio out of (wait for it….wait for it…) Brooklyn, and his fingerprints are all over this album. Mr. Aron’s producing credits include Yeasayer, Jamie Lidell, and Chairlift, and No Service particularly channels some of the “world indie” vibe of Odd Blood.
Ornate percussion, Caribbean melodies, compositional curlicues that seem at pains to communicate the seductive musicianship of Tony Castles; it’s no mistake that the trio was tabbed for tour dates with Fool’s Gold. These guys can play. For a three-piece the songs are impressively deep and full. “Adequate Sheen” is a shimmering pop odyssey reminiscent of the best of Police; ska and reggae shade the namesake track “No Service”; and “Black Girls in Dresses” takes you back to the nasal hippie jams of the Samples (does anyone remember that band?). Wavves could spit out three albums and not scratch the surface of what Tony Castles does in five songs on the EP. And yet, for all their chops, you can’t help but sense their inner Nathan Williams trying to fight his way into the foreground. The rough-n-tumble choruses on “Dream Job” (and the spacey breakdowns) hint at a grungier version of the band. Tony Castles wears the scream-n-shout lyric well, thank you very much.
With the 20th anniversary of “Nevermind” on the horizon, it would be a lovely time for indie music to re-inject some much needed, post-Chillwave aggro into their applesauce. But it’s futile to pine away about the album you might have had. As it stands, Tony Castles’ No Service is an impressive debut showcasing boatloads of talent, and hinting at much, much more. With some time to mature and find their own voice, the sophomore release (or full album?) could be something to get very excited about.

For my 600th post I fiddled around and wondered what to do and decided to give it away to Mike, my guest writer, because sometimes stuff isn’t very meaningful unless you share it.
Rounding out the Stateside leg of their current tour before crossing the Atlantic to the Old Country, Caspian rolled into Chicago for a night of atmospheric post rock. The last time I covered the boys from Beverly the setting was Stuttgart, Germany, with the band gigging hard on the momentum of their recently-released Tertia. The LP was a fiery and reflective ode to sonic transfiguration. Being an entirely instrumental ensemble, Caspian has the freedom to explore some compositional nuances that often get trampled upon by the heavy footprint of lead vocals. “Nuances” though makes it sound as if these guys were having a tea party onstage; quite the opposite, the guitar/synth assaults come heavy and hard, alternating with quieter moments, which serve as brief oases of calm, before the eye of the storm passes and the songs whip back into a stormy frenzy. In Stuttgart, Caspian was all business, ripping through the set very much as you would hear it on the album.
The band that arrived in Chicago, however, was much more spontaneous. Fishing through material from their previous three albums- Tertia, The Four Trees, and You Are the Conductor- the set proved a good deep sampling of their sound. And more than the depth of catalogue, Caspian was ratcheting up the tension of the night with some serious “stage craft”. Any band will learn a few tricks if you send them out on the road long enough, and Caspian might be one of the hardest gigging bands I know. The set began with gargantuan frontman Philip Jamieson crouched over a nest of guitar pedals, cast in chiaroscuro light, fiddling with knobs to build a gentle electric crescendo of needling anticipation, until the rest of the band joined in on cue, like a hammer falling, and the room exploded.
Another surprise: a mid-set solo guitar piece by Mr. Jamieson. These pared-down numbers can sometimes prove momentum killers for less experienced acts, but Caspian pilots its set like a finely-crafted roadster. Accelerating, decelerating on command; turning on a dime; basically owning the stage. Nearly nonstop touring over the past few years has sharpened their performance instincts and it was hard not to appreciate anything they did Wednesday, except for the by-the-numbers drum circle closer. But even that gesture was entertaining. The other acts on the bill- The Alaya Conscious, The Crown and Two Chairmen, and The Felix Culpa- would do well to have paid close attention. “Post rock”, as the genre is often vaguely identified as, is more than ex-metal fans with tribal piercings and black T-shirts. At its best post rock own the finest sonic textures of heavy rock, the brash guitars, the martial snare, the driving bass, and lets them breathe in a grander, spacier, more epic compositional architecture. Wednesday night Caspian hit all those high points, with their own idiosyncratic flair: marvels of the genre. Don’t sleep on this band, Chicago.
Check their MySpace page for their extensive European tour dates.
From their next four song 12″ vinyl release, A Million Miles (From Where We Were Last), My Gold Mask just continues to wow us here in Chicago and all of you around the globe who have been introduced to this amazing duo. Their record release show is November 13, at Schubas, so come out and celebrate with us! It’s not difficult to see where the title of this new record comes from. They’ve recently been in NYC to be part of Fashion Week. Vogue put them in their list of 10 best shows on Fashion’s Night Out, and they’ve been gallivanting around with Sheena Beaston. They played two shows there, September 10 and 11th, and as Sheena notes, Gretta’s been recognized as “being a trendsetter in rock fashion style by Blackbook Magazine, who said ‘Gretta Rochelle’s fleshy voice ranges from milky to primal screams. Her look, much like her sound, is one part electro, one part witch-doctor, one part Indiana Jones adventuress, with face paint and wild eye makeup.’” Wow! I’m not saying that a year and a half ago, when I first met Gretta and Jack, they were nowhere in the music business, but… they certainly hadn’t envisioned playing shows in New York City, for Fashion Week just yet. Although they they definitely should have, xoxo
Alright my dears, get your calendars out! There’s a load of shows coming your way and I’m just going to do a roundup of what I think you shouldn’t miss. I’m totally inundated with emails about truly good bands touring and I really wish I had time and space to tell you about each one in its own post, but alas. These are the shows I’m honestly going to make, they’re that good!
September 18 – Titus Andronicus with Best Coast, Free Energy and Male Bonding come to Metro. Again, I’m shocked there’s a ticket left. You’d better buy it now. This might possibly be the best lineup of the Fall season. Seriously. I’m so there, for the whole night. Oh yes. And that is a shame because the very same night, not that far away is Justin Townes Earl and the ever lovely and always my favorite girl in the room, Jessica Lea Mayfield at Lincoln Hall. Sigh.
September 22 – Dead Confederate is at the Double Door with Alberta Cross. And you know I loved that album. I can not wait to hear that live. See my review here.
September 24 – The Foals are at Lincoln Hall and I would so love to go to that but I don’t have a ticket and know no one who PRs them, so alas, I am just a lowly fan without a lover. Sniff, sniff… (that is sooooo sold out!)
September 26 – Drink Up Buttercup plays The Subterranean and thankfully Mike of QRO is going to cover that for us, for we will be exhausted!
September 27 – Women come to Schubas and I will not miss that come hell or high water because I love their album so damn much, I review it here.
September 28 – Elf Power is at the same club the very next night so I might as well bring my sleeping bag. And this is one of my all time favorite bands and I am so very excited to hear them, if you’ve not made their acquaintance yet you really should. They’ve been together for 16 years now and still going strong. Their latest album, Elf Power, is such a quintessentially Elf Power-ish record. See my review here.
September 30 – Gayngs are coming to Metro and you should go see this because it looks like it’s just plain fun. The press release says, “Ten of the twenty-plus contributors on the Relayted album will be there, including Justin Vernon and Mike Noyce of Bon Iver, ringleader Ryan Olson, Zak Coulter and Adam Hurlburt of Solid Gold. Jake Luck of Leisure Birds, Ivan Rosebud of The Rosebuds, Brad Cook and Joe Westerlund of Megafaun, and Mike Lewis of Andrew Bird and Happy Apple will all be there too!” Sometimes you have to be a star-chaser, ya know? The music is good too.
October 1 – Wintersleep, is a band who I somehow lost track of somewhere after their debut in 2003. I’ve been listening to that first record for ages now. And this latest one, New Inheritors, is promising to be huge! They’re touring with The Hold Steady and coming to Chicago’s Vic Theater, (where you can buy your tickets, cash only, at the box office and avoid fees.) This single, “Trace Decay” is quite polished and “indie-fied” compared to their early, early sound. But it’s powerful. I like it. It’s yours in return for your email address. That’s a small price to pay, now isn’t it?
October 10 – OK Go brings it all to the House of Blues and make sure you read this editorial in The Washington Post by Damian Kulash (lead singer in OK Go!) on Net Neutrality. “White Knuckles” is their newest single and they are having a remix contest, check it out here. And that’s as far as I got into my calendar. I’ll be in NYC the weekend of Oct. 8-9 so if you’re around, let’s say hi, xoxo
Don’t Do It mp3 Sharon Van Etten epic … out October 9, pre-order from BaDaBing! Love More mp3
[update: You can listen to epic at NPR's First Listen page until September 28] Sharon Van Etten completely won me over at Pitchfork Fest this summer and I’m so excited to see she’s coming back to Chicago in November. I’ve received a pre-release copy of her new album, epic, and it is so lovely. I’ll have a proper review up for you when it’s out on October 9. Until then you can enjoy these two tracks and mark your calendars for when she comes by your town. Her solitary voice, like that one in your head that repeats throughout your day, and her delivery of what are often time capsules of emotion are not to be missed. I love how she does this with just a little air of uncertainty that’s absolutely believable. Every time I listen to “Don’t Do It” I’m utterly convinced by it, not just by it’s lyrics but by the authenticity of the song itself. I’d been hearing about Sharon Van Etten for ages before I ever really listened to her, and everything I heard gave me the impression that she was someone’s younger sister that they were very, very proud of. Hopefully without coming off as patronizing, (for they surely were not!) I can understand that now. Sharon Van Etten is undoubtedly a rising star. And without knowing anyone who is her friend, I can say with all confidence, that all her friends are proud of her. xoxo
