Partman Parthorse: Year Of The Jerk [Album Review]

Partman Parthorse

One develops a special sort of affinity for Partman Parthorse once they’ve experienced their live performance. This is hardly a statement to take lightly; frankly put, watching Partman Parthorse perform for the first time is equatable to loosing your virginity or experiencing the stage performance of Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time. There is a special part of you that is lost forever and, as much as it saddens you that the next time will not be the first, you’re definitely looking forward to that next time.

Javier Suarez [Feature Artist]

Javier Suarez

I’ve fallen in love with “Yarn Blues” by Yarn Owl, a small pop trio out of my college town of Pullman, WA. The three attend Washington State University (my Alma Mater) and include on percussion Ted Powers (Ether Hour) and on bass Tim Meinig (Band Of Horses, Run River Run) and on guitar/vocals Javier Suarez. Javier’s demo, Note, Beat, Word Collection landed on my promo rack via a mutual friend. Read More »Javier Suarez [Feature Artist]

Desmond Reed: The Window Shopping EP [3″ CD Single Review]

Desmond Reed

Desmond Reed is a mystery. The clues are few. It’s a he, he resides in Massachusetts, and he shares his name with a USC Trojan football player. So I guess it’s a little surprising that his music is not a mystery. The messages are clear and honest and simple and, at times, a little strange. At least that’s what can be gathered off his three-song, three-inch CD-R out now on Susy Records, The Window Shopping EP. Read More »Desmond Reed: The Window Shopping EP [3″ CD Single Review]

Eula: Language Of Threat [Album Review]

Eula

Art. Angst. Awesome. Three words starting with “A” that one can easily attribute to Eula (MySpace), a band so filled with elements of pop and punk and blaring rock that it’s amazing any of them still have eardrums left to help keep them in tune. Language Of Threat, their latest EP, is filled with the hyped-up, in-your-face sounds I referenced when they debuted opener “Housewolf” a few months back.

The Snowdrops: Mad World [7″ Review]

Keith Girdler of The Snowdrops

What is the best way to debut on a record label devoted to the sweetest of indie pop? How about naming the single after a hit song from the ’80s and covering that song as the A-Side? While it may not work for every band, it works almost too well for The Snowdrops. You’ve likely heard the original by Tears for Fears. You probably even like the Gary Jules cover better after seeing it in Donnie Darko. Well, look no further as The Snowdrops have created the ultimate version of “Mad World.” I would be absolutely thrilled to have a jet engine fall out of the sky and kill me while listening to this tune. No, it’s not as sad as Jules’ version. Or as quick as the original. It is, however, pure bliss. Read More »The Snowdrops: Mad World [7″ Review]

The Legends There And Back Again

The Legends: There and Back Again [Album Review]

The Legends have been a favorite of mine since I discovered their debut LP Up Against The Legends in 2004. Since then, I have worked diligently to piece together a library of their recorded workings. I am close to succeeding, though for the final 7″ I’ll probably have to fly to Sweden. Most recently, I purchased the There and Back Again single.

The Ginger Envelope Band

The Ginger Envelope: Edible Orchids [Album Review]

One can draw several conclusions from the cover of Edible Orchids. First, it gives the distinct impression of The Ginger Envelope being a post-Elephant 6 band. The green tint, personally, takes me back to Everything Is Green, an early release by The Essex Green on Elephant 6 and the newly resurgent Kindercore. The name of the band and album is the second hint–the names roll off the tongue like those off the lovable indie pop label. So, one shouldn’t be too surprised that The Ginger Envelope hail from Athens, an indie pop hot spot, and possesses the sound of Elephant 6.

Furia De Buzo Ciego: Furia De Buzo Ciego [Album Review]

Furia De Buzo Ciego

I love worldly pop music and Furia De Buzo Ciego is no exception. Hailing from Venezuela, the tunes are all in Spanish, but their list of influences runs deep along the lines of more US based 90s indie artists: Lou Barlow, David Bazan, Calvin Johnson, Robert Pollard; you get the point. With that list of influences, it’s no surprise that the group hones in on the softer side of 90s indie rock. Read More »Furia De Buzo Ciego: Furia De Buzo Ciego [Album Review]
